How Sammy Built a Thriving Business (Living Off-Grid in Alaska!)

Your greatest advantage might be hiding in your current challenge.

Hey Beautiful Mama! 👋

I had a conversation a couple weeks that really stuck with me...

We were interviewing Sammy Cummings…

One of our incredible Rainmaker students.

Her story? It's nothing short of remarkable.

Imagine this…

She lives completely off-grid in Alaska.

Some days, she climbs a 100-foot tree just to get a cell signal.

Her nearest grocery store? Three hours away.

And yet...

She's built a thriving business that's growing like wildfire.

Nearly 60,000 Instagram followers.

Physical and digital products are flying off her virtual shelves.

Families across the country drawing inspiration from her journey.

In a world where most people would say,

"It's impossible from here."

Sammy simply asked,

"How can I make it work?"

And the result?

A thriving business and a flourishing family, right from what most would call…

"The middle of nowhere."

What True Adaptability Really Looks Like

When Sammy moved back to Alaska after college, everyone told her she was trading opportunity for remoteness.

No city conveniences.

No quick Target runs.

No easy networking over coffee.

But that supposed "disadvantage" forced her to tap into something powerful...

Her creativity.

At first, she worked remotely for the state of Alaska.

Then she tried her hand at freelancing.

Later, she apprenticed under a wedding photographer to learn the business side.

Then she found Rainmakers...

And suddenly the world of e-commerce blew wide open.

Sammy's journey reminds us of something crucial:

Adaptability isn't just about adjusting to circumstances.

It's about seeing hidden opportunities that everyone else misses.

It's like building a roaring campfire from what others dismiss as just a pile of wet sticks.

Messy? Absolutely.

Possible? Always.

3 Ways to Turn Your Biggest Challenge Into An Asset

Ready for a perspective shift that could change everything for you?

Here's your simple roadmap this week:

Identify ONE challenge in your life right now.

Is it distance from resources?

Time constraints with little ones?

Maybe a lack of experience in your field?

Brainstorm THREE creative ways it could actually be your advantage.

Examples:

  1. "My remote location = unique storytelling angle that stands out"

  2. "My busy mom schedule = laser-focus on just what actually moves the needle"

  3. "My beginner status = freedom to learn without old habits holding me back"

Pick one idea and take ONE action this week.

Share your unique perspective in a social post.

Join a mastermind with your fresh viewpoint.

Start that project with your beginner's enthusiasm.

You don't need perfect circumstances.

You just need fresh eyes to see gold where others only see gravel.

What to Remember When You Feel Behind

Ever feel like you're "too far away," "too late," or "too stuck" to build the life you're dreaming of?

Listen closely...

You are already standing on the exact soil where your dreams can take root.

Sammy didn't wait until she moved to a big city.

She didn't wait for perfect timing or ideal conditions.

She looked around at what she had... and she built from there.

And Beautiful Mama… you can too.

Your unique circumstances aren't your limitation.

They're your differentiation.
