Your GRADUATION Story
My biggest challenge in finishing the modules and some supercharge ones were the reality of running a consulting business. I knew there was never a good time but felt it was now or never in taking 27 + years of proven intellectual business wisdom and sharing it with a much broader market. I now have the EPM magic to expand my offerings in other topics before I decide to retire.
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
Marisa's constant message of "take the step now" was inspiring to this 70 year old to continue regardless of business and personal issues arising. The structured approach to high quality training, set consulting hours. an overload of resources, etc. made it easy to not get too behind and not take advantage of my investment of $ and most especially my time.
Your FIRST SALE Story
We had already introduced our proprietary framework in early 2022 that was an outgrowth of a Stanford University Rebuild program designed during the pandemic, but needed a way to expand and update the course delivery with a fresh approach. The countless EPM "tricks" have refined our approach and value which we are anxious to test and delivery. Our client was very excited to hear of the changes and awarded us a contract right before Thanksgiving. In addition, we have an additional pending contract for another curriculum for the Spring 2023.
Your PROVED MY IDEA Story
The results from the first three cohorts was overwhelming and we knew we had the "real McCoy". We now have the foundation to expand this program beyond cohorts and chambers and address the burgeoning Latino entrepreneurship market.
Your MADE A WHOLE LOT MORE Story
This award is for the 1st quarter with future offerings and facilitations open for further contracting.
What's been the biggest change in your business?
Inability to expand our value and wisdom beyond a finite number of clients due to our limited capacity.
How's EPM and your success impacted your life?
Frankly, it will delay my retirement because I now know how to take my other intellectual property and expand our marketing footprint to new horizons. I hated the idea of retiring and not having my creative work available for others to leverage.
What's your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Progress over Perfection!
What's now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I now know how to take my other intellectual property and expand our marketing footprint to new horizons. I hated the idea of retiring and not having my creative work available for others to leverage.
I was told I was going to be let go from my job at the end of January, I wasn't sure what to do when I would not have income coming in. I joined the EPM Masterclass and I am learning how to design, launch and profit from an Experience Product that will provide income while learning the process. I have put together a Beta Group to help me develop curriculum, test to see if this is the right direction for this program, and bring my profitable Experience Product to life from their feedback. I am still in this process as I still have a bunch more lessons to listen to and learn from but I expect wonderful things to happen in the next 3-6 months!!
Your GRADUATION Story
I was having trouble deciding what area to develop a course in, I wasn't sure how to market to my target audience. I joined the Experience Product Masterclass and I learned how to find my audience and how to engage them in a conversation. I joined groups and forums where my audience hang out. I started commenting in those groups, building connections slowly.
It hasn't changed my business yet. It hasn't impacted my life yet. I'm going to go back through the content again and do it more slowly. It was too rushed for me starting from scratch. Chatterboxing and pivoting, but I'm still learning to spot opportunities to initiate a conversation and pivot the conversation. I'm more likely to build a tribe in the future, around the problem area, than I was before.
"It would be helpful if there was a check-off list of all the things you need to do to get your product done. There is EPM Program Checklist of all the modules and milestones, and there is the Milestone Document, but they are so content heavy and the Milestone Document is clumsy and not user friendly. There must be a better system.
I did find a simple check-off list in the Support section, in the FAQ, in What is the Make Your Money Back Guarantee? If this simple table had a check-off box next to each one, and was made more easilly available, it would be so much easier to keep track and eliminate a lot of confusion.
The Money Back Guarantee should be more detailed and explicit before sign-up, especially to outline clearly what is involved in the 30 conversations. That was a lot more involved than I expected. Of course you don't give money back easily, but I would not have signed up if I'd been fully made aware of those requirements before paying. I found this to not be very transparent.
The Wisdom Wednesday Pod Calls should be in smaller groups. There were a lot of people toward the end of the program, who were still confused about the early stages or hadn't taken any steps yet (e.g. didn't even have a mission statement). It seems a lot of people were left behind. That there is absolutely no further support available for people after the 3 months is disappointing.
I don't feel I got a lot from the EMP at this time, but I'm hoping I will get more from it by going through it more slowly and implementing the steps with more congruence. Rushing through the steps, and the shallow answers provided by Ainslee, at times I haven't felt congruent with my Milestones.
I hope you get lots of feedback to improve the program. I'd love to see the statistics at the end of the program, to see how many people actually made their money back. Do you share that at any point?
I haven't signed up for LYM Live because, from what was said in Best Year Yet, it sounded like an upsell to the Momentum Program, which I'm not interested in. I need to integrate this first, but I guess that's the strategy, get 'em while they're still stuck in their problem.
My biggest take away has been witnessing and learning from how Marisa does what she does. Amazing!!"
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
I have been wanting to offer a course as a way to gain more clients and have seen many advertisements on the media. I actually attended a free webinar session, I think a year or two years ago but did not have the finances to purchase the course. Here i am again, still without finances scrimping through but now reached Mission Accomplished! In the beginning stages of EP had issues completing the milestones early as i saw from others in the EPM facebook chat. I was getting frustrated of not being able to use Ainslee at the start and only manage to during the last week. I persevered and now i have completed the course hoping to get some sales soon.
Your PROVED MY IDEA Story
I became unwell following stillbirth of my baby boy. I developed chronic gut issues and sleep deprived. I went on a quest to see how i could get help as my GP medication was not working. Being an advocate of living a healthy lifestyle i wanted to try the natural way to support my body. At the time my healthy eating was no where it should be. I started working with a Naturopathic practitioner which was a game changer. Implementing the guidelines and recommendation, i started experiencing changes in my gut symptoms and improved sleep. I want to share my message to professional women over 30 experiencing gut health who want to improve to feel energised and productive each day. Their transformation is possible to live their purpose.
Getting clarity on my message and who i help. Tuggling with niche, sleep and gut health as both impacts each other so which to use for marketing. build clarity and more confidence to go to marketing for more success. Helped me to reflect on my personal journey and what i have achieved with my health to help others. The structure to include mission statement, future self, audience statement became clearer. What to offer as bonus but the make takeaway is the Chatterboxing! In a better position to sell product.
I would have liked to know and trial the Chatterboxing a bit earlier before planning out the course content but Marisa is the best i have come across in helping me with this.
I have been challenged with time management issues; however I will most assuredly slowly cross the finish line just like the determined runners from a Marathon that place last. Slow and steady, here comes the tortoise : ).
I am graduated! I was stuck for a long time. Thanks Marisa for the motivating training: “better done than perfect!”, and the info on the actions of fear I could recognize them! Thanks Carolyn who has been very supportive and available. I have learn a lot and done a lot. I am on the way to success.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
My biggest takeaway is the process.
How did EPM help you become successful?
The deadline, the information on the consequences of fear, and all the tools to know what to do help me to understand more what I have to do, and to do it.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I have more confidence.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I am more visible.
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
Now I can follow the step by step process to grow my business.
I was having the challenge of literally opening my mouth and talking to people outside the comfort zone of my family and friends! I knew I wanted to share what I have learned through trial and error to help other women but I wasn't sure how to go about creating something that would help them. I sincerely believe I was divinely guided to Marisa and I joined her Experience Product Masterclass! :-) I learned sooooo much from this program! ...how to get my content out of my head and organized and create an engaging program! ...how to make the mind shifts necessary to literally get outside of my shell and share what I have to offer with enthusiasm and confidence and so much more! And you know what it worked! I made my first sale and I know (to quote Marisa) its "Onwards and Upwards" from here! :-)
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The fact that I actually now have a business!
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
EPM has given me the confidence to know that even in times like this (COVID19) I will be more than alright by helping others (which is the best part of it all)!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That with a great plan comes great clarity and with great clarity comes great success!
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
My world has literally opened up! My dreams and desires for my family will be realized!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Marisa is a multi-faceted Godsend! She really sees you! She meets you right where you are whether that is confused, excited, afraid, lost, already excelling or any of the other million places along the path... and she takes you to the next level and beyond!!! Marisa actually personally took the time to talk to me on a free webinar that she gave (The Dopamine Effect)! She saw "me"! Believed in 'me'! and I began to believe in myself! I knew at that moment that I would find a way to be right here in this Amazing EPM Masterclass! ...And here I am! Graduating!!! Thank You Marisa! Miracles & Blessings to you Marisa! Muah! :-)
When I found this program, I naively believed I could replicate T Harv Eker and Egen Pagen's online digital programs. After I started the course, I realized I was deluding myself because I had not really been clear about how my new program would fit into my Master life plan. My goal is to transition out of my current job working 40-50 hours a week to working anywhere in the world working 40 hours a month. My big ah ah was looking for greener grass somewhere else when I realized grass is green where you water and fertilize the grass you are standing on. I went from planning to sell to many to sell to one, my existing network of business education providers. Chatter boxing forced me to 'package' my MVP into something that my network of 160 people could sell for me. So, my one-to-one sales presentation started with my own network leadership. I know now that if they buy, which I know they will this year, I can package my product and market to other existing networks around the United States.
Your GRADUATION Story
"I worked in human services for decades, as an Equal Employment Opportunity Investigator and trainer, social worker, psychologist, and neuropsychologist. I am a certified yoga teacher and T’ai Chi Chih instructor and continue to teach TCC. Upon retirement a couple of years ago, having more time to process the news, I became concerned that increasing violence to humans, other creatures, and the earth was a tragedy that needed to be addressed. Somehow I began to write “teaching tales” that I hoped to include in a book about the importance of helping young children develop personal values and close personal relationships with positive role models.
Along came the opportunity to digest Marissa’s free offerings online about ways to engage people in online classes and I was amazed at her genius, and ability to share it convincingly and professionally. That got me thinking about how interesting my idea would be for parents and young children in a gamified format and that hooked me on enrolling in the MVP class.
The class has challenged me beyond belief! I have always set goals and met them with some effort but without the clear fits and starts I’ve experienced with MVP. I have learned a lot about very unfamiliar territory and just as I’ve surrendered in dismay at my ignorance, sure enough Coach Carolyn has given me a thumbs up for something, stimulating me to take a few more steps forwards. The idea of accepting less than perfection, but the insistence on writing and planning for an extremely specific audience or microniche has been fascinating.
While finishing the program and the written process, along with having a clear plan of what I would like to cover in my class “Great Mom Talks”- A Roadmap for Having Important Conversations with Your Little One,” I am still struggling with the Chatterboxing. I see the value, but find that is not my skill, and I worry that I have worked and will have little impact on the audience I wish to assist. As in the very recent past, however, I will continue taking one step forward at a time and see what happens next.
"
What's been the biggest change in your business?
I'm just starting this so developing the idea and beginning to market it
How's EPM and your success impacted your life?
I have learned a lot about developing a product idea and marketing very specifically to a Microniche
What's your biggest takeaway from EPM?
to be very clear about your target audience and to try to speak their language
"Experiencify and EPM was exactly what I've been looking for. As an organizational development consultant, I knew that the shift to on-line learning was gaining traction, but I didn't want to offer the ""same ol, lame ol"" online psuedo learning. I needed a way to have people get excited about learning the concepts that will help them, in this instance, to positively resolve conflict and use it as positive transformational change. I was frustrated by platforms that offered the bells and whistles but left me stranded in determining best practices to get the product from concept (and I didn't even realize HOW MUCH I didn't know about concept until I participated in EPM) to employee completion. Everyone else made this look so easy and promised the moon. But my attempts always fell short - I would get frustrated and end up not completing the course.
That is, until I found EPM and Marisa Murgatroyd's genius. The sheer amount of expertise and support that is included in this program is staggering. EPM is unlike anything I've ever experienced before, and it is the ONLY program that I've completed and been motivated to sustain my own growth and learning - the program itself models the way for the programs that I can implement for my corporate clients.
There is absolutely no reason for a person not to complete this course. This entire team sets you up for SUCCESS. Coaching with your dedicated coach, information on technology and marketing, weekly webinars with Marisa offering hot seats for your burning questions, guest webinars to uplevel your skills, and if you find yourself stuck and not performing your milestones, you get a warm email that says ""hey, haven't seen you log in for a bit - what can we do to help you?"".
I've wanted to offer a layered approach to corporate clients for continuity of concept learning, active implementation throughout the organization and a way for the organization to ""speak the same language"" in recognizing personality types and communication styles for leadership business essential skills courses. Face to face learning for leadership is often possible, but when there are hundreds of frontline employees, face to face can be costly and time consuming. My concept - take the leadership through the 2 day face to face POSITIVE Approach to Conflict Resolution and then provide an active, affordable method for employees to benefit from and practice the key concepts and actionable items necessary for success. As an added benefit, if an organization hesitates to send their leadership to the 2 day, face to face seminar, I now have the added advantage of the online offering that can serve as the catalyst for leaders experiencing what their employees will and generating the enthusiasm and motivation to enroll employees.
My result is a much better program concept than I could have ever completed on my own. Between the coaching from my coach, the support and encouragement from my pod group members, the success format and so much more - I feel confident that I will be able to fulfill my mantra, ""I am irrationally passionate about people living a positive, powerful life - free from conflict and full of peace."" Honestly, this dream has been swirling for so long in my mind. And finally, I found the amazing genius of a woman in Marisa Murgatroyd who has designed a program that offers things that I didn't even know I needed.
I jokingly told Marisa one time that I had stalked her for two years. I would watch her videos, attend some of the webinars or multiple day programs she offers but always had something that would prevent me from taking on the program full time. They say that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. In retrospect, I wish the student had been ready before but I know that everything is perfect in its own time. This is 100% the best investment I've ever made in a program. With that being said, let me recommend that you seriously consider being ready the first time you encounter an opportunity to learn and grow from and with Marisa and her team. I promise you, it will be life-changing."
