I was having trouble carving out the time and holding myself accountable for launching a coaching offer. The biggest road block was that I thought I had to have the offer totally figured out before launching. I joined EPM and realized I didn't have to have it all figured out, that I could launch a minimal viable product. I worked through the modules and launched my MVP product by the end of the program.
Your GRADUATION Story
I was having trouble creating a course that would keep people engaged. I wasn't sure how I needed to change them. I joined EPM and discovered a step by step process giving me not only clarity but encouragement and I created this powerhouse of a course that I'm excited to launch.
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
I was having trouble getting clear on creating an epic course. I wasn't sure what to do to break it down into meaningful, bite sized pieces. But EPM with the help of Anslee AI made it so easy and effective.
Your PROVED MY IDEA Story
I was having problems getting clear on my story. I wasn't sure what to focus on. I joined EPM and was able to get clarity. I created this awesome program and look forward to launching it in the near future.
Your MADE A WHOLE LOT MORE Story
I was hesitant to use my story, I wasn't sure what if others out there would be receptive to it. I joined EPM and realized that it was my story that would powerfully resonate with those who could identify with it. I look forward to launching and letting it touch and transform lives.
I got sidelined at Christmas due to a major family crisis and finding it difficult to get back on track, but I'm slowly getting there. I loved the step by step process and the help of Anslee AI. Often it felt like overwhelm but I'm glad I did what I did, with what I had. Never, ever, give up and if you get knocked down by life's circumstances that derails you from the course, pick yourself up and get back in there. It doesn't matter if you don't finish the race with others, but it is important that you finish the race at some point to the best of your ability. The launching of my course.
Just want to say thankyou. The course was more than value packed. You over delivered and I'm grateful for what you gave.
Your GRADUATION Story
I was disturbed by how much fear I saw out on social media regarding AI, so I thought about how to improve this situation. I joined EPM and began working up a seven-week series on how people could adapt and thrive rather than fearing replacement by AI in work and other human activities. I have studied AI and psychology, and will be using this to share techniques that will allow students to achieve greater pleasure, victory, health, wealth, power, skill, and wisdom in the face of artificial intelligence and other technological disruptions.
My business has transformed from a vague notion to a systematic, manifesting reality! I have a new hope for life in general, because I'm learning how to share worthwhile information for excellent compensation. Transforming from an employee or unemployed is not only possible, but it can be transformative with the right ideas. Dixonisms, my solopreneur to whatever scale entrepreneurial experiment is now possible!
Approaching this workshop was frustrating. 2020 meant taking three successful face to face workshops and giving the participants better value online. The participants are folks struggling through probation and at risk families. Bad internet, short attention spans, low personal esteem, and more challenge the concept. Anger workshop has been a defiant monster that just would not come together for me. Prior success was working in our Life Skills/CBT THINK! Rider on the Elephant. Parenting was okay. Anger was high center. So I enrolled in EPM to see if it could get me through.
We did it! I am building the workshop week by week and started with 6 participants. The potential is huge. By going through this beta with this group and one more round with an alpha group, I expect to be able to build a fully mentored but automated approach for thousands. Right now, we do a weekly zoom with the participants doing another 1.5 hours of work online during the week. The sessions are broken into short video, workshop, reading, and more to keep the motion and allow for start and stops to match the chaotic lives.
Principles applied from EPM are effective and allowing us to deliver the life changing content.
Every week someone is healing a broken relationship or resolving some inner angst or settling in at work and family. Some even are getting their children restored to the home. Money is not my big deal here. But money keeps us in motion. Life change. A chance at a better life forward. Thanks.
I have had this idea in my head for years and I know it would be incredibly helpful for families dealing with the chaos of ADHD. I decided that I should try to get a program together so I started searching for trainings that were supposed to get me to this goal. I'm not sure how I did it because I am not a person who has money to spare, but I ended up spending thousands of dollars on other programs. Those programs were not helpful, assumed I had a high level of computer skills and none of them did anything for me and I still had no idea how to create a course and make it successful. . However, Marisa's program has lead me to my goals. I have designed a program that I know will be successful! I have learned how to market it properly and how to maintain personal contact with those who enroll. Marisa's program has helped me step by step to create a course, which none of the other trainings have done. I am proud of what I have accomplished and I now have an online course that I know will help hundreds, if not thousand, of families across the country. This training has brought me to where I know I will reach my personal goals of helping hundreds of families, making enough money to get off disability and support myself, and giving the type of retirement that my partner has always dreamed of. I am forever grateful for Marisa's program. She is the best at teaching trainings that will help you to succeed.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
It does not have to be perfect to put it out there to your audience.
How did EPM help you become successful?
I had a personal coach. None of the other trainings I have taken provided such help. Three times a week we had trainings and Q & A sessions that were priceless.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I have a course and I am proud of what I have accomplished. I have had an incredible level of positivity that tells me I will reach my goals and oh, that feels fantastic!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The biggest change in my business is that I have a program to offer that I know will be successful in helping families who are dealing with the chaos of ADHD.
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I will make enough money to get off of disability, help hundreds, maybe thousands of families and give my partner the retirement he deserves.
I was struggled with getting a handle on marketing my content online. I joined EPM because the messaging on "experience" appealed to me as I desire to create valuable online courses. The method to the madness to share and connect with the right people was eye opening. I signed up to learn how to do marketing. Instead, I got an eye opening experience on how to attract the right customer all while building my online course with powerful content. The support and information shared by Marissa and her team is awesome.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
adjusting to an iterative mindset
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
accountability to stay on track with the process with an abundance of tools, knowledge sharing and support
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
create messaging that appeals to the specific needs of an audience that you want to attract for your product.
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I must look to the needs of others and determine if/whether/how my experience product can serve their needs.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
oh noooo, its fully robust as is. I don't consider myself to be slow; perhaps I get too bogged down in the details. which hampered my progress in the beginning; where I should've just kept going instead of pondering to deep learning something new. Based on that, I'd say there is way too much info for 12 weeks (at least for one who due to work commitments did not have full time to dedicate to the program
I led a grief program for many years, and the things I learned from that experience are invaluable. I saw how much the people that attended my programs were helped by understanding the enormity of grief and walking alongside others on the same journey. I am currently writing a book on comforting grievers, so I did not exactly want to take on another huge project, but Marisa's program seemed just what I needed to add some coaching alongside of the book. I didn't want to miss the opportunity. In early November I had a major full stop/pivot in my life when my second husband went on hospice for three weeks and then died of congestive heart failure. Not only was I stopped in my tracks by the major changes this involved, I was once again on the grief journey myself. I am relieved to have graduated. Launching will have to wait for now, but I am grateful for the course you have helped me create, and all the wonderful learning experiences I had along the way. I now see the value of learning as I go (action clarifies the journey___ iterate, iterate, iterate), I actually look forward to chatterboxing as I prepare to launch, and I am grateful I have access to these teaching for a lifetime. I look forward to joining the conference/workshop in March. Thank you Coach Paul, and Marisa for a wild and wonderful ride!

Marisa, I met you years ago online and your progress is what has inspired me to stay the course and become your client. God Bless you and Murray and your team today and always
"For years I've had a big problem telling people about what I do in my business. It always required further explanation to clarify the program and, so I thought, increase credibility. I think it created confusion and affected my sales. But I kept trying.
I've followed Marisa for a couple of years and this year decided to say 'yes'. So I joined EPM and, while I was a bit skeptical about doing what I did in 90 days, I jumped in anyway. Creating the mission possible statement was a game changer for me because it gave me clear, succinct language to use when talking about my experience product (or any product, for that matter). That may not sound like a big deal, but this is my 4th time joining a program trying to get my marketing messages clear and succinct so that I could confidently & briefly deliver them. This time I got what I came for...and so much more!
Toward the latter part of EPM, companies in my former industry, tech, started making major layoff announcement. I knew people were nervous and afraid, so I got a God idea to host a session for women being laid off in the tech industry that focused on taking care of themselves personally to prepare for a job search or whatever is next for them. I invited 2 other partners & put together the messaging for the event. The response was wonderful. Even long-term friends who had never said yes to anything, registered to attend. The EPM training has already helped to make a difference beyond my MVP product."
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
During chatterboxing, I ended up realizing that I needed to make a 15 degree pivot in my approach to product. At first this absolutely terrified me because I thought it would be so much work to start all over again. Once the panic subsided though I realized that I didn't have to throw out everything but just needed to go back to Ainslee and get some help with reframing my product. And, because this was the second time around for developing a product mission, future self vision and bird's eye view, it was so much easier this time. I had a better understanding of how to use Ainslee to generate and got so many great ideas for the languaging to use to frame my 15 degree pivot into a revamped product.
More clarity on how to design services that I can offer to clients. It's made me feel more excited while also, to be honest, utterly paralyzing me at times by pushing me to activate competencies that I don't really have (or they are latent if they are there). Nonetheless, being stretched by being an EPM student has helped me develop a lot of empathy for those who do have online businesses. I am amazed how some (like Marisa, Murray, Coach Ed, and others whom I have been introduced to by EPM) make it look so easy but it is truly incredibly hard work. #progressoverperfection I am a perfectionist at heart. I look for perfection in myself and others. But, EPM really challenged me to tarnish that veneer of perfection. Putting together an MVP that is not polished and perfect goes against my instinct. But I have persevered and followed Marisa's guidance. #perseveringoverperfectionism I can support educators with online professional development services that meet their and their schools' needs.
I hope that one day Marisa will carry out her grand vision to change global education (She mentioned this during one of her coaching sessions in EPM when coaching someone who was a visionary with lots of big ideas and struggling to hone in on a clear mission.) I think that school-age students (and educators) around the world could benefit greatly from her pedagogical approach. Schools could be turned upside down by her! If she ever wants to pursue that dream, please count me in! It's my dream too.
