I knew almost nothing about marketing when I began the program. I am now in the process of launching my marketing campaign building a brand new website and have a logo for my company and a very good idea of what it will take to be successful
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Perfection is the enemy of accomplishment. Start small make mistakes and iterate to awesome
How did EPM help you become successful?
More than anything else it helped create a very positive mindset and kept me focused with my eyes always forward. Reminded my of my old adage that failure is only a stepping stone on the path to success.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I have a more positive expectation for my business, renewed confidence in my ability and knowledge and a path forward to achieve that which I desire
What has been the biggest change in your business?
My mindset. I am confident that I can and will be successful and certain that I have everything that I need to grow a meaningful rewarding 7 figure business.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Currently looking forward to securing my first of many paying customers and delivering the goods. I am stoked to coach and really excited to witness the successes that I can help drive in other small businesses.
Woohoo! Really feel like I'm almost there with my preambule/mission statement/future self vision!! I hope a lot of you are also feeling less despair and more clarity, wow that was a very intense process (and as Marisa said yesterday, the most important part and totally normal that it takes many tries and tribulations!). Would love comments from ths who resonate with the message (I know my program is pretty specific to 'spiritual new age ish' micro niche...
The world is undergoing a massive mid-life crisis, and it is literally ripping us apart. Most cope by distracting themselves with sensory overload and shallow connections, numbing their pain with all sorts of addictions. But a special few are not willing to live a superficial life, following society’s madness and letting the world define their purpose here on earth. How about you? Are you done letting the world manipulate you, tell you what to do, how to be and what you’re worth? Are you ready to do more, feel more and be more?
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to spend 5 weeks with me mastering powerful shamanic energy tools and inner journeys that will give you the skills and insights you need to deeply reconnect to your Soul and reveal the unique and profound meaning and purpose of your existence, so you can discover the true power and build a life worth living and remembering.
Name : Reclaim your Soul ? Unleash your Purpose
I just gotta say, one more time, how much I appreciate everything you've taught us Marisa Murgatroyd. I AM a raving fan! For example, just the idea of the swipe file is so awesome! I've been a photographer my whole life so writing ALL THE TIME is a very strange experience. The swipe file know how has really saved me and I'm starting to think I'm good at writing. A big improvement from thinking I was a HORRIBLE writer! Even if I'm swiping, I'm at least getting good at that. And when I adapt it to my message, it doesn't seem so swipie. Ha! Four days left of marketing for me and I'm starting to love that too. Who knew? Much gratitude to the tribe and Coach Rono.

Your Graduation Story
With my background in circus, improvisation, and storytelling, I've always tried to make my coaching and business practices playful, experiential, and highly engaged. I trained in Lean Startup, and later joined Ed Dale's mentorship in applying this experimental, iterative approach with a light, fun attitude.
So I was a perfect fit for Marisa's approach. I joined EPM at the moment that I was going to start doing customer interviews and testing my market, so I felt I was about a month away from really knowing my market and validating my course idea. I wanted the momentum and implementation of EPM, but ideally starting a month later!
However I plunged in because I was fairly sure I had a good course idea, and enjoyed the sense of progress. I was hoping I could run my customer interviews in parallel with doing EPM, to get full clarity and validation of my plans, but EPM was just too intense. I was surprised at the sheer length of all the trainings, and they took a lot of my time just to work through.
I was really pleased that a lot of the worksheets were much better paced than other business development training I've tried to follow. The practical and psychological stages were well thought out and didn't leave me stuck or bogged down. And the group coaching gave me some much-needed confirmation of where I was on the right track.
In the end I hit a patch of poor health for the whole of January, which was highly frustrating as I saw my deadlines slipping away. I had high hopes before that, that I would be swept along on the group momentum to actually launch on-time - something that I've never come close to. But I had already got close enough to launching my marketing campaign that it all felt real and imminent, and most of my key preparations and decisions were all organised and ready to use. So I was able to keep my motivation going, and resume once my energy returned.
I now have a clear plan and all the pieces I need, and feel I can reach out to the world and conduct an enormously fun experiment that will attract all the right people. I'm confident that out of that will burst a blossoming business - even if I have to adjust and experiment a little more in the coming months.
So, thank you Marisa for being a light-hearted, confidence-giving, motivating mentor! You've lit my way and pulled me along delightfully. Put the kettle on - I'll be there shortly.
PS. Unfortunately that won't be at Message to Money - no money yet to travel to the USA. I'm sure it will be fun, but I probably need to stay focused on the immediate results rather than doing more planning yet!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
I've always taught in a highly experiential and playful way, and used the power of storytelling. But EPM has shown me how to integrate my key methods into a coherent and proven approach that uses them across every aspect of marketing, communication, and delivery.
How did EPM help you become successful?
It was a whole business incubator with a group momentum, so I could feel urgency over a long enough period to get things done, with it still feeling fun and doable.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I've broken through a tendency to plan, reflect on, and balloon my ideas into endless planning stages, and I've managed to commit to key decisions about the Milestones etc. EPM has got me far closer to launching than I have in years of wanting to. I'm now confident that I will do a pilot launch in the next month or so, and that I'll be able to iterate to a profitable and fulfilling business very soon.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I haven't launched yet, so the changes are all in hitting practical stages of thorough preparedness and getting close enough to launching that I'm still motivated to push ahead to a deadline.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Finally getting a lucrative and satisfying business that will use my talents to the full and spread my impact, while living out my values of playfully doing business human-to-human.
Hi, just a woo woo moment for me... I got quoted in an NBC news article on how bosses can avoid being resented by their team. In case you have time here's the link!
Your Mission Accomplished Story
I hit Mission Accomplished with a teeny snippet of what I learned in the course, but have yet to fully launch my actual experience product, hence the LAME NAME.
I had been running courses for about 6 months and was really bothered by the drop off in engagement. Hard core learners stayed on but everyone else vanished into thin air. It made me question whether I even ought to be teaching others.
I knew EPM was exactly the game changer I needed when I watched the videos during the launch, and was subsequently FLOORED by all the things I didn't know that I didn't know!
I have run a quick and easy crash course 3x with a minimum of the info from EPM, and am so excited to run my actual BIG EPM product in just a few weeks time.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That keeping the students engaged is the most importnat thing.
How did EPM help you become successful?
I have so much confidence about creating and delivering a course now!
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
So far not much of an impact a I've only launched a small course but I'm confident in the potential.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Getting people aware of what I do
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Getting the chance to help people bring their kids books into the world
Is there anything else you would like to add?
This was hands down the best course I've taken, and I've taken a LOT. Worth every penny.
Your Graduation Story
We had a powerful message of health and wellness and we wanted to develop an online course to bring it to the people all over the world. We enrolled in other programs to help us build the online course but we were not able to make any progress. We are very fortunate that we came across Marissa's video and her message really stuck with us. We noticed that she has helped thousands of entrepreneurs to build experiential programs.
We enrolled in the EPM and the journey has been phenomenal. We are quite amazed with what we have been able to accomplish so far, from developing the mission, the modules of the course and the customer journey from mission impossible to making it mission possible. Marissa and the coaches made the whole program fun and engaging. Our coach, Debra was absolutely outstanding. We were able to progress towards mission accomplished because of the wonderful resources you had in place to normalize our challenges. Being part of EPM Elite, having access to coach Debra, copywriting sessions and 2 days personal time with Marisa helped us take our work from ground zero to almost selling the product. We have not met target goal but we are quite confident that we will be able to do that once we launch the course. We are also excited about joining Next Level Mentorship Program to continue to work on our projects and take our message to millions. We feel blessed for the opportunity to be part of EPM tribe. Thank you Marissa for everything you do. Many thanks to Coach Debra and the entire EPM team.
Wanted to share that when I was introducing myself to a few LinkedIn groups, I got an invitation to be a guest speaker on a national podcast for inventors!! Woot!!
I appreciate Marisa for the mighty lessons she gives daily on being our own Super-Hero, to reach for more than how our limiting beliefs have been obstacles in the past holding us back, and encouragement to step up and level up.
