Your GRADUATION Story
I was struggling with finding a way to break-free from the golden handcuffs and return to working more in alignment with my life's purpose. Once upon a time I was a Medical Massage Therapist that went to nursing school with the intention of expanding my scope of practice and doing what I am finally doing now. I graduated nursing school 13 years ago. A year after becoming licensed I was hit by a bus in a crosswalk had underwent six years of surgeries before really starting any full rehab measures. I felt fortunate when I was able to return to nursing as a job and thought I would be stuck "working for the man" because it would provide me a sense of financial security. That of course was a false narrative and something I had to work through emotionally. I had been wanting to build my business plan and model as a Holistic & Integrative Health Coach helping clients that were suffering with chronic pain. I knew I had the credibility both professionally and personally but was unsure of how to put my thoughts and ideas together into a solid model for success. The EPM program found me (not I found it) on the internet. The EPM program provided a step-by-step model to help me organize and build upon my thoughts and ideas. More surprisingly was how it challenged me in unexpected ways. I failed at chatterboxing because I got too in my head and became overwhelmed with fear that people would not be interested in hearing what I had to say. These negative thoughts became even more paralyzing when I was building out the outline for the modules and lessons. It took me a hot minute to overcome that and then I felt like I was in a race to the finish line just for graduation. The beauty of that experience was that I had an amazing coach (Lucas) who took time to empower me on how to identify my limiting belief and overcome that barrier so that I could be successful in completing my mvp plan. I haven't reached mission accomplished yet, but I will. This journey provided me so much more than I could have anticipated, and it is just the beginning. I am so excited to keep going and see where this thing goes. I am eternally grateful to Marissa, Murray, Lucas and everyone at Live Your Message. I cannot wait to go to Live Your Message Live and I bringing a friend. I long to find a way the expresses to all of you my true gratitude for everything. I also look forward to staying connected and engaged with all of you from here forward. Thank you for everything, truly and honestly. ~Audrey
The biggest change in my business is the foundation of my vision and first MVP. AND the fact that I am now chattering away and enjoying it more and more. have empowered my self worth and self confidence to share my voice and make a difference in the lives of those around me in my community. "Everything you want is on the other side of fear" I can launch my business, fulfill my life person and manifest my dreams.
It's just the tip of the iceberg. I feel I have so much more to learn and look forward to engaging in other programs. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
I was very wary about the content, and although we were encouraged to sell while create, I couldn't do it. By now, I've finished all the material, created slides for the first 2 modules and recorded the audio also. I will finish these 2 modules during the weekend. The other 3 will follow. There is a little booklet of aphrodisiac recipes I need to write and offer it to groups on Facebook. It will be the part of the course. I have done a welcome video however, I do not like it very much, so it will be re-recorded. Working on the introduction video too. I also need to create worksheets with the prepared questions to enhance their learning. By Monday am sellable.
I really am disappointed not hitting mission accomplished.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Professionalism and values
How did EPM help you become successful?
A lot happened and there was no time to go astray.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I revaluated my goals and reshuffled the cards.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I gained new perspective. I also learnt to value my work higher.
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
Hopefully a lot of students. Then create more masterclass, move country and writing more books.
I was teaching privately and wishing that I could increase my coaching and teaching online to begin to reach more people but unsure of the standard formats and ways to attract people willing to invest in higher priced courses and packages. I was stuck at a certain level knowing that I could be making more impact and more income as well but unsure how to bring it to the next level. I joined EPM and benefited immensely from the live weekly coaching in our small group coaching pods and with Marisa. It was so inspiring to watch each person step up and transform over the weeks. I jumped in and created a 6 week course and made back more than the investment in EPM. It was the challenge of the mission that made me want to take action! I just launched and already students are thrilled.
Before joining EPM, I'd been toying around with the idea of adding online programs to complement my 1:1 life coaching practice for a few years, yet was never able to find the right resources or guidance to take it any further.
A year ago, I tried putting a program together on my own, which rapidly went from an encouraging 10% initial sign-up to a 1% completion rate. A few months later I took another shot at it, only to be met with the sound of crickets.
When I found out about the Experience Product Masterclass and had an opportunity to hear Marisa speak about her approach, I knew that this was going to be something different. Something completely aligned with my intentions, values, and needs. And the moment when she mentioned her $2k guarantee, well, that was it - I was in like Flynn ????.
Long story short, EPM has consistently blown past all of my expectations faster than a speeding bullet. It has leapt tall buildings without batting an eyelash and, with the greatest of personal attention, taken me to results far exceeding my expectations.
Not only will I be kicking off my first experience product 14 days from now with a perfectly sized cohort of participants; I now have a clear and highly enjoyable working process for repeating this over and over - then growing it as and when I'm ready.
Thank-you yet again, Marisa Murgatroyd, Matthew Turton, Emily Fontes, Debra Milne, and eeeeeeeveryone else who's been so incredibly generous with their time, energy, and thoughtfulness - what a blast!

Last year, as I was reading one of many books that I own about the Enneagram, it occured to me that as much as I enjoy learning about all of the personality types, I would love to come up with a way for people to take what they learn about their personality types and actually apply the information so that it's helpful in their daily lives. Initially, I thought that creating a physical planner or journal was my path to success. As the pandemic wore on, and supply chain issues became the norm, I began rethinking my idea. One day I was watching YouTube, and a woman I follow began to talk about her experience with EPM; I was intrigued. I started to consider an online format for what I was hoping to achieve. After participating in LYM's 5-Day Profitable Product program, I was hooked. It was a big financial risk for me, but the money back guarantee was reassuring, as I knew that the amount would ensure high motivation on my part to complete the program. It took many hours of dedication to learning, watching modules, and chatterboxing, but I finally completed the program. I have an increased confidence level in my abilities to follow through, as well as even more excitement about the possibilities of further programs that I can create on an online platform.
I’ve been pondering my product for some time (a few years) which really means I have got nowhere with it until the Minimum Viable Product concept in the Experience Product Masterclass grounded me to a point where I can offer this product to those who can honestly benefit from it. I am a high fact finder and relish in details but when I investigated the features and benefits of Online Marketing for Creative Designers I found I was spending a great deal of time revising it, however I came to a realisation that I had developed clear and concise statements that made more sense to me than ever before. I learnt that the value of what I have to offer comes not only from the MVP framework but also from my skills and background. My main motivation is to help people and I am determined to see them succeed in completing my course with enthusiasm and to guide them in online marketing in their work. I have also developed a simple and very fruitful prospecting method that I will be integrating in my MVP. I plan to be in a position to help my family and those I see in need financially. I am coming out of retirement to become a useful and productive person doing what I enjoy and believe it is very worthwhile work.
Your GRADUATION Story
Well this has been quite a journey. I've finished the MVP track. It has empowered and guided me to finally get my course created!! The fellow students, personal coaching on Wednesdays, and weekly sessions on Monday and Friday were Amazing! The Module Sessions, worksheets, and transcripts are invaluable. I look forward to Modules 4 and 5 and Live Your Message Live in March!!
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
I was having a challenge getting my course created. I joined EPM and because of its highly focused nature of it, I was led to the point where I finally created my course and am bringing it to market. The concept of creating a Minimum Viable Product really made the difference. Marisa's insights and her ability to lead people down a logical progression of steps to reach a goal are true gifts!!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
THANK YOU to Marisa, her team, the coaches, and all my fellow EPMers!! See you at Live Your Message Live and Momentum!!
I knew I wanted to create an online course for non-native English speakers and since I was starting from scratch, I had a really long to-do list! I joined EPM since I liked the idea of a structured program to help me refine my product idea and then keep me on track to actually creating a finished product and finding customers. I set my intention to engage with all of the content and meetings. I achieved this and a lot more. I've gone from having an idea to having an almost completed course on a platform, with a website, and I've even spoken with potential customers. No paying customers yet, but I'm sure this will happen very soon!
Your GRADUATION Story
I was having a difficult time in other programs where I very much so felt that I was on my own and that I had paid a lot of money to chase other people to get the things that I needed or to ask questions. I felt that the goal post was always moving and I had no consistency with who I was speaking to or what information I was given. I was in a position to have to learn things that were not natural to me and didn't have access to people that could help me or if I did I only had 20 min of thier time. I had gone so far as to hire out someone else who could do things for me which was more frustrating because it made me question what I had spent so much money for and what I had to show for it....nada. I had been following Marisa for a while and with my built up frustration and my absolute determination to pivot....I took the leap of faith and signed up. I had gotten more out of the first module than I had gotten out of 60% of the previous coaching program. I had a direct access coach who really paid attention to me and provided me useable insight and feedback. There was accountablity and even then there were over 20 people in my cohort, over 200 people in a coaching day or over 1000 people in the entire program; I never felt like I was just a $ or a number. I felt seen and valued and that I had a place at the table that I was trying to get to. It was what really put the wind in my sail. I could finally see an actual program that I could teach and visualize the people that would be a part of that. There was finally a map that I could see for myself as well as my potential clients.
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
I knew that this was the next pivot in my career and I couldn't see the where it was supposed to take me. I had come in with a lack of clarity to what I wanted to coach or how I wanted to help people. I have always been a helper and coming from mental health; it was already second nature. Knowing what to build and how to do it was the struggle. I now have a specific program and can see the other potential programs that can be built in conjunction to one. Coaching became like legos...I had to start with the smallest piece in order to continue to build to see what the big thing can evolve to be.
The biggest change in my business is still yet to come. But it will be freedom. I will finally get my life back and feel that I am living my value to positively impact people's lives in meaningful ways each and every day. I am not in love with the idea of being in love...I am in love with the idea of people investing in the love that they want and deserve from themselves and their partners. It has given me the courage and confidence to shake the snowglobe and trust that I was intended to do great things. The proof was in taking the first step and never looking back with a mindset of "I guess I will see". It has also opened other doors for me that I am willing to take a step into which includes being on a realty TV show for entrapeneuers. Having the right coach really matters. Having someone really care about your outcome makes a big difference in how you move forward. I have the possiblity to really grow other courses and have time for myself. The most important part is that I can help more people at a time and that is what is built into my nature. I have a high value to education, communication, community, and positive impact. By the program I can pour more into those values cups which really just fills my love and life cup.
