I had a second article published in Mike Dooley’s TUT magazine.
And a third article got published last week in Positively Positive.
I launched my first Law of Attraction Game Book on Amazon, which is a playful eBook game on Love.
I decided to offer my EPM Love Game as eBooks for each Level and am working on that too.
I just launched a live game on self-confidence in my FB group. This game goes along with daily use of one of my Enchanted Meditations. I had this amazing fun idea to launch that as a different series of eBooks called The Law of Attraction Enchanted Game Book series. I’m working on that right now.
I’m launching a mini online course on Lakshmi, the Vedic Goddess of Wealth and Beauty. I’m in the middle of preparing it right now.
Your Mission Accomplished Story
I enrolled in this class because I wanted to move beyond the limitations of working 1:1 with clients. I was a bit gun-shy because I chose to focus on my brand-new business (astrology) as opposed to the work I've been doing for decades in sound and energy healing.
Hearing in the first week that the Personal Development niche is one of the hardest to market, I felt discouraged, but I soon found several kindred spirits in our online community, and we were able to help each other identify the tangible and intangible benefits of our respective fields of expertise.
I'm not intimidated by technology, but I didn't have the time, due to prior commitments, to try a fancy online program launch. I chose ""Chatterbox"" marketing -- basically, just talking with people -- and discovered that they were eager and excited to follow me into this new area of personal and spiritual growth work. In almost no time I had met and surpassed my minimum income goal.
And, as Marisa says, when you've done it once, you can do it again and again and again... I look forward to learning from this beta test group and to refining and improving my program for future offerings. My confidence is soaring, and I feel unstoppable.
Thanks so much to Marisa and all the wonderful Live Your Message mentors and staff. Many thanks, too, for the loving support from my fellow EPMers. You guys rock!

Your Graduation Story
I felt like I was pregnant with a product vision that started in 2007 and I just did not know how to create. I put it in the back burner for a decade, but got the itch to launch and create it the fall of 2016. I registered for a leading launch masterclass, attended events, tried different things, bought other courses, participated in challenges, led Launch Masterminds for beginners, led a quick launch challenge, started a podcast .. and despite all these efforts to try to find my niche but was just still very lost.
EPM allowed me the opportunity to get a sonogram for what I had inside all this years, and helped me hear the heartbeat and see the profile of my ""baby"".. I am more excited now than ever before that I can trust the process and myself to create and deliver a product that my tribe will love and be transformed by. It has been a very challenging and refining journey... like gold refined with heat..
Thank you for helping me break free from obscurity and finding a creative discipline to get out of me all I had inside into framework I could use. There was a level of shame and disappointment for not being able to do for myself (as a process and image consultant) what I could help others do. As a Artist & Designer that was so business-minded and Process oriented, It has been exhilarating to experience see both of these disciplined merged together in a genius way. I always thought there had to be a better and more effective way.
Thank you Marisa for modeling it for the rest of us. For rescuing us from drowning in the disillusionment of not seeing our dreams and ideals play out... Although I did not hit Mission Accomplished in 10 weeks, and I am disappointed about that, I did graduate and feel so ACCOMPLISHED of all I have done and feel supported that my dreams are possible in the higher standard of customer experience that I always dreamed of.
I can now get excited about creating a place for this ""baby"" to be born and the tools and gear I need to see it grow and thrive. I couldn't commit to any email marketing providers because I knew I did not have the confidence and understanding I needed to create meaningful emails. But I now feel empowered and inspired to start crafting emails! Thanks again for EPM. <3
See you at M2M in LA!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
I can do this! And it in a way I feel proud of... I can create a tribe that I love and loves me and create an awesome transformational experience.
How did EPM help you become successful?
After many years away from my career I felt like I'd lost my voice.. EPM helped me gain my voice back, gave me a framework to reconstruct my vision and reignite my passion for what I am here to do to make a positive impact and live my best legacy through serving faith-based leaders.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I have gained so much confidence back! My success has been internal and mostly private at this point, but I know the momentum does not stop here. This is just the beginning!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Clarity! I finally feel closer to a niche that I can get excited about creating for and serving!
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
After over 3 years trying to learn how to launch, market and create information products but lacking the confidence I could create the type of product I wanted, I finally have the framework for creating an experience product I feel good about from my both my creative right brain and logical left brain. Thank you Marisa, Murray, Don, Jordan Coach Domonique and EPM Team!
Before I started EPM, I was trying for over 1.5 years to start my coaching business. I took different online classes and private coaching to make this dream come true. Although I knew my ideal client, my niche and what I wanted to do, I was not getting any clients nor did I have the feeling of having a coaching business. For over two years I was trying to set up a website I loved, and in total, I spent thousands of dollars with only little results. I did a few talks and had a tiny email list.
When the offer of EPM came along, I had a feeling that this would get me really started, and it did! A couple of days ago I signed up my very first client, I now have strategies in place to reach potential clients, I have a beautiful website I'm proud of, and the best of all: I feel that I now have a coaching business! I have started! I took the Experience Program Masterclass, worked it step by step, followed Marisa's advice, and within 10 weeks I could start my business! I'm so happy I took the leap and signed up for this Masterclass! Thank you so much, Marisa, and everyone from liveyourmessage.com for all your support and wisdom you've shared with me!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
My biggest take away is, that I CAN start an online business! It is possible with the right support and structure!
How did EPM help you become successful?
I had no client and a very tiny list before I started EPM. EPM did help me starting my business at all. With the great structural method, I had a simple plan to follow, step by step, to create a product, do the marketing and start launching it! I've tried for the last 2 years to get to this point. With EPM I did know exactly which step to take next, getting me from "zero" to now have launched my business!
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
So far I'm still waiting for the success (I've got only one client today, but I know this is just the beginning!). I'm feeling encouraged to keep going and looking to my future with excitement and happiness.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
That I feel I now have a business at all! Before it was just a wish, a dream. Now I feel that I am a real entrepreneur with a coaching business!
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I am most excited to know that my clients will really get great results, that I have created a program that can make a difference! And this is wonderful! As a medical doctor I can only tell my patients what to do, but now I can guide them through an experience, which will lead to much more substantial changes in my clients' lives, than only passing on information!
Your Mission Accomplished Story
In mid September 1967, literally the night before I boarded a plane to the Vietnam War. I was called by a loving Universe to be something I could not have remotely imagined myself to be.
Prior to that night my life trajectory was being a US Army Officer and Civil Engineer with a degree from the University of Washington.
Since then I've been given many messages and guidance that have no basis in the ""normal"" time and space dimension. Messages coming virtually immediately after desperate prayers in time of great need to chance meetings with powerful messengers exactly when I needed that specific message.
I've always been searching for the deep meaning of those messages and have voraciously consumed numerous training from NLP with Bandler and Grinder to Hypnosis and Metaphors to several Peak Potential programs, Open Focus Brain Synchronization.. My journey included immersion in est, Landmark, Peak Potential, Christine Kloser's Informational Author's Experience, Strategic Intervention (a Tony Robbins program) to name a few.
I became a sought after trainer of the Silva Method which trains people of all ages, backgrounds and beliefs to the reality of mind to mind communication.
Interestingly, while Silva under its own name has a world-wide footprint via its own organization it is not a name most would recognize. Jose Silva, the founder and creator was not a marketer or brand expert. In actual fact he never attended school and was self-taught. He lived in Laredo, Texas and barely spoke English. It took 20 years for his method to move from in and around Laredo to his first class outside of Laredo and environs in Amarillo, Texas in 1967. Talk about ""coincidence"" that was the year my life transformed.
At the same time its amazing method is easily recognized throughout through its technology being used in est, Landmark, Actualization, and a host of other training courses.
Silva changed the world via the ripples in the proverbial pond.
My giant cardiac event - open heart surgery, triple bypass and aortic arch reconstruction was the MOST loving experience I've ever had.
I've always known the world was filled with love as a belief. Before this event I simply did not GET IT. I have been surrounded by so many people both in and out of the medical profession since the end of May, 2019 who bring profound joy to caring for Me when I could not even wipe my own butt.
During many weeks living in pure survival barely able to go the bathroom by myself always fatigued and short of breath with a lung that was near collapse I knew, just knew that this experience was temporary and would become the bedrock for a profoundly different life.
The support of EPM and LYM have been truly a blessing.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Metaphorically, EPM is like throwing a pebble into a quite pond and watching the ripples spread out into the world. I will be a rock thrown into that pond birthed in one of EPM and LYM ripples.
How did EPM help you become successful?
The completely amazing tools provided. So many and so well designed. It's all mouth watering to realize what EPM and LYM has given us all.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Gave me a cornucopia of tools with which to create.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Abandoning completely from accounting and business consulting based in numbers and contracts into what I was called to do in September 1967.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
That love, the pure joy filling me to overflowing. I LIVE to share it with any and all. I vibrate with excitement like a child waiting to meet a brand new puppy.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I am filled with love for all of you.
Your Graduation Story
Overall I am very happy with my EPM accomplishments. My primary goal of embracing my major focus (work as play) is 90% accomplished. Just some testing remains! My secondary goal of using the Internet for Marketing and Virtual Delivery went from a self-evaluated 45% in October, to 85% on January 31 completion which is a HUGE increase. Especially considering I had some unplanned major time conflicts and I had to embrace and overcome some very well hidden personal self-sabotage programming. Don Crowther was excellent as my Wednesday group coach, and I thank him for continuing to challenge me in a strong and gentle manner; and for sharing his wisdom with the coaching group and on Tech Friday. Marisa was great on helping with my product naming in such a short time (3 minutes). Thank you both, and everyone else on the EPM team. With much respect, Charles Matthew.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Embracing my major focus and being okay to "brag" about my talents and results.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Uncovering some deeply hidden self-sabotage programming within me.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Much more at peace within, though I am getting very busy doing what I love doing!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
That I am embracing my major focus (being the tools of Spirit onto Earth to improve the quality of life now).
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Knowing that I have been on the right path, having just taken some very long detours over the last ten years to get my personal teachings and learnings.
After being a parenting coach for a while, I really wanted to reach more people, and make what I was doing a full-time livelihood. I started to write an online course, but I got discouraged and overwhelmed. There was so much to do. I felt alone. I lost faith in myself as my doubts took over. In the EPM course, Marisa breaks down the steps to making a course work, so that it's clear what you need to work on when. Her emphasis on "iterating your way to awesome" gave me permission to be imperfect, but to get the bones of the course down and done. I also loved that she talked about what it was like to be afraid, to be vulnerable, and to need to push through those voices of doubt. I'm not done with my course yet, but I am confident that I WILL finish. And, even if it's not perfect the first time, I will keep iterating my way to awesome. Thank you, Marisa!
Your Graduation Story
I found the EPM program content and coaching to be amazing. Marisa and Matthew provided extremely valuable strategies, recommendations and guidance over the 10-weeks. Although, I did not reach Mission Accomplish, the information I learned will definitely be applied. I wasn't prepared for the amount of content to be completed within the time frame but I know it is possible for others to rise to the occasion. Once I do reach Mission Accomplished I will make sure everyone knows how I got there. Thanks Marisa and Matthew!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Add experience based features to your products to make clients want to buy more from you. Do deliver plain boring content.
How did EPM help you become successful?

How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
That will be determined after launching at a later date but I believe it will totally increase our sales and client retention.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Choose an online course platform that will allow us to implement more experience and interactive with our clients.

Your Mission Accomplished Story
I was really stuck with my business, I'd lost my enthusiasm and belief that I could even bring in new coaching clients even though I've been doing just that since 2009. My overall attitude as very heavy towards my email list, my prospects, and my marketing.
I almost felt like quitting, but I couldn't. I wasn’t sure what to do to get my mojo back. I saw the sales page for Marisa's EPM Masterclass, I watched only a snippet of one of the videos, and I felt like I Had to Do Something, otherwise ... well, I was really really stuck. I joined EPM because I liked the science of addiction that can be used in a positive way to motivate a client or customer to action, to get the results they want.
I decided after joining that I'd do the exercises to see if my mojo might come back and I can say it did, even without doing the EPM exercises perfectly. My goal was to create a brand new coaching course (The Motivation Method with JoLynn) and launch that, which I was doing in 3 stages.
I completed the first stage and then had the Aha moment that I'd Already Reached Mission Accomplished shortly after EPM started But I Hadn't Realized It. I thought that MA could only come from a new offer. What I got out of EPM was a revitalization in my business The Inner Self Diet, three new weight loss coaching clients (in The Inner Self Diet), and one of those coaching clients signed up for one-on-one coaching with me on the last day we could count for Mission Accomplished (Feb 3 2020).
I'm super excited about relaunching an online course I had conveniently forgotten about (31 Days of Loving Yourself Thin) because I had also lost enthusiasm for that but also lost belief that anyone would want it. So this whole problem of losing enthusiasm... it's been tied into ""no one wants what I offer"" as well.
I see great value in using Experiencify going forward, how my clients and customers will benefit from the built-in motivation ""zing"" and I'm grateful to Ed Dale for sending the email out about EPM because in the end, it was that one email that got me over to Marisa and Murray, and helped me to revitalize my business and move forward again to build an empire of products, coaching offers, and solutions so that women around the world and truly love themselves and lose weight from the inside out, to fully feel good in their own skin.
I believe that every person can make a difference if they can reconnect to their core which IS the energy of love. (thanks, this last bit just came to me now as I'm typing, this is what I do though! I like the way I described it now.
Weight loss is the by-product, but it's the doorway they come through, because that's the result they want. The way to get it and have it last is to do it from the inside out). Thank you Marisa, Murray, and Coach Debra, and I hope you get a beautiful Pom if you are ready to bring one in Marisa and Murray. I'd love to see videos and pics of you and your Pom (s) in the future. ?
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Everything can turn around if you just **don't give up**
How did EPM help you become successful?
By helping me to get excited about my business again. I even get excited about new software, and Xp is something I'm excited to keep working with.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I enjoyed the 2019 holiday season and I haven't enjoyed a holiday season in a long time.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Getting clients and letting go of the deep dark funk I got into in October 2018.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I'm mainly excited about building out my whole business. I REALLY want to get my audio products launched. That is the lowest bar entry point to my work. I can see a simple sale of 25.00 for a guided meditation meaning so much more: they have a credit card, they are going to Experience my work (as long as they use it), I can put them into an email sequence to encourage them to use it, with the offer for a weight loss discovery session, I can offer an upsell to join my 39.00 a month membership which I'll put on Xp, and in that I'll use rewards, and I want to launch my Inner Circle membership on Xp as well - 297.00 a month for a whole bunch of benefits, which will be the lowest price point for coaching with me.
I see how everything can fit together, including The Inner Self Diet (which I'll probably flesh out/simplify, while still charging high ticket), The Motivation Method, and 31 Days of Loving Yourself Thin. I want to get webinars going, which I've done before but very sparsely. I want these running evergreen, and to get to the point where the main leads for coaching come from the entry point sale of an audio, either a guided meditation, self-hypnosis, subliminal, or daytime affirmations. Basically, I am eliminating all excuses by offering different levels of help and solutions, and I want to get out of the stressful place of ""I've gotta get another coaching client"" by setting up these baseline offers and sales that can support me monthly.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I don't know HOW I'm going to get all of this stuff done by myself, but I'm not going to focus on that right now. I'm going to stay focused on the vision because as long as I keep bringing in new coaching clients then I can hire some help, even if that's gig help here and there on Fiverr.
I""m looking forward to the remaining 4 calls on Wednesday too. I just realized that those are at 2pm EST, I scheduled my one-on-one's with my client as of today at 1:30pm EST on two of those Wednesdays. I might see about changing those to 1pm EST, if that works for her.
Thank you Marisa and Murray, Coach Debra and Jhaymie!
