I tried to sell this course for $197 to my list in September and only got 2 people to enroll and I cancelled it. I had no intention of taking ANOTHER course because I had just done Alina Vincent's 3 day program, and was still enrolled in a $7000 coaching program from Growth University/Brian Harris. I listened to some of your 3d webinar and the money back guarantee nailed it for me. I struggled the entire time with chatterboxing and still have so much more to learn, but I did a reverse webinar and perfect email campaign and got 6 of my current/recent 1:1 clients, plus one bought for a friend and the other is someone I did a validation interview with 2 years ago when taking Amy Porterfield's course! I actually created and delivered this course live in 2011 (via teleseminar) and am now rewriting/updating.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
I can do this, chatterbox
How did EPM help you become successful?
really so many different components and the way they came together. The facebook support, some connections in pod, Marisa's teachings of course, but most of all is the mental mindset shift to keep at it, not give up and iterate my way to awesome.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
increased by confidence, but EXHAUSTED me
What has been the biggest change in your business?
working way more hours and more determined and not willing to give up
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I'm not sure about this yet. I need some time to process. As we speak I am driving 20 hours with my husband from Ohio to Florida to deliver the course in the next 6 weeks from our airbnb and hope that taking some time at the Gulf will allow me the space to figure that out.
Hellooooooo!! This is Barbara Goodman, although I do like to reintroduce myself as: "Barbara GoodWoman" ????from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. What jives me about taking this class is the structure, the milestones and the celebration in completing actions. I love to learn and I love to teach. I have a bit, well maybe more then a bit, of that thing called: "getting distracted" which raises it's head more often than I like working at home alone. Already loving the checkins and recognitions of completing even the smallest actions, providing the sense of someone is here with me. Feelin' the love that you bring to everyone! Thank you!!!
I wanted to create an online course on eliminating limiting beliefs, and when I started coaching with Paul and Marisa, I was initially frustrated that they did not think it was right to just talk directly about limiting beliefs because the people who may have them do not identify as such. I initially resisted this idea as I believe beliefs drive everything we do. I later had a light bulb moment when the truth of what Paul and Marisa were saying, came home to me, that although our beliefs are critical, its the symptoms of those beliefs that drives people to change, so the hook to start on the transformation journey is often an attempt to resolve the symptoms of the core problem, and in that journey you also get what you need, and resolve the core problem. This was the biggest take away for me, as I was stuck on why people were not interested in what I thought was good for them, EPM helped me to flip the switch and focus on the experience of the customer and what they felt they needed, not what I thought they needed! At this stage, I have not launched my MVP, but will certainly be launching in the near future. This was an amazing course, thanks Marisa and your team. I can't wait to go over the modules again, including the supercharge tracks. I can not wait to iterate my way to awesome!!
I was invited to present a course through the Shift Network, and I truly wanted it to be the best course possible. Marissa taught me so much about how to structure the course, use the best possible marketing language that spoke to my audience, and the experience way of thinking to create a rock solid engaging course. The course begins in another week, and already I have over 550 people signed up for it.....Everyone who even dreams of creating an online course really needs to take this course! I am so grateful.
I have a full time job and wanted to launch a side hustle that I could grow into my next full time venture. I had a problem considering the style of business to launch as an entrepreneur who used to be a 1:1 business consultant, wanting to help other entrepreneurs overcome economic challenges and a looming recession. My past practice of building a referrals-based practice and only responding to referrals is now impractical, slow, very difficult and inappropriate. I joined EPM as part of researching different business-building models. I realized that there was a totally new landscape available through the internet. Everything changed and I am pivoting into a totally different direction. I could deliver my expertise and service more effectively through the internet than face to face. I also could serve many more clients with a repeatable system. The potential also exists to scale with automation. I have new knowledge and learned new internet-related processes that will enhance my business strategies.
Based on what I went through with my own parents, I was looking for a way to help others who are having difficulties communicating with their loved ones with dementia. My preference was to work with people one-on-one so they could benefit from customized coaching. But, I had no idea where to start and was looking for a structure or framework to help me. So, I signed up for a different 6 week on-line course class but got so bogged down and overwhelmed by all of the information and lessons that I didn’t finish it. It would have been a full time job to get it done in 6 weeks! Then I saw Marisa’s Experience Product Masterclass and the approach, as well as the timing, seemed much more doable to me. She offered a step-by-step approach along with additional weekly coaching for help and accountability. There was also weekly technical coaching with fill-in-the-blank templates. The coursework was as entertaining as it was instructive.

Your GRADUATION Story
I was considering developing a course for weight management using my previous hypnotherapy skills and experience. I kept procrastinating. Nothing I came up with seemed good enough to put out there and charge money for. I joined EPM and I learned that my program did not have to be perfect out the gate. The watch words were 'Iterate Your Way to Awesome'. I used the tools and training available in EPM to develop my product. The coaching and inspiration from Marisa and her team were like gold, supporting me every step of the way. Illness delayed my launch, but my product has been scheduled-forward to launch March 4th.
I now have a product to promote and sell. It has gone from a day-dream to a reality. I have over-come my procrastination and over-thinking to make it happen. EPM has taught me that discipline is required to achieve my goals. Take one action, and another action and another until the goal is accomplished. Even a small step is better than no step. And above all, 'go for the no' because the 'YES' is close behind. My biggest takeaway is that I CAN do it. What I do doesn't have to be perfect. I can iterate my way to awesome. I can now continue to use the skills and techniques I learned in in EPM to develop and fine tune my product while I am earning. I also have additional ideas for products to follow after my initial product is launched and selling.
"I was feeling as if I couldn't move forward and continue to grow my business and signed up for EPM as a gift to myself for my birthday because I had fallen into such a slump of the belief that no one wanted to pay me any more for my services and that I couldn't sell any of my products successfully. I joined EPM and learned so much, beyond my expectations. I deepened my understanding of the vision I had within myself and was able to see it with clarity. I also learned a lot of technical tools to help with the process and I started a chatterbox and felt more confident in sharing about my program and last but not least, with the support of this program I was able to successfully convert someone who was wanting to put off deciding about committing to her emotional freedom and my program till mid-Feb. In the past, I would just accept that she wasn't going to sign on, but this time, I continued to ask questions, until she all of a sudden loudly announced: I have to do this, I have to do this NOW!
Ca-ching! I am also celebrating another person who is willing to commit to reaching her potential. and celebrating having committed to EPM, thank you!

What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Keep moving forward.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
renewed my belief in my service.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
deeper clarity on course creation and the marketing and selling process.
"As a habitual procrastinator and someone who has self-sabotaged countless entrepreneurial dreams and online trainings, EPM has been the one course that I have completed. I may not have reached Mission Accomplished, but I did adapt, expand, market and re-launch my parenting course that focuses on helping parents create a better relationship with their children.
Two years ago I tried to revive this course which I originally created 15 years ago, but had been laying dormant on my bookshelf gathering dust and cobwebs. That attempt failed, as usual. Come 2020, the year of COVID lockdowns, I had the idea to re-launch and adapt my original course into something that could be offered on digital platforms in a safe way and to a broader audience. Then EPM appeared on my radar and I knew this is what I truly needed - to be pressured, mentored along the way and beheld accountable for my results.
I was fortunate to have had the chance to work from home so I had plenty of time to watch the trainings and complete the tasks. Yes, there were times when I would feel the urge to fall back into my previous patterns and blow it when I was so close to the finish line, again. But, this time... the combination of the points, the weekly trainings, the community of fellow EPMers, Coach Sean, the constant emails and the sensation of moving closer and closer to my goal forced me to get back on track and finish.
I may not have achieved my goal of $2,000 USD, but I finished it and I actually had 5 people sign up for my course. I made $300 USD which may not be much, but to me the fact that I am graduating from this course is worth more than the original monetary goal. The remaining $1,700 USD will come shortly. I know it. I now have a proven road map and the tools and knowledge to get me there with confidence.
The money will come along with the satisfaction in knowing that I will be helping parents radically transform the relationship with their children while breaking intergenerational ineffective and damaging parenting behaviors and beliefs. Improving children's lives has always been a passion of mine and now, I will be able to do this on a larger scale while also providing my family with the corresponding financial rewards that go along with living and spreading this message to families in Latin America, (my course is in Spanish)."
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
The quality of the training and the attention to detail in all aspects of the EPM course has been incredible to see and it has also set the bar for the same quality that I need to strive for in my trainings.
How did EPM help you become successful?
The accountability - the combination of the points, the weekly trainings, the community of fellow EPMers, Coach Sean, the constant emails and the sensation of moving closer and closer to my goal forced me to stay focused and finish.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
My wife is happy and confident in the evolution of my parenting course and its ability to help families. And more importantly I have regained confidence in myself to see something through from idea to completion.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
"I started! - that for me is huge. I actually earned money from one of my crazy projects - not as much as I had set out to earn on Day 1 of EPM, but it's a start. I am happy, but more importantly, my wife is happy, (she never did find out how much I invested in EPM, hehe).
I proved to her that I started AND finished a project and actually made money in the process. I will reach Mission Accomplished in the near future as I continue to improve my content, the offer and the marketing behind my course."
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
This is just the start. It will be to consolidate this course and make it highly profitable with having 2 or 3 programs going on at the same time while creating and English language version and a second product that is related within the Family and Parenting niche.
