BeFab Revolution What is your biggest takeaway from EPM? How to experiencify an educational product. PRICELESS!
How did EPM help you become successful? It took me step by step through all of the pieces to be successful. In addition, I received HOURS of coaching from my group coach, Marisa and Don which was invaluable.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life? It has put me on the path to creating something that is needed for my audience and made me become laser focused.
What has been the biggest change in your business? Through EPM, I got clarity on a "darling that I must kill." I learned the William Faulkner quote of "You must kill your darlings." Sad, but true in my case. I am letting go of those things that don't (1) provide the most value to my audience and (2) that don't provide reliable income for me.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product? I'm excited about serving my demographic with a program that empowers them and clearly gets them across the finish line.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
While I'm discouraged by the results having worked nearly full-time on the project since the beginning, I feel that I understand better how to bring the wow to my clients and I have a clear message and method to teach.
How did EPM help you become successful?
The implementation, the naming, and color charts were fantastic, as well as, the coaching. Where I felt things lacked was really how to broaden my market, and I'm still searching for how to create that reach that will give me the ultimate impact and bring in the sales.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
It's given me hope for the future, but I'm rather disappointed at this time in the results. Though I'm planning to keep going and iterate my way to awesome. I just feel that there were pieces missing from the course to help me get to mission accomplished.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I feel that I've come to really understand funnels, and course implementation and a way to create the experiences I want for my customers. I just need the how to bring in the real customer base. That I felt was lacking.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I'm excited to take this further, to really implement the course, and for the day I have the students that I need to really create an awesome experience.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That I can do this, now that I have better tools and understanding of marketing.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Helped me move past my fears of getting out there. Lots of tools and examples to help me see clearly how this works. Great process and people to help get me there and clear my mind on how all this works better.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I'm more confident in what I'm doing. For the first time in my life I'm excited about how I talk about a program and my sales page. My sister even wants to join my course after reading my sales page.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I've put myself out there in more places than I ever would have. I do videos. I'm getting better responses.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
That I can help more people in a better way that they can understand and feel great about themselves.
When I started, I didn't really know what I was doing and thought of churning out videos to teach people about leadership systems.
As a result of taking the Experience Product Masterclass, I learned a far better way of teaching people — not only teaching, but coaching them through the process — and making it fun too!
I had hated the thought of marketing, but over the weeks I learned that marketing is not trying to make money off of people; it's really about helping people. And since my primary motivation is to make people better, this helped me see that through what I do, I truly can help people develop the skills and systems to become better leaders!
I love how Marisa is so systematic and has checklists, examples, stories, and practical ways to keep everything engaging and fun. Even though I wasn't able to hit Mission Accomplished due to some unforeseen circumstances that caused some timing issues, I am confident that I have the skills to be successful in the future. I'm not even asking for the guarantee back, because this class was so worth it!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
How to market in a way that doesn't feel like marketing — I can create a quality product with confidence and I am helping people, not selling to them.
How did EPM help you become successful?
The system was awesome — it helped me have a clearly defined path on how to create a quality product — one that I am doing right now and will continue to do so in the future. It also gave me tools to market in ways that are more comfortable to me.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
It has given me a model that I can use in the future.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Learning online marketing effectively. Before I was sending random informational emails. After I tried to connect with people through my story and through experiences.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Creating more online class experiences in the future. It's fun!
For years I was having a problem with explaining what I wanted to do for the dental profession. I had so many ideas running around in my mind that I couldn't see straight. I feared if I took one path, it could be wrong,so i would go in another direction, but feared that could be a wrong decision. Soon, I gave up and stopped actively working on my dream. But I didn't give up on the idea of creating something that would matter to the dental profession and our patients.
My ideas would never leave me. I just kept them to myself. I don't remember the exact way I received information about EPM, it could have been email or Facebook, bit I do remember how I felt when I watched Marisa's webinar and the support I would receive from EPM. I'm a collaborative person and I knew with the kind of support Marisa was offering in the Masterclass I could get very clear on what I needed to do and how to get noticed in the market. I loved that I would have 1:1 coaching and email support.
As of this writing I'm placing my copy on my website(something I struggled with for years and learned in EPM) and I didn't lose sight of my ideas. I learned how to chose one offer to work on. I didn't have to let go of my ideas, they're part of who I am.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Today, in this time of my life, how I feel, is my success. I feel more inspired to engage in my business and make a good living doing what I love to do.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I knew I had something more to do, something important to say, to teach. but I wasn't sure where to start or what to do. Making a difference meant that I had to invest time and money into doing something differently.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Today I feel like a game changer, this is where I'm meant to be. Excited about finally getting my years of experience into the hearts and minds of good dentists that want to bring positive change to the profession.
Something irrevocably flipped in me this Summer. It was almost like my heart had declared my readiness to step up, step out and share my message. No more waiting in the wings. After far too many years of journaling, practicing, planning, course taking and playing-it-safe making – EPM was just the intervention I needed. And what a welcome surprise it was!
Why was it so right for me? I needed a structured framework to help me ground all my years of ideas and skills, and to re-connect with the value I had to share. The contents inside of EPM were the answer to my declaration to make 2017 a year to remember, by drawing a line under the old me, the stuck me, the fearful me. (Major visibility fears held me back for far too long - I was done) And even more important than that, share my message with the women who needed it.
Through Marisa’s genius process of going step-by-step through each element, I was able to speed - tick-by-tick - through the exercises (like discovering my biggest value, writing my story, defining my niche and so much more) 10 times faster than any previous course I have taken.
I created a 1:1 Transformational Intensive to “Liberate and Launch your Life after Breast Cancer” – called Create Your RoBust Life. I am sooo proud of it. Being clear and confident on the contents of my programme, and finally being able to write and share my story with everyone (and give back to those who helped me on my recovery journey), has been beyond healing for me personally too. Ironically, it was almost like the missing piece of my own life launch platform.
Discovering my Super Power – Polish Potential Until It Shines Back – has had me see myself in a different light, and recognise the power within me to polish and nurture that potential in others. This “big game” experience had me really dig deep to uncover the parts that were holding me back, and stopping me being visible. That has been such a blessing to discover and flip upside down to a strength – something I would not have done in the comfort of a lonely D.I.Y course module!
Half way through the EPM course, I realised that I could not rush or push as much as I had been – and I made peace with that, knowing that if I just kept putting one foot in front of the other, I would get there. “Iterate to Awesome” as Marisa says. And I will. In my heart I will succeed in actually launching this time, because now, I have my unique recipe that I trust and believe in.
The difference with this course, has been the level of live interaction, momentum and connection created by Marisa’s team, coaches and supportive community members. It’s been epic and intense! This in particular was the reason I am so proud of how much progress I made; which was more in the last 8 weeks than the last 4 years. I couldn’t have got this far had it not been for the level EPM invited me to play at. It’s Big, Bold and Scary – but it catalysed me to the next level of my life, and business. The excellent processes and technical trainings were the cherry on top. Genius indeed.
It’s not just the progress I made from being inside the EPM experience that has helped me so much – it’s also how EPM has helped me on the outside too. I even finished a fundraising song about my story, that had been in the pipeline for years! And have reached out to people that had been wondering where I had been all this time, and who are now more than happy and ready to support me going forward. So no more hiding on my part! What a gift.
So this was MY VERY OWN MISSION ACCOMPLISHED; Confidence to launch my product (life!) in the coming months, 100% more capable in understanding and implementing the technology (that used to block me) and without a doubt – so ready and able to go out there, and Live My Message! Thank you Marisa and Team, from the bottom of my grateful happy heart xox
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Learning how to stand out from the crowd and how to add value to a product - and exactly what to focus on and what doesn't matter so much. But the biggest - the product does not have to be perfect in order to start sharing and making money....and I don't have to be perfect!!
How did EPM help you become successful?
Thought I've not launched yet, I feel successful because I have become so much more clear about my message and how I will frame and deliver it. I iterated many times and got a lot of value from the Give them What They Want campaign so that I am designing something that women actually want! The coaching was also terrific - having a more intimate group to share with was very helpful. Having access to Heroic has given me a lot of confidence that I can easily create something that will quickly make me look credible, professional and visible at last!
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I've done many trainings in order to become a health coach, learn about the business aspect and how to market. EPM has helped me so much not just with my product, but also how to approach the technical parts of an online business which are part of what has held me back from really getting started in my business. Yay for Implementation Fridays - these alone have saved me hours upon hours of research! I am now telling a lot more people about what I have been doing and what I am excited about for my business - I never spoke up before out of fear of being judged as not credible enough, or just not good enough. I now feel unstoppable and don't care about those things!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Before I was floundering without a microniche and knowing how to design a program that would make me stand out from the competition. Now I am organized, I have 100% clarity and a solid launch plan, and a web presence with online sales and funnel pages with Heroic.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
It is much more realistic for me now to believe that this can be my full-time business within a couple of years, that I can operate from anywhere in the world not just a part-time gig....and knowing that people want the service that I provide Having the EPM framework and materials as a resource for life inspires me that my business can be so much more than I ever imagined before.
I am a Certified Holistic Health/Wellness Coach. We are trained to sit and listen to the client and plan each session after the session before it. To focus on the goals of the client. That is great, but there is no clear path and so no one really knows what we do or what we are offering. So having a thriving practice is a real struggle. We have so much useful information and no real way to market it. People know they may want a change but have no real idea how or why.
So with the Experience Product they get a real life picture of the adventure of getting well for life with clear direction and creating their goals and getting to Mission Accomplished! This is my plan for my coaching practice in the future. I have had no success with getting clients up to this point. They just don’t see the value in having a health coach by their side to help them. Let alone pay for one. But now that I have the experience product template I can create a path for them to follow that makes sense to have a guide on the side with them to hit mission accomplished.
I had to go back to working a job for now but am still developing my product and learning all the way. I am so grateful for this training and opportunity to be surrounded by “like minded” people... it is truly a blessing to be here. I think about creating experience products around many things in my life and even my current job is an experience product in itself. So fun. Being involved in one myself is like being in the matrix of a game with constant wins all day long that keep you very engaged to keep going. Thank you so much for this experience Marisa, you are truly brilliant!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
I love the idea of an experience product! I understand the brilliance behind the concept and am working on other platforms for this concept.
How did EPM help you become successful?
This is an amazing way to help people Win in all areas of their lives. It changes everything. I just need more time to develop my concept and approach in regards to health coaching.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
This gives my so much passion to get my client engaged in this type of product and feel the constant wins to actually accomplishath, change constant wins and simplic their goals and desires in their lives with a clear pity.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The whole direction of my practice is going to change... I am just not sure how yet! My clients will have clear direction. I was trained to let the client decide the direction of the session but that can get lost and fogged over. Clear direction is better and they get all the goodness of the experience product all the way through their time with me.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product? Helping people to truly succeed in their lives and have fun doing it. A place where they feel loved and supported to be well, and not be confused by all the crap out there. To know they have a guiding light that will help them cross the finish line with real understanding of winning for life!
I began my Experience Product Mastermind in the middle of my first online product seed launch. My BreakThrough Circle program trains heart-centered entrepreneurs to nurture breakthroughs in their emotional lives so that they can serve the world in a bigger way. My cart was initially scheduled to close in late Sep, but in order to pay for EPM, I kept my cart open until Oct 3. Yet even with keeping my cart open an extra week, I still had only 4 paying clients totaling $3,889. I was short of my goals and needed to figure out a way to enroll more clients so that I would have good video footage from the course to use for creating the next iteration of my Experience Product. I also needed to earn more revenue to keep my cash flow from drying up before my next launch. I wasn't sure what I needed to do to enroll more clients.
Then in 10X Strategy Module 1, I heard Marisa say that “In 99.99% of the time, Information-based products, programs, and courses don’t take enough time to paint the most detailed picture possible of their customer’s future selves and it’s a big reason why they struggle to enroll people in buying.” I realized that I needed to get clearer on the mission and specificity of my offering. Then Marisa taught us the “Give Them What They want” campaign and the power of asking my clients what they wanted. I took this idea and went back to my prospects who didn’t buy. I gave them a clearer picture of the benefits of the program and also walked them through a baseline data survey that rated the major strategies of the BreakThrough Circle program that they were already using. Scores were very low, as I anticipated. Then I helped them connect the dots to what would be possible for them if they began to consistently use these strategies. This opened their eyes to the future self possibility of joining the program. I enrolled 3 more paying customers for an extra $1,494 (and $149 Superbux) that I would not have earned otherwise. By following up again with my non-buying prospects and employing an adaption of Marisa’s survey-oriented strategy, my post-cart close telephone campaign was a success.
I was busy delivering my 7 week program during EPM and chose not to participate in most of the Experience Points motivational contests, but I did watch most of the live trainings and coaching calls. The Experience Product Masterclass is the most comprehensive course strategy, design, and launch program that I have ever seen. Marisa really has a knack for bringing the teaching down to the very practical level in ways that other teachers I’ve studied with were unable to do. I am re-launching in January and expect to earn $15K-$20K for this second launch. Thank you Marisa and team!
I was basically taking a 2 year "time out" from my previous efforts to create a program that would help me get my message out around how to forgive, accept, grieve and heal. Actually, some of this was because of having not done the greatest job at the most recent past seminar I led, which was very painful. (Oddly I got back in touch with the sponsor of that training through my chatterboxing for EPM and that contact invited me back to deliver another training! :-) So ... This year I was ready to pick myself up and have another go at it. And yes, I have been taking stabs at how to get my work out, and have made many different attempts for close to 30 years. Confession, I have been "growing myself" and working my way through some very difficult issues in that period so really, this timing is right for me to now be back working on the Gift I have to give to the world.
Well, now I am in motion using the Front door approach suggested by Marissa, after having made 1 large pivot from an Assertiveness program, to the offering I am still marketing which is a personal development program around Clearing the Barriers and Opening Your Heart Back to Dating and Love, that also included a smaller pivot. I HAVE NOT REACHED MISSION ACCOMPLISHED AND HAVE NO IDEA IF I WILL OR WILL NOT. I am still in the marketing phase, and am doing a 1/2 day Introductory program in a few weeks, from which I plan to sell the full 10 week program. It feels good to be getting the sign ups for the 1/2 day program, that are beginning to occur (4 so far).
My biggest internal shift is that I need to get up off my butt, and into motion, so I can actually talk to prospective clients, primarily through chatterboxing. I continue to get clearer about what the market wants, and also how to talk about what I do. I also have a much better idea of how to go about designing and marketing a program that people will want, without going through the work of designing the whole thing in advance!
So... we were told to put our story into the before and after format, but I my story is far from over. I cried when I could see that I would not make mission accomplished, and had to get those feelings out of my system in order to regain my equilibrium, which I did. Also, my mom died during the course of this class. As recently as 3 days ago, I was asking myself: "What am I doing, doing a front door program when maybe I could apply the EPM principles to offer my Emotional Healing Training more directly to therapists? So... I am going to simultaneously be applying all that I have learned to this other idea, as I continue to market my current Training! I have been given a process to hang on to as my mind, which is forever full of ideas, is forced to take one - or so- thing at a time.
Thank you Marissa, for all of your giving and your care. You have said that your gift is to "turn essence into form." You are also an igniter who is enabling many change agents, points of light on the planet, to manifest our gifts and transform the planet into what it is meant to be. That is huge.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Many!! Setting a problem in a specific situation, since my superpower and what I want to bring into the world is a greater understanding and use of methods for emotional healing. More specifically, the idea of the front door and the back door, and how to write a strong mission statement, future self picture, and birdseye view.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Many ways! Having a coach was very important re. feeling the personal support, and guidance. Tho I didn't ask a question, listening to Marissa's coaching sessions was very helpful. I felt like this program created a culture, and a different way of thinking that i hope to keep strong around. Every module helped me become successful, and I loved the niche down, profits up bonus module. Also, the Facebook chat added another place to get input and support. It all worked together.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Just having the 4 sign ups (waiting for payment in the mail) for my Intro workshop, feels supportive. EPM has impacted my life a lot, because it has provided a solid frame of reference for every aspect of business building around my passion and strengths.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I am in new motion around offering training and personal development group. I am in on-going conversations with people about my offering, which I expect to do forever! Before, I was on "hiatus" from actively working to get my work into the world. In other words, my one on one counseling business has been doing well, and there are other things I am called to do, and this program has jump started the process. I hope i keep up the focus and momentum.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I am most excited about refining my ideas, and creating my message - I'm going to MtMLive. I'm referring to my product and ideas around both the "get started choice" of a training program I have been working on in EPM, and the prospect of applying the tools from EPM to teach forgiveness, acceptance, grieving and healing processes more directly. So I am excited about refining my message and products in both areas.
