Is there anything else you would like to add?
This is just the beginning!
Before EPM I had been struggling with the focus for my business. I’d spent 14 years delivering coaching and training to leaders and their teams, firstly in the private sector, then niching in the education sector (my background before setting up my business).
Recent years have seen my market becoming flooded with people who offer the same service, including more people with a similar USP to me. As I tried to respond to needs, I lost track of what I was about, and found myself running ragged trying to offer more and more bespoke services, spreading myself and my offerings too widely, which was extremely time-consuming and mentally exhausting. My income was also dropping. I felt lost, and suddenly realized that I desperately wanted to become proactive again and take control of where my business was headed. I needed to gain my identity back and gain real clarity about my services and my ‘why’.
With this in mind, I attended several webinars, chosen because they all sounded like they would fix my problem. These led to signing up for online trainings, costing $1,000s, but without any results. Most of the time I didn’t even complete the trainings. What’s worse … this was having an increasingly negative impact on my home life.
Feeling frustrated (and slightly desperate!) I thought I’d try one last webinar before seriously considering getting a ‘normal’ job again. This webinar turned out to be the pre-EPM launch webinar (2018). I’d say it was the best decision I’ve made in a long time.
What worked particularly well in this program were 3 main things:
The step-by-step approach the program offered. The ‘wins’ (points achieved from taking actions) – this became addictive! Having a coach who became my accountability partner. It’s not been plain sailing. I lost a close friend around the time of the start of the EPM program, and have spent lots of my spare time supporting the family. However, my determination to keep going with the trainings have meant I’ve still been able to graduate, and proudly so! My gains have included:
A $700 sale from my first marketing campaign conversation. Greater clarity and focus for my products, along with excitement about what’s possible. A big dose of self-belief and confidence for the future. I feel like I’m finding my ‘Why’ again, and gaining ENERGY back by being more congruent. This is huge for me.
Huge thanks to Marisa, Kate, Christine, Don, Murray at the rest of the team! Your apparent endless supply of positive energy has been amazing!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Oooh, there have been so many! ... I can't choose between the following 2:
1. Seeing my products as 'experience products', instead of information products
2. It's motivated me to get super-focused on my business again, and helped me realise that I DO have what it takes to make it the success it can be. Need to continue to be authentically me!
How did EPM help you become successful?
The XPs and XXXPs have been a HUGE motivator! Doing the work is the key, and the XPs (as well as reporting my progress to my coach) have been the motivation (and accountability) I needed to keep going ... one step at a time!
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Given me confidence again, when I'd started to struggle with my focus. Was getting a little 'lost' with what I was offering; lacked clarity. Still feel there's a little way to go, as I now look at the bigger picture of the business as a whole. Need to nail this. The impact on my life has been more energy and clarity.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
There hasn't really been a change on my income. If anything, I've taken my eye off the usual marketing I do, whilst I've been working on this programme (e.g. LinkedIn posts, weekly newsletters, etc.)
I suppose I've realised that with a clear head around what I offer, and being able to talk about it with more focus (Chatterbox it!), I've seen how I can earn more than I have been. i.e. the $700 gained from my 1st Chatterbox conversation is proof that it works!! So you could say I'm $700 better off! There's still time to earn more as I progress with my program.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Seeing the fruits of my labours, getting to enjoy marketing, and applying what I've learned to other experience products.
Your Mission Accomplished Story
After working through countless other online programs without any real results, I signed up for EPM as it promised concise clear guides to realize something great and really delivered the momentum, reminders, and community to stay engaged throughout the process. I reached my target, but not how I thought I would: While the current iteration of the program didn't attract the students I hoped for (and will be iterated to awesome), the chatterbox campaign itself had me line up 3 new clients at $870 each (because people preferred one-on-one sessions rather than group coaching), resulting in $2610 that would have never happened if I wasn't riding the motivational wave provided by EPM itself. Thanks so much for this context, that we might find ways to sustain ourselves while developing new skills. And I can't for Message to Money Live to continue the adventure!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That all of life is a game, there are no rules really, and 'Mission Accomplished' can come from the most surprising of spaces.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Community, momentum, and steady reminders. (Small as it was, really appreciated the email title prefix [EPM] to constantly be 'in my face' in the midst all of life's commitments)
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Feels like a beginning rather than an ending, the first stair step in a long ascent for years to come.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
*Really listening* to what customers want and acting on it specifically.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Continuing to apply the principles to refine existing ideas and inform new ones, while continuing to adapt to clients needs "in the moment" to keep the business moving forward.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Endless gratitude.
I really wanted to start organizing group coaching and doing an online course, but I had no idea how and I was constantly postponing it. Also, I'm trained to be a relationship coach, but given the privacy of the subject, I didn't fully assume and didn't dare to talk about it outside of my newsletter or to write it black on white on my website.
Thanks to my coach Sheena and EPM, I dared to create a program dedicated to single and highly sensitive women (starting my group coaching even without having prepared it - wow for me ... I'm such a perfectionist usually!) and I managed to sell it to 6 clients. So it's gone for a new adventure ... and I'm very happy!
In the end, I know that I am capable and I have transformed the love life of my clients in the past (clients who did come to me for a professional coaching but shifted ;) ). All were happy with my work but there is something in me that blocks and prevents me from owning it. Once again, thanks to EPM I was able to overcome those fears and just do it!
Also, in addition to the 6 clients registered for my new program, and thanks to my perfect email campaign, I had new requests for individual sessions and also a new client for my VIP 1:1 program. This is my best month! I had never generated so much money with my coaching business. It's the beginning of course, and I'm still far from being rich, but it gives me so much hope!
Thank you EPM!
How did EPM help you become successful?
By being active everyday and overcoming resistance. My coach Sheena has been amazing and extremely available. I've also improved my copy and my sales page. But mostly, thanks to EPM I've dared to create a new program on love and talk about it in my personal environnement which is a huge step for me.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I finally feel available to receive help and to be assisted in my project. I'm usually a lonely wolf ;) And it really feels good + I made a good new friend in EPM and we talk about starting some projects together. So, yes, I feel more connected and hold.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The change of focus: from personal development and self-actualization in "business" to focusing on love and belonging.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I'm really excited to get to the point where I can surround myself with a team. I'm excited (and frightened) to develop my leadership in a group coaching program. I'm excited to create a system and being able to repeat it (previously, I was only doing 1:1 and adapting the sessions to each client). I'm excited to create my program "on the go" and let it go... (perfectionism,...)
Thank you! :)
When I first made the decision to begin a business all things changed for me. I knew that this was not only what I wanted to do but honestly, I felt that it was what I was designed to do. Even though I did not know what I was going to do or how to do it …I felt so nervous and ‘lost’ because I had to work on my business quietly and privately (nobody in my circle really supported my “ideas”). I was ready to give up on what I wanted to do; leave my dreams behind me; and maybe, just maybe one-day I would revisit it again …That is, until EPM.
I watched Marisa’s webinar and something happened! I could feel the passion that she has for helping others to achieve their goals and getting them to Mission Accomplished. And then Marisa’s promise of her continuing support and that of her team – well, that is what won me over. Through EPM, I now have a clear vision of what I am creating; how I am promoting; the perfect ways to market and deliver; and to eventually get to my Mission Accomplished.
Although, at the time of this letter, I have not made Mission Accomplished – I know that I will. Please, allow me to repeat – I know that I will. Regardless of any outcome – I have succeeded. I have a proven process to follow. I have a new level of confidence. I now have a path -with such clarity- that I am a different person than I was 10 weeks ago.
To Marisa, the entire EPM Team, and the EPM community I am so Grateful for your support, guidance, and never ending encouragement! Thank you.
Your Mission Accomplished Story
I spent last summer creating a program which I thought would revolutionize my business and help more clients get great results. But -- no surprise -- the program did the exact opposite. It was one big downward death spiral from moment #1. Despite marketing it, I made less than $1000 from this program that I'd poured 2 months into creating and not one person finished the program. I knew the program needed an upgrade but didn't know how to make it better.
Enter Marisa. From the moment I listened to the first webinar, I knew that EXPERIENCE was what was missing. By following what Marisa taught and making sure to build in the core experiences, plus adding more of my true self (not just a talking head), I am sure this product is going to create much more impact for both my clients and for my business. And it will be much more fun to deliver! I've got real enthusiasm for delivering the program and I feel a bit like my entire business got a much-needed shot of adrenaline.
But I got much more from the program than a formula for creating products. The marketing modules were fabulous. I have invested more than $25,000 in other business development programs and NEVER before have I gotten such succinct and actionable marketing advice. I will use this formula again and again.
And the technology advice was excellent. I know I will be watching Don's videos again.
The level of support in this program was incredible -- more than programs costing 10x more. Such a fantastic investment of my time, energy and money.
I have made $2250 on my experience product so far, and I'm have 3 potential clients to speak with tomorrow so the number will definitely go higher!
Thank you, Marisa and the whole LYM crew. Keep doing what you are doing!

Is there anything else you would like to add?
If you (future client who is sitting on the fence about EPM) have any doubts about whether or not to join program and work with the Live Your Message team, JUST DO IT! You will NOT regret it.
I've been in the internet affiliate marketing for quite some time now, however, from the beginning I realized that the only way to have a stable and continuous income was to create a product of my own. The only problem was I didn't know what about. Personal development has been my field of interest more than 20 years now so that should have been the reasonable choice, however I felt like imposter in even thinking to do something in that area.
Nevertheless, my interest and commtmment.in PD for personal reasons have contributed to my overall transformation, including physical. People were interested in my story, however, again, I didn't feel like I belong in the fitness world when product creation was concerned. Having this challenge I wasn’t sure what to do. I had a burning desire to create a product of my own and leave a legacy behind... yet I didn't know what would that be.
I was following Marisa for few years, had great respect for her and her uniqueness, but never really got to work with any of her programs. The promotion for EPM reached me through one of her affiliates and instantly I had this gut feeling "This is IT!!!"
I joined EPM and from the start, when I listened to the very first lesson and "saw" how Marisa was merging personal development with product creation... it struck me that I could do the same thing and combine the two seemingly very different worlds - Personal Development and Health & Fitness.
After nearly 4 years... the chaos came to order. Not just that I now know what product to create with the Learn-while-you-earn approach, even more, I have found my life purpose and meaning in sharing my story and making people realize that the age is just a number. You can be old in your 20ies and young in your 60ies, 70ies and beyond. Now, at 46, I feel and look better than in my 20ies... and I want to help as many people as possible to feel the same. Marisa and EPM have brought me the enlightenment and the clarity and I can't think of a greater benefit to my soul than this.
THANK YOU MARISA!
Blue skies,
Milenka :-)

Finally create product of my own, something I wasn't able to do in the past 3 years.
How did EPM help you become successful?
It got me thinking, self-evaluating and most importantly - DOING!!!
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I feel empowered and creative... and I am thankful to all my pitfalls that have brought me where I am now. Everything is a lesson... or a stepping stone - it's for me to decide. There is good in every bad... if I am aware, open and patient enough to find it and receive it... and then make a good use of it, for myself, and others.

Is there anything else you would like to add?
I can't wait to see how the rest of my life will unfold :-)
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That I am not alone. There are SO Many ways to gain awareness. That Chatterbox is the 'Real-Deal'. That I can do this!
How did EPM help you become successful?
Through the support of everyone (LYM staff & community) encouraging each other through each and every process. There is no way to not be successful with the support and encouragement like that. This is something that simply does not exist within other communities or programs. EMP has it Mastered! Thank you.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Confidence. Even when I feel nervous about launching or promoting ... my new-found confidence rings louder than any nervousness I might be feeling.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The biggest change in my business for me is ... that I now have a business. Until 10 weeks ago, I only had a dream of a business. Now, it has become a reality. Before, I had a dream and a hope of perhaps "one day". Now, I have a business. (it may not be out of the gate - but I have one!)
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Being able to help make a difference in others and being able to do that with integrity and confidence is what excites me most about moving forward with my Experience Product.
