What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Be brave and ignore the torpedos!!!
How did EPM help you become successful?
The positive psychology and professional approach by Marisa and the coaches greatly inspired me to emulate their inspiring methods.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I am now embarked on a career as a digital marketer, online course consultant, and agent, as well as producer of my own course on scientific maximization of personal luck.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The chatterbox technique was adopted with vigor and success. Getting ideas from my clients!
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Moving from the workshop format to the online course format.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I loved the course and will look at the materials for the next year!
I am so excited to have taken this training. Before taking this course, I was waffling around, procrastinating and struggling to even get a blog post out…let alone an entire coaching program.
Because of the Experience Product Master class, I have been able to take a previous coaching program I put together and taught to Amazon Merchants a couple of years ago that had lots of hidden “gold” buried in it and redefine it from a long drawn out “course of study” to an Experience Product. I have been able to clarify my ideal students, hone my message and have a blueprint to follow for marketing, instead of just winging it and hoping it works. I am really excited about the new format and the increased success that I know my students can now have following the EPM outline.
During the program, I faced a couple of serious challenges. The first was that I was having my best year ever during the Christmas rush for product selling on Amazon ( my main business). My husband was a huge help, but my other paid help backed out at the last minute, so I was taking up the slack every day instead of working through EPM as I had planned. The second challenge came when we discovered the walls of the home we were leasing were filled with mold and rather than fix the problem, the owners released us from our lease. We had to find a new place to live and move our entire home and business, along with tons of inventory during December. I got off track during this time, but was able play catch up here in the last couple of weeks of the program.
I still have some work to do for marketing and sales and I am about 4 weeks away from launching, but I have my first two students already lined up and ready to go and I have only done a small amount of word of mouth on facebook and in email to my very small email list….wohoo!
This is only the beginning and I have about 50 more ideas that I want to try out once I nail this one first. The EPM course has helped me really focus and stop trying to get it perfect and to iterate my way to awesome. Thank you so much!!!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
It doesn't have to be perfect...it just needs to get done. I can provide value and expertise while I am perfecting the program.
How did EPM help you become successful?
It helped me take a massive project and break it down into bite sized chunks with actionable steps all along the way. It became "doable".
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I have so much more confidence now and I am super excited about my coaching business again.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Before I was tinkering with the program, avoiding social contact until it was "perfect"...I was basically just using creative avoidance. Now I am back
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
The ability to use this blueprint and method for any training idea that I have - and to know that my students are going to be able to win every time and that I was able to provide a platform that will help them achieve the results they are seeking.
Your Mission Accomplished Story
My EPM story
3 years ago I certified as a Quantum Success Coach and since then, I’ve signed up for virtually every course, big and small, that came into my inbox. Over that time, I have spent thousands!
Despite all good intentions to carve out a new career for myself as a Parenting Coach for parents of young boys, it seemed that the more courses I took, the more overwhelmed and stuck I became. I was losing confidence in myself and loosing courage.
Sometimes, I was doing so many courses all the time same time, that I could hardly get to finish any, or do them fully, before the next new and shiny thing caught my eye. It seemed that the more I did, the less confident I became.
I felt stuck!
It was only after I joined EPM, did I start to see a light at the end of the tunnel. The experience side of the program got me hooked right from day one, and I actually felt excited again!
Everything about EPM right from the start began to motivate me. For the first time in ages I actually felt like I could do this and I WANTED to do it! And for the first time again in a while, I felt that I could finally get my business up and running and off the ground.
I have to say that out of all the dozens of courses that I’ve done over the years, EPM hands down is one of the best.
It is so well designed with bite size easy to understand, digest and implement videos and work sheets, that just by following the steps as given, it’s a fool proof system and you really can’t fail.
Even when I felt tired, or got busy and felt overwhelmed, as I’ve felt before halfway through many other courses, in this program the small video steps and the live coaching, plus the perfectly timed encouraging emails, kept me focussed to keep doing all the homework and assignments right from the get-go and continue all the way through.
There was so much support from all 3 live weekly coaching calls. Every question I had got answered, either directly in my Milestone Doc, or through listening to others being coached.
Following the sequence of the modules, I was able to organically get my first Beta client, offering her a 6 week coaching package at a discount cost of £394. My first paid client! It all happened so seamlessly that it felt like the most natural thing in the world. No stress, no worry, I just followed the steps in the modules without having to sell to her and she ended up asking me when she could start.
Then to add icing to the cake, at the end of her package, she said she wasn’t ready to stop and asked if she could continue working with me. So she signed up with me again for another 3 months at the discounted price of £1,200.
She was already getting great results with both her boys. And in the 6 weeks we’d been working together, she’d got them both in bed and lights out by 7.30 pm till morning. (3 hours earlier than before.) She’d gone from them screaming and crying and often ending up crying herself, to the boys loving their new bedtime routine and looking forward to going to sleep, just as I’d promised they would. So my client and her husband had got their evening back and actually started going out on dates again :) And with the boy’s more rested their behaviour improved, she was now relaxed and enjoying being a mom again. I couldn’t have wished for a more invested client and a better outcome for her and her family.
I was so happy for her progress and helping her celebrate her results, that I just kept focussing and her new program and what she needed help with next.
So much so, that I hadn’t even realised until the final week of the program, that I’d actually reached Mission accomplished without even noticing. I’d earned back my course fees.
When I converted my £1,594 earnings into dollars, it came to just over $2,104!
I would highly recommend EPM to anyone thinking of doing a program that keeps you focussed to stay on track and engaged with all the video trainings. Plus, that leaves you feeling supported and re-energised by the weekly live coaching calls. Because it really does get you to naturally create your own program and online business along the way.
For me, I found that just by simply following the steps in the order as delivered, plus showing up live for the coaching (or watching the replays), this program provided EVERYTHING I needed. It even Included Tech support, which I plan to start using when I’m ready to launch a small group program.
I realised in hindsight, that I’d actually earned my first 2k with just my one client and without needing to use any complicated technology. I simply used my iPhone for my coaching calls with her and also to send her a few weekly audio voice recordings that supported her coaching and her wins. Plus I sent texts in between calls to help keep her engaged and on track. Then I used my laptop for email support and for celebrations. So I had no complicated tech stuff to worry about to begin with at this first early stage, which helped me to finally get off the ground and up and running as a paid coach, with less stress than I’d anticipated.
My client also provided great testimonials throughout her journey, which will hopefully lead to my next ideal clients also wanting to say yes to themselves.
Next time round, as the course teaches, I’ll use the technology that the program provides as well, so I can hopefully leverage my time more and get to multiply, and eventually quadruple my income in the months to come.
EPM was definitely the best investment I made in 2019 because it actually did end up paying for itself!!
With much appreciation.

What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
My biggest takeaway from EPM is to remember that "DONE IS BETTER THAN PROCRASTINATING TRYING TO BE PERFECT"
How did EPM help you become successful?
It's the first out of the dozens of programs I've invested in over the last few years, that has actually got me to follow through with EVERYTHING that the program offers, to go all the way through it to the end and get to achieve my goal to launch my online program.
EPM has been the only program that has got me to actually earn an income as a Parenting Coach.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I have got some of my old confidence in myself back. It's wonderful to feel of value again and being able to offer my services to someone who not just needs it, but who also wants to know and learn what I have to share and teach. I haven't felt like that for a long time!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The confidence to finally launch as a Parenting Coach and to start charging for my services
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
To finally get my first website up and running and launching a 1-few group program
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Just to say a HUGE thank you to Marisa, Murray, Debra, Don and all the support team!! :))
I was busy “living my message,” but I had reached a point in my work where I radically needed to change what I was doing to generate more business or I would be headed back to working in the community as a therapist which I did NOT want to do. I had never done any marketing before and all of the clients and students I worked with came to me exclusively through personal referrals. But I also knew that the work I was doing had value so I wasn’t ready to give up just yet. And then, I joined the Experience Product Masterclass…
Although I really had no clue what to expect from EPM when I first signed up, my goal in taking it was to learn how to package and market my work to new target audiences. I thought that if I were able to do that at the end of the course, then I would have considered it a success. Little did I know that achieving that goal was just the tip of the iceberg. Marisa’s EPM course has been a total game-changer for me. In fact, I was able to reach Mission Accomplished using only the first of the many marketing campaigns that were presented! I can hardly wait to see what is possible when I implement the rest of my marketing plan.
Moving forward, I will never be able to approach my work in the same way again. My internal shifts are considerable. Each day I focus on what my clients and students say they want and need, and then how I can deliver it in a way that will adequately experiencify it with constant wins. I am so excited about the marketing tools of empowerment I have been given, and the unlimited potential they have for expanding what I am already doing in my business, as well as the new experience products I will create from here on.
I am eternally grateful for Marisa and the work she has brought to the world to help entrepreneurs live their messages. The value that she and her support team bring to her students is immeasurable. I can’t thank her enough for all the gifts I have received from taking the EPM journey. You Rock Marisa!!!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Really? I honestly don't even know where to begin with that question. EVERYTHING I have taken away from EPM has been BIG. However, there are a few things that have left an especially big impression on me: 1) the importance of focusing on what the student's perceived wants and needs are instead of pushing what I think is important or relevant for them, 2) the myriad of tools and methods available to help promote my business, and 3) the impact and potential that a membership site has--if only I had been utilizing that little gem all along, what a different world it would be!
How did EPM help you become successful?
Although I really had no clue of what to expect from the EPM course when I first signed up for it, my goal in taking it was to learn how to package and market my work to new target audiences. I felt that if I were able to do that at the end of the course, then I would have considered it a success. Well I am here to tell you that achieving that goal was just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to being able to achieve my main objective (which was monumental in itself), one of the other things that EPM has done to help me become successful is continually focusing on the principle that DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT, and that there is no reason why I can't be earning an income at any stage of my product creation. I know well from the delivery of the classes I have created over the years that they get better every time they are delivered with my continued tweaking of the content and graphics...but I never considered that I could promote and launch an experience product before it was actually developed. But I know from personal experience that it is true...I always have whatever I am planning to deliver done at the time when it is expected...so it goes without saying that it applies equally to something you are creating for the first time as it does with something you have already done that is being tweaked.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
To be honest, I had reached a point in my entrepreneurial work where if things didn't radically change in terms of generating new students, then I was going to be headed back to working in the community as a therapist which I did NOT want to do. Up until now, I always generated new students via word of mouth only, but I wasn't reaching anyone outside of the circles of students I already knew, and new referrals were naturally diminishing over time with those I was reaching. On the other hand, I knew that there was significant value in what I was doing because almost all of my students who started paying $1500 for each class continued taking the classes over a 5 year period for a total cost of $12,000 to complete the entire process, and they wouldn't have gone that distance if they didn't perceive that they were getting sufficient value from it.
So although I reached Mission Accomplished, I haven't even begun to see the success that will be generated from it in monetary terms. In fact, I still haven't implemented 98% of what I have been learning because I am still in the process of tweaking it. However, despite that, it is a total game-changer. I now have the tools I have been needing to achieve my goals in ways that I couldn't even have imagined was possible; and even bigger in terms of success is that I have a new lease on life and I am soooo excited I can hardly stand it sometimes!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I can't identify ONE thing that constitutes the "biggest" change in how I am doing my business...it's ALL BIG...and it's even harder to identify at this stage because I haven't even begun to fully implement the changes I am making. However, I would say that the biggest changeS at this point are as follows: 1) establishing a marketing process to reach potential students, 2) the way I
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
In addition to the excitement about everything I have mentioned already, there are a couple of things that I am especially excited about. I think I am mostly excited about two things: 1) FINALLY having the tools of empowerment that I have needed for literally decades to significantly impact my business in positive ways, and 2) the unlimited potentials for expanding what I am currently doing with the classes I am already delivering, as well as creating and delivering new experience products for other target markets. There is literally no end to what I can create using the methodology I have been learning in the EPM course.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I am eternally grateful for you, Marisa, and the work you have brought to the world to help entrepreneurs live their messages. The value that you and your support team bring to your students is immeasurable. I really don't know how to thank you enough for everything I have received from taking the EPM journey. I truly appreciate who you are and what you do. You Rock!!! .
For three years I have been seeking the 'magic formula' to grow my business. After spending a LOT of money on a lot of different courses, I had very little to show for it. One day I decided to write down every course I had purchased, and truthfully, I was shocked at the list. Way more than I remembered. Some of the courses I barely even looked at. I realized that the self-study concept didn't work for me. I was at the point of giving up, or maybe transitioning into a non-profit, or a different business. I was at a crossroads and didn't know what direction to go in.
I'm not sure how I came to find Marisa and EPM. I think someone had sent me her webinar. It looked intriguing, but I vowed to not purchase one more program until I completed all the others. As I watched Marisa on her webinar, everything she said made so much sense. It seemed like the missing piece to my complex puzzle. I loved the idea of accountability. I didn't think it was even possible to create the program and system that Marisa has created. I was willing to take one more chance. So I signed up. From the get-go, this course was different.
The celebrations at every turn really motivated me. The regular online meetings with Marisa and the other coaches were invaluable. I thought I had a well-defined target market and program idea but soon came to realize that I was trying to do way too much. I saw how much I was jumping around, from one subject to another, and never taking my ideas to completion. Because EPM breaks everything down into doable, manageable steps, I was able to really focus. The one thing that was a real game changer for me was the focus I developed. To really concentrate on one, simple program and not try to include everything and the kitchen sink! And it worked.
When I got to the marketing section, I'm not gonna lie. I was a little overwhelmed. But I continued on day by day, working on it, because by golly I was going to FINISH this thing! The good news is that I now have my own, fully functioning website through Heroic, which is something I have been trying to accomplish for YEARS! And I know how to update it at any time. I also added a call to action so my website can really work for me. I added my EPM program too, so people can go there to register. I also completed an online sales funnel that I had started before EPM. And lastly, I created a lead magnet online quiz that is connected to my funnel. I am super proud of myself for accomplishing all of this in 10 weeks. I had paid literally thousands of dollars and never even came close to this.
So even though I didn't hit 'mission accomplished' in the 10 weeks, I did make my first sale into my program, which is the hardest. And I am fully ready to launch this week, with my program starting on March 1st. I'm excited to see where this will take me, and what I will accomplish next. I can't wait to attend Message to Money Live to learn more. This has been a fabulous experience. The best part is now, I have a model of an amazing, effective program to model my own program after. Thank you SO much! I am grateful to all of the EPM gang!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
My biggest takeaway is that I have EVERYTHING i need to succeed. Everything is in place. What I need to do now is take massive action to get my information out there about just this ONE program. I am ready to launch my online funnel today, and have a plan to chatterbox with anyone and everyone on my contact list, 5 contacts per day, focusing on just this one program. In the past, I have jumped around from one idea to the next, with very little results. I have now embraced "Missus Midlife" as she is ME, and that is my focus. Thank you for helping me get to this point of laser focus, that's really what I needed most!
How did EPM help you become successful?
I ditched my old website (and it's marketing guy), and built my very own heroic website. I've gotten rave reviews from other web developers, so I am super happy about this. Very muduct and my branding was exactlch needed. Also, to develop laser focus on one proy what I needed to do. EPM helped me put more fun into my program, for sure.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I now have a focused mission that I truly believe in. What could be better than that? Absolutely nothing!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Before I had a sporadic message, now I have a clear, focused message that I really believe in and live by myself every day. I am genuine. The focus has been the biggest change, which is huge. I know I am now on a path to reach my goals and way more.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I am most excited about meeting and helping amazing women to better their lives. To help THEM reach Mission Accomplished! I'm also excited about all of the other products that are sure to come.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
You can do more with the right push and support.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I joined EPM with the sole intent to build a specific time management program. EPM helped me see a more clear vision where the time management course became one component of my birds eye view. The result is that I created a leadership course that I have been thinking about for over five years. EPM helped me see my ability to create a signature style program which I can now deliver and continue iterating my way to a bigger foundation.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Taking the learning and feedback from my first delivery and expanding that into my next launch of the program in later 2019.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I enjoyed the different levels of coaching support from Marisa, Don and my coach Samara. There was a lot to choose from, but the value gained from those sessions was incredible. I feel the current levels of delivery in this area was just right.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Stick to Getting Started Choices. Done is better than perfect. Just get your best effort out there, and see what happens. The only way to forward progress is actually moving forward.
How did EPM help you become successful?
It drove me to action. I was familiar with a lot of the ideas in the program. But until EPM, my knowledge never translated into a product I could sell.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life? More than anything, it's just driven me and my partner into action. We stopped thinking too hard, made some Getting Started Choices and hit the ground running. It hasn't been perfect or smooth, but we are learning and growing faster than ever before in this arena. And something about hitting new challenges invigorates us, because we know that's bridging the gap to the next level of our business.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Before, I was getting stuck in the paralysis of analysis. Trying to find the perfect solution before getting started with anything. Now, we're taking more bold action, knowing that's the only way forward.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product? We have such a greater understanding of the market, the audience and this type of (online) delivery method. We know there's a huge audience for our product, so now we're excited to build a larger audience and get this into the hands of more people.
Your Mission Accomplished Story
I found the chatterbox campaign to be successful and manageable for me. I re-titled the health talks I was already giving at local libraries and to meet-up groups. But after I focused everything on diabetes people started signing up for my health coaching program.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Whole new way of looking at how to keep people engaged for me
How did EPM help you become successful?

What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?

When I got disappointed with my success in having clients sign up, I still like watching the videos because they are just so informative. Loved the learning experience for learning itself. Thank you Marisa.

After 4 years of a membership site that had too much on the menu, I wasn’t sure what to do, Nobody was getting involved in it...I can only guess that it was overwhelming. I joined EPM and it really helped shine light on major product. I finally owned my authenticity and my one main product that my clients loved and benefited from the most. Because of that, I decided to lean into it and make it my signature product.
