Your Graduation Story
Interestingly, my biggest takeaway from EPM is my personal growth. I have learned a lot from Marisa's mindset training (apart from business training) within EPM and will keep striving without feeling defeated. When I succeed to make what I've learned in EPM work in my business and make some sales, I'll go to the next level and join the Mentorship program!

What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
My personal growth, specifically the self-trust I'm building to keep promises to myself.

How did EPM help you become successful?
As Marisa quoted Tony Robbins about success being 80% mindset and 20% strategy, I know I have the 80%, plus the business stuff I learned from EPM it amounts to 100%! I feel like I can keep striving and success will be inevitable.

How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
The self-trust I am building makes me more confident in keep going UNTIL I build my business.

What has been the biggest change in your business?
Consistency. Now I'm focused to take consistent actions of building this product and keep trying until I succeed.

What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I'm planning to try using Xperiencify to sell my product – making it a hybrid video and 1:1 coaching program! I'm also excited about going to M2M and joining the Mentorship program when I make money from what I learned in EPM!

MY EPM STORY

I am so excited to teach my first live online class in 3 weeks called Dolphins of Atlantis: Multidimensional Dolphin Journeys! Here’s my story…

I have been working on creating an online class for almost a year. I have taken several online classes to teach myself how to do it and have 10 ideas for classes in various stages of development, but could not pull it all together. I was paralyzed by perfectionism, resistance and self-doubt.

I love teaching and coaching to live audiences and have had success with many groups over the past 20 years in my healing and coaching practice. I really enjoy the personal connection with my students and clients and do not wish to let that go. I love seeing the joy on my clients’ faces when they see and feel their true essence for the first time! And… I want to reach a bigger audience. I know if I am to help others embody their magnificence, I need to live that. Staying small and hiding is not an option.

I read about Marisa’s Experience Product and immediately knew I wanted to create one for my healing and coaching business. I remember thinking, “This is how I taught elementary school, gifted education students, and college students in my Education Methods classes.

This is how I teach healing and coaching classes! I engage my clients and students in experiences that ‘show’ them what they are capable of rather than throwing out a lot of information for them to digest. This is what I want to do with my online programs!”

The EPM masterclass was the piece I needed to overcome my reluctance to let go of teaching classes live in person and to pull everything together that I needed to make it really happen. I am so excited to teach my first live online class in 3 weeks!

I love the idea of teaching the class live on Zoom and having the capability to reach a larger audience and still engage my students with group coaching, Q & A, and group meditation and healing experiences. And, my students will have the videos available to download and listen to as often as they wish.

The added ideas to gameify the class adds to the appeal and fun. It’s got to be fun in my book. Learning and life should be celebrated, should bring joy!

Thank you, Marisa for a fun class filled with challenge, celebration, excitement, and loads of practical ideas to make it all happen! What fantastic value and generous sharing of your expertise. I can’t wait to work again with you!

Your Graduation Story
I spent thousands of dollars on how-to courses that led to more questions than answers or to answers better suited to non-fiction authors than to me.
One thing had become clear, though. I needed to build a business. The questions was, what kind of business?
If it was to be a business I would love, then I couldn't go back to the classroom, nor could I make an online course like those I'd taken, heavy and slow or confusing. I didn't want people to take a course from me and not get the point of it or never finish.
It needed to be direct, concise and more importantly, it had to be meaningful, in fact life-changing.
From the very first bonus module of the Experience Product Masterclass, I learned how to apply my unique talents and skills in self-expression to coaching those who would benefit most from it through stage presence.
It's a scary thing to go into a business for the first time, especially without knowing everything before beginning. But I learned from Marisa and her wonderful coaching crew, to ""just get started, then iterate your way to awesome.""
There is an old adage that says, ""experience is the best teacher."" With an Experience Product, that saying takes on a whole new meaning for success.
Thanks, Marisa.

I love being on stage, connecting with an audience. When I see and hear someone shake when they have to do this... when I see them go pale and forget to breathe, it makes me cry. It makes me hold my breath and want to mentally rescue them. My hands shake with theirs and my mouth goes dry.
I have helped dozens overcome their fear of presentations all the way back to the fourth grade, when a girl in my class was so frightened to recite a poem, she panicked and ran from the room.
Ever since then I’ve had a desire to help people overcome their fear of speaking.
Speaking can and should be fun. And I want to help especially entrepreneurs who would most benefit by it, get to a place of confidence, where they can have fun speaking.
THEN I would be doing something I LOVE DOING.

What has been the biggest change in your business?
I wasn't in business before this.

What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I am most excited to find my first perfect student or even the first five and seeing them to success as speakers or presenters in whatever platform they'd prefer.

It's happening. People are responding. I am coming out of the MMF cloud and just got a shot of excitement to push me through.

Doors closed. Getting ready to kick things off and dig into the real work. Sold 3 spots. Didn’t exactly hit my goal but so proud of myself.

When I first heard Marisa speak online, I was immediately drawn to her. I knew she was sharing information that would help me revive my healthcare training program. The message that kept floating in my head was, this is another person promoting her online business. You have been down this road before, along with a track record of money spent and nothing to show for it. I came to EPM with an established business in place that was operating manually in a technological world. But there was something about Marisa’s message that was driving me. I then started doing my due diligence on her and the EPM program. I made contact with people who had gone through her program, I listen to all the promotional videos and read the emails. I knew my business needed something and what Marisa was saying about how to present your business was my missing link.

Before EPM I did not have a system or a marketing plan, which had been holding me back and stopping my success for years. I had taught my program successfully off line for about 17 years. Entering the online world with my business was difficult and challenging because I didn’t understand the language or the process. Despite not knowing how to market online, I had a website and the right key words that allowed people to find me and enroll in my program. This is the only online promotion I did for the past 9 years, which will soon change because of EPM.

I also had a personal struggle and challenge of limited income because I didn’t know how to market online to generate students for a steady revenue. To add to that I didn’t know how to price my program to get the right students I really wanted to teach. My price was on the low end giving away too much information and resources that literately was given to students for free because I didn’t know how to price my course. Having gone through EPM I now know how to price my course and how to give information relevant to the existing training so you can expand the training to offer additional supportive course training programs for a fee. Giving less but transformational material creates your tribe, who support and promote you.

Another major problem I had in relationship to having an online business was being overwhelmed with all the shinny objects of tools and programs you need for your online business. This had been a money drainer for me in the past that caused me to be more suspicious of online programs and products that had good sales hype and didn’t produce stated results. Thanks to Don Crowther and his training I was pleased to find out that I did have most of the programs he suggested and truly appreciated the free and low cost tools you could use to get started. His suggestion of starting with the basic as you build your financial base before getting more advance tools was valuable advice. Just this training alone helped me to expand my limited self-taught internet skills into being able to operate a cost effective and efficiently running online training program.

The fact that my funds were limited and in my mind I didn’t have the funds to enroll in EPM. There was something about EPM that I needed, so I listened to the inner voice that said, “when the student is ready the teacher will appear”. Marisa was my teacher and I was ready to learn and accept the mission of earning while I learn. This was the best business decision I have made despite all my fears and anxiety. I started with a skeleton business framework and EPM put the skin on my business by giving me a workable system with resources, a promotion and marketing strategy I can identify with and feel good about in addition to being able to price my programs to create a “win-win” opportunity for everyone.

I've just finished my first online course, when I've heard about the EPM... and it clicked :) I knew I hadn't much experience in the field of online courses, but my first course showed me that despite of how great the content is and how much can help other people there is still the missing piece causing the lost of student's motivation. I didn't know at that time what it could be but I knew I had to find it before I release another online course. Otherwise putting my effort into a course that can benefically serve only a few percenteges of students, has no sense for me.

So for me it was the best time for EPM and I'm glad I found your program at this stage of my online adventure ;)

I was in the good position because I've already had a whole list of people waiting for second edition of my course so I didn't have to do a lot of marketing - the simple information was enough :)

But I've changed alot when it comes to my programm structure, I've rethinked the whole process and added many things to create engaging experience for my students and I'm really excited about the second edition of my course. Although the name of the course and the content are the same I feel it's totally different course - a lot better! I can't wait to see how people react on that kind of experience! :)

What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
1. the course creation methodology 2. marketing attitude and a model of experienced product marketing campaigns - for my next courses

How did EPM help you become successful?
After my first online course I knew there's something wrong and I didn't know what to do to fix it. Now I have a lot more clarity in this field and I believe that online courses are the way for my cooperation with others.

How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I'm not sure right now... we will see :)

What has been the biggest change in your business?
After my first online experience I didn't know whether I still want to create online courses. I was demotivated. I knew by my head that it is a great opportunity and that by online courses I can help a lot of people. But my heart felt it has no sense, because many people didn't finish my first course. So it seemed like my work didn't have a lot of sense. Now I know what to do to make an online course engaging and I have a lot of ideas for next courses :)

What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I can't wait to see students' reaction and their successes :D

Wow! I just had my first coaching call with my beta group and what a feedback I had! "These exercises help me tremendously!" I'm so so so happy because I see so clearly how it all arises from EPM and Marisa's great teaching! When I can create my whole business like that... oooooh.... Waiting for the mentorship program!

I first "met" Marisa online in 2014. I signed up for her Hidden Story Power. That was the first time I purchased any kind of online course. The next 2 and a half years, I took countless webinars and signed up for more courses.

When I stumbled upon Marisa's EPM (probably through email since I was on her list), I was in the middle of designing an online course of my own. I was really intrigued by the ways I could design my course in such a way to make it more of an experience product and less of an information product, and with the guarantee Marisa offered, I HAD to find a way to make it work!

I'm the founder of Writers Who Run and launched my first "experience product" (though I didn't call it that) this past August - a live, in-person 1:1 retreat, with 12 attendees, called the Writers Who Run Retreat, but I LOST MONEY.

Despite having lost thousands of dollars (seriously, NO PROFIT), I learned a lot and I am already planning my second one, for June 2017. Also, one person who attended in 2016 already signed up for 2017.

My online course was the idea I had to feed into my retreat to create a funnel and "make money while I sleep." Kind of hard to do when you don't have the course built out and no idea how to market it. So I signed up for EPM! Marisa says you have to learn to make money while awake first. I totally agree.

The idea is so that I can quit my day job and have more time to write. This has been my goal for the last 7 years. And it's going to happen! The thing is, if I never make money, I'll never be able to quit my day job. So, I knew I had to take the plunge and do this because I'm worth it. I have every expectation in the universe that I'll be successful.

While taking this course, I have had so many insights and breakthroughs. Lots of ways to implement my course, Run With Your Writing, an 8-week online course, and experiencify it. I'm even creating a SECOND course, Write Like An Author. It's going to be awesome!!! My coach says I have a GREAT funnel. That gave me confidence to keep going.

I have 21 hours and 30 minutes left until the countdown timer ends. I have 2 webinars scheduled this week, even though it's Thanksgiving, and 33 people signed up to attend. I haven't made any money yet, but I WILL! Still feeling hopeful. Will update more results later.

Mission accomplished? Still being fulfilled. Keep on keepin' on...

Marissa Marin

Your Graduation Story
We, Carolyn Mosier and me, spend the first 8 weeks of EPM focusing on a 6-week program to help people succeed when taking online course programs. On week 9 we decided to chance direction, we went for a much more simple approach which is an online workshop for group tapping sessions. We haven't launched yet, we got stuck in the marketing and technical side of it, we wanted to do it perfectly. Then, finally, we understood that done is better than perfect, and decided not to run so hard, we were too tired and couldn't think clearly. We understood that while EPM timeline may work for most, it didn't work for us. So we stopped stressing ourselves, still knowing that we will hit mission accomplished, just not in 12 weeks. And that's ok.

What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That we got this! What we don't know we can learn, creating and launching a program can be fun for us and for the students! And, very important, I am not scared of marketing anymore!!!

How did EPM help you become successful?
I consider myself successful, even before EPM. But now I am even more successful because I've stepped out of my comfort zone knowing that I can do this. So, I've gained more confidence, and that equals success!

How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
So many possibilities opened up, now my mind is busy thinking about products and the different ways I can market. I am also using tools I didn't use before, not only for my business but for my personal life too. Mindmaps, cloud storage, survey tools.

What has been the biggest change in your business?
For now it is the implementing of new tools and the ways I approach my clients. I know things will keep changing in the future, I know EPM won't stop impacting my life and my business.

What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
The amazing possibilities for the future! I know we will expand in ways we can't even imagine right now.
