EPM resonated right away and had me believe I might finally make a longstanding dream come true.
I kept up with the Program and earned a tee shirt. But then realized the product I was working on would be my second and not the first.
While working through EPM, I saw a thread running through all I do. And I knew it would in some way be part of any product I create. While professionally, my income is generated elsewhere, I was always drawn to life coaching. It's what the world asks me for.
So, I restarted halfway, deciding not to over think this as usual. Instead, encouraged by words from a Facebook Group member, I went for what feels right. At this late stage, it was impossible to execute all the modules. So I decided to create the Sales Page, which forced me to work with the end in mind. I had to think through each section.
Now that the Sales Page nears completion, I can build the Product, while working 1:1 till it's ready.
Chatterboxing was the only campaign I had time for. I spoke to quite a few people to get a feel for what my product strengths might look like.
EPM is just what I needed to push me forward. Marisa's over delivery and involvement, are amazing. Having a personal coach has been a gift.
Mission Accomplished feels good!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
EPM structure kept me on track. The early stages of the course helped me become completely focused on my unique abilities. I pivoted to a different product half way through the course.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Being in touch with my true strengths gives me the courage to push forward 100%. All the doubts fell away.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
This is only the beginning. But I'm focused now on what I want to do "when I grow up.
"
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Too early to tell. I'm optimistic.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Getting paid for what I happily did for free. Reaching more people.
Your Graduation Story
Just before I registered for EPM, I swore I absolutely would NOT invest in any more training programs until I made some income in my business. But Marisa changed my mind. She convinced me that given the right training, strategies, and support, I could finally create the online "edutainment" business that would provide my clients with the transformation they desire and the income and lifestyle that I need to thrive. Even though I didn't make Mission Accomplished, I did clear on my niche and why I haven't been able to proceed before. That's a HUGE win! I plan to continue to Chatterbox and survey my prospective audience for the next month or two, refine my understanding of their needs and the best possible solutions for their problems, and then begin offering beta programs in April or May.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
How much fun we can have while we're in business!
How did EPM help you become successful?
Marisa not only acts as a role model and an inspiration; her coaching about finding an authentic business and about never giving up was sooooo empowering! And I love that Marisa and Murray are a team and are so committed to their students' success. (And I love that Murray is so obviously an introvert and yet still serves us all so well - there's hope for introverted me!) And Coach Debra was so good at providing feedback and inspiration; never letting us give up on ourselves. Thanks, Marisa and Debra! (I'm sure Don was just as good - I just haven't had time to view his coaching sessions just yet!)
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
By designing well designed and experiencial courses, I will train both my clients and myself to design successful lifestyle businesses.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I shifted my audience from corporate employees and leaders to individuals and solo entrepreneurs.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I am really looking forward to creating the program and creating success for my clients and for myself.
I had been in business since 2005 always on the side, always in the shadows, working full time and doing my business in my "Spare Time". I wasn’t sure what to do to move my part time hustle to my full time joy, even though that is what I teach others to do. I joined EPM and realized that practicing what I preach is my key yet success. I created a pilot and sold 10 spots in it and am never looking back. Over $8,000 later I now have a plan to build even greater success by being exactly who I am, doing exactly what I want to be doing and helping others to do the same.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That with simple changes I can make what I do such a better experience for my clients.
How did EPM help you become successful?
EPM helped me become successful by laying out a simple plan for success.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I now KNOW I can take care of myself fully with my work.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Before I was just doing this on the side and now I know I can do this and fully support myself.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I am most excited about getting better and better at this and making the experience for my clients unforgettable.
Your Graduation Story
I can hardly believe 12 weeks went by so fast! As I looked back at all the work I did, I was pretty excited. I have gone through a number of programs and trainings and most of them I never completed. But this time around, it was all hands on deck! At times, I doubted myself and resisted doing some of the work, but I would get back and move full speed ahead. What got me to keep moving was the coaching calls and the Facebook support. I know without this support, I would have more than likely stopped at some point and never finished. I've never met anyone like Marisa, who is caring, thoughtful, kind, smart and intuitive. I just love her and what's she's all about. I'm totally grateful and blessed to have been introduced to her by Steve Olsher and I'm so grateful to him. Thanks EPM creators, team members and students for rocking the way of success for me.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Consistent steps cab become a building block for success. Just keep going, no matter what's going on in my life. Things will happen and even if I get off track, get back on and keep going.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Be reaching out to talk with my target niche, really helped me to see I have a service/product that is needed and wanted in the market place. And also, staying the course, even if things seemed scary and over my head, just keep going. Marisa would say so often, "You got this!". Those words helped me a lot.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I am courageous when it comes to talking about what I'm up to in life, without apology. I see so much clearer, that path that I am on is a good one and will serve many.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
How I approach people. My thoughts are not about making a sale, but seeing if I can serve from the core of who I am.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Refining and serving those moms that are waiting for me to show up and support them in their walk of life.
It was great to submit Mission Accomplished!! I had great results selling my product from the stage for $997 and filled the room with 30 people via FB, email and chatterbox!
Had my first ever 20K+ ????month!!! My first ever significant sales with help of EPM!I now more fully understand the product development process. This course was worth every penny paid. I have great confidence in and give hugs and kisses to Marisa and her great Team. I know I'll be back for further studies! How are you all doing?
I am a miracle mentor and so I wanted nothing less than a miracle when I found Marisa. I had been working on a product, The Miracle Meeting Place for over two years and although the membership site itself was awesome and my small beta community was thriving I didn't know how to effectlely get the word out about it. The funnel leading to the membership site was broken and after continual IT challenges, I was losing my enthusiasm for the project. I was beginning to resign myself to helping just a handful of people beocme miracle workers. Not very miraculous! :)
Then EPM came along, at exactly the right time... I have to say, it is near impossible to lose hope in or enthusiam for any online project you are engaged in while you are anywhere near Marisa Murgatroyd. She and her team know exactly how to cut through any online inertia and don't let you forget it! Day after day we were offered not only valuable insights but the step-by-step details needed to implement it all. During the EPM course I regained my self-confidence to put myself out there in a big way... I far surpassed my intial monetary goal just two weeks into the class using Marissa's "Chatterbox" strategy and so then could relax and begin to implement what I felt was most specifically valuable to me from the unbeleivably generous amount of information that was imparted in EPM each and every day. My membership site is now on firm footing and I am attracting a steady stream of new clinets into a forum where "we expect miracles, so miracles happen."
Your Graduation Story
I am glad I took this course. I really thrive on deadlines and seeing progress and social support. I am excited to put this in place for my students to come! I made progress in clarifying my course title, marketing messages, target audience, and marketing strategy.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Iterate my way to awesome! :D
How did EPM help you become successful?
I am implementing more than ever. I love the help with numbers: How many people I need to reach with each method to make x number of sales. Coaching to refine my messaging and reinforce what I am thinking or troubleshoot my strategy was great. Thanks Mike and Marisa!
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I am traveling toward a functional business and income with more sure-footedness.
I feel confident to go forward with my EPM course details worked out and continue to implement my marketing campaign.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
More consistent action in one direction.
Following through with getting online technologies set up.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Putting in the work in faith that iterating my way to awesome is the best and only path! No shortcuts are needed, just continued progress daily. I am enjoying using Heroic for faster, easier and prettier web design.
That people may get better results because of the fun of Xperiencifying! Thanks Marisa!
There was a time back there that I had no way forward. I had everything a girl could wish for, a transforming life experience, a book, a Tedx Talk and a national sold-out speaking tour, but nothing underpinning it I could build a future on. Now I have absolute clarity on who I am, what I can do and why I want to do it. I understand the terrain I have to cross, and know I can do that one step at a time from here on in, and build the way as I walk it. ?
Throughout the 10 weeks I was exhaustingly ill, and found completing the course modules impossible to keep up at the rate delivered alongside my life at it is currently. I realised this was a personal pattern, a focus on working hard that resulted in burnout; and so I reassessed my approach, and habits, and, instead of copying the program, I modelled the thinking. ?
This wasn't just enough to get me to mission accomplished, with three products being tested out and in process, it profoundly changed my mindset, my self-confidence, and my ability to convey my worth. It also impacted my knowledge of how much value I bring to others lives, I am excited by that. I don’t think I’ve begun to feel the full impact yet, I look forward to letting this year transform me.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That power of a community for feedback and encouragement. The power of observing other difficulties and using them to understand what to give to give them what they want.
How did EPM help you become successful?
I didn't make as much use of the training and the coach as I would like but, EPM is an intense, motivating and engaging program that really keeps you accountable and holds your attention. It gave me and end-to-end picture and the thinking to model.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I wanted, and needed, proof of concept. I have never sold a service product or structured a course, I now have the foundation to do this. I tried other courses on my journey to learn this, and none have set the foundation for the end-to-end process the way EPM has. From here I can move forward, and always come back to it to iterate. I am one of those people who need to see the big picture and then I can apply it to my thinking.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I have gone from stuck, in the dark and unschooled to having a way forward, and clients paying me what I am worth. I have gone from not having any framework for a service business, underpinning my inspirational and motivational platform, to having one - it is as simple as that.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I am excited to make a real difference in other people's lives, people who I want to be empowered to shape the kind of world I want to live in and, I am excited to grow my worth.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I love the knowing. The knowing that I have the foundation for a way forward. The knowing that I can do it.
Your Graduation Story
While I have been creating my experience product, an 8 week program, I have been filling my 6 month program which took a lot more of my time than expected. I have implemented a lot of what I have learned in my 1:1 coaching program to help my clients get a lot more out of the program. I learned so much about copywriting which has also helped me with nurturing my list. My coach Debra was amazing, professional and supportive. I loved the program and plan to launch my 8 week program toward the end of February. I am sure I will reach my minimum goal of $2,000.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
There are simple ways to ensure my clients stay engaged, supported and win.

I hit Mission Accomplished last night! 10 new students in my beta progrm that begins in about 2 hours! I'm super stoked and nervous too! But mostly I'm excited and in awe. I've always wanted to lead an online program teaching folks to master their money, so I'm over the moon it' actually happening! Thanks especially to Marisa and Matthew and my fellow EMPers!
