Your GRADUATION Story
My challenge has been trying to get clear as to why I haven't been able to sell any of my previous offers. While I had an idea, I got more clarity from going through this program. Because I was unclear and frustrated. I am also clear on what my next steps are. My next steps are to locate where my audience is and get in front of them to validate my offer. I learned my audience is not on facebook or linked-in as those groups don't allow any kind of promotion or commenting/hinting about one's product. In other words, very strict rules. Furthermore, they were not talking about the problem I solve in those groups. They were speaking very generally about career. I did find my target market on Reddit, however. But, I'm not allowed to promote in there as I got kicked out of one of those groups. But did get 20 people on my email list from Reddit from the survey. So that was a win. I have connected with someone recently who shares the same audience as I do and I will be getting in front of his audience. And that is win # 2 ! I'll see how things unfold from there.
What's been the biggest change in your business?
Clarity. I know my next steps.
How's EPM and your success impacted your life?
All of the tools and teachings have impacted me in making my product better, concise
What's your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Create an offer people want and it solves an urgent problem. If they don't perceive it as urgent they won't pay. The offer has to be something tangible and that they understand.
I know what direction to go.
Your GRADUATION Story
I was having this challenge not know EXACTLY what my program was going to be about because the parents I spoke to wanted three different things he wrapped into one . At this point I wasn’t sure what to do and what my niche would be . I joined EPM and it was truely at first . Something didn’t click as I was in overwhelm with all the material and technology. I stepped back for about two weeks and then went back . To my surprise I discovered that I was in flow . All the dots somehow started to connect and the I began to understand the concepts . I realized that it’s okay to step back and get your grounding BUT I also didn’t give up . I realized just how resilient I am . I worked my way through all those modules and I was in fire . My coach Missy was helping me to dive deeper and giving great insight . I finished the program and her now I am happy to say that I graduated but more importantly I understand the process now and what it takes systematically to get a program out there . Get it out there but follow the process . Thank you Marisa / Missy and the entire team at Live Your Message .
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
"I was having this challenge if I could get my program out there quickly but confidently when I was new at all of this . I joined EPM and I learned to pace myself and to believe in the process that Marisa was guiding us through . I didn’t overwhelm myself but set achievable daily goals . When I did this I achieved these goals and the few days I didn’t I gave myself grace . I learned how to schedule and measure my progress without being hard on myself . The result that I got was that I accomplished the mission and I couldn’t be happier and more proud of myself .

Your PROVED MY IDEA Story
My problem in the past was to connect with total strangers as I ha don clue what to say and started with the wrong opening sentences. Once I joined EPM I became more knowledgeable and confident as to what to say and how best to connect and sell. I was able to create such a great connection with folks that enabled me to sign up 5 people now and still 2.5 weeks to go before my workshop. I will use the workshop to connect further and upsell to my course.
I learned to pace myself instead of giving myself an overwhelming amount to do and I give myself grace It’s made me feel like a Success Story ! Have mentors that align with you . Marisa structured things and explained things in the way my brain was able to comprehend and retain . It’s possible to make it even better
Thank you Live Your Message Team
I was stuck with how to communicate and package my unique offer and magic with the world. I wasn't sure what to do and was feeling stuck and frustrated feeling like I had so much to offer and yet couldn't find the words to communicate it. I joined EPM and discovered the secret sauce of packaging my programs in a way that truly speaks to my ideal clients deepest desires and was able to fill and sell out my first virtual 2-day retreat experience.

Before EPM I had a burning desire to serve, inspire and change lives AND to have an income that allowed me to continue living indoors. I had been a massage therapist for about 30 years. COVID granted my desire to develop new skill sets and serve more people in a bigger way. In 2013 I had committed to using nutrition as a tool, via network marketing. I totally believed in the efficacy of the products and systems, but when it came to the 'marketing' part, I kept drawing a blank. in 2018 I was certified as a life coach by a great institute. I really got the coaching part - but the marketing training was lost on me.
EPM-2020 - I had a desire to combine my expertise from massage with my expertise from coaching and metaphysics. I wanted a new way to create and deliver my coaching products. Ta-da! Invest $2000, make $2000. Why not? The circles in which I was running were making me dizzy. Time for some new input, new direction. I had signed up for a Coaches Challenge, saw Marisa, got on Live Your Message's mailing list. Along came an email - I and saw the opportunity to make a long time dream come true! I wanted to teach the world the breathe - in a very experiential, transformative way. EPM looked like a possible path. ... Long story short: I signed up.
Every step of the EPM journey has supplied me with pieces missing and practice with what I could not grasp in previous business trainings. Working with cohorts on their own paths, each of us with our challenges of skills, backgrounds and mindsets - and very different products - allowed me a deeper appreciation of the EPM content.
It is true - I did not reach the designated ""Mission Accomplished"" status. It is true that I am re-iterating my product and approach to marketing. It is also true that I have a bigger vision for MY mission and business, and more confidence it is possible.
I am discovering I have new, more direct and confident ways of leading people in groups and individually. I am approaching challenges head on rather than avoiding them. I am almost willing to ask for help!
I walked into EPM-2020 a novice. Round 2 - watch me bloom! I can feel it!

I have a mission! and it's possible!

Your Graduation Story
I have spent several years working for not for profits as director and executive director, investing more time than was valued. My sweet spot was always helping marginalized people, businesses, and communities solve problems and build strategies forward. Working with those without resources and institutions was different sides of the same coin. I worked to bridge the gap between the two communities. My work with non profits were rewarding but increasingly I felt that what I brought to the table wasn't valued. My voice and value seem to diminish although they use my energy and talents to accomplish their own agendas at my expense. When the pandemic hit, I was laid of for a month and then the organization decided to downsize and eliminated my position. It was at this time I decided that I would lean in and work for my self. My mission hasn't changed. I'm just doing the work independently. But the training, one of many services I provide to organizations, I desired to do had to stellar. I was looking to create an experience, not just provide knowledge. This is when I came across EPM. I was ready for it. I signed up thinking that this has got to work. Me and my families future depended on this EPM thing to work out. The experience has been amazing. I learned more about my self. I learned more about my potential clients. And, I'm creating the product I was hoping to create. EPM is exactly what I was looking for to point my feet in the right direction. Although I haven't made a sale yet, I'm close to accomplishing my mission. Thank you Marissa and the entire EPM team for the investment you've made in me. I especially want to thank my coach Debra for her support throughout this process. Until Mission Accomplished - LeRoy
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Everything! The process in creating the mission possible statement and the birds eye view helped crystalize what my product should look like and that it should solve a problem that the customer is wanting to solve rather than what I think they should know.

It help provide a process that helped me get out of my own head and tripping over my own feet. Debra, my coach was extremely valuable in clearing the fog and providing direction.

I have wanted to transition from my corporate career into teaching/healing in the wellbeing area for very long time. Something in me knew that was my purpose or calling but after many stalled attempts, I felt that I may never make it work. I joined EPM and learned so much in just a short space of time. It gave me the mindset, the tools and the supportive tribe to finally launch a course and actually know that I was on track to live my life on purpose.
"I was having trouble knowing the SEQUENCE of when to post content to my social media and audience, I wasn’t sure what to do and really was looking for real accountability to help me gain the confidence to build my visibility & KNOW LIKE AND TRUST path so that people would know me before sharing my offer(s). I joined EPM and and gained some new knowledge on course building.
"
I had had a course idea rolling around in my head for a couple of years and was in the process of writing down ALL of my content ideas as a way to get myself started. But every time I thought about how I was going to deliver it, how I would find people to join, and considered having to use social media to get my message out I would continue to procrastinate. When a massage therapist colleague told me about an information seminar about EPM I decided to join and ended up enrolling for EPM late that night because the course promised to deliver on all the things I was stuck on. I was excited but also terrified. I had committed to finally fulfilling a my next career goal of helping other massage therapists on a larger educational level!

Taking my business from a dream state to the real possibility of success. EPM has been incredibly inspiring and stimulating. It brought a swing into my step knowing that I can reach my ideal clients and truly help them and feel worthy of the income I will earn. I have taken a few courses in the past years to try to get my coaching business off the ground from finding the ideal client to managing the business. EPM is the first course where I felt fully stimulated and supported on all fronts. From the course material and layout to the worksheets and audited milestone docs plus all the extra bonuses that help round out the business. But most importantly I could not have done this without the incredible coaching from Marisa and team. That is one aspect that has been missing from all the other courses and yet it is such a vital part to succeeding. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am reaching out to potential clients with full confidence. I am creating an online coaching/teaching course with a similar structure to EPM to be of utmost support to my clients and therefore their success.
"EPM came at the right time. Although I was struggling financially and exchange rates were not in my favour I have not regretted buying into EPM. 2024 will be my best year.
I liked how EPM is structured and how I was supported by coaches and the use of magic Ainslee. But it is an intense course with some tight deadlines that can put intense pressure on a person if solely focused on the money back guarantee. All I can say is, don't focus on the money back guarantee. Focus on the whole experience of EPM and your MVP and work with the coaches and enjoy the ride. You'll keep your sanity while creating a beautiful product that will take flight."
