***MISSION ACCOMPLISHED***
This week I'm not on the leaderboard, I forgot to click the extra points button. Why? Because I've been distracted and busy reaching mission accomplished and totally forgot about it. I'm a little frustrated with myself but... who cares? I got there, I got to mission accomplished and not even with my EP. How?
I decided to create a weight loss program as my experience product. With this program I could check all the criteria mentioned in module one, unlike the other ones. In the beginning of this training,
I was so happy and pumped that I want to create three products. Then I dropped two, it was two much. These other two were offices to rent (my main source of stable revenu) and web design.
Well, I reached mission accomplished with the offices and thanks to EPM, even if I dropped it as en experience product. I'm using everything that I'm learning here to talk with prospects, people come and stay.
(edit: forgot to tag my great coach Mike Inchalik) #missionaccomplished #mmm
I didn’t really plan to sign up for the EPM Masterclass, but something happened. I had watched the launch videos, felt inspired and excited but didn’t have the money. While I knew I would be missing a great opportunity, I had put it out of my mind.
I think it may have been the day the cart closed, and I got another email from Marisa with another video. Something caused me to watch it and all of a sudden something made me physically jump off my chair (seriously) and knew I had to find a way.
It was one of those moments that you don’t know why you do something. Whether you call it divine guidance, God or the Universe…it was something greater than myself. I am still not sure exactly what happened, but something did.
My husband has always been supportive of my continuing education and I guess he could see the look on my face when I told him about it. We borrowed the money and took the leap. I have taken many courses before, more than I care to admit. I have never experienced a course like this one. It was like a college class on steroids and I loved it. (I am sort of a nerd.)
The FB community has been AWESOME and I am so blessed to be a part of this group. I admit I had a bit of the “imposter syndrome” as I was developing my experience product and wondered if I could really teach this. There are so many others who teach podcasting. I was struggling to identify social proof.
Coach Christine asked me how many people listened to my podcast. She encouraged me to actually take a look at my stats. I had not paid too much attention to stats in the past so I didn’t realize a million people have been listening in over 50 countries in the past 2 years. I was surprised, grateful and honored and to say the least. I had found social proof, thank you Coach Christine!
After having trouble with the timeline for my 4 week program during the holidays, I decided to create a “save your spot” campaign (something I just made up). On Monday, November 21st, I reached mission accomplished by 6:30 pm CT, so I missed the deadline. I surpassed mission accomplished by 9:30 pm CT that night! I am able to pay back what I had borrowed :-)
"Expand Your Reach with Podcasting” masterclass does not begin until January 2, so I am still hoping to get more students and working on the marketing strategies Marisa taught us.
I am forever grateful for this experience! Much gratitude!
I was laid off from my 9 to 5 job last September with no intention of ever going back to a regular "corporate" job again, however, I wasn't sure what I was going to do in place of that. When I saw a webinar for Experience Product Masterclass, I was intrigued. I signed up on the very last day! It was seeing Marisa and feeling her energy during that last day's pajama party that convinced me!
EPM has changed my life. My blog's niche is about finding balance and calm in the middle age so my first product idea was something that would mesh with that. When my first survey results came back with the disappointing news that no one wanted my product, I pivoted and then pivoted again and then a third time. From a retirement planning course, I pivoted into teaching and consulting on technical computing! It took almost 7 weeks to realize that I should have been playing to my Engineer strengths all along!
I found new confidence in myself and my abilities. I'm not only creating a class that has a small tribe waiting for me to launch, I have a BUSINESS! In the past 10 weeks, my confidence level has gone through the roof because I CAN DO THIS! I can build a business, I can create courses that will help people, I can market without feeling sleazy because people want to hear my message. This has been an empowering 10 weeks.
Now I've created a consulting business. Have a small business client that I love. I'm feeding my inner Engineer all the technical stuff it can handle there are more projects and business opportunities than I ever thought possible when I was laid off. I'm really excited to take my business to the next level!
I'm in control of my life, I'm confident and happy and I owe it all to Marisa and EPM!!!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Iterating my way to awesome! I worry less now about the first draft or the first experience that I have with anything. I always felt like I'd failed if I didn't get something right on the first try and now it normal not to be perfect or to even have a good grasp. It was also good to learn that awesome doesn't need to be perfect. Iterate your way to done and fabulous rather than not done. Nothing is ever going to be completely perfect.
How did EPM help you become successful?
EPM taught me to have confidence in myself. I was laid off from my 9 to 5 job last September. I've always had a 9 to 5. So, it was a new world. I'd just started thinking about creating a class and signed up for Thinkific which offered one of Marisa's EPM webinars. I waffled until the last night and it was Marisa's pajama party that convinced me. The fact that she stayed up for us and made it so fun was the final push because she's so real and approachable. Learning to market my ideas, stretch my comfort zone, engage with people who have like values and goals has been an incredible experience. Look at me! I'm launching a business with confidence that I can make this work and I can make money and have a life free from the corporate grind!
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
EPM and the success I found here has made me way more confident in my interactions with people. It has taught me that stretching my boundaries is scary in a good way. I feel like I'm living my life instead of my life living me. I know that I can do anything I want to do with the right mindset and the right attitude. I'm free and I'm me and I'm loving it!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The biggest change is that I HAVE A BUSINESS!! :) I had a 9 to 5 job and a blog. I was bored with the job but it paid well and I had great benefits. The blog was a creative outlet, not boring at all but wasn't paying the bills and frankly sometimes I wasn't sure what to write because the blog is Woo and after taking EPM, I've come to realize that I am SO an Engineer so I've been fighting me nature with what I thought I should be instead of what I am. Now, I've created a consulting business. Have a small business client that I love. I'm feeding my inner Engineer all the technical stuff it can handle. There are more projects and business opportunities than I ever thought possible when I was laid off. EPM was not easy but it was so amazingly worth it in terms of personal growth.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I'm most excited about helping people not be afraid of their computers or the technology behind them. There's so much unnecessary fear out there about the technical side of computing and the internet.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Even if I hadn't made Mission Accomplished, I wouldn't have taken the money back guarantee. I gained SO much value from the first two modules that I felt I'd already gotten my money's worth after the first two weeks of the program.
Your Graduation Story
My biggest takeaway, was that I challenged myself by accepting this EPM mission.?Making a payment agreement to pay the $2.000 - witch was way more that It seem I could afford at that point.?And I had to work my way true my own old pattern, saying: You are not good enough at this, you don’t have what it takes, you have to do things the way other people want (selling out of yourself), and they will only “play” with you if you do it there way (your own way is not good enough) - and thoughts like this…??But I kept on going, working my way true the teachings, and It has never before been so clear to me, what my special gift to the world is: In fact it is, creating a special environment where different kind of adventures can take place and holding the space on workshops, so the participant kan forget there mind fuck - get out of the head and down in the body, experiencing there own core and what there gift is to the world and other people.?And having fun, not taking themself so serious and experiencing that they too can do a lot of stuff, they never thought possible for them to do, along the way.
And I got a lot of new insights and clarity on how to run my business and use the online tools I already got (Easy Me - a Danish system), to run my online workshops, events, client booking, email campaigns, payment and so…
Structure and order has always been a natural gift to me, combined with my creativity (I’m fish with virgin ascendant). So I got confirmation during the EPM, that I am on the right track with the way I organise things.
The EPM has mysteriously tied everything I've heard, read and experienced before together.
This applies both to the online courses, tantra courses, personal and spiritual courses, as well as entrepreneurship and administration courses etc. I have done earlier on.
And I have heard Marisa more that once use expressions, descriptions and wives on people and the world, that is so familiar to me, and in todays world I guess we often can feel alone with this way to look at the world.?So thank you Marisa for doing what you do - you clearly contribute to make this world crazy in a good way, while going to live your dream and having fun. I fore sure had fun celebrating last Saturday with some of my friends…

What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Clearaty and trust in my new product: The Sexgenie Love Ritual™
How did EPM help you become successful?
By challenging me, like I wrote in my Graduation Story and giving me the missing tools and the experience perspective on what I doo.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Gives me inspiration and motivation to keep going.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
My new focus and product: The Sexgenie Love Ritual™, and beeing even more observant on what my customers want and need than before.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Doing my first workshop with the new concept and keeping developing this, to help more people and helping them on the following workshops to go deeper and be more free and happy in there relationships.
By doing this work I look forward to earn more money and get more financial freedom in my life - saving a bit up to my older days (I'm 61)...
Also hoping to be able to join the LA live event next year or so.
OK, so I have 3 clients who paid full price and should have 3 extra who will join at a discount price in exchange of feedback every week. It's not what I dreamt of, but still, not so bad! My little group of 6 people :) Now... I'm super stressed to start on Monday, because I haven't prepared anything yet! :D
Thank you very much EPM for helping me to get out of my comfort zone and starting a group coaching program. I never thought I would dare to do it so quickly, without it being perfectly prepared! New adventure!
I have been trying since 2000 to find a format that would allow me to deliver essential wellness to people who desired it outside of my career job. I have tried for the last 6 years to use different modalities, at a great expense of time and money that nearly bankrupted me, but they had not resulted in any monetary returns for my efforts. As I continued to change my life with acquiring more information on functional health, I became more urgent about my need to fill the gap between the fabulous Functional Dr.'s authentic scientific and accurate information, to the people who need the information (some are suffering or will soon suffer, even though they do not know they need the information). I knew instantly that Marisa was offering me what I really needed. I renegotiated my finances and eagerly committed to Live Your Message. Before EPM, I felt like I was in jail and it broke my heart to not give this vital information to people that I kne would make a significant difference in their lives and health. After I found EPM, I gave a 3 month exit notice. EPM allowed me to begin to be able to be out there in a way that I had never accomplished before. I did struggle because of lack of time, the nature of my topic, my learning and technical challenges, my self doubt, but I persevered by repeating the steps (that I should have followed in the first place), never wanting to give up. I believe that working through my own obstacles (like following the clear directions, not skipping steps, being shy about presenting) can help me assist others to work through theirs. I am relieved to know that the course is there for me to follow for my next projects, so I can "iterate my way to awesome". I am excited that I can now visualize my business expanding as I increase my skills. I am relieved that I have made an initial monetary amount, which is allowing me to continue this learning journey and put more information out there in the next few weeks, and hopeful to affect more lives.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
My biggest takeaway from EPM is the whole process of Living Attraction - to be aware of where the client is in their process, join them in their process (BIG - separating my need for them to get the information from their process), reflect their feelings and process back to them, ask questions about what that means for them, ask questions about what they would like different or better, offer invitations to explore if they want to consider options, suggest options, repeat.
How did EPM help you become successful?
I was able to begin to learn how to format a program in bite size digestible ways to increase the possibility of those who need the information, but have normal resistance to change, hear it as a possibility. I was introduced to how to use online media with much information to develop me to continue to learn, develop, and apply these skills. I increased my confidence, that still gets challenged, and decreasing self-doubt (in all areas).
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I feel more confident and capable in using my new found skills in helping others (personally, and developing groups that want to help others).
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Before EPM, I was working for a Government Agency that restricted what I was allowed to say to clients, no matter what they needed (because of upper and exterior mandates - often defensive, political, system regimented, etc.). I have been trying since 2000 to look for a format to deliver essential wellness to people who desired it. I have tried for the last 6 years to use different modalities, at a great expense of time and money that nearly bankrupted me, but they had not resulted in any monetary returns for my efforts. As I continued to change my life with acquiring more information on functional health, I became more urgent about my need to fill the gap between the Functional Dr's and the people who need the information, as some are suffering or will soon suffer, even though they do not know they need the information. As I quit the job that held me back, I really need to make a living wage as well as delivering life altering information. EPM allowed me to begin to be able to be out there! I can visualize my business expanding as I increase my skills. I have made an initial monetary amount, which is allowing me to continue this learning journey and put more information out there in the next few weeks.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Not only can I use this valuable information for this chosen Beta topic to assist others in owning their life and their health, but on many other valuable topics that can address people's and society needs, and make enough funds for me to survive.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I appreciate Marisa, Don, Christine, Mike, and other member’s contributions. With their words, and voices in my head, I did achieve Mission Accomplished today – even with my website not completed. I am so excited and humbled to being on this journey – with developing and growing as I go. Yesterday, I became a Chairperson for a struggling group in my community called Tapestry of Women with a mandate for intercultural interaction. I am looking forward to practicing what I am learning to support the people in this Town (and surrounding area) that I live in, plus many online. I appreciate you all from my whole heart ~ especially to you Marisa, for stepping out there and Living Your Message!, being there and being available, and for showing others how to do the same.
Your Graduation Story
I'm very grateful that I've completed EPM modules and started implementing most of the strategies learned. About over a year ago, I got to know Marisa through facebook ads. The moment I watched her first introductory video, I was completed hooked on finishing the video. I just love the way Marisa presented herself, her charisma, and the stylish video layout design and the content of course. EPM came just in time when I needed most, I was seriously looking for professional help in my nutrition business. EPM has provided truly amazing support beyond my expectation.
Though I didn't hit mission accomplished in the set date, but I know it won't take me much longer to keep pushing me forward towards the final line.
The first program that I'm on is a professional weight management program. I will be working on getting referral directly from the doctors through chatterboxing, which is the most powerful marketing if I have doctors promoting the program on my behalf. I'll also be advertising within the clinics through flyers and word of mouth. Delivering an imperfect product is not easy, I need to remind myself not to get overwhelmed with too many things at once, as it's better done than not done. I've been planning for the past 3 years of doing what I want to do now, it's time for me to JUST DO IT!
I believe I can FLY!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Having greater confidence in marketing campaign.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Though I haven't launched my program, but I'm confident that with the tools and strategies learned from EPM, I will be able to create a program that get people hooked on it and hit my stretch goals easily.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
EPM has helped me dream big, and take greater challenges with unsinkable spirit, by making progressive steps towards achieving my stretch goals. The lessons that I've learned in EPM are invaluable.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The biggest change in my business is that having a Marisa as a mentor as I look up to her as a good example knowing how I can make a change on my current business structure and advance my business to a higher level with high quality online program elements that will sell.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I've signed up Heroic and Xpericienfy and will be working hard on creating online courses/a membership site that will sell 10-30x greater.
After watching the 3 hr celebration and next steps, I am moving today SOOO fast!!! I have 2 new affiliates to our program, people are advertising big time in their feeds, and I made 2 more sales!! WOW!
I cannot believe myself... moving out of my comfort zone... thanks to the entire EPM group for this personal transformation... moving through the mindfuck sales with ease.... :)
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Wonderful program, wonderful coach Devin, wonderful (and inspiring) Marisa - the biggest takeaway is probably the framework for focus ie keeping me on track and moving toward mission accomplished.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Work in progress but I know the framework of focus for me will ensure that I achieve success with my website and digital marketing business and into my big dream of helping horses.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Health issues have prevented this happening... yet!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Work in progress
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Marketing and then delivering my EP
Your Graduation Story
Taking the boring out of Coaching!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Every form of information product or coaching can be full of energy and joy rather than a plod.
How did EPM help you become successful?
I was already a coach, but EPM has given me the tools and perspective to bring a new level of energy and fun to a process where I was successful but needed a new energy and perspective. I also started another experience product in this course that is the beginning of an online presence. I did a lot of work with this with Coach Don and will take it to completion. This was the product addressed in my Milestone Document. 'How to Take the Anxiety out of Taking Tests'
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
EPM has added a new dimension to almost everything I do. It is as if an 'experensifying' switch was turned on in my head so I see opportunities to include 'wins and experience' in everything I do. I also notice when others are using experience and am enjoying creating a swipe file of ideas to model.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
There is a whole new perspective in my coaching where I frame things in terms of wins, especially for clients who need and respond to that kind of experience. I would say the biggest change is a new and increased energy in my delivery.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I look forward to continuing to create coaching experiences that give a constant sense of success to my clients. I also look forward to finishing and launching my online course and entering the world of online education.
