Wow! I'm celebrating the most incredible wins! My book The Artist's Journey went into pre-order last week and since then I hit #1853 in Amazon Best Seller Rank today!!!
I hit #28 in the super competitive category of Self Help Creativity, up there with books like Big Magic. I'm #1 in Women Writers, #2 in Mixed Media, #2 in Arts & Photography Essays.
I've hit the #1 Hot New Releases in categories such as Creativity & Genius and Painting every day since the book launched! I got a 5 Star Review from Reader's Favorite and the best review from artist/writer as well. Thanks everyone for the support you've given me here. #teamwin
I won't hit my goal by the end of the program either, but that isn't a sad point for me. I have learned SO much! Plus "iterating" has brought me to a whole new idea for my product that never crossed my mind before! So I hope everyone remembers that NOT hitting your goal by the end of the program does NOT equal being a failure. Just keep moving forward because progress DOES equal success!
Thank you to all of my fellow EPMers, Coach Mike, Marisa, Murray and all of the other coaches, tech guru's, behind the scenes team, and anyone else I may have forgotten. While I will not be hitting 'Mission Accomplished' before our official time together comes to a close, I have learned and accomplished more in these last (almost) 10 weeks than I have since launching Fat, Drunk and Fancy in January 2018.
Like I told Coach Mike, it's a matter of iterating at this point. I'm not 100% convinced I have the right EP, but I'm pushing forward with it and just trying to get the words right/understand what will peek the attention of the tribe I know is out there. I feel excited to continue to move forward and wish all of you the best of luck. I presume this group will stay open so that we can continue to follow one another's success. Congratulations, to all! You're killin' it!
I just finished EPM. I'm happy and, at the same time, I feel nostalgic. (already, it's the Portuguese saudade). I became so addicted to this program that I have no idea how to go on without my weekly fix. Thanks Marisa!
I'm already working on my new EPs (using my real products now). Coach Mike Inchalik is helping. Soon I'll be posting here my new missions. I decided to start my weight loss program tonight. I needed some urgency to make people enrol. And why not tonight?
It's a beta version, far from being perfect. I'm building the program while doing this beta (much more human) version. I'm using a Facebook group for content delivery while building it with Thinkific.
Why like this? I needed a date to start. My customers want something human. They want to go to my wellness center (the one with offices to rent) and to do it loosely. It's a way of making people come to the center and discover the other activities. I have to force myself to make the program without the stress of perfection.
The program sold a little more, I have 3 paying customers now and maybe more by the end of the day. Yesterday I got a new office customer, another rent. I like I'm iterating my way to awesome.
This is a long non-structured text just to say thank you, I love being here, I'm so happy to get to know you and I can't hardly wait for M2M. (photos from the office where I'll be tonight starting my Et puis... mince ! weight loss program.)
Well, I finally did it!!!!! Last sale done and Mission Over Accomplished!! - pushed through my comfort zone and sent that last email to my tribe! Someone popped up in paypal this morning.
It's amazing how much more confident you feel when you believe you're developing something that will make a big difference to the lives of your customers, helping them take control of what is always a stressful time. I could not have developed that without this program. Thank you so much for all your help and support, and I wish everonye all the very best
Wow! My calendar is booked with Free Money Karma Diagnosis calls for a week solid!
I'm connecting with some really fantastic entrepreneurs around the world. I just got off of zoom with a healer in Europe who said yes to my 6-week Entrepreneur's Abundance Experience.
And, I've been getting incredible info for each person's unique "Diagnosis" and getting in the moment info to share with the person right during the call! Having a lot of fun with it :-)
Thank you so much Marisa, for the best online course I've ever attended!!! I have never reached the end, nor the middle, of any course before. I have just a tiny bit left of EPM, but I have a full time job aside, so that is my reason. It was truly an amazing trip. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I have learned A LOT!
And I'll be back for more!
All EMP'ers if you missed the last Monday with Marisa Murgatroyd call today be sure to watch the replay - Marisa gave an amazingly encouraging pep talk that is not to be missed - she really pulled back the curtain and shared her heart and passion. Thank you Marisa.
After a "chatterbox" connection call, I was asked if I would present a FB Live to her group of 9,500 women entrepreneurs and she asked if she could JV with me! Woo hoooo! #TeamCoachUwe
I've spent my entire career in instructional design and teaching, and yet, my courses were not selling. I had "launch fatigue," and was losing hope that the online university I wanted to build was a bad idea until this course. EPM gave me an invaluable structured roadmap to online course creating like no other.
For the past year and a half, I've done 6 program launches and none of them met my enrollment expectations. My recent launch using the EPM way, reaped the most students I've attracted to date in one program. I tripled my income because of this course and I'm now really excited to build my online course empire with EPM wisdom in my hip pocket.
The biggest thing I learned was to connect and listen to my clients at a deeper level. This got me out from behind my computer and connected and in relationship with those who will engage with my programs.
I'm aiming for my first 5-figure launch now, and I'm confident that I can do it, thanks to Marisa and the EPM team.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
The structure for creating an experiential course and marketing it.
How did EPM help you become successful?
The road map, the validation and the core elements of making and marketing an online course were steps above what I have been doing. It was a great refinement of strategy, instructional design and how to bring people into the program successfully.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
It has reignited my passion for creating online courses. This latest launch is my 6th launch in a row. I've learned more with each one, but this time, I broke a sound-barrier and NEW people joined my course instead of just my loyal followers. EPM has given me the roadmap and the validation that when using the methods, you can and will be successful.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Adding new people into my community and growing my followers. I have loyal followers who buy almost everything I have, but I need more people to make the programs really successful. With simple strategies like the Chatterbox campaign, I got out from behind my computer and connected with people, this was a game changer for me.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
The instructional design model is right up my ally. I've been in the Learning & Organization Development profession (lastly as the head of training for Starbucks) my entire life and was on the forefront of accelerated learning instructional design in the 90's. Marisa is right on track with how she creates, delivers and promotes courses. I am very grateful to have this reconnection to something I love... helping people truly learn and feel good about it!
