I was having several challenges with procastination, undecisivenes and perfectionism, I was so frustrated with myself because I was stuck but I had to find away to get past all my chellenges. I joined EPM and learned so much about myself I had to dig deep into why was I procastinating, why was I so undecisive and the hardest one is why does it have to be so perfect and what I learned is that I was afraid of the unknown, I was afraid to make the wrong decision and what I realized at the end was impertfection was ok. What I learned at the very end is that it was through impection that I was going to be able to complete the course and no way around it my time was running out and I just had to keep working through it. The amazing thing I discovered was a lot more CLARITY about how I can really expand my mission to help small business owners. I completed all the modules and realized that it was so much easier than I thought and I was already doing the work and just needed to implement a few tweaks and easily made 2 sales on the last day. What I am most excited about is the clarity of expanding my services in a course for group training so I can educate a lot more small businesses about how to successfully apply for a business loan with a bank. Super excited to share the knowledge to alot more people in the new format that I have just learned in EPM!!!!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Clarity about how I will be able to accomplish my revenue goals and mission.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I am no longer afraid of the unknown or making mistakes. I am ok with good enough and just keep interating as I go.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
I did learn so much about myself. In the new year I set a goal to complete 3 programs that I started by year end. EPM really challenged me in a way that I can hold myself accountable. At the end I reconized my inner critic and just kept pushing through the doubt, fear and undecisiveness I was feeling. Not graduating was not an option. My biggest takeaway was that past the doubt, fear and undecisivenes was CLARITY.
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I am a lot more clear about how I can deliver my services to a broader audience. I have a roadmap and resources.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Suggstion: Maybe this was available and I missed it. It could of been really helpful to see the whole map of all the videos and plan my time better. In a checklist /task list (with boxes next to each one so I can check off) It would be cool if could be printed it out with titles and brief overview of what is covered for each video and time duration for each video and estimated time it would take to complete the worksheets. Just an idea.
I was struggling on how to describe what added value I offer to those who have not had a personal conversation with me. On a website, social media etc. I joined the EPM program and I am still no clearer. The sale I got was because I had a personal conversation, people can hear in my voice and feel from my presence and then they join my online training. Nonetheless I learned a lot from the EPM program.
I was having the problem of how to change from a 1:1 coaching program into a 1:few group style of program. I wasn't sure what to do in relation to moving into a group style of coaching without losing the intimacy and feedback I am used to giving. I joined Experience Product Masterclass and what I learned was that the intimacy and excitement could be easily created through google docs and the software that Marisa uses. So I have created my program in a way that gets my ideal clients super excited to complete their transformation steps and am geared up to sign on 6 new clients in the next few weeks.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Being able to polish my systems of delivery even more to make it an amazing experience for those I serve.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I am now ready to start leveraging my time and increasing my wealth with a clear strategy instead of fumbling from coach to coach to get minimal incremental increases.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That it is easy to stand out from the crowd when you lay everything out visually for your clients (aka bird's eye view). It gives both them and yourself an easy to follow gameplan to stay on track.
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I am going to easily hit my profit goals this year, and the next, and the next, and the next.....
Is there anything else you would like to add?
If the whole family didn't get hit with covid, it would have been much easier :)
I was seeking a step-by-step guide in order to create a course that would reflect my true purpose and passion for helping other women create mirefulfilling lives for themselves. I had already bought other courses (of equal and greater cost) that just weren't getting me to the finish line. I joined EPM 2021. In it, found the missing links to the process of building my course; along with marketing lessons that I am sure will boost my credibility and branding. By executing the lessons , I now know that I will have a product that I can be proud of.
I was struggling to create a program that took my existing kitchen sink macro course into a manageable micro system while making it enjoyable for students. I wasn’t sure how to scale down the content while scaling up student engagement. I joined EPM 2021 and discovered a way to give students the dopamine rush that would see them through to the finish line. I applied the EPM training to narrow the focus of my course to what students find most frustrating on their path to success and, bonus, it is also the thing that will help them see immediate career results. Creating that positive class experience that then translates into life-changing results should open the door to more opportunities for me to help them excel. Honestly, the path has been bumpy. My first webinar had zero sign ups (which is rare for me but understandable all things considered). My second webinar had a tech glitch on the sign up page (totally my fault) and resulted in only 1 sign up. I was bummed and felt like I'd failed them. Then I did the supercharge modules and sent an email campaign to my mailing list - that got the phones ringing. Then I reached out to the ole kitchen sink students with an offer and added a 'bring a friend' option, inspired by the LYM Live offer, and that has taken me to much much more. I still have 4 webinars scheduled to reach my personal 'crazy more' goal of sold out. But even if it pauses here in 'much much more' town, I am so happy with what I have created because of EPM and can't wait to share my course with these students (so many many more than I expected) and help them achieve their goals.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I have an existing live-only course that I was struggling to figure how to convert to hybrid training. This past week I had a breakthrough on how to do it. Not only will it give students the tools to rewatch in the future but also, by taking so much of what is currently covered during class time and shifting it to DIY, I can increase the number of students I work with and decrease the number times I offer a course. This will save me so much time and energy. This truly is my biggest game-changer for my business and my life.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
This will free me up to spend more time with family and other interests while serving even more students and helping them achieve their goals.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Every problem has a resolution. Just keep at it.
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
So much. It will take time for me to get to the jet plane. But I am very optimistic that I can supply something that no one else can in a way that no one else does.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Gratitude. I am so thankful for the support and encouragement from Marisa and my coach Lucas. Sometimes I took him for granted but I know I couldn't have gotten through this without him.
I created this amazing 12-week online experience masterclass to help aspiring home cooks to up their game in the kitchen. While there was a lot of positive feedback about the general idea of such class, the main concern was the time commitment. Those who are interested are not able/willing to commit to a 12-week masterclass with everything else they have going on in their lives and suggested to break down the modules of the class into individual classes that are not time bound. Lesson learned: Chatterboxing and asking people about their wants and needs is essential to create a product that people will actually buy. I wish we would have started that process sooner in EPM, but also understand that we first needed a product in hand before going out and marketing it to the world. I will now adjust my MVP approach, turn each module into an individual class without time restriction. I will also create a free into version for people to get to know me and learn about the WHY of Rock the Kitchen and what’s in it for them taking classes with me. The classes will be offered through Xperiencify. Once I have several classes created, I will offer them individual around the $49 mark and give a price discount for several classes. My goal is to have all classes available by the end of this year, gain some momentum with Rock The Kitchen, gather feedback and testimonials, then offer a Masterclass again with all modules, but no time restriction.
I had been wanting to tell my story for a few years on how much I learned about dementia and Alzheimers from the 10 years I spent caring for my own mother with dementia. I have a truly wonderful success story that is rare to hear and that I feel like I need to share with the world to offer others hope and inspiration. I started writing a book but got stuck so I put it on the shelf and returned my focus to my first love, or first career as a fashion designer and trend consultant, which I ended up closing to devote my time to my mom. I was missing it a lot and continued to do the work even after I had closed and had no paying clients! When I joined EPM I thought I was joining to kick start my fashion business but quickly pivoted, thinking this would be a perfect opportunity to work on my mom's story again as I knew that I needed the support and help that EPM was offering. But teaching a class or putting together a course was not really how I thought I would get her story across.....I had originally intended to start a non profit and gift spiritual retreats to dementia caregivers, as it was this that kept me going at the end of my mom's care when it started to get tough and my mom got in to her 90's. EPM helped me organize my thoughts around what people needed to know and do using the modules and sessions. I put together a step by step plan of all that I had learned first hand and decided to go with the 1:1 coaching idea. During my EPM 12 weeks course, I did more and more research on dementia caregiving courses and found that there were a lot of new ones on the market from just a couple of years ago. I found one course that I felt was great and whose message was very similar to mine. I was happy to know that someone else had very positive experiences with at home dementia care and also believed that the care giver has the power to change the course of the disease. I followed along with EPM quite well and made all or almost all of my milestones on time. Because of creating 2 successful businesses already, some of it came really easy for me. All except the marketing and selling. As a trend consultant I never had to do any marketing because word of mouth did all of that for me. I was sought after and it all seemed easy. As a fashion designer with my own clothing line, there was sales involved of course but the product really sold itself. The creativity was appreciated or it wasn't. So with this product, trying to sell a new mindset on dementia caregiving, felt like crawling up a mountain! I followed the advice of joining FB groups, but the first 4 dementia groups that I joined were so negative and depressing that they left me drowning in toxicity. I would stop for a few days and then try and come back to it. I responded and offered advice only to find someone taking what I said the wrong way and I stopped again. Ready to throw in the towel. But what I learned from this was my ideal customer was not in those groups, already drowning in their own situations because they made a lot of bad decisions or got bad advice in the beginning (my opinion). No, the time to find my ideal customer is in the very beginning when they first get their loved ones diagnosis and are in the learning stage and are open to receiving information that might not be the norm (yet). Their minds have not been set and still have plasticity. Plus they are committed to finding a way to keep their loved one at home for as long as possible. Some people know this intuitively but might lack the skills and knowledge that it takes. I know that I didn't in the very beginning because I was coming from a completely different industry. I just knew that if it had not been for my mother I might not have had such a wonderful life and career. I knew in my heart that I wanted to give back to her as she had given me. What I had absolutely no idea about, is what gifts I would receive by taking this path. This job of caregiving truly turned out to be a job about receiving and was the best job I ever had. (even if the worst paying) So I finished and graduated from EPM without a paying client, or two or three and did not make my investment back. But it's not always about the money but about what we learned in this experience and what we will do going forward. So much learned here....most of all for me....what an MVP is and what a great way to test an idea !

Thank you Marisa for finding your flow and sharing your talents with us! And thanks to your awesome team as well.
I was having trouble looking for sources on how to find my ideal clients, I wasn’t sure what to do nor how to go about getting people enrolled. I joined EPM 2021 and learned the tools and blueprint I needed to get my course launched. I am closer to my launch then I ever been before and some newfound clarity that I feel was missing.
I was having the challenge of literally opening my mouth and talking to people outside the comfort zone of my family and friends! I knew I wanted to share what I have learned through trial and error to help other women but I wasn't sure how to go about creating something that would help them. I sincerely believe I was divinely guided to Marisa and I joined her Experience Product Masterclass! :-) I learned sooooo much from this program! ...how to get my content out of my head and organized and create an engaging program! ...how to make the mind shifts necessary to literally get outside of my shell and share what I have to offer with enthusiasm and confidence and so much more! And you know what it worked! I made my first sale and I know (to quote Marisa) its "Onwards and Upwards" from here! :-)
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The fact that I actually now have a business!
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
EPM has given me the confidence to know that even in times like this (COVID19) I will be more than alright by helping others (which is the best part of it all)!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That with a great plan comes great clarity and with great clarity comes great success!
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
My world has literally opened up! My dreams and desires for my family will be realized!

Marisa is a multi-faceted Godsend! She really sees you! She meets you right where you are whether that is confused, excited, afraid, lost, already excelling or any of the other million places along the path... and she takes you to the next level and beyond!!! Marisa actually personally took the time to talk to me on a free webinar that she gave (The Dopamine Effect)! She saw "me"! Believed in 'me'! and I began to believe in myself! I knew at that moment that I would find a way to be right here in this Amazing EPM Masterclass! ...And here I am! Graduating!!! Thank You Marisa! Miracles & Blessings to you Marisa! Muah! :-)
When I found this program, I naively believed I could replicate T Harv Eker and Egen Pagen's online digital programs. After I started the course, I realized I was deluding myself because I had not really been clear about how my new program would fit into my Master life plan. My goal is to transition out of my current job working 40-50 hours a week to working anywhere in the world working 40 hours a month. My big ah ah was looking for greener grass somewhere else when I realized grass is green where you water and fertilize the grass you are standing on. I went from planning to sell to many to sell to one, my existing network of business education providers. Chatter boxing forced me to 'package' my MVP into something that my network of 160 people could sell for me. So, my one-to-one sales presentation started with my own network leadership. I know now that if they buy, which I know they will this year, I can package my product and market to other existing networks around the United States.
