When I started I didn't have a course but I knew I wanted to help other women who were going through menopause to regain their vitality using the methods I had used successfully. My challenge is while I had delivered live trainings in my job I had not delivered an online course before. I wasn't sure what and how much to write or what membership platform to use and had signed up for some courses before which were not very helpful until I joined EPM which really helped me to be very clear in what my offer was and how was going to offer it to women in the best way to suit them. I did a survey to which I got 150 respondents and while I have not sold any spaces yet I now know I have to form a relationship with my potential clients and add value so instead of pushing on the sales I have decided to continue chatterboxing and giving value for a few more months and then start selling the course when I have communicated and joined and do an email campaign while providing value on social media platforms. This has been a brilliant course and I cant thank Marissa and her team enough for breaking down this process especially for me who still has a full time job to do
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
I actually decided I just wasn't going to graduate or hit Mission Accomplished. I fell befind during the holidays and couldn't see myself getting across the finished line. I was having a hard time getting to a mission statement that worked and I got stuck there. I was tempted to just let it go, but Coach Blue kept encouraging me to keep at it. Finally during our last Monday coaching session with Marisa- I decided to just share what I had without trying to fix it anymore. Marisa offered valuable coaching (as always) and I decided to give it one more try and here we are at Mission Accomplished. I was able to speak to a potential client tonight -on the last night to submit and she said she would love to take the course. Now that my mission is clear - I can't wait to talk to more people.
I was having doubts and feeling overwhelm. I wasn't sure if creating a course was the right thing for me. I joined the Experience Product Masterclass and realized many things that were holding me back can actually be counterproductive to create sth that sells easily. I was able to unmask many of the stories that I tell myself for what they are: excuses that my brain creates because of the fear of the unknown. I opened myself up to the program and graduated with momentum. Progress over perfection!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I now have a MVP version of my course and the concrete steps on how to profit within a few weeks.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I'm feeling more confident and am able to reframe when imposter feelings creep up.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
I'm looking forward to getting those nos. EPM has transformed them from sth scary to just sth that's part of the process of selling anything.
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
With my EP I will be able to serve the people I can actually help and improve their lives.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Coach Emily is amazing!! Under promise and overserve ;). I looked forward to our pod calls every week.
I was having a few keypoints challenges as I was starting my practice: I knew “my stuff,” but didn’t know how to speak about it efficiently to those whom I could serve best, nor did I have a system to decide how to put the essentials into my course container and not teach them everything I know but won’t serve them at that level yet. My mission and know-how burned within me, but I was squirreling around in a loop and not knowing where and how to start. I joined EPM and discovered the tools I needed to move forward in a simplified, streamlined, efficient way and actually start my practice. I followed the step-by-step prompts and now I have built my first pathway to serve impact-driven leaders and, because of my clarity now, I have gotten my first “Yes.”
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
As a visitor to many amazing museums and heritage sites, I was frustrated and disappointed with the souvenirs...not only did they not match the quality of the museum experience, I could see how damage our environment. I joined EPM because I thought it help enhance my skills to change this situation. What I didn't realise was how incredible this course is!! It has given me so much more than I thought possible...the coaching is world class, Marisa is amazing at what she does and the whole course demonstrates her approach. I look forward to continuing my journey with all that I have gained! ????
I was creating a new product in my business when I realized the upcoming EPM could provide me added structure and direction to do this really well. I've created different products but this one felt different. This new product had a crystal clear audience--Survivors of the Covid suffering from "Long Covid" symptoms. And the messaging for the product promised to be equally clear and straightforward. I”d never experienced messaging feeling this crystal clear! It was a relief. With clear messaging in place, the creation of this new product felt so easy and POSSIBLE! In EPM I knew I’d have the support of the excellent EPM team for what could become a "blockbuster product". They were full in! If I did this well, I could even make a significant contribution to the field of Long Covid. I knew the “missing piece” for the Long-Covid clients I'd worked with 1:1, and with the help of EPM, I could scale this success for larger groups AND at a price that was super affordable for many. I knew EPM could help me create a program worthy of being put forth to the public through the media, speaking engagements and by actively responding to the medical world's search for answers beyond medicine. I dived in, listened to the trainings—some several times. I attended all coaching sessions, asked questions every week in my coaching pod where I gleaned so much learning and direction. My Long Covid program strengthened by the week. I reveled in the quality and quantity of support EPM offered me. I need to add here that I was drawn to do this project in memory of my brother, Joe, who lost his life to Covid in the first months of the pandemic. This loss added a layer of confusion for me that I didn't realize was having an impact on me until I was knee deep into the creation of my EPM product. I'm a Quick Start...but at one point recently it became clear : I was doing focused solid work on my program...AND....I was in big-time avoidance of both "quick" AND "start". Through EPM I truly do have an excellent plan in place for launching this program, avenues for outreach to potential clients, a team to help deliver the program, plans for fundraising to allow those access to the program who didn’t have the means to pay the already low $497 investment. So much! In addition, I invited 6 people into EPM and I willingly responded to their many requests for support during the program. With added support THEY reached Mission Accomplished, earning thousands of dollars through EPM--earnings they never thought possible. They were thrilled—and so was I. Yet amidst all this very real positive action and movement.....my paper airplane was ready to fly, but it was just sittin’ on the ground. It was only in the final weeks of EPM I realized my product was fine and ready, but I was the one that now needed attention. Sometimes in business it’s like that. The messenger needs to be as strong as the message. And something very deep within me was being wobbled. The EPM program delivers in an extraordinary way that is thrilling to be part of. The MVP "paper airplane" version of my program is neatly in place ready to be tossed into flight. And now I'm the one that needs attention to be able to step into the complex "field" I’ll be stepping into facilitating this program I’ve created. I work with this inner game piece all the time in other leaders. And today it’s ME. The Long Covid people I’m working with have all lost some degree of physical capacity and there is profound grief around that. Confusion. Fear. Shame. Guilt. Those parts in them are now being touched in me. And with that I've moved into avoidance. I write my success story here, with sincere raves about the EPM program. And I’m genuinely surprised to see....if I’m honest...and I am....that for all I’ve put into this, I’m not even officially ‘graduating’ from the program. I haven’t completed ALL the MVP portions of Module 3. I went numb and into avoidance somewhere towards the close of Module 3 and didn’t even know it, because I was still in action. But now I know that my product is touching places in ME I can’t ignore -- and THIS is part of the process. Often in business it’s like that. So I’m not surprised. I AM proud of my focused efforts during these 3 months stepping up to meet the EPM program. My product is ready to move into flight and ....it will. But the pilot here needs a bit more focused support and THAT support for ME, will make all the difference in the successful delivery of my program. I feel deeply satisfied and grateful for this EPM experience, I rest gently, knowing that Mission Accomplished is soon to come!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Clarity, Focus, Confidence and surrender to what I'm being called to do at this time. I have reason to be applying so many of the things I've learned over the years but never needed before in my business to be sucessful.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I see through the constant nudging of my coach Ed, that I need to think bigger. If I'm going to scale and serve a population that numbers into the thousands and beyond, I need to create a program that others can facilitate, not just me. I have a NEED for a team to support me and my work in a way I could get by without before. WHO not How has become a lesson I'm well on my way to learning. Support is my main unmet need of the past so to have a program like EPM understanding that this is an unmet need for others and support to the nth degree CAN be built into a 'low investment' program like EPM models a new possibility!!!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM? When one mission might not be accomplished, pause, and look to see if in fact another mission HAS been accomplished.....then sit in the satisfaction of THAT!
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I have something that pulls me forth into greater visibility. My training commitment this year that I've already invested in is speaking and presence in the media. The message necessitates I move forward into these.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I will highly recommend to those in Momentum how EPM can support and strengthen their Momentum experience.
I was having the problem of wanting to develop a multiple week online video training course for healthy eating instead of unhealthy dieting. It is an idea I had entertained in my head for almost 2 years. I wasn't sure how to bring it to fruition and felt frustrated in not knowing the best way to organize and get the project done. That's when I joined the Experience Product Masterclass and got lots of help from Marisa and my pod coach Mark, as well as technical direction from the Get it done Friday calls. I listened and completed all the main course modules, as well as several of the optional modules and got the direction and confidence to proceed to 'mission accomplished' in only 12 short weeks. The result is a training course that I can be proud of and now I have a springboard for many more online training projects that have been on the back-burner until now. Thank you EPM!!
Your GRADUATION Story
I previously joined a program to build a kickass funnel, paying 8,500 for it, only to discover to my dismay that funnel building wasn't part of the course experience. I have paid others to build funnels that really didn't achieve much success. As a coach I have been coaching for over ten years. My income has been pretty flat the past two years, just under 100,000. I wanted to do a group coaching program but wasn't able to break into that market. I tried several times with my email list putting it out there.... to no avail. Marissa's depth and crystal clarity helped me from the start of the EPM program. I didn't realize my niche was Heath and Wellness. As a trauma coach, sure I help[ped people with health, but as an adjunct. I didn't realize that was my niche. I had been straddling Soul Purpose, Relationships, and one other niche. No wonder I hadn't hit my stride! After over ten years, I finally had the clarity I had been missing! No one had broken the Mega-niche and micro-niches down as Marissa did. I had heard to develop a narrow but deep niche that meant nothing to me. Can you imagine being a professional coach for ten years and not even being clear on what I did? You can imagine that my clients wondered even more than I. I found the EPM course detailed, with such clarity of what was expected of me in every video. I am launching this week and expect to have at least three sales. I plan to go back over my launch plan and redo the chatter boxing. I had my thirty conversations in a Daughter's of Narcissistic abuse before I got kicked out of the group for giving someone help in the group.
I was stuck. I had so many ideas of a valuable life skills in the area of personal finance that I wanted to share with my son, that would also apply to many of my family, friends, and peers. I wasn't sure what to do and was extremely frustrated for the last 2 years spinning my wheels and never making progress toward this goal of creating a class. I found Marisa's program the Experience Product Master Class, in a random email and decided to join her on a webinar and signed up immediately. Marisa's program focused on implementation, accountability, coaching and community - everything I was looking for but was not available in other programs at her amazing price point. Without Marisa and her amazing team of Coaches, like Mike Inchalik and Sean, I would not have been able to find the confidence to hone my Mission Statement or be given the framework to chatterbox to my network. After this class I am better positioned for success moving forward! The content and coaching are top-notch I would do this again in a heart beat to get super-charged ! Thanks Marisa at EPM and LYM! LOVE YA!!!
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I have a launching point and can hone my message and content to my customers needs. I will focus on what my 1:1 customers need and eventually get to a 1:n model for scaling the teaching.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Confidence and momentum. I have content, a mission, an elevator pitch, and passion to make this succeed.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Progress over perfection. Just take one small step forward. It does not need to be perfect. Just done.
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I have an offer. I just need to find the right customer and make an impact.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Marisa laser coachathon and sidedoor coaching is amazing. I did not need to be in the hotseat, I learned from so many people sharing their struggles with their confidence, timing, and businesses.
I was having challenges articulating and defining the relapse prevent program that I was working on for awhile, I wasn’t sure what to do create the framework and convey the value of it and why it was different. I joined EPM and I learned how to make sessions that I will be providing more compelling and valuable through experiencification and the information on how to create amazing sessions. I followed the advice of coach Ed and I learned the value of nailing the micro-niche and target audience (even though part of me resisted this). The Minimum Viable Product approach was clear and helped me to focus on the right things at the right time. I did not make any sales and have no regrets because the program and everyone involved were superb.
