Your Graduation Story
I came to EPM after a recent pivot in my business. I wasn't happy with who I was serving and decided to make a switch. Of course, that meant re-building everything from scratch. I wasn't super clear about who exactly I wanted to serve and didn't have a specific set of services in mind.
EPM served as the catalyst to own my new direction and get everything set up. I launched my new site and crafted a signature service around my unique Audience Conversion Method. I also set up all the new pages I needed, including a new scheduler, new emails and new landing page with my new branding/business name.
EPM helped me jumpstart my new direction and really gain clarity on what I wanted to offer. Using Chatterbox, it also helped me start raising awareness of my new direction. As I didn't have a network in my new niche, I joined several groups and started interacting while actively looking for new connections.
Since launching my new site and starting to talk about my new direction, I've doubled my email list. It hadn't grown except by a random subscriber here and there since the start of my business.
I’d always wanted to create a course and had it on the backburner for two years. Now, I have a 1-to-1 service offering that I can see turning into a course after a few months, and a process to do this. EPM gave me the direction and motivation to start getting out there and talking about my new niche. I haven't sold my service yet, but I feel confident now when talking about it and am starting to gain momentum with all the people I've met. I will reach Mission Accomplished, it just may be a little while. The clarity, foundation and systems to create my course in the future were all worth it!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Clarity around how to phrase what I do and who I serve.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Kickstart my new niche and raising awareness. I feel I've gained a lot of traction in a short period of time that would've taken months on my own.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I feel more confident when talking about what I do and excited about my new direction and all the people I'll be able to help.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The new niche is solid now. I've got all the assets live and was even invited to become a collaborator in a giveaway for my ideal audience, which will result in rapid growth and more opportunity for me. (Goes live end of FEB!)
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
Knowing exactly what the experience will look like and what I need to do to prepare. Even though I haven't delivered it yet, I know that I can make a difference for people and how it will happen. I'm excited to use this to help more people.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
EPM has given me the confidence and structure to truly design a business that I can be proud of. I realized I love taking action in my business. Previously I was great at thinking and feeling what I wanted, now I actually DO things. I actually see results! EPM helped me fine-tune what I wanted to create and why - I no longer vacillated back and forth between ideas.
I believe this course opened the door to the possibilities of what I can achieve personally and professionally. Definitely an added bonus. Here I thought I was just going to learn about course creation. To my surprise, I received, happily and whole-heartedly, so, so much more. I am grateful beyond words.
How did EPM help you become successful?
I wanted to create a course for a REALLY long time. I seriously would have never done it without all the components of EPM - I was blown away with all the training, bonuses, and the overall experiencification aspects of the course (the XPs were great motivators and kept me on track, driving forward). Mondays with Marisa were motivating and inspiring. They helped me see that I was not alone in my struggles and celebrations.
Coach Samara was a patient and knowledgeable guide always providing encouragement and enthusiasm, which really meant a lot to me. Tech has always been an excuse and now, I created my first website - thanks to Don, Christine, and Murray! I can hardly recognize my self and my business.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Participating in EPM presented me with a business challenge yet armed me with all the tools I needed to meet that challenge. I now carry this experience with me in all endeavors. I now know all I need is support, tools, a little information, and a lot of patience. With those things anything is possible.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I think the biggest change in my business would have to be ME. As an entrepreneur, without a business partner, I am solely responsible and accountable in my business. My results, or lack of results, are a direct correlation to my decisions and efforts.
Before I had so many excuses of why I could not create a digital course and launch it. I was frustrated and embarrassed by tech and lack of business momentum.
Now I love and enjoy my business, which is making all the difference. I have been more visible and vocal, and financially profitable.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I am most excited about helping and working with the amazing entrepreneurs that participate in my course. I also look forward to the future versions of my course. Like EPM, I intend to continue to make changes to help participants reach their goals, dreams, and desires for their business.

Holy cow! Mind, BLOWN! I'm an information marketer and have bought into the "Thud" formula you mentioned. It worked well five years ago but my results have been dwindling over the past few years. And from the beginning, even when I had hundreds of people buying my information programs, I know their consumption and success rates were very low. NOW I understand why.
Your training resonates so deeply with me I was in tears watching this today. I want to start giving my clients those experiences through my valuable information that will create the RESULTS they crave. Your free content videos are amazing and I've gotten so much out of this first 80+ minutes of training.
Honestly, I rarely (I might even go so far as to say NEVER) watch a free video series all the way from start to finish, especially if it's over about 15 minutes long. I'm so glad you encouraged me to watch all the way to the end on video #1. That was great advice.
I'm excited about the long list of things I've already committed to change based on what I learned so far and can't wait for the next two videos and next steps. Let's do this!
Your Graduation Story
I started EPM having written the book, The Authorities which is going up in price in the US and selling in the UK and Emirates for $100. I am a featured author in the book, Rock Stars that made # 1 on Amazon--- also co-authored the #1 amazon seller, Fight for Your Dreams with Les Brown. I am working on my 4th book which I know will be awesome for the content answers so many questions that were not answered when I went to school, and I don't find in any other source. I am not even marketing my books nor do I have a website. Although it is through The EPM program that I developed the clarity to begin to create a website thus I joined the WebsiteATM.
Through the EPM process I developed my skills to develop a course that is more engaging and user friendly while at the same time improving the way I developed the content of my upcoming book. Essentially killing two birds with one stone. I have been on this journey for a very long time, took courses from many of the people in the transformation industry which are very familiar to most trying to make a difference by manifesting their dream. I can say with complete joy and passion this is the most outstanding program. It has all of the elements, support and wisdom. All of the pieces to get mission accomplished while at home on the computer, and not going into debt attending the top university and still trying to figure out what to do with that expensive education after graduation.
I am a long distance runner, in the midst of writing my upcoming book, which my publisher is waiting for me to complete. So I can't stop writing my book, but this program is giving me the tools to make my book and future talks more engaging because I will consider more than ever who I am trying to reach. I was focusing on my discoveries which were awesome, but now I seek to understand with each discovery, how I can reach the people who want to know what I have to offer. I am now more than ever a great Chatterboxer. And take in every nuance of feedback, so I become increasingly clear in my delivery.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Always get feedback by being engaged with my content to see how I can master my delivery to get those who resonate, want more.
How did EPM help you become successful?
First I want to say with the greatest humility and gratitude, I have the gift of finding the best and this is what this entire experience is. I learned so much more about myself. The more I understand me, the more people I can understand how to reach.I strengthened my foundation and I even learned and got more clarity about my content and the results I wanted my audience to achieve. Now I can take my audience step by step up the Pyramid. I was starting at the top of the Pyramid with my knowledge and had difficulty seeing why many could not see or understand what I was presenting even though it took me a long time to decode the mysteries and see how they could provide more insight into the knowledge and use of the words we use everyday that shape our perception. I am already a winner, now I just want to reach more people, leave my children a legacy and return to Egypt and meet the family of the Wisdom Teacher that gave me the first clue to start this journey more than 25 years ago and present them with my book that their father inspired.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I grew leaps and bounds, and can now understand that my content is not for everyone. And that it really is for a specific audience. I stepped back and realized who developed the Egyptian language, the priest and the merchants, and then different levels of population used it. What is simple and fascinating to me confuses many people and I just could not understand why, now I can accept this for I see how smart I am, but was stupid in this inability to understand. Now I am at peace and will continue to deliver my content with more awareness while considering my audience.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Focusing on and finding my target audience. And always be aware and seek feedback, and consider it in my planning.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
The shift in my mindset developed through this experience. I found the clarity and tools to continue working on a terrific program. And the confirmation from this program to have regularly scheduled classes and opportunities to sharpen my content and the delivery.
I listened to the 3 webinars of Marisa and the launching day. I had reservations because I never had done a program like this one and was afraid it was another scam to get my money.
But I could sense her sincerity and my soul said yes, although my ego mind was battling me because of the investment. OMG what a ride this program has been. I have never been so challenged not only by all the materials I had to listen to, digest and follow up with action!
This program challenged and forced me to do the work, to change my perceptions/belief and to dig deep into myself of what I was going to create and how. It challenged my inner being and mindset to put things on paper, pass it by my Coach and being challenged by my Coach to rewrite and rewrite and rewrite.
It sometimes aggravated the shit out of me as to why this was so challenging. And with my perfection tendency I pushed myself way too hard and got sick from the stress I put on myself. I never put so much time, effort and thoughts into a program!
It definitely felt like a marathon and was exhausting in many ways.
But I am so glad and grateful I did , because it has changed my understanding, my approach and implementation to reach my goals. I really feel I have a new toolbox and practical applications to reach my tribe!!
Although I didn't reach my goal of $2000,- , I know I gained so many new skills to make 2019 my best year ever to go out and Live My Message and reach My Tribe. I am very excited to move forward with all that I learned and mastered.
Marisa's program it was worth every dime and much, much, much more!! It really helps you to get Clarity, Amazing Coaching and Support I have never experienced before in any program!
If you are looking for a change in getting and reaching clients this is a Game Changer!!
Small Business Consultant at Lead Me To Profit
Thank you Marisa. Watching your video, I was able to express in words what my mission is. I went to so many marketing seminars and never ever found anybody or any program able to help me to define my mission. I have been helping my clients as part of my services but now I want to expand my services into this area. I have seen businesses closing because of productivity problems, and bad management habits, causing to close the business and losing everything.
As I said before, my Mission: To help my small business clients to have productive and profitable businesses by improving their businesses control and management skills

Encouraged my professionalism and spunk

What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
That I Can and I Will iterate it to Awesome
I was having the challenge of coming up with words that would capture the essence of who I serve and what the transformation people get from working with me so I could feel confident and authentically me in making compelling offers. See, each time I would go to launch a product on-line, I would come up with an excuse, being the perfectionist that I am, not to go through with it.
I joined Marisa's EPM Masterclass and I struggled mightily, to come up with a Mission that grounded my super power/secret sauce. I am so thankful to Marisa who so brilliantly helped me nail it down! Most surprising is the Deja vu feeling I had crafting the Bird's Eye View, when Coach Uwe instructed me to remove the teaching in it as marketing is about the "What" and not about the "How". He said this was my tendency because I wanted to help people so much. I had been asked very early in my career, why I insisted on "giving away mother's milk" and I never felt I really understood how I could change that until he explained it to me.
Now everything is coming together and becoming clearer i.e. how teaching while I was Marketing was diluting the communication of the value of my offers, all the wisdom and learnings from Marisa's EPM Masterclass, and how to design authentic compelling EPM product offers with confidence and heart.
What's really cool is that, as a side result of my Chatterbox Campaign, I was able to hit Mission Accomplished even though I have not actually launched my Experience Product on-line as yet. Thank you Marisa, Murray, Uwe, Don, Christine and rest of team!
Based on the information in your first video and the e-book on "Experience Product Phenomenon" I have begun scripting a revised initial marketing to do in person, on stage or in a webinar.
It had already become clear to me why people are not even enrolling in my coaching. (fear and intimacy) You have provided the solution of experiencing simple easy win, win, momentum so they will want to have more of the results from their experience. Your approach is going to make coaching entrepreneurs winners along with many more clients.
Congratulations for your insight.
Your Graduation Story
Because I work full-time, it was difficult for me to even keep up with EPM, but I managed to get a LOT done, just haven't hit mission accomplished yet. I'll continue to work at my own pace until I get there.
I can't tell you how awesome the EPM experience was! I have never in all my years of attempting to get something going online experienced the quality of training/coaching that EPM provides. I have purchased a lot of training but NOTHING compares to EPM! Marisa could have charged 2 - 3 times as much and it would have been worth every penny.
I now have a ""framework"", a ""blueprint"" to follow to create ANY experience info product. And things I would never have thought were important such as the mission statement (that totally guides the product creation) and of course, adding in the wins and everything that ""gamifies"" the product- it was all laid out for me. No boring static info product for me! I treasure every single lesson in the course and now need to go back and review a lot of it so I can stay fresh as I continue on my journey to mission accomplished. Thank you, thank you, Marisa, coach Jennifer, Murray, and all you incredibly talented, creative geniuses who put this program together. Today graduation.... tomorrow mission accomplished.... and then on to build the BIG business.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That info products need to be interactive and FUN!!!
How did EPM help you become successful?
It taught me the RIGHT way to create an info product; not the old static PDF or boring video
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
My goal is to quit my "day job" and have more time to spend doing things I love. What I learned in EPM has given me the belief that YES, I can truly finally 'retire'. (I'm 72! - a very young 72, I might add. :))
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I don't quite have a business yet but the change would be that I can offer something of real value AND make money doing it.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
The creativity of it all! I love creating training/videos, etc. and THAT has me jazzed.
