"The offer to join EPM 2020 came at a time when other things were going on in my life that encompassed time-consuming, prior commitments, and I had to convince myself that I could do “all” the things.
I had the intention of developing a course for a few years, but never seemed to get past the ‘one day’ phase, so after the years of not starting, I doubted whether it was possible for me to do at all. But because of the guarantee, the reality was that if I followed the program, did the milestones on time, and kept track of my contacts and conversations, I had nothing to lose.
The thought of not completing the material became a non-issue the further I progressed through the course. It’s a relief to understand and know with certainty that just by starting, validating the idea, and improving it based on real-time feedback I can take my business to a different level without hitting a ceiling in terms of time, reach, and revenue. This shift in mindset takes away the fears holding me back and makes me accountable to myself.
EPM not only provided support in ways I didn’t realize I needed, as well as the training to get it done, but the encouragement to take it step by step, because no matter what, where I am at now is exactly where I am meant to be.
Unfortunately, I can’t say that I made back the cost of the program and have hit mission accomplished. While placing a dollar value on it sets a measurable goal at the beginning of the program, it doesn’t account for the knowledge gained simply by doing the work. For me, the potential for success can’t be measured in terms of dollars. Throughout the process, I relearned things about myself and by sticking through to the end, realize the opportunity I have to help more entrepreneurs than I ever could before.
I now possess the skill set and tools I need to succeed. I’ll get there, it will just take a bit longer. And I am okay with that. I know when I do get this course out I will be able to give my customers an exceptional experience, from the first beta group to those coming after.

What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
As a perfectionist, the concept of making a get started choice helped eliminate procrastination and the resulting overwhelm when tasks build up and nothing gets decided
What has been the biggest change in your business?
For so many years I provided the service which placed a ceiling on not only how much I could earn but on how much I could help businesses with their bookkeeping. With my belief in the course I can provide to entrepreneurs I will be able to help more businesses while scaling my business to levels it couldn't have achieved pre EPM
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
Because I am farther along in my course vision, have a series of actionable steps to move forward without feeling like everything has to be done before I can even get started. This will allow me to focus on activities that help others with their bookkeeping while growing my business.
