I'm graduating! :D I took this course hoping to create a course, and came out with so much more. Marisa surprised me, and I learned so much about being an entrepreneur, and what it takes to get a business off the ground.
Even though I have been coaching people for over 10 years, it was a side passion and not a business until I lost my engineering job to Covid, so I have a lot to learn about finding clients beyond word-of-mouth.
No, I didn't get to mission accomplished, but I got clarity about the niche I want to work with now, and what they need and want. I have a great name - The Connected Senior, and created my website! TheConnectedSenior.com.
I broke some of the certainties and barriers around chatterboxing, and coming out of hiding, and have much further to go there. But.... I also have now a ""corner"" in a bi-monthly lecture series on ""caring for aging parents"" where I open each lecture with ""3 minutes on Independence Through Technology—stories from the front lines"", it is in Hebrew, and this title works better in Hebrew, lol.
They have 30-70 people on Zoom for each lecture, and it also streams live on two FB groups. I had my first two showings and received 2 calls from potential clients as a result.
This came out of chatterboxing!
I'm still marketing my course - start date is Feb 15th. I can't wait to go through the pilot and learn what works and what doesn't.
I'm also connected with another EPMer, and am involved in creating and running his course. All in all, this has been a worthy investment, and clearly I'm not done yet. Thank you so much Marisa, and the team! Coach Uwe, it's been a pleasure to be in your group ??
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Done is better than perfect. Iterate my way, verify and listen as I go forward.
How did EPM help you become successful?
EPM gave me a framework to grow with, and support along the way. The direct personal support had been significant for me.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I learned about myself, met some great people, and created a business where there was very little before. It's been a very helpful focus tool! My accountability partner is now a friend for life.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
"I have a mission, a niche, and clarity on what I'm doing and why. A website, a course, and starting to get visible. In short, my business is actively evolving. I have belief in myself.
I learned to work for myself - a transition, since up to now I've been an employee."
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I'm looking forward to my business supporting me, and helping more people.
