"I did not only reach Mission Accomplished, but also reached me Target Goal of $3000."MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Before I started with EPM, I was not sure if I could even achieve the Mission Accomplished. Despite trying so hard for many years, I've never really made any money. But I was attracted to Marisa's energy and felt that I could learn something here that I'd been missing so far.
When I started EPM in October, I was just doing a 5-Day Challenge ""The Joy of Movement"" on Facebook. Out of the 34 who signed up for the challenge, only a few completed it (too much content for 5 days!), but 6 wanted to continue with a course (one of them received it as the Grand Prize during the Challenge). I was unsure whether I should do it right there and then, or rather wait until I had gone through the program. I spoke with coach Samara, and she recommended I should do it, even if only with six people, and look at it as my 'Beta' Course. So I went ahead and started the 8-week course in November. I was chatterboxing with two more people, and both signed up, so all in all I had 8 people in the Beta course, giving me $1379.
Going through the program and at the same time creating a new course was sometimes challenging, as there was so much to do and learn. But - I am so glad I did it! I learned so many things while teaching it, and also realized and understood what needs to be changed in the new course now. One of the things that came up was that my curriculum had way too much content for the 8 weeks, and also that I needed to simplify a few of the topics. Another point that became very obvious during the course was that the students loved the short live teachings I did during the Q&A Zoom Calls. So midway through the beta, I moved from pre-recording the body-exploration lessons (which are part of each weekly training) to teaching them live, which also gave me the opportunity to be in constant communication with my students, helping me decide which topics to include or do next. Also, listening to all their questions showed me what their needs were, allowing me to adjust the training based on what came up. BIG LESSON here for me!
Now, I have one more week to go in the Beta (we took a 2-week break over Christmas), but I have already 5 people signed up for my new, 12-week course, (4 of them continuing with me after the Beta, for a special price), and one new student, meaning that I did not only reach Mission Accomplished, but also reached me Target Goal of $3000. And I still have one week to go to promote before the new course starts.
I am absolutely thrilled with my results - it's the best course I've ever taken, and the first one I actually completed. So, thank you Marisa Murgatroyd, Coach Samara, Murray, Matthew, and Emily, as well as all my fellow students for their coaching, encouragement, and pushing me to step outside of my comfort zone. The greatest breakthrough for me was to actually talk to people, I never considered myself a 'sales person', but my two signups with the chatter boxing really helped me to overcome my fears - I realized, I CAN DO IT!
I really loved the experience here, and I will definitely go through all the material again, 'iterating my course to awesome.'
