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.
