In May of 2021 I attended the Virtual coach expo and was deeply taken with this cute, relaxed, vibrant lady who expressed how proud she was that her courses had the highest completion rate in the industry. She said she made her courses super fun and her clients kept coming back for more. As the year progressed, I found myself moving down a spiral of procrastination and was no closer to completing my coaching certification (and I still haven’t -LOL), and the prospect of having a successful coaching business was steadily moving further away. In October 2021, I had this deep need break out of this procrastination and find out more about that cute, successful, course creator but as I didn’t save any info on her, it took many hours to track her down, but I finally did. I was blown away by the synchronicity as this gorgeous lady, named Marisa was about to start her annual EPM. I was so excited and signed up two weeks before the course started. Right out the gate I was having a ball and thought I’ve got this but as things moved forward, I realised that I was moving away from my dream, and I was more intent on ticking the course boxes and trying to get those elusive thumbs up from my coach. I started falling behind but I kept coming back for more. Something clicked over the Christmas break, and I reconnected to my dream and what I truly wanted to do, and within a few days, I signed up two coaching clients. I told everyone I came across about the course I was creating and within the first few days of Jan I made my first sale to one of my new coaching clients. My passion sold my course! Thank goodness no one asked me for more information as I had nothing to give them, I was only halfway through module 2 so I had no idea what I was really doing and only later did I realise that we were meant to launch once we reached the chatterbox session. A few days later I sold two more beta courses and converted a referral into a new client who wants to do my course after a few coaching sessions. And just last week another new client booked her first coaching session whose yet to hear about my course. It’s quite incredible how passion creates momentum and momentum creates passion. And this is just the beginning! This course really pushed my buttons as I bumped up against my limiting beliefs and had to work hard to break free and stride forward. I’ve realised that I have deep passion to support people to ignite and actualise their dreams, and from personal experience I know how tough actualisation can be. So with this in mind, in the near future I’m wanting to create a support course and coaching package for people doing online courses. I feel that this support is desperately needed to help them break through their upper limits and thrive for excellence. Marisa, your passion, vision, and dedication, ignited my passion and pushed me out of procrastination for which I’ll be forever grateful. I too want to thank my hugely supportive coach, coach Kat for her unwavering belief in me. I know that this is only my beginning and I’m super excited as I stride along my golden path of opportunity.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Belief in myself. Stepping out there and living my passion.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Ahhh! I've snapped out of procrastination which has made a huge difference in all aspect of my life. I'm even getting my taxes done on time! Graduating from EPM has inspired me to finally finish my coaching certification and keep up with my leadership program this year. I'm a much happier person. I'm busy building my Xperiencify course which starts in the second week of February.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
I have what it takes to get things done. My course is wanted and needed and I'm going to get out there and make it available to as many people as possible after I've test my 8 week beta program which starts in the second week of February.
What is now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
What I've learnt from EPM has given me more confidence to go out there and strut my stuff while growing my coaching business, creating online courses that support my coaching clients and finally creating a presence on social media. I now know how to use survey's to learn what new potential clients want and turn that want into courses and support systems.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I'm thrilled to bits that I trusted my instincts, hunted for Marisa, signed up for EPM and dived all in :)
