I was having a problem with my self confidence when it came to developing my coaching course. I had clients, but when it came to building a course, I just froze up. It didn't help that the clients I signed up for 1:1 coaching just weren't a good fit, and I started dreading the coaching sessions! (It really didn't matter how much I was getting paid) I attended Marisa's free sessions about building Experience Products, and loved the idea, and thought about joining. My coach, outside of EPM, said I didn't need it - of course. My husband also said that I was just, as usual, trying to run away from building my courses by having another distraction. But, he ultimately left the decision up to me. I joined, and loved the coaching pod discussions and made some great new friends. I did have some issues with my Pod Coach, so I didn't get past my Mission Statement with her. I even used specific wording that Marisa used with someone else who had a very similar business coaching multi-passionates, but my coach was determined I should use anything other than "multi-passionate." In my research, both in the groups I'm in, with my own email list (2500) etc, most of the people I've talked to are familiar with that term. My coach refused to accept it. She kept coming back with "multi-focused" or "multi-talented" and then started taking exception to my use of "women" and wanted me to change it to "females" which didn't flow. I tried a couple times to email her, but didn't get a response, so I just let that part go. Because I couldn't get past even Milestone 3 by the due date ~ which was up to the coach, not me ~ my whole money back guarantee was out the window. I didn't realize that I could go on past her and just keep submitting, even if she hadn't checked off, which I suppose would have protected my investment. But I wanted to really understand the process! I just couldn't wrap my mind around why she had such an issue with my wording, until the deadline had passed and it was too late. I did enjoy listening to Marisa, but didn't get a chance to be in the hot seat coaching. I would have loved that chance, and perhaps it would have helped me get past the hurdle with my coach. Finally, I just stopped going to the pod calls, Marisa's calls, etc. But, I really did learn something! I DO know how to build a course, I do know how to help people, and I know how to engage people, and in the end I realized I chatterbox with people as naturally as breathing. I have people excited to sign up for my 90 day course, and know that I will give them what they need. It was suggested that I should contact someone at support to let them know about my issues with the coach, but I'm just one person out of how every many she had to coach. Plenty of other people did just fine with her. It does seem that when I stopped doing any of the work she could have reached out. Maybe I think that because that is the kind of coach I am. I shouldn't expect that level of service from everyone else.
