"I revamped my new course in just a few hours because I understood the process. I booked it on EventBrite. Then, I built a lead page, promoted it on Facebook and LinkedIn, and (within two days) six people (all of whom I knew personally) signed up"I signed up with thoughts of creating a simple workshop I could tape once and make an evergreen product. As I progressed through the training, the good news was my target audience became more specific (entertainment industry folks who were having challenges with their careers). The bad news was my product became unwieldy, with eight modules and several sessions within those modules. My reality check came when I sat down with a calendar and tried to figure out when I could get in front of a group of these folks live for eight modules. When (with the varied schedules in entertainment) would they have time to even take the course? Also, there was the problem of committing to designing eight modules when I hadn’t even proven the first. A teacher once advised me, “never settle for your first idea, and never be unwilling to go back to it.” What did I want? I wanted to teach a workshop on how entertainment industry folks could move out of their regular jobs and into a career doing what they loved. My path then became clear. And it must be said, going to the extreme with preparation was not a mistake. I revamped my new course in just a few hours because I understood the process. I booked it on EventBrite. Then, I built a lead page, promoted it on Facebook and LinkedIn, and (within two days) six people (all of whom I knew personally) signed up for the course. And those Chatterbox conversations? Those happened with at least ten people I knew who gladly referred me to their contacts. I’m thrilled I did this. I learned so much from the process; and am excited to have the time and framework Momentum will give me to grow from here. Although I didn’t reach my financial goals, I exceeded three sales!!! I’ll take that win to the bank (literally). Thank you, Marisa Mona Lisa, for creating a course that has given me all the tools I need to deliver products in an exciting and fun way. Also, thanks to all the fabulous coaches—especially Coach Mike with a tremendous shout out to Matthew and Emily—who encouraged and taught me. I know it will only get better from here and can’t wait for the next steps on this journey.
