Your FIRST SALE Story - My dream as a Life and Wellness Coach has been to create my own program to help people live the life they deserve. I tried to do everything I was capable of doing but it was enough. I felt stuck, confused and didn’t know how to make my next step. I was second guessing my ability to feel worthy of selling my own program. Who was going to buy my program? I created over 22 drafts and I still needed support to tell me that the world is waiting to hear my voice. The sadness and frusration kicked in. I so want my own program and I have put in countless hours trying to make it happen. Was it all a waste? . I sat quietly, praying for answers to come and re-framing my mindset. I asked myself, Are you really going to give up now”? I never quit! What the heck! I kept getting these emails from Marissa some lady I saw speak a few months ago during my coaching program. I suddenly felt compelled to listen to wait she was saying. I listened to hear introductory emails and I got so excited. This is exactly what I am looking for, my prayers have been answered.
I joined Marissa’s program called EPM and I discovered a proven, reliable system to create my own product. It gave me the confidence I was looking for and the support I needed to propel forward in my life and career. I learned to stop being a perfectionist and just make a minimum viable product. During the intensive training program,I was having doubts about how I was going to accomplish chatterboxing to over 30 people.
Even though, I am very social and confident but it feels strange to now sell my program. Many questions arise, “Will they like the idea?” “Am I worthy?” “Will they think I am asking too much?” I am second guessing myself. However, I just kept making small steps each day and recording my chatterboxing. I started celebrating my success that I was taking action each day and going through all the detailed modules that Marissa created. Eventhough, I didn’t see results yet, I had leads and opportunities. I wasn’t sure what to do because I set high goals for myself and I always accomplish them. But what if I wasn’t going to meet Mission Accomplish? The sadness and frusration kicked in. I so want my own program and I have put in countless hours trying to make it happen. Was it all a waste? . I sat quietly, praying for answers to come and re-framing my mindset. I asked myself, Are you really going to give up now”? I never quit! I made the commitment to myself that I am worth it and started doing 5 chatterboxing a day. It was way out of my comfort zone but it got easier each time I started to tell my story and share my program to people.
Surprisingly, people were so enlightened and excited. They wanted to help me. I started getting referrals. But then a tragic event happened. My father passed away at the beginning of the year. I was frozen and heartbroken not only for the loss of my dad but that my dream was shattered. I had to put my life on hold. Marissa’s team sent me an email to check in with me to see what might be happening in my life. It was the catalyst that re-sparked my goals. Ironically, I made my first sale at my father’s funeral. I was chatterboxing and catching up with family and friends and I had someone sign up for my program. Holy Batman! I was doing the happy dance. I felt my father was there in spirit giving me the support I needed. It showed me that if you believe in yourself and your product people will feel your passion and drive and share the excitement with you. I now have my confidence and drive back and am SUPERCHARGED! Look out world here comes Valerie Whetstone. Thank you Marissa and her wonderful team for making my dreams come true!
