Your GRADUATION Story
I had to declutter my mom's home after she passed away and had many struggles and frustrations. Instead of doing a lot of things right, I made many mistakes (learned from them), had to finally enlist help to get the job completed, and ended up just boxing up more than I intended to and moved it into a storage space. From the storage space, I moved it to our home and put it all in the basement (still in boxes). Finally I started going through all of the boxes and did the decluttering again. It got me thinking about all the times I had easily and effectively decluttered many homes in my life (my own, friends and family). I enjoyed it until I did my mom's place. I realized I still love the process and I know how to get results. It was about that time that I learned about EPM and decided I could offer a coaching program to others dealing with clutter in their lives. I followed all of the program instructions, completed all the Milestones, and Graduated ! I'm now enrolling
Your FIRST SALE Story
I started tentatively talking to friends and family about what I was doing in EPM and what my plans were to launch my own coaching program to assist people to declutter their living spaces. My friend Coni has struggled with clutter and an over-stuffed house for many years. She even had a professional organizer come to her home about 10 years ago to give her tips and ideas to better use the space she has. I was asking her what she had learned from that person and she said she got great information but had failed to follow through. I told her about how I planned my course to include support and a private FB group (on-going) to give my clients a way to continue to receive feedback and encouragement. She said she'd love to be my first client in my Beta Class !!
Your PROVED MY IDEA Story
Currently I have only enrolled two students in my Beta Course named Clear Clutter Method. I'm working hard on Chatterboxing to get at least 3 total students and hopefully more before the launch date in mid-January.
What's been the biggest change in your business?
Being able to charge what my course is worth and also taking the initiative to talk to more people about what I'm doing. I've also been tentative in getting on social media as well.
How's EPM and your success impacted your life?
Because of EPM, I know I will launch my business (finally!!!) after wanting to start a coaching business for at least 5 years. It's happening. I have my business LLC set up, my bank account and I'm enrolling clients. It's happening and it makes me proud, happy and eager to see how far I can take this. The only way is UP !
What's your biggest takeaway from EPM?
By far the biggest one is #ProgressOverPerfection. Because of that (my mantra!) I stopped overthinking and trying to make things perfect. I gave everything my best effort but I didn't struggle over tiny details. Because I insisted for myself that I keep up with submitting the Milestones on time, I didn't fall behind. I've taken courses before where I got frustrated, was trying to overthink everything and got behind to the point I gave up in frustration. EPM kept me not only excited and motivated, but there was SUPERB support at every turn.
What's now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I know I will have a successful business which will continue to grow. I know I can continue to create courses using the same model forever.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Over the last 10 years I've taken no less than six courses which I thought would get me where I am today. Obviously I didn't complete any of those. None of them were anywhere near the level of AWESOME that EPM is. And several of them cost 3x as much. There was very little support, and in a few of the cases, no further communication after I signed up. After being in EPM, I am completely sold on Marisa's teaching style and the entire Experiencify model. I'm already signed up for Momentum because I know I need that level of support to continue on my trajectory. I know that LiveYourMessage is my ticket to Awesome. Thank you so much to Every Single Person from Marisa to the entire staff. You gave me the way to leverage my own talent with the incentives to do the work, get past the blocks, and get enough traction to keep moving forward.
