Your GRADUATION Story
"I started this program with a vague idea of what I wanted to create. I’d selected my niche and had 2 ideal customer groups in mind.
My problem was I had an idea but not a concrete plan on how to turn my idea into a profitable and sustainable product that would be attractive to purchasers.
I knew in principle what was needed but hadn’t transformed the theory into practice. What I did know was I was offering a solution to address a specific pain point experienced by all online course creators along their journey to success. A roadblock that was stopping them achieve a positive impact not only on their own lives but the lives of those they wanted to serve. That sucked!
I knew how to create a ‘product’ but not an attractive ‘offer.
I knew I needed to embed marketing and sales into the process from the beginning but how to do that, in reality, was another thing. I was already convinced that creating an experienced product was a no-brainer.
I joined the Experience Product Masterclass because I had faith that Marisa and her team could help me achieve the stated mission statement. I just had to work through the process and the support was there to help me achieve it.
I learned that gamification and experiencifying a product can have an enormous impact on the learner. For a person who had no interest in gaming and a little skeptical about how these techniques would work for me, I was surprised how much this helped course progression as well as feeding the ‘finisher’ in me.
I discovered the power of the mission possible statement and its various parts. Watching Marisa turn ‘woo woo’ ideas into something that had a clear finish line was like watching a magical symphony unfold before your very eyes.
There was one point where I 'fell off the EPM wagon'. I became despondent about the validity of my product. The temptation to give up on it was strong. It really sucked thinking about the amount of time, money & energy I’d put into it to feel like I had to start all over again. It meant that I had to dig deeper to get back on track.
I put in the work, tried to suppress or at least hold in check my perfectionism, and got to offer an MVP without it being finished. That was huge as I had a significant roadblock about selling something that was ‘vapor ware’. It opened up possibilities of how to do so ethically.
This is the most amazing learning experience I have ever encountered.
The only downside … it has to come to an end and I don’t want it to.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Marisa and Jennifer.
What's been the biggest change in your business?
Being open to embracing an MVP product, marketing and delivery
How's EPM and your success impacted your life?
This has got me closer to having a profitable offer out in the wild and I can see that being able to sell it is an achievable reality. I'm going to make it happen ... finally, after so many years tinkering around the edges.
What's your biggest takeaway from EPM?
I discovered the power of the mission possible statement and its various parts. How critical to the success of any online business offering products it is.
What's now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I will no longer have to worry about being financially dependant on an employer and my goal of having a passive income to spend time on what I want, when I want and with who I want is within my reach. It is no longer just an unattainable dream.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
"Marisa you are an amazing role model, creator and professional that demonstrates that you truly and deeply care about the success of those you serve. Thank you for being you.
Jenniefer you have been patient, supportive and the best coach I could have ever asked for. You have helped me get out of my own way and facilitated me achieving in areas that I lacked confidence in. Thank you so much."
