Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
I have been coaching 1:1 as well as small group workshops and small group coaching (10- 25 people) off an on for many years, if I was on Shark Tank, they would call me a hobbyist. My clients have all come from referrals or from giving low cost workshops (this was many years ago, I stopped doing the workshops about 6 years or so ago). My clients have shared with me they get results, they like working with me and have found return on their investment. In addition to coaching I have been in sales in various industries, written a book and found success as an eldercare consultant, using my sales and coaching skills. However, with all of that under my belt, I have never felt like a legitimate coach. I have not trusted that I can actually help people to go from where they are to where they want to be, even though there is evidence to the contrary. I participated in a challenge of Marissa's and during that time started to see my value. It was like a slow awakening. I can't say that I immediately felt like I was a legit coach, but I could see that my thought process was beginning to shift. I have wanted to create a real program and an online course for a long time. I didn't have the confidence, the blueprint (although it had been promised in other courses) or the know how to get myself on track. I have been a student of other guru's who promise a lot , and while I always find something to learn, a lot of it felt very generalized. I joined EPM because it seemed like it was more detailed and personalized. I joined not really sure of the outcome but it just seemed like I would gain the tools, wisdom and actual actionable tasks to get me where I wanted to be. So here we are and though my experience product is not complete yet as I have had to pivot. (I put it out there my original concept and not getting enough interest) I am using the MVP mindset, my coaches advice and my own desire to see this thing through, to change to my new but not so new idea. I have been coaching financial reps for a long time, but now I am doing so with the experience product formula as my own blueprint. As I use what I have learned the outcome for me personally, I feel like a legitimate coach. Once I get the rest of this solid, I am going to be super excited to do lots of marketing. My result, my photo finish, is my mindset change, which is dramatic and my creating a process for my clients. A bridge to success for their own transformation.
How's EPM and your success impacted your life?
This part doesn't have to do with business directly, but this is a good place to share. I am a mother of one child, who went away to college this year. I have been a stay at home mom for the first 14 years of her life, coaching here and there, and other jobs. When we dropped her off at college, I came home to an empty apartment, no job and one coaching client. I found myself falling into a depression. I was having a hard time getting up everyday. I found the challenge and got inspired to take the course on EPM. I took it so I had something to focus on instead of my sadness. The refund was a big draw for me, as we;; as the milestones, everything that would really push me into action and hold me accountable. The impact has been faith in myself, what I bring to the table as a coach, and that I am ready to build this out as a real business. If I didn't have the milestones to focus on, as well as the weekly meetings, I think I would have fallen into a deep depression. I was inspired by my coach Emily, Marissa and the other students. I even continued to stay on track while I was in bed with a bad case of Covid , followed by a really bad virus two weeks after I had covid. I am very happy I found Live Your Message.
What's now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I can grow my coaching business and be proud to say I am a coach. I will start to make real income , I want to make at least 100K with my new skills and tools.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
It is a great program, lots of information. I am hoping I will make my money back. Thank you to all of the coaches, the behind the scenes staff , my coach Emily. and to Marisa. I have learned a lot and will be excited to see where this can take me.
