"I was having trouble in my own life with not having enough tools to face the many stressful situations I had with raising 3 children as a single mom, and not working for 15 years after my third child was born with a life-shortening disability. I wasn't sure in all that time how to turn my great business idea from 17 years ago into an actual income-generating reality. I joined EPM because I know I do better in community with others and I also do very well with deadlines, and EPM certainly delivered both. I have now learned a step by step formula for how to take my etheric business idea and to put it into a practical form as a real course. My 17-year-old idea - createYES/Your Essential Self, encouraging everyone to embrace the experience of evolving, which we do faster together - now has an actual first course offering which was originally going to be called 85 Days to Your Energy Management System, a custom set of techniques for navigating life while staying more balanced in mind, body, and spirit. HOWEVER, I discovered for myself (after coaching was done) that this was not an MVP product, so now I have broken that down to yet another iteration of my course content. My MVP is now The Monthly WALK - A Way of Aligning with Love and Knowledge - and this will be a monthly membership site. Join on a sliding scale of $20-$200 and keep your starting rate for as long as you maintain your membership each month. This is the best way I can match my values around money and fees and energy exchange with the idea of actually earning money.
I did every EPM homework assignment and found at the end of it all that I had everything I needed to move forward, I figured out what to say, who to talk with, and even how to think of my new business and developed the confidence to just keep going. The first time I spoke of it in public I found my first customer. That was really inspiring and even though I struggled after that with moving forward, and truly really hated the chatterbox campaign, or at least the way it was taught and implemented, I am not at all scared of talking to people, just not familiar with asking for money - and I now have the tools to just keep standing back up and to just keep showing up for myself. I look forward to maintaining connection with this community to help keep me accountable and on purpose moving forward. I do still intend to be a success story in next year's EPM promotional webinars. Keeping that target in mind is another tool I will use to keep myself going and to bring my business out in the world, and I WILL find my first 12 MVP clients in the next month because I really DO need to earn back my investment asap. That is non-negotiable. I've got one, (four now in the time since I first wrote this), so the rest will be easier. Thank you for continuing to show up for all of us to keep us going!"
