"Here is the story in my own words, before I came to this formula. Below is the story following the formula.
What’s my story, about my LYM course? Determination. I will do this - I will complete every assignment on time, not overdue.
That’s my most common inner hurdle - I’ve often found it hard to get things done by a deadline.
Not this time, actually. The deadlines would look like they were looming, ever too close to get everything done. And then, things were done, usually well before the deadline. I think everything got handed in at least before the deadline.
I looked at some of the assignments. How will I ever do this? And then I plunged in. Everything all laid out. Marisa has put an enormous amount of effort into laying out a blueprint. Step One. Step Two. Step Forty-four.
Yes, a lot to do, but very do-able, especially with a good coach (@LucasSeipp).
An interesting part of the journey. The topic. Once I settled on it, it became ultra obvious: Awake in a World Gone “Woke.”
But there were a couple of other topics that pulled me initially.
What got me on my track was one of the early questions: where do I find my target audience? Well, my core audience is the AWAKE - no injections (or if injections, regret at having been scammed or pressured into taking them). Loads of other interests - song-writing, for instance. But being AWAKE - and often frustrated at what’s going on - is what most defines my audience.
My program. I’ve bought the domain name - awakeworld.net (.com was taken)
My inner experience. I’m proud of my achievement. And then chatterboxing. A bunch so far. A couple to completion. Until now, no buyers. Lots more conversations in the works.
That was as far as I'd gone, when I wrote what's above. Now, over 30 conversations. Lots of learning on following something like the script while staying flexible. Also needing more inner strength on feeling my price is right for what I'm offering.
My coach has been great on this, as on very much. Lucas Seipp.
Now, as I write this (Feb 22): 2 sales, full price - but payments monthly, rather than at once. 6 people at lower rates - I like offering sliding scale (down to free). And another 5 people probable. Plus still doing lots of reaching out.
And now, as I am writing again, 3 full price sales, 10 sliding scale (50% down to zero), 1 possible.
Launch date, of the program: Feb 5.
I am looking forward to delivering, including making sure to include stuff like the ongoing wins (which has actually been part of my teaching style as a college prof). I have started my emailing the people, as of today - Jan 25.

AND NOW HERE'S MY STORY, FOLLOWING THE FORMULA
I watched a webinar with Marisa about her course-creation course. I had a lot on my plate, but I didn't have a money-making project (my problem/challenge - pain/frustration). I hadn't been planning to do anything about this because I was doing so many other things, but I was caught by what Marisa outlined. It felt right. So I enrolled in the LYM course (name of program) and learned (new thing) how to follow the instructions for the jet plane version of Marisa's course creation course. I was determined to get everything done, done excellently, done on time (what I did). And I did that. The result: a one-year program, Awake in a World Gone Woke (specific result).
