Your GRADUATION Story
I wanted to know how to put my course together, market, and deliver it. We are filming this first delivery of my course, which begins this evening, and I can then market it. Or I can keep on giving it repeatedly. Not sure yet.
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
I am the only international expert on both the Gospels and the afterlife, and more specifically on the fact that the non-religious application of the teachings of Jesus is easily the most effective means of rapid spiritual growth there is, and that includes meditation, yoga, and all the Eastern religious methods put together. I wanted to teach what I know, but I didn't know how to put such a course together. So I joined EPM, and pretty rapidly learned how to put what I know into an effective twelve-week Zoom course that meets one night a week. Its first class has 32 students, including 5 from Australia, 2 from Canada, and 1 each from the UK, France, and Serbia!
Your FIRST SALE Story
Since I have been doing a weekly podcast and also a weekly blog series for the past ten years, I already had a tribe, so selling this course was not my problem. I mentioned at the end of a blog post just before Christmas that I was taking a course in how to teach a course so I could teach a course on how to make this your last necessary earth-lifetime, and bingo: I had 26 people email and let me know that they wanted in! Before I could get the spigot turned off, I had 32 people enrolled. And they were clamoring to get started....
Your PROVED MY IDEA Story
This experience has certainly proven to me and to those in my little world that people are eager to learn a whole lot more about the non-religious teachings of Jesus! His words are all in the Biblical Gospels, but the Christian denominations focus mostly on what supports the Christian teachings - that Jesus died for our sins and so on - even though Jesus tells us right in the Gospels that what the Christian churches teach simply is not true. But what Jesus teaches in the Gospels IS true, and His teachings are spiritually amazingly effective, and they work very quickly. So I feel quite energized now to follow Jesus's suggestion and get going with this!
Your MADE A WHOLE LOT MORE Story
Money is not what motivates me at all, but since I can teach this course over and over again now with zero preparation and probably charging just a bit more for it I think it will be a nice additional source of income.
I did not before I took EPM even realize that this might actually become a business! Well, EPM has made me happier. But I was very happy to begin with! I am tremendously more confident now that I really can design, prepare, and teach a Zoom course to a class of many people. Fifty. Perhaps as many as a hundred people at once. Because I feel that I really can do this sort of Zoom class, I will be doing Zoom classes on the nonreligious teachings of Jesus as a regular feature of my work life.
Thank you very much to Marisa and the whole EPM team!
