Your GRADUATION Story
As a fun hobby I've individually helped many people declutter, organize and create legacy life-story photo albums over the past few years. But through the one-on-one basis I've never been able to help all the people I've wanted to help. Although I've been interested in creating an online course for years, every time I've looked into getting started, figuring out the technology, the contents, and all the contributing parts of a course I've almost immediately gotten overwhelmed and given up. I figured it just wasn't for me. I was way too shy and technology - challenged. It wasn't until I heard about EPM and Marisa that I started to think it could really happen. I attended both her intro Crack Your Course, and then the all day webinars before I finally got the confidence and belief that maybe I could do this and signed up for EPM. Marisa's course has been eye-opening, difficult, and a lot of work to keep up and get everything done, but fun and empowering all at the same time. Step-by-step I've been able to really think things through, analyze, and make decisions all along the way that have kept me moving forward. The coaching has helped me conceptualize and solidify my ideas into something real, that works. It's emphasized profound points that have resonated and seem tailormade for me: progress over perfection, breakdown before breakthrough, iterate to awesome, and dig deep. I keep going back to them over and over to get out of tough spots where I might have given into the feelings of overwhelm and worry and given up Everything I've learned from this course has been amazing. I've been able to finally create and launch the course that I've always wanted into the world. It's on a small scale now, but I know that I have the tools, structure, knowledge, and resources to help it grow to be my big dream, and then even bigger dream. I'm so excited to watch my paper airplane fly on it's way to becoming a prop plane, and then a jet.
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
I've had the problems in the past of lacking confidence, all or nothing thinking, and getting overwhelmed. Those kinds of issues have kept me from being able to create a course which has been a dream of mine for many years. It's been extremely empowering to face those challenges and create the course I've always wanted to create. The deep thought and reflection all the way through figuring out my micro niche, audience, mission, and Experience Product, as well as how to share my idea, MVP product, and the marketing strategies I'll use, has given me such a solid foundation and confidence to truly feel that I know what I'm doing as I launch my course. It's also been great to make it through the entire course, no matter how tough it got, and just keep doing the work and moving forward to Mission Accomplished, and MVP launch. I've been able to get 8 clients now, with a couple more people interested, and have the dates set for my Kickoff Day and beginning of the course, as well as onboarding campaign planned and in place. EPM made all the difference!
becoming confident and consistent doing what it takes Confidence and a fresh 'progress over perfection' attitude has carried over to all parts of life. Step-by-step, just keep moving forward a little everyway gets you to where you want to be I feel like I can help so many more people and accomplish my own dreams in the process, in spite of what has often felt like insurmountable health challenges.
Your PROVED MY IDEA Story
Although I'd finally gotten the confidence and joined EPM to create the course I'd always wanted to share, I still didn't really believe that I could launch my Experience Product, gain multiple clients, and set the date to start my course in such a short time of 12 weeks. But by using Marisa's mottos, especially 'progress over perfection' as well as EPM's great coaching, I've been able to actually create and launch my course, get eight sales and make back more than my original investment, as well as have an onboarding plan, email campaigns, and best of all feel I can confidently have conversations about my course in a variety of situations with people I meet. I was comfortable enough to speak up at a restaurant during our neighborhood lunch group, while at a Christmas party, with strangers I met on the train, and many others. That would have been unimaginable in the past, but now I've actually learned to have fun letting others know about my course.
Your MADE A WHOLE LOT MORE Story
I've always been an extremely shy and introverted person who's had a difficult time even talking to people. One on one, after establishing a friendship, I've been okay helping people declutter, downsize and create a life-story legacy album they're proud to share. I've even occasionally been open to telling people my ideas for a course to utilize coaching and group support to teach more people at a time. But that's about as far as it's ever gotten. Every time I start to try to make the dream a reality I get completely overwhelmed and worried about creating the perfect program, all the technology required, and the people I'd have to talk with and that's been the end of it. Honestly, I never believed it could happen until EPM, and where I've gotten so far with this course may not seem like "a whole lot more" for some people, but for me it's huge. Eight clients and over $5,000 is amazing for me. It makes me feel like the sky's the limit. With hard work, consistency, and the confidence and new beliefs EPM has given me I finally feel like I'm on my way to getting that dream.
