I had dreamed since 2004 of having an online program. My journals and my computer is filled with half finished ideas. I was floundering as I wasn't sure which was the first step to take. I had bought other programs to grow my list, create a membership site and to make a course, but I never finished any of them and they didnt' get me close to finishing a program, let alone marketing or delivering it successfully. Even though I successfully do face to face trainings, I just couldn't break through an invisible barrier to get an online one happening.
As soon as I heard Marisa talk about Xp's I was hooked and I knew she was onto something. I recognized the chemical in the brain she talked about was the neurotransmitter dopamine. This is released in experience products as well as people playing poker (slot) machines. Its addictive and feels like a reward to the person. As a Psychologist I know about how people learn but Marisa put it all together in such a common sense way it seems amazing someone else hadn't thiought of it.
I was even away for a month of the program and still got to mission accomplished weeks before the end of the program. Just by doing what she told me to do. I chatterboxed like crazy as I was convinced that this time I would get a great program and I knew people would get transformed.
I have 8 people in my program and I earnt 4,135.00. Not bad and I didn't even have a sales page. I am a customer for life and I feel so confident now I can do it again. I feel like I am finally in the game rather than dithering around on the side lines.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
take inperfect action and just go along with the journey. you can refine as you go. don't be scared to adjust along the way because you will if you listen to your clients. sell before you create. Also starting small is essential as there are lots of little things that go wrong and enquires and if I had more people it would have been a headache. let me go big when I have processes for big.
How did EPM help you become successful?
It's given me my first perfectly imperfect program. I've been wanting to create online programs since 2004. How do I know the date? I looked at my diary on the delivery day last Monday and I savoured that information and felt a sense of accomplishment. It has given me a process to follow but more importantly, the confidence in myself to say I've done it. Its my first of many. I feel successful and therefore I am and my business will go from strength to strength.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
It has made me walk taller. I feel a confidence that has seeped into other areas of my life and I feel like I talk with more authority now. Doing EPm has been a defining moment for me
What has been the biggest change in your business?
The biggest change is that I know I can do it. I am in the thick delivering my own EP now and it means I'm in the game rather than being on the sidelines.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
That I can do it again and that I trust myself to do things simply first. I don't need all the bells and whistles straight up. That gives me permission to not look like the big guys. I am also excited as I am now listening more my tribe rather than thinking I am the expert and I know what they need.
