Your GRADUATION Story
I started EPM strong and was ahead of schedule when I had a major family emergency 5-6 weeks into the program. I was so disappointed and demoralized that I could not keep up with the program. I had to put it on pause to take care of an elderly family member in another state. I did continue attending the weekly coaching calls and most of Monday's w/ Marisa. That gave me strength and continued motivation to know that I am where I need to be. It helped me keep the faith and know I can go at my own pace. Over New Year's, I committed to at least making it through the MVP track even if I don't launch as early as I originally planned. I set time aside almost every night to focus on the next step. Continued support from Coach Jenn helped so much. She is so supportive of all of our pod participants and pushed us to at least have a plan for moving forward. And I made one. I am thrilled to say I have completed all of the MPV track and am now preparing for my launch. What an amazing feeling! I did the happy dance yesterday when I finished with a couple days to spare.
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
I was having difficulty spinning my wheels figuring out how to start my coaching business and what, specifically, to focus on. I was frustrated because I have started and stopped attempts many times before. I can't get focused, have too many ideas, can't choose just one thing, etc. I was all over the place. I joined EPM and found my way through the "noise." I did have to push myself to focus and prioritize; to choose one thing to start. This was really helpful. In fact, as I was planning my launch deliverables, I realized I didn't need everything I had planned; I was overcomplicating my MVP. I didn't need to do 1:Few; it would be easier to do 1:1. This was so key to moving forward and getting me closer to launch. Don't overcomplicate. Let go of perfection. One activity that was very eye opening was writing features and benefits for my core deliverables and modules. I can't believe the difference it makes to focus on the BENEFITS to the CUSTOMER. Once I completed that exercise, I was so energized and motivated to complete the rest of my MVP and get ready to launch.
This launch will be the start of my coaching business. That will be the biggest change. Another big change is the confidence I feel that I can do this and will be successful. I am excited to finally start my coaching business and eventually transition from my full-time, long-term consulting client to coaching who I want, when I want, how I want!!!!! It has given me confidence to know I can create products that I want to implement and know that I have a back-up plan that will someday soon be my current plan. I feel completely empowered to create the future of my dreams. Follow the plan and it will happen. In other words, trust the process. Especially when it is one that Marisa has created. You can't go wrong. The future of my dreams.
I can't wait to see what the future holds. Can't wait to share my gifts to help others. Also, Coach Jenn was very supportive and had a lot of good insight to help the pod team. Thank you everyone at LYM for all of the support, guidance, and tools/EPM. It was awesome.
