Your GRADUATION Story
I'd been toying for ages with the thought of launching a series of online courses, had attended a few of Marisa's presentations over the years, and liked her style and the look of XP. EPM has been a 12-week emotional rollercoaster, but I'd do it again (and probably will). Though I haven't achieved my dream yet, I've done my best to "resist resistance" and now have XP Lifetime, so the best is yet to come!
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
Launched, but didn't attract enough students for my planned January "maiden voyage," so I postponed and am aiming to set sail in March (after LYM LIVE). Plenty of people were interested, but almost all of them expressed problems with the full six-week/three-days-a-week time commitment. I can now see and agree that it WAS too much to ask of working musicians. My present plan is to break the material into almost stand-alone (but logically linked) cyclically repeating live modules that students can join at their convenience. With a view, of course, to later crafting the live deliveries into a recorded product with all the bells and whistles (and ka-chings, LOL). Wish me luck! :)
Probably the biggest change (and challenge), honestly, has been trying to understand the various sales tax regulations around the world. I'm hoping that XP will eventually take a cue from ThriveCart, automatically incorporating the calculations. EPM has really brought home the importance of fearless persistence. "Progress over Perfection." So simple, so powerful. Also, the eternal "Be Yourself." The most exciting possibility is that I can finally tap into the global market and benefit thousands with my teaching methods!
Infinite thanks to the titanic team and to my intrepid, mighty masterclassmates!
