Your GRADUATION Story
My partner and I had been working very hard for two years in our business and weren't getting any traction. We had led one workshop, one course, and had spent a TON of time developing content, attending trainings and marketing our courses. We were all over the place and had no direction. We were starting to lose hope that we were ever going to be able create the viable business we dreamed of. Then we joined EPM and everything changed. Once we had a roadmap of exactly what to do, step by step, to create an experience product, we were able to drown out the noise of all those other coaches telling us how to market our course. We learned we needed to keep it super simple to launch, and not try to include all the bells and whistles from the start - a mistake we had made when we first tried to launch over a year ago. We put out heads down, followed the program and met several times each week to workshop the session worksheets and submit our milestones. It felt so invigorating knowing that 100% of our effort was going into productive work. In less than 9 weeks, we have a launch plan for a brand new product, we have started marketing it to a specific target audience, and we see a clear path to success!
What's been the biggest change in your business?
Focus
How's EPM and your success impacted your life?
I feel like I'll be able to answer this much better once I prove my product and start making money. But if I had to answer now, I would say, hope that I can make my dream of launching my coaching/online course business a reality.
What's your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Paper plane version / #MVP Mindset / Earn While You Learn!! A close second is to stay focused. I was getting distracted by all of our ideas, courses we wanted to launch, and things we wanted to do. We were working really hard but not getting far.
What's now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
Again I feel like I'll be able to answer this better once I have actually launched and proven my Experience Product - I'm filling this out at the Graduation stage. But, my GOAL of what will be possible for me because of my Experience Product is to match my current income so that I can quit my job, stop working around the clock and reclaim my life. Next goal is to retire my husband! Final goal is a whole lot more as Marissa says - make the income I have always dreamed of so that I can fix up my house the way I want it, take my family on the vacations I dream of, let my kids graduate debt-free from college, and set them up financially so that they don't have to worry about money.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I want to tell everyone I know about EPM. I wish I would have discovered this two years ago! It would have saved us two years of flailing and basically shooting darts at a dartboard. This course was so much more than I thought it was gong to be. I was nervous about the investment because we have $0 in sales right now so it felt like a lot, but I am so grateful we said yes. I'm already thinking about my next Experience Product!
