I struggled due to a lack of knowledge about teaching and marketing in today's world. I have taught my topic (1-1, 1-Family and 1-Few) for half a century. Successfully. It's time for me to scale so I can reach large amounts of people. I needed more skills, and to understand how to update my approach to appeal to today's buyers.I felt stuck, passionate and reluctant all at the same time (now in my 80's it all seemed like a LOT of work). I joined EPM to revise my skill set and learn what works. There I discovered one major problem: I've been giving out too much information at one time, overwhelming people. I still needed to more narrowly define my target market. Marisa helped me do this by suggesting teaching an Anger Class for parents who had concerns for their child's mental health. My two best and favorite topics (Conscious Parenting and Anger Realignment), combined! In the middle of the class, on Christmas Day, my beloved 12-year old dog and traveling companion (I live in an RV) suddenly required euthenasia. This knocked a hole in my life. I went down for a couple of weeks, but recovered enough to finish the course. I'm inspired by all I have learned. I loved the "walk through," the coaching support, and the differentiations of different ways of going about focusing, creating, naming, etc. what I create. I am continuing work on the program and know I will make sales and move forward. I have total faith in my information, approach, and message that we all know people need and want to hear. I also discovered I'm a person of "my time," not at all liking the bells, whistles and personal reporting to the group of the Experiencify elements of the course. For me they were a distraction, a "have to" and a bother rather than a motivator! (I think some of this is due to my not being a "digital native," so the technology took way too much extra time.I) I end this 12 weeks feeling totally confident of my next steps, and intending to sell the anger product, followed by one on Fear, Self-Esteem, Ending Manipulation, Loneliness, etc. My energy for doing some dedicated and intense work has been restored and I'm on a roll. BTW, during all of this, through the publication of a collaborative book on Wellness, I also became a 6-time Amazon Best-selling author!
