Your Graduation Story
EPM led me to dive really deep into what I wanted my business to be. I had initially signed up with the idea to create a 5-week yoga program but had no sense of how I could differentiate myself. EPM allowed me to determine a clear and clean branding for my yoga offering. Most importantly, EPM helped me clarify my altruistic why: transformation through self-knowledge. This was a lightbulb moment (that I had been waiting for years!). With that new realization in mind, it also made me admit that teaching yoga was not 100% in line with my freshly define "Why". I had to re-think my choice and business direction, especially since another gift I received from EPM was the realization that creating an Experience Product would required all my time and energy, time and energy I was not willing to put in the creation of a yoga program. Instead, I decided to keep my yoga offering light and strictly on YouTube, especially now that I had a clean branding and approach thanks to the work I had done with EPM. I've just spent the past few days creating videos for my channel and it's on route to be a nice side offering. So where exactly do I want to focus all my time and energy? Interestingly enough, EPM helped me here as well and in a very specific and unexpected way: in one of EPM coaching calls, a participant messaged another participant in the chat box asking if she was also doing Jyotish astrology (she was an Ayurvedic practitioner and those 2 disciplines are closely related). I saw the message, it peaked my curiosity and I looked it up. And, that was my second lightbulb moment! As a yogic numerology practitioner and someone who's also studied the enneagram, I decided to jump into Vedic astrology to complement that acquired knowledge. I've now been studying vedic astrology intensely for over a month now and I can't wait to offer 1:1 consultations soon, while keeping my YouTube channel alive. I look forward to Message to Money live to dive deeper into branding and hopefully link those 2 disciplines (vedic astrology + yoga) into a single marketing / branding message around self-knowledge as an empowerment tool. I can honestly say I wouldn't be where I am today, on this beautiful right path, if I had not done EPM. It pushed me to be honest with myself and I can confidently say I am where I am supposed to be. Thank you so much Marisa and Team EPM! This truly wouldn't have been possible without you!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Starting a business and/or launching a product is such a big commitment that you have to be 100% clear and honest with yourself and what you want to put out there
How did EPM help you become successful?
It helped me clarify my Why and I now feel unstoppable thanks to that clarity and newly found confidence
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Not only did it help me be clear and honest with myself, it also brought me a lot of confidence: in what I want to create but also in how to do it. I learned so much about marketing that I know I can be successful in everything that I put my heart and energy into
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Realizing I was on the wrong path, not totally wrong, but not 100% aligned. It was hard for me to admit after all the time, money and energy I had put into various trainings. Pivoting to something not entirely different but still feels like I am doing 2 separate things: yoga YT channel and yogic numerology. Can't wait for M2M Live to clarify and unite.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
M2M live and branding my new offer
