"I am so grateful that I did EPM and made great connections and learned so much from really good, authentic people. "Your Graduation Story
If there’s something to be said about investing in yourself, I would say that it’s one of the most important things one can do for themselves to feed their inspiration and motivation. With that said, I have been known to have shiny object syndrome and buy programs and never complete them as well. That was not the case with Marisa’s program though. I worked steadily on this program like it was my job, and mostly because it was going to help me create my job. I ended the program at #10 on the leaderboards for completion, which even though I didn’t keep up on who was in the lead, it was a nice pat on the back after completing the program without hitting mission accomplished.
I knew going into this program that I would most likely need more time to complete the type of program I wanted to complete, yet I really didn’t know for sure so I aimed to finish by the deadline. I have done other sprinting programs before and was ready for something that was going to go deeper and EPM definitely delivered, but it still takes time once you learn all the tools. When I started to realize that I had more on my plate than the remaining time allowed for, I began to struggle and started hitting walls with my progress. I got sick for the last two months of the program and still worked on it daily, but it sure didn’t make it easy. Even though I came to an understanding and acceptance in where I was at and that my timeline was just different from the program and felt truly okay with this, my health still didn’t improve and I still struggled.
I am still under the weather, but I am not giving up and I’m still chipping away at launching and creating a membership site, and will listen to my body and intuition to see what my timeline is. Everything in my life is a process that I learn from and I tend to view all my experiences this way and see the value where others might not. I am so grateful that I did EPM and made great connections and learned so much from really good, authentic people. Receiving feedback on my work was priceless, and so important because my program is personal development and so hard to pin down and identify the right words to describe it in a way that will reach my clients, and right at the end, I think I finally nailed it. So thank you and I can’t wit to meet everyone at M2M Live!!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That's hard. Narrowing my niche/mission/ problem-solution and the feedback I received form Mike and Marisa, but was also learning so many new tools and feeling like I am not in the dark anymore about how a lot of things work or what's currently expected in today's marketing movement, and just really excited about Heroic and Xperiencify.
How did EPM help you become successful?
By helping me narrow my focus and identify my mission. Also by learning how to market myself and feeling closer to a greater community of other like-minded individuals doing the same thing. Working on things alone is just that, it makes you feel alone and community is very important to me to help me feel like I am in the flow that others are also riding.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
It has caused me to redirect my focus again and to know where I am headed. Before the program, I was struggling because I had experiences another program a year before that was extremely expensive and made a lot of false promises and put me back into debt because I didn't realize I would have to pay a lot more money to get the help I needed to make my money back. This was really hard on me and I took a break to rebuild my faith and direction again, but was watching myself fall into a slump again. Then, very last minute, I stumbled upon your campaign and it seemed like the next right step to get myself back in gear and it did just that.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Getting focused and organized with my direction and content.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I am excited that I can start at my own pace and that I will be successful, even if it is a gradual process. I am just happy to know that I am making it happen and don't feel the stress or pressure to do it any other way that what is right for me. Granted, the sooner I start making money the better, but I finally feel that is the natural outcome that is waiting for me.
