On January 1, 2018 I became purposefully unemployed. I took a leap of faith, and with my meager savings and my 401K as my only seed money, I quit my job as a physician assistant at the end of 2017. Using what I had learned from 23+ years in medicine, I had developed a 5-step process to teach people how to maximize their body's buillt-in energy systems, and thus their health!
However, I had no business experience, and I made every mistake in the book trying to get my business up and running. Ten months later, I had spent far more than I had earned and still felt like I was wandering in the dark.
Then a friend forwarded me the email about Marisa's webinar on the Experience Product Masterclass and all of that changed! I joined her program and within 2 weeks, I became clear about my niche and the mission for my product. Within 5 weeks, between the bonus material, the weekly content and the coaching sessions, I already felt like I had hit "mission accomplished". The value of what I was learning and the mind barriers that were being broken, were worth so much more than $2000 I had paid for the program!
Six weeks into the program, life threw me some curve balls. My mom came to live with me for a bit and my life got a little complicated. But Marisa's consistent message throughout this program is "Never give up!" So, even though my plans for how I was going to do this program were altered, I kept plugging along, and I reached the finish with over 75% of the modules done!
Yes... I am one of the people who did not officially hit "mission accomplished" by the end of the program. So, why do I still feel that this was one of the best and most successful programs I have ever invested in?
I now have a full outline and framework for my experience product I have a marketing plan I have full templates for the timelines for launching and running my experience product! I have lifetime access to all the content of this program so I can keep learning and creating!
All of the above was promised when I joined, but because of this program, I also now have: a more dynamic business name; a more authentic logo; the tools and knowledge to build a killer website; the support of an incredible tribe of fellow EPMer's; a pending trip to Message to Money Live and last, but most definitely not least, the ongoing influence of the very gifted Marisa Murgatroyd!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
To make my classes experience classes with constant wins and building momentum to keep people engaged and encourage completion.
How did EPM help you become successful?
EPM taught me tangible ways to keep students engaged and create an email campaign.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
It has encouraged me to not give up and to push further and longer than I normally would have.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Before I was focused on giving my students content and now I am focused on giving them an experience.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product? I'm most excited about not giving up. When I began EPM it was with a commitment to my program, my husband, and myself, that I would do everything (plus some) in order to meet the requirements of the guarantee. I thought that this would ensure my reaching mission accomplished and I am sad that it did not.
Due to our current financial situation and my commitment to my husband, I did have to submit a claim for the guarantee. I put my heart and effort into EPM and met all of the milestones and while I appreciate EPM I need Marisa to have my back like the guarantee promised. Since this is the case, I completely understand if graduation is null and void, but I thought I better submit for graduation in case my guarantee claim is not approved or graduation is still allowed.
