When I received the email from Marisa about EPM, I was done purchasing programs that were going to help me build my business. I was on her mailing list because I’d watched a few of her videos and liked what she had to say about living your message. But, I had sworn off taking even one more online course. I’m too embarrassed to tell you how much money I’d invested in programs that didn’t work by the time that email showed up in my inbox.
It wasn’t long into Marisa’s video message that I started thinking, “Maybe this is the one?” I almost closed the browser during the video on more than one occasion. “Quit watching!” I told myself. “If you continue you know you are going to want to buy this program.” But I couldn’t turn Marisa off. She struck a chord with me and my struggles. Then she made the guarantee offer. That’s when I hit the purchase button. Yes, many other courses that I spent big bucks on promised a guarantee. But they were wishy, washy, half-assed guarantees. The two that I attempted to collect a refund on both turned me down because they said I hadn’t worked the program. Neither of them had a clear-cut list of objectives. I despised the teaching techniques of one of the instructors, and I told him as much, albeit in a courteous fashion. I got nasty emails from his people when after a couple of back and forth correspondences I told them that I would challenge the charge with American Express. I’m still sorry that I wimped out and didn’t contest the charge.
With a guarantee that sounded like something I could take to the bank, I slapped yet one more online class on a credit card. Boy, am I glad I did. The courses first video with corresponding PDF’s told me that I’d hit the motherload. This was the course that would change the trajectory of my business. The clear and concise goals in place and the cha-ching that came along with checking off the box of a finished assignment was just what I needed. I’m very goal oriented, and when they are laid out in a way that I can understand, I will get them done.
The amount of coaching I received in EPM was astronomical compared to the other courses I’d tried. The weekly sessions with Marisa, Christine, Don, and Paul with bonuses thrown in from Murray about Heroic were priceless. I learned more valuable, usable information in the ten-week course than I ever could have imagined.
I was not able to hit mission accomplished by the due date, but I would never consider asking for my money back. I have no doubt that I will achieve my coaching goals because of this valuable course. I’m excited about what the future has to hold because of EPM. I gained direction, marketing skills, technological knowledge and so much more. I will be hugely successful and help hundreds if not thousands of people because of the EPM training.
Thank you, Marisa, Murray and all of the fabulous team members. You are making a difference in the world and helping others to leave their legacy’s too. I will be forever grateful for EPM. I can’t wait to experience Message to Money Live. I’m sure that when I leave there, I will be able to say, mission accomplished.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Success doesn't always mean that you reach the intended goal. Despite not being able to hit the "Mission Accomplished" goal button, which I so wanted to do, I've taken away so much valuable knowledge that EPM can only be called a success for me. I will use the tools from this course forever and will make back my investment. I may not have pulled it off in the allotted time frame but I KNOW that I will do it soon.
How did EPM help you become successful?
EPM helped me to build a group coaching experience that I will use to help many women find the peace and joy that I am now experiencing. Even though I didn't hit mission accomplished I am completely at peace about it because I know that I am a success. I will use all of the tools in the EPM toolbox for years to come and they will drive my future success to amazing heights.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I learned how to offer an experience product and despite not getting any takers for my course I believe in what I have to offer. There are people out there that need my help and the knowledge and experience I gained from building a course, marketing it, and staying true to it will impact everything I do in my business from here on. My course was supposed to start tomorrow and even though not one single person showed up for my discovery call, I had two no-shows, I continued to market it today. I wanted to quit but I didn't. I didn't reach the right people at the right time but they are out there and I will reach them somehow.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Before EPM I knew I wanted to help women through coaching, but I wasn't really sure how to go about it. I had a website that offered one-on-one coaching as well as my free discovery session for about two years with no takers. My website was built to promote my memoir in 2015 and needed a rebuild to reflect my new mission. However, I didn't even know where to start. I paid someone to build my Wordpress site and was so technically challenged that I had to pay someone to make changes every time I needed one. I paid for the Done-for-you website build through Heroic for my course before taking part in Murray and Daves webinars that showed me how easy it is to work in Heroic. I am in the process of moving my website to Heroic and building one that reflects my coaching goals. I am now equipped to make my business flourish.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product? I'm very excited to find out how to build on everything that I learned in EPM at the Message to Money conference. I believe that before I leave MTM, I will be able to say, mission accomplished. I'm excited to meet the people that I came to know through EPM there. I'm excited about watching all of the beautiful people I met through the class making a difference in people's lives and getting paid to do so. I'm thrilled that I will always have access to the course because I know that I will refer to it again and again.
