"I've been a professional tarot reader since 2005, and EPM brought the fun back into my business... It also showed in my finances: between December to January, I went from making $255 in my business to $1,481 - nearly 6x more money in ONE MONTH!"Not another course, I thought, as I got swept up into the webinars, the flashy videos, and the PDF urging me to buy it NOW. I have taken a lot of courses. A LOT. Some of them were absolutely awesome. And some of them I barely used... and once I got behind (procrastination, thy name is Hilary), there was no one reaching out to me to see if they could help me catch up, or even asking me why I wasn't engaged in their course.
Why would they? They already had my hard-earned cash. It was time for some savvy shopping. It was time for me to think about my course deal breakers and must-haves. And it was time to invest in courses that really cared about MY success... because my success in their course meant THEIR success, too.
So when Experience Product Masterclass came my way, I thought You know what? I’m going to outwit this one. I’m going to download ALL the free trainings and the PDFs… and I’m going to do it on my own, so I don’t have to pay one red cent. I did exactly that. Can you guess what happened?
INFORMATION OVERLOAD.I felt the overwhelm, the bile in my throat… my superiority complex went right out the window when I attempted to just take their formula and apply it on my own. Trying to apply everything all at once and feeling lost and guessing the entire time. I was overwhelming MYSELF, because the system was nothing without the explanation and the reasoning behind it.
I realized I simply could not do it alone. I bit the bullet, paid, and joined the course. And the fact that I am now launching The Tarot Intuitive Course? It’s a result of that work that I have been doing since the middle of October. It was worth every penny.
Here's what I learned: I couldn’t do it alone, and I wouldn't have appreciated or felt the value of the materials until I plunked down some cash in the "putting my money where my mouth is" variety. I also couldn't learn everything all at once. WHO CAN? Because they're right: information products are dead. People want experiences. You can learn pretty much everything you want to for free with the cost of an internet connection. But how do you know you're learning the most accurate information from the right teacher? Most of the time, you don't.
What I've found from the MANY online courses that I've taken, both for free and for pay, is that there's a difference between consumption of the course and taking action. You would think that the consumption of knowledge would be the more powerful piece, but it's not. Taking action is what creates momentum and drives you forward, in your business, in your life. Every time I pressed the send button on a marketing email, I wanted to vomit into my shoes… but the open and click rates didn't lie: they are far more popular than ANY of the newsletters I’ve sent before to my relatively small lists.
This journey through EPM has been INCREDIBLE. I've been a professional tarot reader since 2005, and EPM brought the fun back into my business... and helped me to remember that I'M the one in charge: Oracle in Chief! I feel so taxed emotionally and mentally at my full time day job that when I get home at night I didn't have the energy or strength to work on my own business. And when I did muster up the energy to work on my business? Normally I'd make only a few hundred dollars in my business each month.
But with EPM, I felt like I was having fun in my business again... it didn't feel like a chore to sit down and work on my business, and I was energized and engaged. It also showed in my finances: between December to January, I went from making $255 in my business to $1,481... nearly 6x more money in ONE MONTH! It's not just the money, honey. It's the feeling... and it's showing up in the best way for my clients too. Waking up to emails like this from my former business mentor: "This is a GREAT sales letter. DAMN. How'd you get so amazing?" I said back, "Maybe I'm born with it, and maybe it's the EXPERIENCE PRODUCT MASTERCLASS!"
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
My biggest takeaway from EPM is that the guru on the mountaintop style of product creation just DOESN'T work! I have created offerings before, off in my own little world... and literally NO ONE bought them. I assumed, and you know what they say about assuming... it makes an ass of u and me! But here's what does work: asking your clients what they want, and then delivering it to them in REAL TIME. Even if I only am teaching the shit outta one student, EPM was totally worth it. TOTALLY WORTH IT.
How did EPM help you become successful?
The mindset shifts and unconditional support from the facebook group and my assigned coach was priceless beyond words. I didn't feel lost in the shuffle like I have in many other online business courses... and I felt like everyone really cared about my success... because my success is THEIR success!
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I just feel generally more confident and in control of my business, even when I am taking those leaps of entrepreneurial faith and getting outside of my comfort zone. I say it so often to my clients to go where the fear is will help you make the biggest strides... but it is often easier said than done! I find myself walking my talk way more, and being open, honest, and vulnerable about my business, which connects me to the people I want to work with the most, and the people who want to work with me.

What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I'm most looking forward to teaching my course. Though I didn't hit mission accomplished, I do have 3 people enrolled in my first ever online class, and I taught the first session LIVE just last night... with tech snafus and glitches, my enthusiasm and theirs carried the day and there was SO MUCH MOMENTUM! Even though it was scary at first, I'm enjoying where the rubber meets the road and seeing where my first experience product takes me and my students... I'm looking forward to seeing the evolution of this course, which would never have come had I not been willing to see it through to the very end.
