I’m a Stress & Anxiety therapist based in the UK and I’ve been doing this for over 10years. But I was stressed out and anxious from going through a feast or famine cycle in my business. I worked as a College Counsellor and when redundancy was looming I up-skilled to CBT therapy. The whole point of upskilling to CBT therapy was to support me in self-employment during my old age! (I am on the wrong side of 50). But I soon realised it wasn’t going to make me a millionairess any time soon.
Self employment has been tough …thank God for a supportive partner who has always encouraged me to keep going. Without blowing my own trumpet – I’m good at what I do and get great results. But It’s been a case of feast or famine despite my previous business know-how from the music business. This is my second attempt at launching an online course. I did so late 2016 with Emotional Skills Training for Men ..but failed! So I was extremely wary of spending a whole heap of money, and failing miserably again.
I watched Marisa’s course for over a year, and even witnessed the famous Marisa-gate disastrous webinar she talks about. But this didn’t put me off her, it simply made her more human (especially the email which made me warm to her). The EPM Program was the best decision I made at the end of 2018. Despite having had a bereavement (my son passed away in the Summer), I was ready to get back into the world and kick some ass! The EPM ideas are sensible modern day business practices. They are compelling, delivered slowly to avoid overwhelm, with lots of supportive info. And with the 3 professional touch points during the week and great coaches it was a no-brainer (value for money).
I always thought learning online should be waaaay much more fun and definitely a memorable experience – and this was. Despite not reaching mission accomplished with my “Stop Feeling Stressed Out” program, I am confident that I can do this successfully …perhaps with more input from the team Marisa and the amazing friends for life I've made on this journey (you know who you are!)
