While I didn't make Mission Accomplished by the deadline. I have learned a lot, especially by actually following the instructions and doing the launch. While the hard work, crazy working hours creativity and resourcefulness are mine, I owe a lot to the program, especially for the coaching. I now have the confidence that I WILL have a successful 1:many programs soon. I am finally comfortable that I can and will succeed in doing this. I had to actually do a launch to get to understand the process and also get a sense of how I can make it work for me. Not only is EPM an Experience Program, but it is also experiential learning by doing.
Doing the launch also made me ready to accept doing a 1:few program for this launch and to be ready to postpone the start date to make that happen. I don't have to say why; it doesn't have to look like a failure any more than my offering a Scholarship to my own program to those who need it does. I also realize that I can do other launches for the same program over different timeframes, with different amounts of coaching to make it less expensive.
I can record both the long and shorter versions and sell them along with a reduced amount of coaching for much less to appeal to those without money. I can revise my message and advertising plan and figure out how to appeal to those with fibromyalgia with discretionary money. That might require a Premium LinkedIn account and joining lots of groups. I need to hunt where the clients are. So, I think my next offering of the extended version will be a combination of Facebook and LinkedIn. I can also package and market an Exclusive Private Package and even a Fibro Retreat
The failure to make mission accomplished by the deadline has inspired me to make alternate program lengths and record the live delivery. Then, I can offer a variety of recorded options with different amounts of my "live" coaching and different price points to serve the needs of the market and to help the largest number of women with fibromyalgia possible, having much more Impact.
This core program can serve multiple markets with multiple options, all part of the Signature System and worthy of the original logo as part of their branding. This multiple options plan will become part of my Signature System which has lots more potential for modification. I'll market it to suit people with other chronic pain and fatigue illnesses. Then, another version can help entrepreneurs with chronic illnesses to improve both their business and their lives. It can take off on another branch to serve people with chronic illness to start a business. It can be repackaged again to serve people wounded in early childhood who now have developed illnesses and disabilities, also people like me.
I see practically unlimited potential for growth by keeping my core program and my core message, just modifying it for different audiences and that excites me. I have lots of management and team building experience to bring to a scalable business that employs other-abled creatives and salesforce.
My launch's failure to reach Mission Accomplished has uncovered details of my future successful and scalable business. I will keep working to build my followers and to build a list and gain lots of social as I progress though stages of growth. I see lots of travel to any place, other than the US , in my near future, then back to Hawaii as a welcome visitor.
See you at your Live Event after June 15, 2023 as a very successful businesswoman, over 70, with a really great story to tell and a successful book that tells it. Christine Rosas
Before I felt like I gauged business success solely in dollars. If I didn't reach my financial goal, I questioned if I was even capable of being a business owner. I'll be honest, I didn't reach Mission Accomplished with EPM. Yet, I believed I reached something bigger: the confidence to share my voice, my way. No matter what challenges may appear in my business journey, I now know my voice matters, and I'm gonna share it.
Marissa and her team helped me to realize that fear, anxiety and everyday life stresses happened to all business owners. And these are not a sign that I'm not capable in owning a successful online business. During EPM, I had end of school year for my kids, the Christmas holidays, traveling overseas with my family to visit family, and coming back jetlagged and having to get ready for the next school year. But I kept going. And I made an Experience Product and marketing materials I'm proud of. Now, I am the embodiment of Thomas Edison's quotes: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." However, I know with having the knowledge from EPM, it won't take me 10,000 tries. ;-)
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
I found confidence in sharing my true voice, and not the voice I am "supposed to have."
How did EPM help you become successful?
I kept going, even though the worry, doubt, and fear was so strong at times through the process.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I realized I want to share my message more than anything. Even though I didn't sell anything, I have the confidence to see marketing as testing. I didn't get so wrapped up in the "failure."
What has been the biggest change in your business?

What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
The heavy lifting is done! I have a solid course foundation. Now, it's all about finding the right people to join!
