I was already running a successful 6-figure business but really I just owned my job. I was still trading time for money. I knew I was tired, burned out and there had to be a better way. I also felt an increasing call to offer something of service to the world instead of the daily grind I had been doing for almost 20 years. My business had provided for myself and my family but there had to be more than just "making a living", right?
That's when I found Experience Product Masterclass and Maris Murgatroyd. The 3-video series leading up to cart open for EPM gave me hope. It made me realize I was not alone and there might actually be someone with an answer to the struggles and unfulfilled feelings I was having around my professional life.
I was one of the people that had to watch every single video (a few times), the entire 3-hour live event and read every testimonial before I finally made the commitment and allowed me to invest in myself. Not just the money but the time it would take to make it through this 10-week course.
Boy am I glad I did! From the first day, I was hooked. I looked forward to every new training. Marisa has a way of not only teaching you something you wish you had known 10 years ago about business but making it FUN!
And that's just the business stuff. I've learned more about myself as a person, a woman and a business owner in the last 10 weeks than in the last 6 years in business.
The coaches and community are second to none. I've never felt so supported in an online group before. People actually want to help me succeed. They're not just "acting nice" they genuinely care about me and my product.
While I did not meet mission accomplished within the 10-week timeframe of the course, I did get more than my money's worth. I found a solid product idea. Learned how to experiencify it, find my target market, find out what they want in a product and learn how to get started marketing it. I know I will complete mission accomplished in just a few more weeks.
Even though I have not yet sold the product I started during EPM, the skills, techniques and mindset I've learned have already helped me increase my current business by 20%. I'm more productive, have more clarity and offer my clients a better experience than before EPM.
I have bought more courses than I care to admit over the years. Some I would finish, most I wouldn't. There was never any doubt from that first "ka-ching" that I would finish EPM. This is not just the next shiny object, it's an immersive course that engages you, encourage you and helps make sure if you'll put in just a little bit of effort it will get it you across the finish line.
It also makes it not only ok but encouraged to fail along the way. I didn't have to do everything perfectly to get value from the course. In fact the more "fails" I had the more I learned and the more clarity I gained.
I want to say thank you to Marisa, Murray, Don, Christine, Coach Susan, the Facebook group and my entire coaching pod for all of the knowledge, encouragement, help, tough love and motivation you provided along my journey <3
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
I can do anything I set my mind to. I would never have thought I could have so many personal mindset breakthroughs and growth in such a short period of time.
How did EPM help you become successful?
It has given me more confidence in my current business and more determination than ever that I want to move in a new direction which is where the experience product I am designing will take me.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I have a ton more confidence in my abilities outside of the arena I've been playing in for 20 years. I know my experiences, ideas and personality are valuable and I can create something that will help people.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Just the mindset has helped me increase my monthly income by 20%. This is not from selling my experience product which I have not even marketed yet but from using information and tools I've learned in EPM and applying them to my current business and customers.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I can't wait to get started marketing and see how all the positive changes I can help bring about with small businesses, entrepreneurs and how they track, manage and put their business profits to use.
