When I discovered EPM through a partner email, I had never heard of Marisa or LYM. I was stuck in my business having had quite a bit of success in the beginning of 2020 with a coach and then signed up for a dud program and coach and was feeling duped and disallusioned. I already had a program that had grossed 6K in the first launch but I needed to improve it and revamp it. Watching Marisa’s webinar I was engrossed in the concept of experencification. As a trainer of counsellors I am used to the ‘boring/dry’ world of academia and realised that my students didn’t need another one of those. Marisa’s teaching style and the professionalism of the team really impressed me and I knew I had to do it. I was also sceptical though having been burned by a poor choice which I was still paying for. The structured delivery style really sits with my learning style and level of support in this program from Marisa and her team is amazing and for the price you pay I have not seen anything like it. I was so impressed that when the opportunity arose to join Momentum, (year long mentoring program) I did. Mission accomplish has not yet happened for me and that was all me and nothing to do with the amazing support and tools that are supplied to us. I started strong but life happens and for me a family member with a mental health crisis took my ship off course. At first I couldn’t cope with everything going on so had to take a break and off course that led me to feeling like a failure, BUT towards the end of EPM I picked myself (despite things getting worse personally) and dusted myself off and kept going and have managed to graduate. I am still in the process of updating my program and aim to be marketing in March 2021. I did bring my other program from another platform into Xperencify all by myself of which I am very proud and the support on that program is like nothing I have seen. I cannot recommend this product enough if you want to create an online program or course, if you have a burning passion to do something in the online space and have something to share with the world - you will not get this level of support anywhere else for the price - thanks Marisa, Coach Ed, and the whole EPM team

I took a course I have been teaching in person for over a decade and created a 90-day course out of it because I realized one important component was missing: accountability. So I followed EPM to the letter and launched my course, offering a $750 gift certificate for 48 hours, which brought the cost down 50%. I offered 1) single payment and 2) two-payment options. All three people chose the two-payment option and set up meetings to discuss the course during the 48 hour period. I was working the course at a pretty good clip until we got to the chatterboxing module. I froze. Asking for a sale has always been a challenge for me. But I took it at my own pace and applied what I was learning to the best of my ability and was amazed when it worked. I learned two important things: 1) I need to learn to value myself in order to have my followers value what I teach them, and 2) I am not taking people's money when I ask for a sale. I am creating a fair exchange for services. This is going to change my life. Thank you
I was challenged by needing to create a program I could offer online twice a year but was having problems creating it in a way that was organized and concise, and also getting people to pay for it. I joined EPM and learned how to organize my program by following the milestones and modules to the letter, including doing things I thought I already knew how to do. What I discovered is by learning how to believe in the program I was teaching and not being intimidated by selling it my clients/studenta and I would all benefit.
Your GRADUATION Story
"I am dedicated to getting my Mission Accomplished and I am finding that I chatterbox like crazy and learn that people are willing to keep their eyes and ears opened to help with referrals when they find people that need my help. They, themselves, share that they do not need to know how to limit screen time for a variety of reasons such as, they do not have children, their children are grown, they don’t want to upset the balance they have with in-law relationships by inferring that their families need help with their children on screen time… and on and on. I am learning to use the technology that I need to use to reach my ideal clients in different ways and I know that the Supercharge Sessions will help me with what I need to do, but at the same time, I am discouraged in that there is a great chance that I will not get to Mission Accomplished by January 30, 2023 and will not have made the enrollment conversations required by the end of the EPMasterclass. The time sequence is just too short for me to reach my clients and to learn all the digital skills that I need to reach Mission Accomplished in 12 weeks. When I joined EPM, I instinctively KNEW this course is what I needed to be successful. I have taken so many other courses (Project Next, Unleash the Power Within, Virtual Coach, and now EPM). I feel that I need more time to accomplish my mission and I need to learn more about digitally marketing my course in order to reach those who need my help.
On top of keeping on track with the Training, Worksheets, and My Personal Milestone Documents… I was hospitalized in late in November, with Covid. A CAT scan showed multiple large blood clots. I am receiving treatment, I am on the mend, and I am Very Blessed to be alive! I KNOW it is because I have a Mission, and I WILL ACCOMPLISH My Mission! I am in the process of learning that it will take longer than I had projected… But it WILL get done!
For a while, I was concerned with what I had to do to qualify for the EPM Guarantee. But then I realized that in focusing on what was to be accomplished to meet the guidelines for the guarantee, I was really telling myself that I wasn’t going to be able to make the cost of taking the course on my own… that, I was failing! Anyone who knows me, knows that I don’t believe in failure… I believe in results and in learning what doesn’t work, from those results. So, I need to focus on what needs to be done for success in my course, even if I can’t make the results happen in 12 weeks or less and qualify for the EPM guarantee .
Thanks to Coach Lucas (#bringiton) for ALWAYS being there to offer suggestions, cheer me on and OVERDELIVER! I’ve learned A Lot, and I will continue to make my way to Mission Accomplished, No Matter How Long it Takes!"
What's now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
The Sky is the LImit!
I was having problems knowing where to start, I wasn't sure what to focus on. I joined EPM and discovered there are strategic steps in creating a profitable online course. By following the modules and having a Coach who was both supportive and kept me accountable, I was able to launch my MVP.
Your GRADUATION Story
Inwas struggeling with finding the micro niche. Still I adapt it and make it more concise according to what I learn from chatterboxing and sales conversions.
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
Conversations are great fun and from each prospect I learnt so much.
After 30 years working with and earning from 1:1 sessions, I atarted offering a group program It kept me very busy in a great way. It speeded up the whole process of creating, marketing and selling a group program My desire of working with groupsv camev true
Your GRADUATION Story
I was having a challenge completing courses that I purchased, I wasn’t sure what to focus on or even how to get started (class, group calls, hot seat, one-on-one coaching). I joined EPM and received my own EPM 2023 Personal Milestone Doc. I followed it precisely and completed each milestone (even when I felt like I couldn't keep up) which resulted in my first completed online course!!!
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
I wanted to create a course for landlords. I had lots of topic ideas, but not a single idea how or where to start. I joined EPM and discovered that the first time didn't have to be perfect. In fact, I noticed that some of the courses I had taken weren't even ready when until after a group of students signed up. I followed the EPM motto of "progress over perfection" and now have a course that is ready to launch.
I'm more focused and have a feeling of accomplishment. EPM has motivated me more than any course I've taken since law school. The Milestone doc kept me moving through the process even when I didn't feel finished with the previous milestone. I realized that completing a milestone was more important than getting it just right because I could always go back and fine tune later. This is actually how I write my legal briefs, but didn't realize it until taking this course. I have a whole new perspective on my creative process. Get it done now, even if you have to fix (fine tune) it later, Wash, rinse, and repeat. I feel like I could create any number of courses on any number of subjects using the processes EPM taught me.
I have been a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom for the past 13 years. I have played the supporting role in my family and even though I was always given love and respect from my husband and children, I always felt like I wanted to contribute more. More to our finances, more to the lives of others, and more to myself. So, I took my passion of health, food, and planning food for my fam and decided to become a nutrition coach to help other moms find peace with their bodies and how they ate and fed their own families. It can be a very emotional journey and I'm very in tune with it since it's my own journey as well. Even though I have a strong passion to help, I was missing clarity on how exactly to run a business. Or how to put myself out there to run my business. I'm an introvert, but not only that, I have a tendency to shy away from taking up space or time. I'm always trying to ""get out of the way."" I've taken other course to learn strategies to launch my business, but none of them addressed the mindset of a business the way EPM and Marisa has.
I found your Dopamine webinar on a lark and I immediately knew I wanted to take this course. I could tell it was different. I'm never a fast-action taker. I like to sit on a decision and go back and forth about whether it's right or the money is worth it or [insert some other excuse here.] I watched as many of Marisa's webinars as possible. Even staying on one for 4 hours, I think. I never, ever do this. But the energy was right and I could feel it. I have never been more sure about joining a course and I signed up on the first public webinar as soon as I could enter my information. I knew it was going to be different, and I was right.
EPM has been one of the best experiences of my life. That’s not to say I didn’t have challenges accepting this work as part of my life. I have had so many things come up and out from trying to launch my own business that I can hardly believe it. Things I didn’t even realize I was holding onto. It’s almost been a form of therapy while showing me I could actually benefit from therapy. Ha! Even though I’ve long held the belief that we all could benefit here, it was never so present than while working towards helping others. This experience has only made me stronger, and I am very grateful for it.
Through EPM I found clarity in my business that I only dreamed of. Marisa helped me put my passion into words. Words that I can actually say to other people! :) I have no doubt that I can succeed at my work, even if it morphs into something different than I attempted here. No, I did not hit mission accomplished, but I accomplished so much more. I was given the gift of belief. Belief in myself and in my passion. That I really will excel at this type of work in my life. That I was made to help others. If I can touch the lives of those I work with even a fraction of the amount that Marisa has touched the people here in EPM then I will consider myself an epic success.
In all honesty, I am feeling completely defeated in not hitting Mission Accomplished. I truly believed that I would jump the hurdle and make it happen. I feel like someone better than me would have been able to sell my course and succeeded. I envisioned myself winning here, and I was pumped! I wrote post-it notes all around me to remind myself that I could get this done, and yet, I didn’t. I feel like I let EPM down, and my coach down, and worst of all myself. But, in saying that, I know that I had some huge successes during my time here. I made my first sale ever! Yes, I only have one person signed up in my course, but it was the first money I’ve ever been paid! So WIN!! I’ve also created a framework I’m super proud of. I know it will change and evolve, but I’ve never been able to get my ideas out and organized in this way. I can see a path forward and that is beautiful to me. I have pushed through some giant mental blocks and chatted with people in groups and messages that I didn’t know. I’ve put myself out there in uncomfortable ways. I even have a call scheduled with someone who runs a paid membership group for parents about being a guest speaker to her audience! I never would have had the confidence to do that before EPM.
Thank you. Thank you to your entire team. To my coach, Coach Jordan. To Matthew and Emily. To Murray. And most of all, thank you, Marisa. For giving so much of yourself and your wisdom to us. For believing in us whether we hit Mission Accomplished or not. I appreciate the work you’re doing more than I can even express. <3
With love,
Tessa Spears
"While I’ve created and presented world-class leadership coaching, workshops and Keynotes globally in-person (for decades, to significant organizations), I had created little to offer online. And when Covid changed our world, I was caught, unprepared to do business, in this new environment.
For many months, I completed multiple courses - each claiming to be the crème de la crème for online course creation. Investing many thousands of dollars, with little to show for it.
In fact, I was in the middle of the third of those other course creation programs, when I happened across Marissa’s EPM concept. And it somehow resonated differently, even offering a money-back guarantee. So I bit, and invested ;-)
Within minutes of receiving course access, it was clear that this was truly different than the other programs. Maybe it was how it included gameification (introducing the innovative, Xperiencify.io content delivery platform. Or maybe it was how clearly the modules were laid out - in a way that inspired my self confidence in completing the course, and achieving Mission Accomplished to create and deliver my first online course, within just a few months.
After just two weeks in the program, I had already experienced the profound power of the support provided to students. In addition to solid content modules, a significant resource was 1-on-1 support/review of specific course milestones – each designed to move me to Mission Accomplished.
And so helpful too were the multiple, weekly coaching calls: ‘Monday with Marissa’, ‘Wednesday with Coach Jennifer’, and Friday ‘technology triage’ group coaching calls. On each call, specific coaching was provided from questions asked by us students. And while each call helped one student at a time in the hot seat, I learned so much too via this ‘side-door’ coaching. In fact, I was honoured to receive hotseat coaching on my Mission Statement from Marissa once, and from Coach Jennifer several times (much appreciated!)
To be sure, at times (ok more than a few!), I considered throwing in the towel. With the base program and optional XPM, extra points activity, it was truly ‘work’ to get it done!
Here’s what kept me in the game: the inter-student support in the EPM Facebook Group - confirming my colleagues were also facing these hurdles – and we supported each other. Most helpful too, Marissa and her awesome team of coaches were also in there daily, supporting us too!
In the end, I did achieve Mission Accomplished, creating and delivering my first online course: “Nix Negativity NOW! – what you can, and must do, about negativity, wherever you find it!” And financially, while EPM set $2,000 as a minimum goal to achieve, I proudly exceeded my own pre-set (at the start of EPM) stretch goal of $10,000 from 11 paying students.
So a special thank you to you, Marissa and to your awesome team for this experience. In addition to completing and delivering my first online course, I’m confident I can duplicate the process, on my own now, for more online courses (I have 7 existing courses to adapt to online).

The email said 'if you are seeing this message then it might be a sign""... and I felt something in me say This is just for you...and acted on it. A friend said 'can't believe you fell for that one' but I was able to let her know that even within the first month in EPM I know it has been one of THE MOST EMPOWER CHOICES i have made in my working life. So do glad I trusted my gut.
I have created online courses over the last 10 years, have invested in a number of courses on how to make courses but nothing has been more powerful nor upskilled me more than EPM. All those other courses also now make much more sense because the experience process has embedded the learnings and made the big picture clearer than it has ever been before. I will deliver a much much better product for supporting life choices in the 21st century thanks to EPM.
MA and so much more is clear and so doable now. EPM has put everything that has been going around in my head for years into flow. Letting go of my 'darlings', going from info product to experience product, experiencing setbacks as the absolute norm for good learning experiences in this industry. Marissa has an incredible way for tapping into our stories and keeping momentum with accountability. Teaching by example all the time.
The tech discussions and support have been absolutely integral to making this real. The coaching regularity, the community stories...the content.
NEVER have I felt I have been given so much value, and so much from the heart...and never have I taken so many action steps.
Gratitude in buckets. Bring on LYM Live!
My Course starts March 17 and marketing is ready to up the anti. The first sale felt like such a celebration
I'm a very organized person and very goal oriented. I have taught some people how to set goals and visions. I really felt like I needed to help others also. My problem was that I didn't know how to do this, where do I start. I joined EPM and learned so much. They made it so easy, gave you all the tools to work with and a fantastic coach to help you through. I was able to set up my own class and learned how to get clients without feeling like I was a salesperson.
