Your GRADUATION Story
"I had a dream of having my own business for many years. Finally, that chapter of my life was upon me. As I made the decision to step out of my comfort zone and dive into this uncharted territory, fears overcame me shouting “How do I do this?” “Where do I even start?”
Of the several mentors I had been listening to, Marissa stood out as one who had fought the battle and found her way through the desert to the land of promise. So, I attended her workshop, “Crack Your Course Idea Challenge” and I was moved to join EPM.
The Experience Product Masterclass has been an exciting adventure filled with moments of both exasperation and triumph. Some sessions took me longer than others as I dove deep into my world of exploring the possibilities in front of me. I have learned so much! She has helped me tackle my procrastinating thoughts and overcome limiting beliefs. She has helped me realize this amazing world of online coaching and training has a perfect place for me to combine many decades of healthcare and organizational expertise into a wonderful program for busy professionals. It provided a way for me reach people outside the walls of the hospital and still be able to offer critical information for their wellbeing.
Thank you, Marissa, for showing me how to extend my life’s journey of helping others into a wonderful new pathway! I am looking forward to all the wonderful relationships and stories I will be able to partake in and nurture in this exciting new world.

This has provided a launching pad for me for my new business. My success with EPM has provided wings for me to start flying! Anything is possible :) Having and growing my own business to watch people transform and find their wings to fly.
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 found the module on experiencifying the best. I would have loved to have gone deeper into it -- maybe with a higher level group. Because I'm a much more advanced entrepreneur the group coaching calls were not helpful and I found most of the materials were below my level of experience. Please know I am not disappointed (I knew in speaking with your coaches before enrolling that it was for newbies) but I would have loved it if you had offered a higher level group pror people like me who have been in business for yeargram fos and are making 7 figures. I think there's a market for it. I really enjoyed getting to look at my programs and offerings from a very different perspective. I think Marisa is very innovative, so I really enjoyed getting to take apart my previous method of course creation and building in something brand new..
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
I found it incredibly helpful in gamifying my program.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Honestly, the most helpful part was watching how you structured this program and seeing how you got people engaged. II found that inspiring.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I think this new program I've created is much more engaging.
I was having trouble finding time to create and launch my first course. I wasn't sure how to bump this dream to the top of my list without feeling I was letting other important things slide. I joined EPM and while I ended up having to trade the time I spent building my email list and launching my first course, for being able to fully participate in EPM, this experience finally gave me the kick in the pants I needed to make my dream a reality and reach mission accomplished!
"My Graduation Story:
I'm so glad that I did EPM! I already had a product in mind when I started and was looking for a better way to present it. Originally, it was to launch in Feb. I had a setback in late November when my Facebook page got hacked. I had no access to FB for 3 weeks, so couldn't connect with the community. And I was scrambling to protect my account, my contacts, and my content. Then I sold my house in WA and moved to CO, so the month of December was busy packing up 23 years' worth of stuff. So I got quite behind, and honestly didn't think I would launch anything.
I made my mind up that I would at least graduate, so I could label my products as EPM products. And I moved my summit to April, with plans to do a free event in March. Buying the year-long for Xperiencify was part of that decision to graduate.
Then on Jan 29, I decided ""what the hell"", I'm just going to launch a beta version of my April course on Feb 20-21. I quickly created an email and sent it to my list of 1700, promoted on FB with public & private posts, asked a few friends to send to their lists. It was just some copy and a CTA to just say YES and I would connect. I was hoping to get 35 ladies to register to hit MA, but I only got 13.
WAHOO anyway!!! I was so happy that I got 13 in only 2 days! And I still have time to get to 35 before the event starts on Feb 20! Now I realize how simple it was, and I'm positive that if I had not given in to the MMF, I could have reached MA if I had just done it a few days earlier! I'm grateful to the part of me that rose up and said let's do this! So now I have proof that I can do it!! My coach Matthew Turton was a huge support during that quick last-minute decision and launch. He never gave up on me!
Thanks Marisa Murgatroyd, Murray Gray, the best coach Matthew Turton, Emily Fontes, and LYM team for showing me the way!
I'm in the process of setting up my main summit, which will be $197. Then I will have Murray's team create my 12-week course based on my new book coming out in the Spring.
EPM has been well worth the time, energy, and money that I have put into it. I'm excited for a long and successful run with Xperiencify. I'm ready!

I had been planning to create an online meditation course for about 5 years but never got around to it. I kept putting it off because I didn't know where to start or what should be included. I didn't know how I would promote it, or how to structure the material so that it would engage and retain the students who enrolled in my course. I joined the Experience Product Masterclass (EPM) and everything started to fall into place. I had mentors, coaches and lots of feedback on my work. I discovered how to structure my course, how to make it attractive to potential students, and how to market it without breaking the bank. As I reached the end of the course my original idea for an online course had evolved into a well-designed, content-rich product that I could confidently launch, market and deliver to the students who would buy and participate in my course.
After launching my MVP Plan, I was definitely feeling challenged to have a conversation with a prospective client about my course and the benefits it offered, but I decided not to think about it, but rather to just do it, and see what happened. I shared in depth and answered many questions and then plucked up the courage to go for the sale. It was a resounding YES, followed by, “the Course sounds extraordinary” - - needless to say, I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome. The next day, I received a message from my prospect to say that she had spoken to a friend about the Course and that her friend wanted to participate also. WOW! This has given me so much confidence to keep going, to keep building out my sessions and deliverables to make them first class, and to keep chatterboxing!
Your PROVED MY IDEA Story
I was having doubts on how to fulfill the promise I wanted to make. I wasn't sure how to deliver the results that my clients desperately needed - a way to make work fun and end the isolation of entrepreneurs who want to feel included (seen, heard, supported, encouraged). I joined EPM because I felt like they spoke to results for people rather than just marketing to get them in the door. I tested their teaching methods and their delivery methods and found even I stayed on board and am on point to finish strong.
How's EPM and your success impacted your life?
I am much more confident in my ability to fulfill on my promise of universal student support for entrepreneurs who want to get great results from courses and programs they've already paid for in 2022.
What's your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Everything is figureoutable and I am capable of achieving quick, clear, valuable results.
What's now possible for you because of your Experience Product?
I can fulfill my purpose of No Learner Left Behind - Adult Version!
"My main challenge was to package my knowledge from 35+ years of studying and applying transformational information into an attractive package to remove the barrier that is stopping women to take a look at themselves, why they are not happy, and seek council, despite taking all sorts of drugs. I am still not sure that the MVP I have chosen is the right one, yet, putting it more into the market will show if it is. After the Finish Line, I will tweak the entire program further, knowing now how important certain aspects of program creating are.
It was and still kinda is frustrating knowing so much that can help women be healthier because they are happier and understand life somewhat now, and not able to reach them.
The competition is fierce, yet, I have my own way of presenting the ancient material, and that jazzes with some, and those are the ones I am looking for.
I joined EPM because I thought I could piece my stuff together, put it on paper, in those 12 weeks without going bunkers, however what I discovered was and still is, that there is so very much to putting a program together that attracts clients, that as such I am allowing myself 3 months to renew my program and tie up the loose ends in order to feel good about my MVP.
I also majorly bumped into myself (again), despite being a RTT hypnotherapist, and that is good, challenging me to work on myself in 1 specific area - still not feeling good enough to help others. Yep, such is life.
So the results I got are not earth shattering, just a huge learning curve, and I would say 75% completion of the path I want to take with my MVP. However, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting great people, learning amazing material that is transforming my way of looking at my biz, and moving forward with a smile on my face."
Your GRADUATION Story
I was overwelmed by the other courses I had bought to start an online course, I was not sure how to advance without getting scattered. I joined EPM and I found the step by step process and warm encouragement I needed. I diligently followed the program and got clear on the steps to come.
