The EPM has enabled me to get clarity on the coaching product that I am launching. I decided to delay the complete program to January 2021. Starting with a Masterclass that I am launching on November 4, 2020. The EPM has allowed me to create more cohesive messaging and get me out of my introvert ways! I am learning to connect with my potential customers in their language.
I found coaching sessions empowering. Coach Debra is the best!
"THE STORY OF MY JOURNEY TO EPM AND BEYOND
Jane Joseph
I have been someone who has been holding back, afraid to step into the limelight or become more visible, yet I knew I had a calling and wanted to fulfill it.
When I started this process in the area of wanting to be an entrepreneur, I went through a panic for a few days. I got myself into a commitment where I had to walk out who I WANTED TO BE. All of a sudden I found myself saying that I hated the course I had just committed to.
“I can’t do this! I never have become an entrepreneur, and probably never will! OH, GOD!”
All I wanted to do was escape! On the very day I had spent the money for Marisa’s Experience Product Masterclass training-through-experience course, suddenly the fears of failure, double doubts, in-capabilities looming large plus more… rose up in my face all at once.
In the middle of that mess, somehow I started seeing that I was being guided. It almost felt like God was saving me from myself. I felt a little encouragement. Then it started building over the course of weeks as it dawned on me that He was answering my prayers. He was getting me over the hump -- the hump I have been threatened by for years!
Finally, after not a little struggle, I realized my pride was what was holding me back. I thought, “Oh, not that! All these wasted years because of pride…”
I could hardly believe it! It still amazes me that for decades I couldn’t venture out there where I truly wanted to go because of my pride. Pride that I would fail. Pride that I would look bad; or at least not look good. Ha. Or that I might not do a perfect job; people could judge my performance or actions or decisions. For heaven sake, it was all the trappings of the fixed mindset holding me back from serving, mentoring, being the entrepreneur that I always wanted to be.
What really helped me take courage was the excellent 50+ training modules hand-crafted by Marisa Murgatroyd, and my very gifted Coach Debra.
The story doesn’t end there. I am almost done with the dreaded learn-through-experience course and have come to enjoy it immensely. I am holding my head high today as I ride this bike out into your world, putting down my pride and taking up the humility it takes to put myself out there and serve in the great Kingdom of God as a coach, mentor, entrepreneur – I am calling myself a “mentorpreneur” these days as I roll out my very own Diamond Life Coach Academy, learn-by-experience course, LIVE YOUR CALLING – BASIC, and am looking upward for greater and greater things, for God isn’t finished with me yet.

THE STORY OF MY JOURNEY TO EPM AND BEYOND
Jane Joseph
The best course I have ever taken - I'm not done yet - I have made great progress and am still very excited to continue learning, utilizing my EPM archives as my guide. For the first time, through EXPERIENCE, Marisa's fine course modules, and my excellent Coach Debra, I have a product idea, the courage to put it out there, and because I know EMP is first class, I can be proud of what I have to offer and how I offer it.
Since my biggest problem was fear of being judged publicly, I have received confidence that I have solid experience training to go for it!. I will finally become the entrepreneur I always wanted to be. Courage through experience was step one.

I did not make my goal, in fact I didn't make a sale, BUT I KNOW I am close, and truly think within the next few weeks, I will exceed my goal. After finishing EPM, I have the knowledge I need! I know it! Just with pandemic and learning from experience I didn't get the traction I had hoped for. If I had switched some of my marketing, it may have been different. I am so excited for the future! I am so grateful for this course, Marissa and Coach Debra. I can't wait to see what is next and make this course a success, then replicate what I have learned to future courses.
I feel more confident, because of this program, my course is set up better and will help people (get people better results then what I had before.
I handed in my notice only 4 days prior to lockdown with no idea what to do next!
I wasn’t sure what to do, my audience was tiny and I hadn't been in touch with them for 3 years!...should I try and get another job or do what I've always dreamed of and go it alone?
I decided to decide ...I joined EPM, I decided to believe in myself. I picked something and offered a LIVE online workshop and delivered it to 17 people ....the results were immense.
I re-offered the same workshop, recorded, as part of the EPM mission and so many more joined the workshop....and I smashed my mission accomplished stretch goal....wow, I barely believed I would achieve mission accomplished!
I now feel optimistic about the future and feel excited to be able to help more people.
Your Mission Accomplished Story
I’ve always known I wanted to create a home management program that was different from others in my niche, but I lacked confidence in presenting it. Discovering Experience Product Masterclass was like finding a soul mate - it embodies the spirit I wanted my own program to have. I knew that EPM would guide me through creating a rich experience for my clients, my number one priority, but the parts of the program I didn’t expect were actually what helped me the most. Building up the details I knew I was missing and creating a program that follows Marisa’s Core Experience Escalation plan were what drew me in. Finding that my sales and marketing skills were also challenged to grow is what gave me the confidence to move forward. I learned how to spread my enthusiasm for my topic instead of simply relying on a checklist of features.
I joined EPM to complete and improve the methodology of my program: that was the mission goal I knew I’d reach. The other skills the program teaches and the support of my coach were the hidden gems that gave me the confidence that was the true missing element for me. Now not only do I have the type of in-depth experience program I always wanted to create, I also believe in my ability to communicate with my audience in a way that is simple and convincing which is the driver behind success in sales.

What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
It’s not enough to know the technical side of your business, you have to reach the hearts of your customers and create something they can’t do without.
How did EPM help you become successful?
With the steps in the EPM blueprint and the support of my coach, I got out of my own head and learned to showcase my product in ways that really grab potential clients.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
With multiple chronic health conditions, being my own boss is pretty much the only way I can contribute income to my family. But running a business isn’t for the faint of heart and my lack of confidence was holding me back. EPM has given me the tools to build it up for myself in meaningful ways that will support me for the life of my business.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
When writing or speaking about my program/business, my brain seems to work in 2 modes: to the point checklist or overly complicated novella. Neither of these is particularly effective from a sales standpoint, so the lessons in EPM which draw out the best of these and challenge me to hone and improve the way I write and speak about my program, have helped me create a sales site I can be proud of.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I’ve always known that I wanted to create a program that turned something boring but necessary into something to look forward to. I’m really excited to create a community of people who are happy to get together to work on creating their own sense of success.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I have to admit that a financial goal is an attractive one, but the true mission I had in mind for my time with EPM was gaining confidence. That may mean that my “mission accomplished” is different from most others, but for me it was more important. Having confidence not only in one's program but in the ability to connect with customers is the bedrock of financial success. EPM’s blueprint guided me while my coach supported and challenged me to be my best. An illness during my 12 weeks may have prevented me from acting on all of the marketing plans EPM helped me build, but my foundations have been set, my skills have been honed, and I can happily say I reached the “mission accomplished” goal that has the most impact on my future success.

What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
The biggest takeaway for me was learning how to keep my clients engaged and excited all the way through the 7 weeks. Implementing micro commitments and micro wins. Free giveaways in the middle to make them feel special. Using more stories to increase their emotional connection.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Even though we have not made any money as yet. we now have a product that we are proud of and are keeping going. This is just the beginning.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Has given us more confidence

What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?

Before I came to EPM, I'd done a few extremely expensive courses but apart from finding them laborious and mind numbingly boring, even when I managed to stumble to the end of the programme, I always felt that I hadn't learnt any new insights or that the methods they used were passe and even a bit disingenuous.
And so I became quite disillusioned. I knew I had a brilliant method to help a lot of mothers who had children who learnt differently but I was at a loss with regards to how I could craft a course explaining how to unlock the potential of these children. Many parents with children who have learning difficulties need so much help but I couldn't figure out how to craft and market a course that would engage them in a great experience but also teach them what they needed to know.
And then I came across EPM and of course, at first, I was skeptical. My husband, more so, and there was much eye rolling from him when I first told him that I would like to give yet another course a try. He even made me ring Marisa, all the way in the States ( we live in London) to ask questions, and reiterate that the guarantee was real.
But from entering EPM's Welcome page, I knew it was different. So different that I cried from joy. From the moment I got in, I ravenously ate it all. I couldn't get enough. Each training gave me so many ah- ha moments and it was truly an amazing experience. And so now, I want to pass it on and will be delivering my first course in a few days time. I'm so excited but even more excited for my students. My husband's incredulous at how I've managed to do in a few months, what I'd been trying to do for years, and of course, because he's a lecturer, I'd been sharing all the insights I had while doing EPM and on a number of occasions, he's actually been quite blown away with Marisa's methods of getting people to the finish line.
I'm so grateful to Marisa and her amazing coaches. Doing this course has set me up for a wonderful future and I can't tell you how much this is going to change mine and my families life.
I had always wanted to do something for those in Africa, particularly because there isn't much for children, there, who are on the spectrum. I've already been approached for some online workshops that i'll be delivering in 2021 and I'm feeling so positive about what the future holds.
I now have the confidence to charge a good price for my course because I can insert various experiences that wow my students and give them a great momentum right through to the end. I can charge more, I now have a website which is the envy of all my friends, I know my purpose and I'm excited for the future.
It gave me the tools to craft a course that thrills, engages, teaches and transform. I feel on top of the world. I truly feel i'm a total expert in my field.
I have been teaching in person for more than 6 years, helping artisans get their beautiful pieces of art for sale on the internet. When COVID happened this spring I realized I was going to have to take a leap and try something new. I could have figured out on my own but I wanted to learn it fast and with help and I magically found Live Your Message. A few coaching sessions later I was in EPM.
I have so many ideas and EPM really helped me to focus my thoughts. Having a coach like Debra was just what I needed for my sanity. Just someone to throw ideas at and get feedback if I was going in the right direction.
The honest truth is I set a deadline a bit ahead of the classes for myself and I went for it. Before I was even in the marketing section of the class well, my class was FULL. The word of mouth from teaching before had me receiving a total of 53 sign-up. Thank goodness for the marketing section because it helped me to narrow it down to what I need to do (no more and no less). I ended up using just an application campaign to narrow down the first class to manageable list!
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Having a clear concise end vision helps to develop a class.
How did EPM help you become successful?
Helped me to get thoughts out and developed Into a well-structured course
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
Just helped me to get it together and leap - helped me to prove to myself that I can do it!.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
How I do my marketing.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I am learning so much as I go...I look forward to getting to the end and iterating again with the next class
Unfortunately I didn't end up selling my product. Mostly due to my own lack of confidence. I'm thankful that I will have the materials to come back to so I can continue to work at this. I'm determined to get there. I'm not successful yet. But I can see the way forward.
I learned so much in EPM that I can't even begin to know where to start. I needed help getting clear on my marketing language and a platform I could use for my students. Through EPM and coaching, I refined my messaging so that my product is super clear, and have realized that less is more...I don't have to do all the things to be successful or sell people. I can hone in on one thing and build on it. Through my efforts, I continued to build my list and have breakthrough calls weekly, with many people converting to clients. While my product is an online course, I actually sold a women into my 1:1 coaching program which netted me $1800 in one setting. I've pre-sold 4 spots into my course so far and am excited to continue promoting through the launch in just a few weeks as I anticipate more sales. Thank you Marissa and Debra for putting together such a detailed, thoughtful experience, and for pushing me outside of my comfort zone.
