Holy cow! Mind, BLOWN! I'm an information marketer and have bought into the "Thud" formula you mentioned. It worked well five years ago but my results have been dwindling over the past few years. And from the beginning, even when I had hundreds of people buying my information programs, I know their consumption and success rates were very low. NOW I understand why.
Your training resonates so deeply with me I was in tears watching this today. I want to start giving my clients those experiences through my valuable information that will create the RESULTS they crave. Your free content videos are amazing and I've gotten so much out of this first 80+ minutes of training.
Honestly, I rarely (I might even go so far as to say NEVER) watch a free video series all the way from start to finish, especially if it's over about 15 minutes long. I'm so glad you encouraged me to watch all the way to the end on video #1. That was great advice.
I'm excited about the long list of things I've already committed to change based on what I learned so far and can't wait for the next two videos and next steps. Let's do this!
Your Graduation Story
I started EPM having written the book, The Authorities which is going up in price in the US and selling in the UK and Emirates for $100. I am a featured author in the book, Rock Stars that made # 1 on Amazon--- also co-authored the #1 amazon seller, Fight for Your Dreams with Les Brown. I am working on my 4th book which I know will be awesome for the content answers so many questions that were not answered when I went to school, and I don't find in any other source. I am not even marketing my books nor do I have a website. Although it is through The EPM program that I developed the clarity to begin to create a website thus I joined the WebsiteATM.
Through the EPM process I developed my skills to develop a course that is more engaging and user friendly while at the same time improving the way I developed the content of my upcoming book. Essentially killing two birds with one stone. I have been on this journey for a very long time, took courses from many of the people in the transformation industry which are very familiar to most trying to make a difference by manifesting their dream. I can say with complete joy and passion this is the most outstanding program. It has all of the elements, support and wisdom. All of the pieces to get mission accomplished while at home on the computer, and not going into debt attending the top university and still trying to figure out what to do with that expensive education after graduation.
I am a long distance runner, in the midst of writing my upcoming book, which my publisher is waiting for me to complete. So I can't stop writing my book, but this program is giving me the tools to make my book and future talks more engaging because I will consider more than ever who I am trying to reach. I was focusing on my discoveries which were awesome, but now I seek to understand with each discovery, how I can reach the people who want to know what I have to offer. I am now more than ever a great Chatterboxer. And take in every nuance of feedback, so I become increasingly clear in my delivery.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
Always get feedback by being engaged with my content to see how I can master my delivery to get those who resonate, want more.
How did EPM help you become successful?
First I want to say with the greatest humility and gratitude, I have the gift of finding the best and this is what this entire experience is. I learned so much more about myself. The more I understand me, the more people I can understand how to reach.I strengthened my foundation and I even learned and got more clarity about my content and the results I wanted my audience to achieve. Now I can take my audience step by step up the Pyramid. I was starting at the top of the Pyramid with my knowledge and had difficulty seeing why many could not see or understand what I was presenting even though it took me a long time to decode the mysteries and see how they could provide more insight into the knowledge and use of the words we use everyday that shape our perception. I am already a winner, now I just want to reach more people, leave my children a legacy and return to Egypt and meet the family of the Wisdom Teacher that gave me the first clue to start this journey more than 25 years ago and present them with my book that their father inspired.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I grew leaps and bounds, and can now understand that my content is not for everyone. And that it really is for a specific audience. I stepped back and realized who developed the Egyptian language, the priest and the merchants, and then different levels of population used it. What is simple and fascinating to me confuses many people and I just could not understand why, now I can accept this for I see how smart I am, but was stupid in this inability to understand. Now I am at peace and will continue to deliver my content with more awareness while considering my audience.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
Focusing on and finding my target audience. And always be aware and seek feedback, and consider it in my planning.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
The shift in my mindset developed through this experience. I found the clarity and tools to continue working on a terrific program. And the confirmation from this program to have regularly scheduled classes and opportunities to sharpen my content and the delivery.
I listened to the 3 webinars of Marisa and the launching day. I had reservations because I never had done a program like this one and was afraid it was another scam to get my money.
But I could sense her sincerity and my soul said yes, although my ego mind was battling me because of the investment. OMG what a ride this program has been. I have never been so challenged not only by all the materials I had to listen to, digest and follow up with action!
This program challenged and forced me to do the work, to change my perceptions/belief and to dig deep into myself of what I was going to create and how. It challenged my inner being and mindset to put things on paper, pass it by my Coach and being challenged by my Coach to rewrite and rewrite and rewrite.
It sometimes aggravated the shit out of me as to why this was so challenging. And with my perfection tendency I pushed myself way too hard and got sick from the stress I put on myself. I never put so much time, effort and thoughts into a program!
It definitely felt like a marathon and was exhausting in many ways.
But I am so glad and grateful I did , because it has changed my understanding, my approach and implementation to reach my goals. I really feel I have a new toolbox and practical applications to reach my tribe!!
Although I didn't reach my goal of $2000,- , I know I gained so many new skills to make 2019 my best year ever to go out and Live My Message and reach My Tribe. I am very excited to move forward with all that I learned and mastered.
Marisa's program it was worth every dime and much, much, much more!! It really helps you to get Clarity, Amazing Coaching and Support I have never experienced before in any program!
If you are looking for a change in getting and reaching clients this is a Game Changer!!
Small Business Consultant at Lead Me To Profit
Thank you Marisa. Watching your video, I was able to express in words what my mission is. I went to so many marketing seminars and never ever found anybody or any program able to help me to define my mission. I have been helping my clients as part of my services but now I want to expand my services into this area. I have seen businesses closing because of productivity problems, and bad management habits, causing to close the business and losing everything.
As I said before, my Mission: To help my small business clients to have productive and profitable businesses by improving their businesses control and management skills
Your Graduation Story
(will have a good one after I have launched)
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
that I 'm powerful and can do this (in my earlier life I was a sprinter. Now I know I have great sustainable energy, important thought leadership, and am respecting my marathon style.)
How did EPM help you become successful?
Encouraged my professionalism and spunk
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
I'm able to sometimes be more extroverted in speaking to people
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I've simplifies and stopped going in too many directions
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
That I Can and I Will iterate it to Awesome
I was having the challenge of coming up with words that would capture the essence of who I serve and what the transformation people get from working with me so I could feel confident and authentically me in making compelling offers. See, each time I would go to launch a product on-line, I would come up with an excuse, being the perfectionist that I am, not to go through with it.
I joined Marisa's EPM Masterclass and I struggled mightily, to come up with a Mission that grounded my super power/secret sauce. I am so thankful to Marisa who so brilliantly helped me nail it down! Most surprising is the Deja vu feeling I had crafting the Bird's Eye View, when Coach Uwe instructed me to remove the teaching in it as marketing is about the "What" and not about the "How". He said this was my tendency because I wanted to help people so much. I had been asked very early in my career, why I insisted on "giving away mother's milk" and I never felt I really understood how I could change that until he explained it to me.
Now everything is coming together and becoming clearer i.e. how teaching while I was Marketing was diluting the communication of the value of my offers, all the wisdom and learnings from Marisa's EPM Masterclass, and how to design authentic compelling EPM product offers with confidence and heart.
What's really cool is that, as a side result of my Chatterbox Campaign, I was able to hit Mission Accomplished even though I have not actually launched my Experience Product on-line as yet. Thank you Marisa, Murray, Uwe, Don, Christine and rest of team!
Based on the information in your first video and the e-book on "Experience Product Phenomenon" I have begun scripting a revised initial marketing to do in person, on stage or in a webinar.
It had already become clear to me why people are not even enrolling in my coaching. (fear and intimacy) You have provided the solution of experiencing simple easy win, win, momentum so they will want to have more of the results from their experience. Your approach is going to make coaching entrepreneurs winners along with many more clients.
Congratulations for your insight.
Your Graduation Story
Because I work full-time, it was difficult for me to even keep up with EPM, but I managed to get a LOT done, just haven't hit mission accomplished yet. I'll continue to work at my own pace until I get there.
I can't tell you how awesome the EPM experience was! I have never in all my years of attempting to get something going online experienced the quality of training/coaching that EPM provides. I have purchased a lot of training but NOTHING compares to EPM! Marisa could have charged 2 - 3 times as much and it would have been worth every penny.
I now have a ""framework"", a ""blueprint"" to follow to create ANY experience info product. And things I would never have thought were important such as the mission statement (that totally guides the product creation) and of course, adding in the wins and everything that ""gamifies"" the product- it was all laid out for me. No boring static info product for me! I treasure every single lesson in the course and now need to go back and review a lot of it so I can stay fresh as I continue on my journey to mission accomplished. Thank you, thank you, Marisa, coach Jennifer, Murray, and all you incredibly talented, creative geniuses who put this program together. Today graduation.... tomorrow mission accomplished.... and then on to build the BIG business.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
That info products need to be interactive and FUN!!!
How did EPM help you become successful?
It taught me the RIGHT way to create an info product; not the old static PDF or boring video
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
My goal is to quit my "day job" and have more time to spend doing things I love. What I learned in EPM has given me the belief that YES, I can truly finally 'retire'. (I'm 72! - a very young 72, I might add. :))
What has been the biggest change in your business?
I don't quite have a business yet but the change would be that I can offer something of real value AND make money doing it.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
The creativity of it all! I love creating training/videos, etc. and THAT has me jazzed.
For a long while, I have been wanting to develop my own online course. I didn't exactly know what I wanted to do but I really loved the idea of developing a digital product and selling online. I've been interested in business for a number of years and finally came to the conclusion that online businesses were many times for efficient and scalable than most brick and mortar business.
So for a long time now I have dabbled with online courses but none of which helped me realize what is possible for me. I simply didn't know what online business I wanted to do.
The Experience Product Masterclass helped me realized not only what would be a good fit for me but it helped me realize the do's and don't of online marketing which can be confusing and expensive if you are just "testing the waters".
The Experience Product Masterclass made it very easy to pick and choose marketing formulas so that it fits your needs as it relates to your business. Before The Experience Product Masterclass, I was utterly clueless in what I should be focusing on for product development.
This masterclass helped me find a niche without any struggle stemming from their starter class "Niche down, Profits Up". After completing this masterclass I am more focused and more knowledgeable about what direction I need to take with any future products I decide to develop.
What is your biggest takeaway from EPM?
EPM has a dedicated team of coaches and an interesting mix of community members. The information in EPM was actually groundbreaking for me because I never knew that you didn't have to do so many marketing techniques that I thought were standard such has Facebook marketing.
The coaching calls really helped me get many things straight and the Facebook community has refined many of my points of confusion through their support. All in all, EPM felt like it was a one in a lifetime opportunity to get things right with the product in mind as well as any misunderstandings about marketing. The Experience Product Masterclass was truly an experience to be remembered.
How did EPM help you become successful?
EPM helped me to realize where many of my mistakes and misunderstanding of marketing and product development were.
EPM helped me to avoid expensive marketing that I would have paid for since EPM helped me understand many perspectives of marketing that I never knew about before.
How has EPM and your success impacted your life?
EPM has given me more insight into what it is that I should be doing and what I shouldn't be doing. EPM helped me narrow my original idea which was finding your purpose in life.
Initially, I was going to focus on helping people design their lives by helping them find their true north, their purpose in life and what it is they should be doing with themselves but it turns out that EPM has helped me realize my own purpose and so now I am considering changing my original product idea.
I have been struggling for a long time about what I should be doing with my life and if it wasn't for EPM I would of never of discovered the books that I have read while trying to develop my original product idea.
What has been the biggest change in your business?
At this point, I am considering changing my original product idea.
What are you most excited about moving forward with your Experience Product?
I am excited to see how the future of my product idea turns out after I change my original product.
My name is Vanessa Gallego, I was born in Venezuela but I have been living in Spain for 10 years now. I'm a journalist but I work as a marketing expert that does publicity. I'm like a superwoman. I have two works. One, I work in an agency that works in the pharmaceutical sector doing campaigns and so I have marketing boutique and I help startups and entrepreneurs to do their business in a better way.
First, I knew that I didn't want a job 9-5 or 9-7. And that was it. I want to do something that was really meaningful to me. And in some way I wanted to help people. So I decided to do marketing that is something that I love to do. I can help these entrepreneurs and these business startups to develop their business in a soulful and really meaningful way.
When I worked with the start ups and freelance and I saw in the agency that I work I knew that people need to learn more about marketing. And I thought in many ways to do it but none of them felt right or felt complete. I just didn't want to do an online course so people paid me money and just do if they actually did the course. So I was with this idea for a long time but just let it be there.
And then Marisa came into my life and the way that she came was really funny because I was just looking around on the internet and I saw a Facebook ad and I just click it and I enrolled in the webinar that she had and the webinar was that day actually and I saw webinar and I woke up my husband at 2:00 in the morning to tell him that I wanted to take money from the joint account to do EPM.
And I just knew this was the thing that I was waiting for. And that if I wanted to teach I wanted to teach that way. I didn't want to teach in another way. Yes. I was concerned too, yes, because I know that the money that EPM costs in the United States is very well for a course like that.
But in Spain is the same money that you can buy a master degree. So I was really concerned because my mind was like, do you want to do another master's degree or do you want to do this. And I decided to do this. I knew that that was the thing that I needed to learn in that moment.
I became Marisa's groupie and it was the first time that I just felt like a fan for someone, like I was really a fan. First of all, I decided to do it and to do it well. And my experience was phenomenal. What I learned is that EPM is taught in a way that you can surrender. Do what they tell you to do and just wait for the results. And for me it was really big step because I have to let go and I always try to control so things can be done in the way that I want them to be done. So I did it and it worked.
EPM is really a course to teach you how to do online courses but for me was more for me was a way to do business, because you learn so much about yourself. You learn so much about your own business and you learn so much about how to do things to really impact on other people that I felt that I needed to change the way that I did business.
One of my favorite parts of the Experience Product Masterclass was being in a community that helps each other when you feel down. Because sometimes you feel down and it's a great community to celebrate your wins. So I felt part of something and something bigger than me. And it was people that was working on the same thing that I wanted to work on. So it was a really really good. And actually I made a really good friends that I still talk.
My biggest breakthrough was that nothing has to be actually perfect. And it was a big one. The second one surrender. Understand that you can surrender and do the things that you have to do without thinking or over thinking. That was a breakthrough too.
The third one was that I could do it. That it was OK. It was OK to go online and do it just do what and see what happens. Maybe no one's going to buy from you. Maybe someone is going to buy from you. So don't wait anymore and just do it. And that was a breakthrough too because I think most of the people that has online businesses are a little bit afraid of success. And I was, like, I can do it.
And the fourth one or five I don't know how many, was the idea of marketing. So that was a really important for me because as I told you I was thinking about it. And but I haven't given words and she gave it words. Now you can use marketing to help others to achieve what they need to achieve. And it was really important for me.
Marisa is such very professional that I really enjoyed to work with her. I'm really honoured to be around her and her community. She just really really really committed to her every students that asked for help.
And well that was one thing for me was determined to actually invest in the program because I felt at that moment when I invested and during the course during the master class that actually when I need her help was her or her team or someone from the community to help you to get through what you need to get through.
The real impact in my business after EPM was not only that I'm making more money but that I'm helping my clients in a better way. And actually I dare to go online. I work in marketing online but I mean I never needed to go online to find clients. Right now I'm just enjoying it and it's working really really well.
Before EPM, I was making enough income to support my family. Basically that was it. And after EPM I'm changing the way that I do business and I almost doubled my income month to month. And I'm using that extra money to grow my business in a more professional way.
The incredible thing about having an online business is that I can have Spanish speaking clients all over the world. Actually I have two clients in the states and some in Latin America. And the other great thing is that I can work from whatever I want. Actually past Tuesday I was at the beach near my house just working there. And that was fabulous.
What I knew from 10 years ago is that I didn't want a life that began at nine o'clock and finished at 7 o'clock. And I also wanted to raise my kids. I was sure that you wouldn't want someone else to raise them for me. So an online business has allowed me to be with them when they need me.
To have the life that I actually want. I know that I can sound like an infomercial but that's true. I can be with them when they need me and I can work from everywhere if I need to travel. I can learn a lot. I can take my Wednesday afternoon to learn. That's what I do and I know if I had a normal office job I couldn't do that. So I don't know another way to leave and I would never come back to my life. That means to be in one place all the time.
Oh, I feel like I'm a super woman every day of my life. Every day of my life in practically every moment. I love to be a woman to be a mom and I really really enjoy that part of me and I think we all women that helped to raise kids are superwoman in some way or another.
My kids just love the way they work and they feel like they want to work like me when they grow up. I don't see them in an office. And my husband is very supportive because actually he let me do what I want. So, that's how it is.
Impact on my clients? They love me. They actually love me and our relationship is more, it's a business relationship that becomes a friendship because I help them to be more of who they are, helping their business to grow. Some way we finally have a deeper relationship that will have a client to another person. If they were my clients. So I think the impact it's not just the impact I made to their business but how they they made my life because they fulfilled my life in the same way that I help them to grow.
If you are thinking about doing it and you feel it's right just do it. Don't overthink it, just to it.
