Your GRADUATION Story
"I was having trouble figuring out how to create a product that I could sell to my audience. I wasn’t sure how to design the product. What became really clear from the coaching from Marisa and Uwe is that we have to be really specific when we niche down. I did that and that helped me get laser focus, but what became a reality for me is that with an online audience of 10,000+ followers, the niche I chose is probably not aligned with my current audience. I will continue to market my MVP but I will have to find other places to market to. I learned several things from the EPM experience:
I am going to need learn how to follow more and ask deeper questions to get to the heart of the problems and to be able to move people to do what they really want to do within themselves. I learned so much about what to say and how to approach people and although I have not gotten any responses from over 111 comments I sent out to start conversations from the memes that followers reacted to, I am beginning to understand why. I learned a powerful lesson listening to Bill Baren’s I’m powerful interview. He talked about what you want is a situation where the customer and the coach begin working together in the same direction to accomplish the customers future goals or end state. When that happens then it is not really selling it is adding value towards the customer’s end state and when that happens it removes the friction.
I learned to keep going and never quit.
I also learned to send more communication the you think because people are busy and they may not see or remember everything you send so never feel that people are getting tired of you repeating yourself.
I also believe the sincerity and the attitude of the staff is superb. You probably had the experience I have felt is that if I could have it to start all over again I would not have waste so much money on all those other courses that did not work and then be so much further ahead.

To actually follow that whole product design process to the end. I made me understand more about not being afraid to not only talk to people but be willing to go deeper with questions and helping people see that future if they don't change. Follow-up, Follow up, Follow up a lot more (I honestly believe that is where I am falling short. I will reach the product goals, it is just a matter of time and as Bill Baren called it, "Grit" to stay and the race and not back down despite the obstacles.
