Live Your Message with Marisa MurgatroydReviews of liveyourmessage.com

Not worth the money. There was a few good lessons but one would have gotten more by simply going to a city college entrepreneur night class or a entrepreneur certificate class online. They don't really help you find your niche they just basically tell you to keep changing it. Have to agree with everyone else, she is definitely about the self hype aspect. In the Facebook I asked if other people regretted getting the class and there was actually quite a few people that did. The return on investment would have been better if I had just bought a funnel program. I think it was my fault that I thought you would be able to build a online class people just take and learn from. But actually it's more one-on-one coaching or talking to people. The class doesn't show you how to scale your business or idea. The majority of the time they reject your idea and tell you to go do it again until its completely watered down and cheesey. It's more of a marketing class than anything else. The other problem is they want you to change to a topic or aspect of what you have expertise in to something you have no experience in. It more or less teaches you how to scam people out of money based on cheesy gimmicks. Don't get me wrong they presented ideas in a different way that was simi interesting but nothing you wouldn't learn in a free Ted Talk. I definitely regret wasting my money on this. I could have put a down payment on a car or got a $15,000 business loan and that would have been a better return on investment. The program should really be called click and bait to success. I'll save you over $2,000 and tell you the live you're message secret that you pay for: Pitch 1,000 people to get 3 for One on One coaching. Thats it they tell you you cannot create a large program for the masses and that you have to do live one on one coaching and personal selling of your product. I started the class 9/24/2022-01/2023.

This program advertises its for anyone, and in my experience it’s for very specific niches - which would already be designed and operating prior to enrolling in EPM. Inside the course are mass group calls (1000+ people), and when people would speak or ask questions, it was clear and visible which businesses could use the material - because they were already launched in the world, versus those who were struggling to formulate their idea. The program markets as helping someone formulate their idea but… if it’s not done within the first week, things keep moving on and you’re left behind. It’s expected to put your product verbiage to align with their templates. Which on the surface sounds nice, and when I used them to apply to my business, I was told that they wouldn’t really apply and to pick something else. Which… I still didn’t understand. (I teach Pilates, it’s not complicated). The biggest message I got was that you have to market your program with a promise in x amount of time. While this will absolutely work for some businesses, it just won’t for others. (Ie I can’t guarantee someone’s weight loss or energy boost in 30 days, everyone is different). In general the narratives they advise to implement are highly sales-y. I didn’t feel comfortable using it because it presented as forceful and in-authentic. There were some odd choices… there was a lot of talk of the genius-ness of Marisa and how exceptional she is. I’m sure she’s wonderful and very talented. This constant narrative was over the top, like why do I need to be told this over and over? One of the bonuses was access to another webinar; which you later learn that if you want to attend you have to pay 100$ to get a box on paper goods. There are big cheesy parts, like matching your verbiage to say “Your mission, should you accept it…” and doing presentations in pilot costumes and win pilot wing trinkets for program “take off”. But for some people that’s their thing… While these are non-important things, maybe this shows how much information I learned and walked away with. There was heaping piles of material and various document downloads that didn’t add to clarity, but instead confusion. I think she pays for companies and influencers to give positive reviews because completely unrelated niches are reviewing the program and they all say the same thing. Was it worth the money? No, I would have rather put it toward a certificate in Branding or Marketing at Cornell or some other educational institution, rather than some persons high ticket offer.

I just attended one of her webinars. It was so unbelievably scammy and click baity -feeling, I had to write a quick review! Don't fall for this. This is NOT real. Anytime someone tries to pull a fast one, they have fast slides and fast talk and their numbers won't add up. All you need to do is just do a bit of research.

The 1-star reviews resonate with me. The course was a marketing scam. The materials were full of beautiful language but lacked structure. Learning was hard because I was inundated with superfluous information and multiple nice-sounding names for simple concepts. In the end I could not put to use 98% of what I have learned. I was misinformed as to what is the number of hours I will have to invest. It was not possible to keep up with the pace of the course. The numbers Marisa quotes for success of the students do not add up. But she has a powerful marketing machinery supporting her. I know many from my cohort who have given up. Do not take this course!

LiveYourMessage.com, founded by Marisa Mergatroyd, skillfully defrauds customers worldwide with its annual Experience Product Masterclass program (EPM). Worse yet, it has the balls to boast about it!

This course is by far THE worst course I’ve ever taken. Overwhelming, redundant, lacking concision, although Marisa keeps saying how important it is to be concise, and yet in her videos and coaching calls, she goes on and on and on saying the same things over and over again. A big part of what she talks about is how amazing and smart she is and how she has so many famous, and financially successful friends. That being said, there were a few interesting learning points, but it could have been summarised in a few hours course. But for $2500, I expected less fluff, more powerful content, and above all results. I suspect her to try to drown her students (customers) under the amount of redundant content, so that they lose their ability to think critically and just join into the personality cult that she had going on during the whole program. There were so many of us in the program that comments on the FB group were drowned and thus, impossible to create and benefit from a supportive environment. I never felt lonelier than during this course. The worst, however, is that despite this overwhelm and signs of burnout, I followed their process to the T, applied everything I learned, and went all in. During the final section of the course, we’re supposed to chat with potential prospect and sell them our experience product. Well, I talked to more than 100 people in 2 weeks, and besides loosing my health and mental health (I couldn't get up in the morning, and I was crying everyday by forcing myself to apply their technique, I could feel I was losing my life force, and was having very dark thoughts) over the process, didn’t manage to enroll ANYONE. Even my assigned coach told me to stop and that this method doesn’t work for everyone. I was pushed to ignore my intuition and to adopt a message that wasn’t mine, but Marissa. Instead of being given the tools to find what worked for me, I was just treated like a little soldier, to use Marisa’s words, Marisa’s strategy, Marisa’s templates, etc… so at the end, we were all like little robots, exhausting ourselves, on a hamster wheel, being told that it’s the only technique that works, and that we should try harder. Of course, it doesn’t make sense because as a human species, we’re incredibly varied and different, and resonate to different strategies and wording. Their process didn’t work at all for me, and so I applied for the Make Your Money back guarantee. It was refused! They told me with a poker face that I didn’t try hard enough. A gaslighting and patronising attitude. What a joke! My experience was not "Live Your Message" but "Die Your Message". And also "Live Marisa's Message".

EPM was a con and fraudulant advertising. Marisa had a lot of us on the line to sign us up at the last day of sign up We all were beginners with no experience and the money was too much for us to lose if we failed. Maris told us we could do this with no experience or following etc and not to worry at all about the money as there is a safety net! the safety net is if we do not earn it back she will give it back if we finish the course and then she said so just sign up, no risk at all. We all did. I did based on her money back guarantee as i did not know if i could succeed with no experience or following or social media. The course began and in the first week i knew it was impossible to keep up with the amount of new content and short deadlines. it became clear shortly that the money back guarantee was almost impossible but i could not lose it so i got sick trying to keep up and i managed to make it and get it all done and in on time but they refused my claim anyway, saying i did not submit it all and i did, and i have it all to prove it. i was sick for a while recovering from the stress of keeping up and tired of their rhetoric that it was me resisting change that was the matter and me not wanting to grow. the dopamine button was garbage and a con too. i was miserable during the entire thing. other students said it was crushing and brutal and words like that. i am guessing there were a lot of people who lost their money and marisa made a lot of money on failed students, if half failed that is a million and half dollars. a lot of motivation to overload new students. they get to keep the money and not pay coaches to coach them,,,what a scam i rate it No STAR but that is not offered

I was part of the 2016 first cohort of Experience Product Masterclass. Marisa produces possibly the sleekest and best sales pages in the world. Read VERY carefully because the marketing does not come close to the delivery, or is worded very carefully to make you expect more than what will be delivered. It's worded in such a way that you'll be getting a substantial amount of 1-on-1 time with a coach, which is not true in reality (2 15-minute private calls over 8 weeks were insufficient to describe issues and goals in depth). If you experience problems with completing the avalanche of assignments on time, YOU are blamed for not being able to complete all of the work on time. The biggest issue I had was the crux of the program, which is to create and sell a product before it is completed. No can do--I discovered that I just couldn't do it because if I were a paying customer, I would expect some level of expertise and experience, thought, and care to have gone into a product or service, no matter how new it was. The customer service team was another thing to experience. One of the coaches at the time, Christine, was super sweet while the program went on. But watch out if you have problems or try to get a refund. She suddenly becomes the opposite of warm and helpful. Marisa was very "blunt" with unhappy students at the end of the program too. The attitude was, "Gee, the program is over after 8 weeks--I'm outta here and on to my next money-making course!" I got the impression that this program was mainly a way to upsell unsuspecting customers into higher-ticket items ($10K package, or $60/month subscription to Heroic platform--you can get other high quality platforms for a fraction of the price). If anything, this program taught me how to NOT be a coach.
