Why Doing It All Yourself Is Costing You More Than You Think

Many trainers start off trying to build their own programs. It feels natural—you’re an expert, so why not teach your way?
But what begins as a creative venture quickly turns into a juggling act. Between writing theory modules, filming video lessons, hiring designers, formatting documents, updating forms, and trying to meet state requirements, the dream can turn into a second full-time job.
And worse? The more you try to handle alone, the more likely things start slipping through the cracks.
Creating a 120-hour vocational-level course isn’t a weekend project—it takes hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars. From writing textbooks and exams to designing lesson plans, filming videos, formatting for print, building an LMS, and ensuring compliance, most educators spend $20,000–$50,000+ before even enrolling their first student. MPE® gives you all of that—already done, field-tested, and customizable—so you can start training without the overwhelm.
Here’s what it really costs to do it solo:
- 300-500 hours of unpaid content creation, research, test and lessons development
- $20,000–$50,000 in design, editing, publishing, and legal review
- Weeks lost to researching guidelines and formatting materials
- Energy drained from constantly updating outdated systems
- Burnout from being everyone to everyone—without real support
And most importantly, students can feel it when your program is patched together. You might deliver excellent demos, but without a structured foundation, students often leave confused, unsure, or overly reliant on you for every answer.
Problem: “I Don’t Have Time to Build a Course—But I Also Can’t Afford to Do Nothing.”
Solution: MPE® does the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to.
You get a complete fundamentals curriculum that’s already been:
- Legally reviewed
- Professionally published
- Aligned with state and certification guidelines
- Updated regularly to stay relevant
- Built with student comprehension (and trainer efficiency) in mind
All you need to do is deliver it in your voice.
You remain the expert, the mentor, the artist. We just help you structure the educational system around what you already do best—teaching.
Problem: “But I Want My Program to Feel Like Me—Not Like a Clone.”
Solution: MPE® is built to highlight your unique approach.
Unlike other programs that force you to teach one method or brand, we keep our curriculum fact-based, not technique-biased. That means:
- You decide which pigments, needles, trade secrets and styles you teach
- Your artistry remains front and center
- Your students gain core knowledge to support any method they pursue
- You gain confidence knowing your foundation is airtight
Think of MPE® as your educational backbone. It gives you structure and confidence—while you bring the soul, style, and delivery.
