This is a short testimonial-style interview from the YouTube video "Ekaterina - Real Results in the I Heart Money Certification" (Emily Williams). Kat (an artist and coach who runs Create magazine) explains why she joined the I Heart Money Certification to better support artists around money issues, and reports early commercial results: she signed seven clients at about $497 each and earned roughly $4,000 in her first launch (including referrals and bonuses). She also notes personal business stability after recent setbacks and that the program paid for itself quickly.

Do you want to jump on and just talk a little bit more about this?
Yes. Hello, everyone. It's so good to be here. Thank you for having me. Megan, Emily. And it's been an amazing experience getting the certification. It's. I can't believe it's only been a few weeks. I actually, right before this call, just had my first call with my students, the first cohort of I Heart Money. And I kind of put my own spin on it, the art of Money. Because my community is mostly art artists and creative entrepreneurs. So just a little bit about me. I'm an artist. I became a coach around six years ago, and I also have a small business called Create magazine where we publish art, we put together exhibitions, and we work with galleries and curators to basically bring more awareness to our artist community. And I was really drawn to Emily's certification, mostly because money is such a topic for artists, as you may know. You probably heard starving artists. I mean, literally, it's in every, like, cell of our being. We're born into this idea that we have to suffer for our art, and it's just not true, especially living in the US like, so I was really drawn to the certification to have a tool to support my clients. I already had another certification from yes Supply, which I also love. But I really wanted something really specific because this comes up on every coaching call, every membership call, every podcast, every dm. Money is a topic that was just like. I mean, like Emily said, everything. Money touches everything. So some of my results. In the past few weeks, I've gotten my first seven clients around 497. And this was all done with a method that Megan and Emily taught inside the program, and that was more of a direct soft sales approach, which I've never tried before. I had a lot of resistance to this, so it worked. All my clients are amazing. And speaking of referrals, we. One of my new clients, who I've never worked with before, referred another client to join. So I gave her a bonus one on one quick session as a thank you. So it was around $4,000 in the first ever launch. And I know it's going to be bigger after this. Yeah. So basically paid for itself even before this, because I actually got two one on one client, three one on one clients during our certification using this. So the program will pay for itself and like, literally seconds. But you have the tools. And I've been coaching myself through some of the things that we go through inside this certification and re watching I Heart Money for my own mindset as well. As I grow. But I will say, and no one paid me to say this, but swear to God, the past two months were the first two months since, like, I had a huge business setback that I actually had at the beginning of the month. Like, enough for all my business bills and personal bills at the beginning of the month. So, like, this is what I've been praying for, to start the month feeling stable and supported. So I'm super grateful. And yeah, let me know if you have any questions. Hopefully that gives you a little taste.
That makes me want to cry. That's so beautiful, Kat. Thank you for sharing that.
