Testimonial-style transcript excerpt from a client (Kerry Barrett) describing how business coaching with Katie McManus transformed her business and personal life: doubled revenue, increased program prices while retaining clients, generated rapid client acquisition (first client within ~3 weeks), shifted major lead source to inbound LinkedIn, improved work–life balance (more family time, vacations, better sleep), and resolved prior severe stress and panic attacks.

The smartest thing that I have done in my business. I don't have a hobby anymore. I have a business that generates income. My family is very proud. Mom is able to add to the family pot. Katie's helped me double my revenue and double the cost of my programs and still get as many clients. I took my kids on a three week trip to Africa. We did week and a half safari through Kenya and Tanzania. And when I tell you the trip was life changing, it was life changing. I like that. I have set an example for my children about perseverance and resilience. I'm spending more time with my kids, I'm spending more time with my husband. I'm spending more time on vacation, you know, not feeling compelled to have meetings, not feeling compelled to work. You know, I can go to their swim meets and I can hang out with them sometimes even during the middle of a workday. Katie's a 10, Katie's a 12. Katie helped me generate clients. I signed a client, one of my first clients, about three weeks after starting working with her. That one client was enough to offset the cost of working with her one on one. I am now turning down clients who don't fit. My second largest source of clients is LinkedIn and those clients are all inbound. I'm not doing DMs, I'm not doing outbound. Had I not started working working with her, I can almost guarantee I would have given up. My situation before working with Katie was dire. No idea what I was doing. I mean, zero negative. I was working 12 to 14 hour days feeling like I made no progress. They used to say to me things like, mom, you're always working. The guilt that I would feel was crushing. I was not sleeping, actually having panic attacks like three times in the hospital. And I haven't experienced that in 18 months now. And I'm. And I'm sleeping through the night. Katie, I adore you. You have helped me turn my business around.
