Client Before & Afters
Client Before & After: Michelle Ward, the When I Grow Up Coach
You guys. I have been so honored to work with the unparalleled Michelle Ward (The When I Grow Up Coach) for the last couple of years, as her “right-hand lady,” as she calls it! As a business coach who helps creative, multi-passionate women start their dream...
WHO AM I?
I’m Kate Hutcheson, a project manager and planning consultant for creative women entrepreneurs.
I have over 10 years’ experience helping both DIY solopreneurs and multi-6-figure earners get more clients, wrangle complex projects, and produce stellar content. I excel in listening to the big ideas, then creating the step-by-step plans that bring your ideas to life.

“Kate saves my sanity as I run my business.”
Kate is a super-multi-talented and versatile VA. There’s nothing she can’t do, and if you know you’re going to have different assistance needs, she’s the person to hire. Kate set up the entire flow and design for my online course. The course documents are beautiful and the client flow is easy and intuitive. What’s special about Kate is that she can fully organize the tech side of your business AND create aesthetically pleasing graphics and PDFs. And she’s a dream to work with.

“I trust and rely on her as my right-hand lady.”
Kate is like an angel from the heavens. She’s just *so good* at what she does and cares *so much* about the quality of her work – and the results I see in my business! – that I’m going to make her work with me forever. She’s always looking to lighten my load, making my launches, processes and systems both easier and more impactful than anything I can do on my own. I really trust and rely on her as my right-hand lady.

“With her support i market more consistently and spend more time focusing on clients.”
I was at a point in my business where if it wasn’t urgent, it wasn’t happening. Tasks would roll-over on my to-do list month after month until I ended up with a huge backlog of things to catch up on. Enter Kate. With her support I market more consistently, spend more time focusing on clients, and have help when special projects come up. I love knowing that when a new thing comes up I can file it under “Kate can handle that.”

“I could not have made it happen without her.”
Kate helps me clarify my goals, brings new ideas and expertise to my project, and assists me in settings deadlines and tasks in a way that made a project that felt like a pipe dream into a reality. It is not an exaggeration to say that I could not have made it happen without her.

“She helped me not just plan…but helped me feel even more excited about my project.”
I appreciated how enthusiastic Kate was about my project. She helped me not just plan my tasks and set deadlines, but helped me feel even more excited about my project. I would enthusiastically recommend this service to other creative entrepreneurs.

“Kate is top notch in both the image i want to create for my shop and in providing the service that i expect to be delivered.”
Kate is top notch in both the image I want to create for my shop and in providing the service that I expect to be delivered. She looks for ways to improve my business, makes suggestions and doesn’t wait for me to give her directives as she takes the initiative herself. I wholeheartedly wish she could work for me full time!

“I’m on a roll and super focused thanks to Kate.”
Thanks to a brilliant couple of hours with Kate Hutcheson, I have a whole re-organized set of packages that I’m REALLY excited about. I’m on a roll and super focused thanks to Kate. Feels so great to be going into November with a clear head and an organized business!

“I’m charging more, giving myself more time, and feeling much more confident and relaxed!”
Working with Kate helped me figure out that I was basically short-changing myself by about 3-6 months on my client contracts. Now I’m charging more, giving myself more time, and feeling much more confident and relaxed!

“I feel like I have a clearer path.”
I feel like I have a clearer path. Kate is a thought partner who helps you realistically lay out the groundwork that’ll help you be successful and complete your launch with a clear direction!

“Because of our planning session, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.”
Before my session with Kate, I had these looming things that I needed to do for my business and I was feeling the weight and guilt of my inability to get them done. Kate was able to take these giant projects, define them clearly and break them down into steps so that I knew exactly which step to take next. Because of our planning session, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.
