Frustrated Sad counselor

Do you feel like you're trying to grow your business all alone? 

  • Have you ever felt stuck with no one to turn to that could help you get your practice to the next level? 
  • Are you tired of losing time to the wrong strategies, systems, and structure, because you don't have anyone with the know-how to show you the right ones?
  • Have you exhausted all of the FREE resources you can find but not ready to pay a lot of money for a bootcamp or retreat that may not help?

It’s enough to make you want to scream...or cry… or just crack open the wine bottle!

Hi, I'm Kate Walker Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, founder of achievebalance.org and Kate Walker Training LLC.

And, if you think you're struggling, you should have seen my early days!!

You see, I started my clinical practice, All About the Family, 19 years ago. I was still teaching orchestra so it was just a hobby at first...but, when I started to see some results, it turned into a side-hustle that I knew had the potential to replace my day job and bring in a full-time income. 

Then I had my third child.

And my husband got deployed to Iraq.

Then I got breast cancer.

And well LIFE....you know?

I was exhausted, I couldn't focus, I had tons of unfinished 'good ideas,' and I had no idea where to start and no idea where I should focus my time and energy to increase my client load or income.

Long of the short?

I WORKED. A LOT.

Creating blog posts, You Tube videos, instagram stories, courses, lead magnets, joining networks like Business Networking International, local Chambers of Commerce, hiring personal business coaches who had no idea what I really did for a living --you name it! 

I loved counseling and connecting with my clients, but doing all of the marketing without any clear direction left me exhausted and overwhelmed.

AND I made mistakes.

Kate Walker Training 5 Star Review

Don’t Let Avoidable Mistakes Cost You YEARS of Success!

I still cringe over the mistakes I made in those early days! I was desperately chasing:

  • "Shiny objects" (anybody still have a "Got Stress? Get Balanced!" t-shirt? Oh my gosh those things cost me so much $$$!)
  • Page views (I was paying someone $400 a month and she almost got me flagged by Google!)
  • Followers and likes (like I wasn't already sucked into social media!)

When I should have been focused on the marketing efforts that were bringing me clients!  

It was all because I had nowhere to turn to...

  • Get the feedback I needed
  • Hold me accountable
  • Stay focused on the strategies that actually worked  for my industry

Step it UP - Your Edge for Growing Your Dream Practice, NOW

I created the Step it UP Membership, so YOU never have to struggle or waste precious time, like I did.

 

You'll Have the Resources, CEs, and Live Training so you:

  • Stop playing phone/email tag with potential clients
  • Never have to scramble for CEs
  • Develop an actual marketing strategy that helps potential clients become ACTUAL clients or RAVING FANS
  • Handle money, pay your taxes, and pay yourself
  • Stay HIPAA and HB 300 compliant

The Step it UP Group Membership is the foundation you need to grow the ethical, profitable, and ENJOYABLE counseling practice of your dreams. You’ll get the support, training and encouragement you need to take you from where you are now, to where YOU want your practice to be. 

No need to wait for results - if you have the drive and commitment, you’ll start seeing the results immediately. If you don't, you can leave any time.

No contracts, no commitments.

That’s my personal promise! 

Best of all?

  • Step it UP is Texas-based so everything is based on Texas laws so you won't waste time you don’t have on strategies that may only work in other states or other industries.
  • Step it UP has no contracts and you can cancel any time if you don't use it so you won't spend hundreds of dollars on courses you don't use.
  • Step it UP members have access to live virtual training with me every week with time for Q and A so you don't have to cross your fingers and hope that someone in a free Facebook group will respond to your questions (and have the experience to get the answers right!).
  • Step it UP courses and resources are updated annually and NOTHING is more than 12 months old. So you never get outdated, “stale” information AND any course that counts for continuing education meets the 50% requirement in Texas.
