Are You Ready to Unlock Your Financial Power in 2020?

What do I mean by that?

In our recent Financial Survey, we asked our Smart Women Community "What is your biggest issue with money?" and this is what they told us:

#1 - Making enough

#2 - Keeping and growing it

#3 - How to get rid of the negative beliefs about it

Can you relate to this? If so, then you are in the right place!

Our Goal

To Give You A Step-By-Step Process That You Can Use To Create A Life You Truly Love.

This is not a course about how to budget or save -- although those things are very important. My dream is to help you really understand your true gifts, dreams and talents so you can create a life you love. I also what to help you understand what is holding you back from getting what you want in life whether that is more money, a better job, vibrant health or happiness. This six-step process can be used again and again because it takes you from your dream all the way to mastery.


What To Expect in Class

Everyone does better with a coach or a mentor, and that's how I want you to think of me as I take you through this course. This is the same process I have used for years with my private coaching clients and I am so excited to be sharing it with all women of the world.

Each module begins with a video where I will share what you will be learning, and then you will listen to an audio lesson where I will take you through the worksheet, often sharing a personal story or experience.

You will be part of our Smart Women Community where you will receive:

  • Katana's newest ebook The Five Biggest Money Mistakes Women Make and How to Fix Them.
  • Smart Women, Smart Choices ezine on the first Tuesday of each month with articles and tips
  • Interesting interviews on Smart Women Talk Radio with over a million subscribers
  • Invitations to Inspirational Events

I'll Be Right There With You

I'm so thrilled you have found this course and that you are here. Statistics say that only 20% who begin the course will finish it. It's called the 80/20 rule. I want you to discover your brilliance, to share your gifts, to be really well paid for your work and to live a truly prosperous life. I can't wait for you to get started as I walk you through each step. And when you are finished, I'll be asking you to share your experience with me!

You may be asking WHAT IS THE CATCH? You need to show up and do the work. Otherwise nothing may change.

I look forward to taking this journey with you. I'll see you in the introduction!


HERE'S WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT OUR COURSES:

The whole program has strengthened the will in me. With the tools and exercises, plus the rituals and meditations, I am so much more positive and hopeful, and have already started to see momentum from the changes.”

~ Burcu Yalman, Istanbul, Turkey

“Katana is wise, compassionate, and knowledgeable. My work with her program was an important first step in changing my relationship with money. I now have a better understanding about: (1) the places and behaviors that keep me financially stuck and (2) a realistic path to creating greater prosperity and peace of mind.”

~ Ronda Pretzlaff Diegel, Ph.D. LP, Yoga Instructor, Retreat Leader

“Katana Abbott is one of the GREAT ones. Not only because of what she knows, but because of how she cares. It is a rare combination to find a business executive with extensive knowledge supported by a winning track record, but even more unusual to know, this is a person you can easily work with and trust to have your best interest at heart. Attitude and authenticity is not something you can learn in graduate school, you either have it, or you don’t. Katana Abbott is a one-of-a-kind combination of brains, beauty and brilliance. Highest recommendation.”

~ Deb Scott, Life Coach, Award-Winning Author Radio Host

“Katana has the ability to take your dream to reality! She takes you through a process that allows you to do your greatest life work while creating true prosperity. Having a steep financial background coupled with a vision to help others “see” what gifts they have, Katana will change your life and unlock the secrets of successful high earners.”

~ Jill Jordan , Personal Fashion Consultant
