If you had this one thing, EVERYTHING would change!

May 15, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

More revenue, more time, more support, better marketing plan, better follow up, etc. All of these things are important to your business (and you probably need all of them!), but not one of them will make as big of difference as the thing that I’m thinking of. The biggest thing that is holding you back from having a much more successful business and even one earning 6+ figure revenues is your own level of confidence. So many women entrepreneurs struggle with this and most don’t even realize that this is the biggest reason that they are failing to reach their business goals. The majority of them WANT to make a 6+-figure income, but they look at the mechanics of their businesses. … [Read more...]

Many times entrepreneurs get stuck in their businesses and can’t figure out what’s going wrong when the money stream dries up, clients drop off, and referrals disappear. This can be so confusing, frustrating, and emotionally draining. It might be surprising to you to find out that, regardless of what type of financial situation you’re in, many entrepreneurs struggle because of lack of love in their life….love and support for or by a significant other, love and confidence in yourself or love for life or your business in general. Lack of love in any capacity can surely hold you back from making huge monetary gains in your business whether you realize it or not. And this can … [Read more...]

Who is determining your wealth?

May 8, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Do you really know what you’re making per hour after all is said and done? I’ve worked with hundreds of women entrepreneurs who THINK they really know how much money they make. When we really break it down to all the time they’re spending before, during and after the sale, many times they’re shocked to see what that price tag really is. Sometimes it’s even less than working in a fast food restaurant! So I ask you: How much money do you ACTUALLY make per hour? Is it above minimum wage? Have you ever taken the time to ask yourself WHY you have you priced yourself (or your products and services) the way you have? When was the last time you looked at your … [Read more...]

What you think about Money is Affecting Your Love Life AND Your Business!

May 4, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

As I reflect on my own life, going through a breakup a few years ago in my personal life and recent “breakups” in my business, I'm compelled to write about Love and Money, the topic I hosting a weekend retreat in June 2012. So let me ask you: what the heck does our mindset around money have to do with our love life and then in turn our businesses?? Well let me tell you...everything! Reflecting back so quickly after this has all happened is a feat in itself I must say, thank goodness for me doing my own continuous work on myself, my love for myself, my money issues and my business development.
