Make This the Year You Get Really Focused in Your Small Business – Because… Focus = Results

January 16, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

-->> Without a clear focus on what you're selling, how you're marketing and to whom you're marketing how do you expect to really become more successful? This is one of the most difficult things for small business owners that I see which holds them back. There is so much you need to do these days in your business just to even keep it afloat much less make a ton of money. Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed in this new year? If your goal isn't to make a ton of money that's ok but either way, you need to market more and be very focused in what you're offering online and in person or people will find it hard to understand why or how you can help them or why they should buy your stuff. … [Read more...]

Ready to Find Out What You REALLY Need to do to Attract Clients and Make Money Now?

January 10, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

The top questions I hear from entrepreneurs are “How do I find clients” and “How can I make more money?” So how do you do it? How do you continuously attract and find new clients, build the business that excites you and make more money … all at the same time? The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs are making right now, over and over again, are randomly investing in products and programs or people who can’t help them really with what they need to do next. They need their ‘next steps’ yet they’re being enticed with ‘bright shiny objects’ that distract them from reaching their big goals. I'm hosting a FREE teleclass on Thursday, January 10th at 1:0oPM PST / 4:00PM … [Read more...]

Jumpstart Your Business NOW – Focusing and Planning Tip #5

January 5, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

-->> Crunch Your Numbers So do you really know how many people or prospects you need to talk with or have a sales conversation with every month in order to meet the number of sales and revenue that you want to bring in? Do you know your closing ratio? Your expenses? Your profit margin? It's my experience that most small business owners don't typically know these things. If you do, great. However most don't plan ahead and crunch their numbers which is something that's crucial in my mind if you want to reach a certain amount of sales or revenues every month. When I coach with clients I first like to find out your 'need' number. The amount of money you really NEED … [Read more...]

-->> Calendarize Your Life One thing I often have to do with some of my mastermind or VIP coaching clients is to help them get more focused with their time. Managing time is one of the big obstacles that entrepreneurs have to face on a weekly basis. And especially if you're working with me, I outline all sorts of things you'll need to add to your weekly to dos so it can be a little overwhelming for some people who aren't used to doing so much or aren't really good at structuring their time. When I work with clients however I always give them options for outsourcing almost everything we talk about adding so it doesn't have to be so overwhelming. It is sometimes nonetheless as not … [Read more...]

-->> Co-Promote with Other Complimentary Business Professionals There are probably thousands of people you could connect with on Facebook alone much less other sites, in-person networking events, people who are already in your database and more if you really think about it. But more than likely you're not taking the time to connect, right? Maybe you don't see how it could bring you business or maybe you aren't sure what to ask them or say to people to get them interested in working with you on some level but doesn't it make sense to try?
