Email marketing tips and tricks

May 1, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Do you have spring fever yet? I've been starting to get it....looking out into the nice sunny day from my office window, feeling the cool breezes in the early morning come through the windows and doors....it's nice working from home but I'm going to have to schedule in some *enjoy* time in the am I think a few times a week. What are you looking forward to this spring/summer? I'm looking forward to some quality family stuff - I'm going to be meeting my boyfriend's sister and her husband when I'm up in Portland mid-May. Then next weekend we get to do a Six Flags day out with Riley (I hope my new hip hangs in there all day for that!). And in June we're spending some time in Tahoe … [Read more...]

To be vulnerable, or NOT to be vulnerable? THAT is the question…

April 25, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Guest Author: Anastasia Netri Many entrepreneurs wonder how much to share with their clients, and for good reason. If you’ve ever wondered how much of yourself to share, and how it affects your credibility, then this article will surely shed some light on this topic for you. When it comes to being authentic in your marketing and communication with your clients, you don’t have to share everything. Sometimes, it’s not in service of them to do so. It doesn’t mean you’re holding back if you don’t want to be public with everything. Private lives are okay! However, being a little edgy with your sharing can really help your clients to relate to you, to know that you … [Read more...]

Maximizing Your Money in Your Small Business

April 19, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

As a small business owner, what I've seen is that you typically could use more direct advice, feedback and training, specifically for YOUR business in order to know what to do and how to do it. You don't need huge group programs where you get lost in the shuffle. Regardless if they are less expensive, trust me, it's not the best route to go if you need to make money pretty quickly and you need to know where to focus to do that (i.e. marketing activities, website, etc.). Today I'm talking about How to Maximize Your Money When Growing Your Business in my New Video! I know you've got less money than ever to invest back in your business so you want to be very careful how you … [Read more...]

Building your list to build your business

April 18, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

This week's video ezine is about building your list to build your business. As a small business owner for almost 11 years now, I've realized that nothing matters in my business besides building a solid list of followers, subscribers, clients and fans that love, trust and connect with me.

That's why on my NEW VIDEO I'm talking about the key ways to build a responsive list for ANY business in ANY industry - what's REALLY working.... Seriously go take a watch and see what you think for yourself! Oh and don't … [Read more...]

I’m pulling the curtain back – you want to read this

April 17, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I’m really tired of the hype that’s out there. I get frustrated that so many amazing entrepreneurs feel like they’re not measuring up to everyone else, playing the comparison game, and feeling bad about themselves. I want to set the record straight. I had told you a few days ago about an event like no other, that’s going to blow the curtain back and reveal what NO ONE else is showing you, so that you can stop comparing, and know what the “right track” to success REALLY looks like. We are re-defining success – in a way that you can actually relate to, and feel GOOD about. Anastasia Netri and Lisa Cherney have invited me to get really vulnerable and share some … [Read more...]

Five Myths and Realities about Goal Setting

April 13, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

by Hazel Palache To some people goal setting may seem like too much work and not necessary. However, setting specific goals is a powerful and effective tool to help you to achieve what you want out of life no matter what type of person you are or what your profession is. However, there are some common myths and truths when it comes to the issue of goal setting. Myth #1: Goals do not have to be written down to be effective. Reality: Handwriting is very powerful and sends a message to your subconscious that they are more permanent. Writing gives them weight in our life. It states it’s something we want to do and with the right planning intend to do. Starting a business is … [Read more...]

I’m taking it off, and have some raw stuff to share

April 12, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I’m so excited to let you in on something…outrageous, bold, and *slightly* vulnerable. First…let me ask you a couple of questions: Have you ever “compared” yourself to certain experts, or other entrepreneurs you know, and felt like everybody is “2 steps ahead”? Do you listen to people telling you how easy it is to grow a business, and wonder why it’s not that easy for you or what you’re “doing wrong”? I totally had those thoughts too. As a matter of fact, I’ve never met anyone who hasn’t thought that on occasion. You’re not alone, that’s for SURE. I’m so excited to be part of something…an event like no other, that’s going to blow the … [Read more...]

3 Sales Strategies to Incorporate Into Your Presentations or Speaking Gigs

April 10, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Speaking in front of an audience is often intimidating or scary. Some of us are more comfortable with it than others. Selling from the stage or in front of a room to a group is a different story though. You may be comfortable speaking and giving great content but are you making an offer or leading the audience to buy something or take an action of any kind? Often times we don’t do these things during our talks because we aren’t allowed to of course depending on the venue and type of event. But other times we are allowed to sell but still don’t or we just don’t do a very good job at it for one reason or another. Typically people who try to sell from the stage but aren’t … [Read more...]

April 5, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

There are lots of speakers out there talking about all kinds of different topics. What makes YOU different? How can you stand out among others who do what you do? If you're doing speaking presentations already or even if you've never done a single one, this presentation will give you some fresh new ideas to get noticed and get booked. Designing what to talk about is an art and a skill because you want to know your overall goal from what you want out of the exposure before you figure out what you want to say. If you're primarily speaking for free, then you can often make an offer at the end of your talk. In that case you need a talk that shares good content but also highlights what … [Read more...]
