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 would happen to YOUR business RIGHT NOW if something really bad happened and YOU couldn’t do the work?

April 16, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

If you haven't seen my posts on Facebook lately I'm currently in the process of restructuring my team. Not something I really WANTED to do, more like forced to do since my main VA (OBM) just left me to go back and work in an office. I know it was a good move for her so that's good but for me, yes, I'm a little left in disarray for a few weeks until we get someone in place to manage what she was doing (which was managing the entire 10+ person team!). I can't believe how it takes a village to run my business now...so far from the days of my one little assistant in my home office 9 years ago... We'll be fine I know it, my team luckily seems to know what they're supposed to do and it … [Read more...]

“One of the Easiest Ways to Double Your Revenues ASAP”

March 24, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

One of the biggest mistakes small business owners make is not doing enough referral source marketing. One of my mastermind clients used to not delegate anything. When she first started working with me a little under a year ago she was making low five figures in her business, been doing it for a little under two years and she was 'doing it' all herself. In fact she wrote this to me in her initial coaching application: "I can do all that stuff; create my own business cards in Word, Create my ebooks, change up my website, do my email newsletters". And she went on to list about a dozen other tasks she could and was doing herself. Yet she couldn't figure out why she wasn't making the … [Read more...]

6 Figure Makeover Program

March 6, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Are you willing to do what it takes? Are you ready to make some HUGE shifts in your business, stop working so hard and start making more money FAST? Take a minute to stop and really think about this because many small business owner SAY they are, yet they aren't willing to do what it takes to get there. Most small businesses and entrepreneurs go out of business because they don't realize what all it takes to successfully run their own 'profitable' business. They get in over their head quick and either struggle for years because they're too stubborn to ask for help before they go bankrupt or they simply burn out. Some run out of money pretty quickly and hold on to their every last … [Read more...]

“How to Start a Business with No Money”

November 7, 2011 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

How could this be you ask? Business owners or wanna be business owners have so many options these days, it's amazing. With the Internet, you can reach millions of people to sell your products or services, you just may not know how to do that and need to learn. In fact, it's been tested by some of the big internet players out there that much of the marketing and advertising options that cost money don't work as well as the free strategies that are available to anyone. Therefore, it's true, you can start a business with no money. Now of course it's important that you have a website and some business cards and those may cost some money.

Want a 6 Figure Business?

September 28, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Let me tell you… you CAN have a very successful business and make as much money as you want but there are two reasons why you may not have gotten there yet: More than likely you’ve never really learned how to start, run or market a successful business. (I’ll explain more below) You may have a limiting belief often buried deep inside that says ‘you’re not worth it’, ‘you don’t deserve it’ or ‘who do you think you are to do that/charge that’? That lack of confidence and belief in yourself is much more common that you may think; at least 85% of the small business owners I talk to have some level of this going on in their head. Even if you think … [Read more...]

Pricing Versus Value – What Do You Do?

August 29, 2011 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Have you ever designed a new program, product or service or had an idea for one that you had no idea how to price? Oftentimes, do you wonder if your ideal prospects will pay you what you're worth? When you think about pricing your programs, products, and services in your business, it can be a tricky decision. However, no matter what you charge, if you don't show to your prospects the value of what they're going to receive, learn or walk away with after buying your program, product or service, then the price doesn't matter. If you can show enough value, you can charge really high prices. You would be surprised what some people would be willing to pay if they see that what you're … [Read more...]
