Les Brown and Motivating Hundreds of Thousands

May 19, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

This week I had the pleasure of speaking on stage alongside a very powerful motivator and speaker....Mr. Les Brown! It was exciting to not only hear him speak again but to be in a lineup with him this time was utterly amazing. Of course as the busy man that he is we didn't have a whole lot of time to truly connect but he was excited to receive my book, Love Yourself Successful, maybe he'll read it and see what I'm all about? One can only hope that it inspires him or someone he loves and shares it with just as he inspires me. This week was the Unleashed Biz 2013 event here in Sacramento. There were 11 other speakers including me and Les who were phenomenal. While we all made … [Read more...]

Finding Your Self Mastery NOW!

May 14, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Guest Author: Rhonda Joy Eagle Many of us have had the wonderful experience of being in the presence of a master, someone who is an expert in his or her field, open and totally willing to share their gifts and insights. We often comment on how open and uplifting just being in their presence can be. It feels as if their very being vibrates with vitality and inspiration. In my experience, this is absolutely the case. This individual, who is so vital, inspired, open and open hearted resonates all of these qualities in their very being, as if their cells are infused with this energy. Yes, they actually are. His energy field is imbued with the vibration of these attributes, so … [Read more...]

I’m tired of all the hype….let’s get to the meat shall we?

I'm so tired of all the hype out there on the internet about "make millions at this or that or by doing this or that". Every week I talk with a minimum of 5 small business owners who've wasted time or money doing the wrong things because they listened to some free teleclass or someone teaching a supposed moneymaking process. I want to dispel the rumors out there that it's really that simple to make millions...or even $100,000 because it's not. To start, run, market and enjoy a consistently successful 6+ figure business there are two things you want to focus on: Spending your time wisely (and you may have to spend more time up front than "they say") doing the right revenue … [Read more...]

I'm actually ready for the holidays, are you? Here is a pic of Jason, Riley and I with Santa, we wish you and yours a very happy holiday whichever holiday you celebrate (and even those who don't!). One year a few years ago I remember taking my picture with Zeke, my German Shepherd, with Santa at Petco, it was funny but so cute. I was single then so he was my only love at the time. ;-) I'm glad I finally have an awesome family now to celebrate these times with, it makes it a lot more fun. I hope you have special friends and loved ones that you get to see this month too. Of course, some families only see each other during the holidays which isn't always good. I know my family is so … [Read more...]

How to Turn Your ONE Purpose Into Three for More Effectiveness

November 21, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I was at the Braveheart Women RISE Event all last week and weekend and let me tell you, if you like spiritual type workshops and environments or conferences where it feels like you're in a big love fest, lots of dancing, essential oils, healers, pampering, vegan food...you should definitely consider attending this event next November. For those of you who've been following me for a while, you can imagine....I was a little outside of my comfort zone there. Not too much, I mean, I'm pretty spiritual and deep with my vision, thoughts, intentions, etc. But still, it wasn't my normal business networking event! I picked up a few things though about myself, my business and my purpose there … [Read more...]

Don’t let others influence you – you know who I’m talking about!

September 5, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

We often have some "Not so supportive" people in our lives who deflate our energy, hold us back or just plain out poo-poo our big ideas. I hope you DON'T HAVE ANY OF THESE TOXIC PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE? But in case you do.... If you want to work less and make more doing what you absolutely love to do - now is the time to do that. Quit letting the fear, worry and doubt creep into your thoughts or daily life. Quit thinking, saying and writing those negative thoughts that keep your mind on what you don't have instead of what you want. (Like the dreaded "I can't afford it" If you can't afford this workshop and you know you need it, how the heck do you think you're going to … [Read more...]

Are you feeling the pressure to do more in your business?

August 26, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I know! It's crazy how much we need to do these days just to keep a minimum amount of cash flow coming in each month right? Are you tired of feeling stressed and overwhelmed? You know, what works for me to get more done is to create and implement all kinds of systems. Regardless of where you are in your business, it's important for you to learn: How switching your thinking from "WHAT" to "HOW" can prevent things from falling through the cracks so you can watch your bank account fill up. How you can set your team up to automatically "get it" so they accomplish more than you ever thought possible and say things like, "don't worry, it's handled" - and have the surety that it … [Read more...]

Are You Living the Life You Want and Deserve?

katrinasawa-gttzkjpvjflzjxrdxdhtakycajffjyjd-v2

When I first found out how much money I could truly make as a coach and entrepreneur I was shocked. No one in my family that I knew of ever made over $150,000 or so. It wasn't in my thinking that I'd probably do that in my lifetime but now it's a reality (and then some!). One of my first mentors in the Internet Marketing world taught me about living life to the fullest. But also living it like you had it all today and not waiting for it to come to live a full life, but to live it now. Now, granted, when this all came about the economy was booming and entrepreneurs I met were making tons of money. People were spending money on the Internet like crazy and if you were remotely savvy … [Read more...]

Networking is the least expensive, most effective form of marketing that any small business owner can do.

10 Simple Ways to Follow Up with Prospects

July 2, 2012 By Katrina Sawa 2 Comments

In any business it's important to develop simple follow up systems to keep on top of your prospects', customer's and referral sources' minds. If you don't do your follow up; you are wasting valuable marketing dollars and time you've already spent on gathering new leads. I used to do a lot of networking at chamber events, women's organizations and biz expos and I generally collected about 25-50 business cards from new contacts on a good week. I pay an assistant to enter them all into my computer database for me so I can easily mail merge them when I want to send out a mailer. I also enter them into my email database because I usually ask them in person if they want to receive my free … [Read more...]

What’s Up With All the ‘Mastermind Programs’ Out There and WHY Should I Consider Joining One Myself ? (Part 3)

June 27, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been talking with you about Mastermind programs. Why you should join, what they are, what the are not and which one would be the best fit for you. But ultimately…. What it all comes down to is how do you most like to learn and how are you most productive? You have to know your best learning style so you choose and invest in the programs and products that fit you and how you best learn so you don’t waste your money. I, for example, am NOT a good product learner. I don’t have good luck purchasing a home study kit or other listen to/read type of product and then actually sitting down working my way through it. It will sit on my shelf forever … [Read more...]

What’s Up With All the ‘Mastermind Programs’ Out There and WHY Should I Consider Joining One Myself ? (Part 2)

June 22, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Last week I wrote an article about WHY you should consider joining a Mastermind program. This week I am going to go over what makes a TRUE mastermind and how to know the difference. As most of you know, I’ve been offering my Live Big Mastermind program to you for 3 years now as MY next step in my business. This is my FAVORITE program to run and involves some of my FAVORITE clients who end up moving FAST! THE #1 REASON I did this is because being in these types of programs for me was the single best thing that catapulted my business so fast in the last few years. I wanted to offer that same type of accelerated learning, access and support to a select group of entrepreneurs like you … [Read more...]

I woke up this morning and couldn't get back to sleep without writing this because I think it's so important...this was confusing to me a few years ago too when I first started joining mastermind programs and high level coaching programs. I know many of you are reading other people's ezines and promotions and following other coaches and mentors as well....as you should; but I'm hearing that you're confused. With all the coaching and mastermind options out there right now, all of the 2012 mid-year groups are now forming...not only mine but a couple of my mentors', other coaches like me and more; you're confused as to which one is right for you? I know they are a big investment, not … [Read more...]

June 11, 2012 By Katrina Sawa 2 Comments

Ready to Find Out What You REALLY Need to do to Attract Clients and Make Money Now? 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 really help them 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 … [Read more...]

Making Sense of Social Media – What’s Hootsuite For Goodness Sakes?

June 8, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

katrinasawa-grhykmronleyofbnbyslwyrgyzqbchuy-v2

I laughed as I created this title but it's true. So many entrepreneurs that I talk with or who work with me always ask, "What's Hootsuite and should I be using it for my business?" That's if they have any idea about what it is at all of course, many do not. Hootsuite is an automation tool. The layman's way to describe it is that Hootsuite allows you post comments and updates on your social media profiles all from one online location. This is supposed to save you time from having to log in to all the different ones separately. Some of the things you do on Hootsuite however are good for time management and some things aren't worth doing in my mind because they could make you look … [Read more...]

6 Step Marketing Follow Up System That Business Owners Must Be Doing and Are NOT Doing!

June 5, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Yes, this IS the Jumpstart Your Marketing(R) Ultimate Marketing System! I don't know that I've ever just put it in an ezine before like this so here it is! Yes, I sell my entire system on my website for $197 which includes the instruction, workbook, training audios and all the templates you will want to implement this into your business. It seems like a no brainer right? Wrong. Most small businesses have no idea what to say in follow up, what to send, to whom and when or how. So that's why it just doesn't get done. You aren't doing your phone call follow ups, I know. You aren't mailing anything in the … [Read more...]
