May 13, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

We're almost to the half way mark for the year and boy is it flying by! I wanted to let you in on a little secret that I'm doing right now in my business and it's about SIMPLIFYING. Yes, you heard it here first....the queen of doing all kinds of stuff in her biz is SIMPLIFYING. Let me share with you why....

What’s LOVE got to do with it?

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...]

Frustrated Woman at Computer With Stack of Paper

It Is - I Promise! BUT....You Have To Set It Up Right AND Have The Right Business Model and Marketing Strategies or It May Not Work! With this day and age of our fast-paced, online and virtual world so much is possible….but you have to be in even MORE places than you can imagine just to build a modest sized income-generating business! (Not to mention a 6+ figure business!) Do you get overwhelmed by the amount of things you COULD be doing to build your business? The problem with most small business owners is that you hear the big long list of things you SHOULD be doing and think, "Well, I'll just pick one and do that for now". WRONG ANSWER! You won't get anywhere doing just … [Read more...]

Being An Entrepreneur Isn’t Easy

March 6, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

It's not easy being an entrepreneur and it certainly isn't easy getting your own business to the 6-figure mark either although so many people think it will be when they start out. Only 5% of entrepreneurs are making over $100,000 a year in their business, how do you expect yourself to be in that group if you aren't actively investing in yourself, your business and learning exactly how to get there. What I've learned over the last 9+ years in my business is that this all takes effort. Something busy business owners don't always spend time working on. A lot of times we're so busy in our businesses that we don't stop and focus on where we're headed and how we can get there. … [Read more...]

Want a 6-figure business makeover and fast?

February 28, 2012 By Katrina Sawa 2 Comments

I'm Katrina Sawa, many call me The Jumpstart Your Biz Coach because this is exactly what I LOVE to help seasoned business owners do and what I've learned over the last 9+ years in my business is that this all takes effort. Something busy business owners don't always spend time working on. A lot of times we're so busy in our businesses that we don't stop and focus on where we're headed and how we can get there. Instead we focus on the day-to-day stuff since it's right smack in our faces. But making huge shifts like this, takes looking at everything in your business - the BIG Picture - and figuring out where the holes are, the opportunities are and basically what else is possible for you … [Read more...]

October 3, 2011 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I'm seeing a trend right now with the women entrepreneurs (and the men too) that I'm talking with about their businesses....most of you are all over the board with what you're doing, thinking, how you're marketing and really, nothing is working.

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...]
