If you had this one thing, EVERYTHING would change!

May 15, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

More revenue, more time, more support, better marketing plan, better follow up, etc. All of these things are important to your business (and you probably need all of them!), but not one of them will make as big of difference as the thing that I’m thinking of. The biggest thing that is holding you back from having a much more successful business and even one earning 6+ figure revenues is your own level of confidence. So many women entrepreneurs struggle with this and most don’t even realize that this is the biggest reason that they are failing to reach their business goals. The majority of them WANT to make a 6+-figure income, but they look at the mechanics of their businesses. … [Read more...]

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...]

“Unique Marketing Strategy – Being a Radio Show Host – Do You or Don’t You?”

March 9, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I've been hosting my own radio show now for a couple years. And frankly I've been able to track literally ONE client the whole time from it. Now it was a pretty big client mind you so it more than covered my investment for doing the show for the whole two years. However, is that a good enough ROI for the time spent? What are the other pros and cons I've learned along the way about being an online radio show host? I share most of them in the following video - CLICK HERE OR THE IMAGE TO VIEW THE VIDEO AND FIND OUT if this is a good strategy for YOU now or not and if so when? © Copyright 2012 K.
