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 send your business into a tailspin with … [Read more...]

Update About Les Brown & Me, Your Authentic YOU Video Tips + Where to Focus For Better Results

It was so fun being on the same stage (technically) with the great Les Brown this week! Technically I stood on the stage when I spoke but he stood in 'front of' it. LOL His mannerisms and the style in which he speaks is so like what I like to do. He's totally transparent and authentic. In fact, it was hilarious, but he even pulled some waterproof mascara out of this pocket during his talk, and groomed his head and beard with it saying that's how he gets rid of the "grey"! Only he would do that I think but it just proves that you do have to be yourself and that's when people will LOVE you the most. Read more about this on my blog and see more pics too! I got a chance to talk with a … [Read more...]

Join Katrina Sawa & the Public Speakers Association on April 9th at 4:30pm PT and Learn How to Design Your Talk to Make Everyone Want What You’ve Got to Offer!

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...]

20 Tips to Maximize Your In-Person Networking

July 11, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

katrinasawa-dwfaqqmqjdsalubbicvmzzjgrwqaqriv-v2

Networking is the least expensive, most effective form of marketing that any small business owner can do. Nowadays you can do it online and offline but there are some keys to doing this that are crucial so you're not being too salesy, pushy or annoying AND you're still building great relationships with qualified prospects! I know networking is still such an important marketing strategy for any business owner because this is how I built my multiple-six-figure business, massive amounts of networking and having a clear follow up plan. And you can do it too even if you 'hate' networking! Click Here to read my top 20 in person networking tips that I share with all my clients whether they're … [Read more...]

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...]

katrinasawa-qblmngjykujmbrbbbkuavhgydfjjemnc-v2

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...]

The Simple 3 Step System to Start Attracting Clients & Making Money NOW!

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...]

Small Biz Don’ts and How to Avoid Them

June 1, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

katrinasawa-gaxstuewvosbxatxrpshuyvgxkgtfswa-v2

99% of the small business owners I talk to every month have HOLES in their business. Sales and Marketing holes, many of which could be fixed for free or very little investment. They don't see these holes usually however because they're too close to their own business but that doesn't mean they aren't there. I see the holes as huge opportunities for increased sales that could happen with such little effort or expense. In fact often times the seasoned business owner is so set in their ways that they don't evolve with the times, therefore actually losing market share, revenues and overall marketing pizzazz; it becomes much more difficult to attract new clients when you're not moving the … [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...]
