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?

money-tag1-300x211

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?

nudge-people

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...]

Business Meeting Notes

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...]

Pricing Versus Value – What Do You Do?

pricetag

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...]
