I Bet You’re Not Even Doing the Basics

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.... You see, while the leveraged business models are still working, there are some business models that you want to spend your time on and some you ABSOLUTELY DON'T right now.... It's time to 'Get Back to the Basics' of what works in your business, your marketing, your follow up and your overall effective work habits.

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.

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...]

Make This the Year You Get Really Focused in Your Small Business – Because… Focus = Results

January 16, 2012 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

-->> Without a clear focus on what you're selling, how you're marketing and to whom you're marketing how do you expect to really become more successful? This is one of the most difficult things for small business owners that I see which holds them back. There is so much you need to do these days in your business just to even keep it afloat much less make a ton of money. Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed in this new year? If your goal isn't to make a ton of money that's ok but either way, you need to market more and be very focused in what you're offering online and in person or people will find it hard to understand why or how you can help them or why they should buy your stuff. … [Read more...]

Want a 6 Figure Business?

September 28, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Let me tell you… you CAN have a very successful business and make as much money as you want but there are two reasons why you may not have gotten there yet: More than likely you’ve never really learned how to start, run or market a successful business. (I’ll explain more below) You may have a limiting belief often buried deep inside that says ‘you’re not worth it’, ‘you don’t deserve it’ or ‘who do you think you are to do that/charge that’? That lack of confidence and belief in yourself is much more common that you may think; at least 85% of the small business owners I talk to have some level of this going on in their head. Even if you think … [Read more...]

Halloween Mailer Blunder

October 29, 2008 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

So what do you do when one of your fun, fantastic ideas turns into an embarrassing mishap?For any of you who actually received my recent Halloween mailer....let me explain and apologize.For those of you who didn't receive it, learn this valuable lesson instead....Last week of course I was in Chicago and while I was gone I had delegated the coordination and mailing of my fun Halloween mailing to one of my assistants/VAs. It was supposed to be a simple thing, stuffing into big envelopes, candy and a flyer and mailing out to a small, targeted list of folks.Well, my VA, doing her due diligence, got a quote from a local Post Office on how much each piece should be to mail, she put the mailers … [Read more...]
