Les Brown and Motivating Hundreds of Thousands

May 19, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

This week I had the pleasure of speaking on stage alongside a very powerful motivator and speaker....Mr. Les Brown! It was exciting to not only hear him speak again but to be in a lineup with him this time was utterly amazing. Of course as the busy man that he is we didn't have a whole lot of time to truly connect but he was excited to receive my book, Love Yourself Successful, maybe he'll read it and see what I'm all about? One can only hope that it inspires him or someone he loves and shares it with just as he inspires me. This week was the Unleashed Biz 2013 event here in Sacramento. There were 11 other speakers including me and Les who were phenomenal. While we all made … [Read more...]

When's the last time you looked at what YOU were offering? Think it's time to uplevel, change it up or even raise your rates? I had one client once who came to one of my live events and I told her to double her rates....that next month she made double of what she did the month before all because of that. It can be that simple BUT...you may need some supportive entrepreneurs around you to lift you up, push you outside your comfort zone and help you see your true worth in order to do this! That's what I'm talking about a little today in my new video...all about those high level, annual coaching programs you see out there called masterminds (or they really have many names and forms). … [Read more...]

I Have Good News!

May 4, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I have some exciting news to share with you today! But first, I need to know..... Do you ever question why you’re not making the money you desire or if you are living your purpose? Do you look at other successful women and think “Of course she is successful! She’s smarter, more confident, and luckier....but it will never happen for me. I will never be able to do what she does. I don’t have what it takes. Money never comes my way.” Are you frustrated because you know in your heart that you have a message to share with the world- but resistance or fear keeps you stuck? Have you ever sat down and thought to yourself “How in the world is she doing it?” Many times … [Read more...]

Email marketing tips and tricks

May 1, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Do you have spring fever yet? I've been starting to get it....looking out into the nice sunny day from my office window, feeling the cool breezes in the early morning come through the windows and doors....it's nice working from home but I'm going to have to schedule in some *enjoy* time in the am I think a few times a week. What are you looking forward to this spring/summer? I'm looking forward to some quality family stuff - I'm going to be meeting my boyfriend's sister and her husband when I'm up in Portland mid-May. Then next weekend we get to do a Six Flags day out with Riley (I hope my new hip hangs in there all day for that!). And in June we're spending some time in Tahoe … [Read more...]

To be vulnerable, or NOT to be vulnerable? THAT is the question…

April 25, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

Guest Author: Anastasia Netri Many entrepreneurs wonder how much to share with their clients, and for good reason. If you’ve ever wondered how much of yourself to share, and how it affects your credibility, then this article will surely shed some light on this topic for you. When it comes to being authentic in your marketing and communication with your clients, you don’t have to share everything. Sometimes, it’s not in service of them to do so. It doesn’t mean you’re holding back if you don’t want to be public with everything. Private lives are okay! However, being a little edgy with your sharing can really help your clients to relate to you, to know that you … [Read more...]

Maximizing Your Money in Your Small Business

April 19, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

As a small business owner, what I've seen is that you typically could use more direct advice, feedback and training, specifically for YOUR business in order to know what to do and how to do it. You don't need huge group programs where you get lost in the shuffle. Regardless if they are less expensive, trust me, it's not the best route to go if you need to make money pretty quickly and you need to know where to focus to do that (i.e. marketing activities, website, etc.). Today I'm talking about How to Maximize Your Money When Growing Your Business in my New Video! I know you've got less money than ever to invest back in your business so you want to be very careful how you … [Read more...]

Building your list to build your business

April 18, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

This week's video ezine is about building your list to build your business. As a small business owner for almost 11 years now, I've realized that nothing matters in my business besides building a solid list of followers, subscribers, clients and fans that love, trust and connect with me. That's why I focus most of my efforts in my marketing on list building. Basically figuring out how to get in front of a ton more people who don't yet know me every single week. That's why on my NEW VIDEO I'm talking about the key ways to build a responsive list for ANY business in ANY industry - what's REALLY working.... Seriously go take a watch and see what you think for yourself! Oh and don't … [Read more...]

I’m pulling the curtain back – you want to read this

April 17, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I’m really tired of the hype that’s out there. I get frustrated that so many amazing entrepreneurs feel like they’re not measuring up to everyone else, playing the comparison game, and feeling bad about themselves. I want to set the record straight. I had told you a few days ago about an event like no other, that’s going to blow the curtain back and reveal what NO ONE else is showing you, so that you can stop comparing, and know what the “right track” to success REALLY looks like. We are re-defining success – in a way that you can actually relate to, and feel GOOD about. Anastasia Netri and Lisa Cherney have invited me to get really vulnerable and share some … [Read more...]

I’m taking it off, and have some raw stuff to share

April 12, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I’m so excited to let you in on something…outrageous, bold, and *slightly* vulnerable. First…let me ask you a couple of questions: Have you ever “compared” yourself to certain experts, or other entrepreneurs you know, and felt like everybody is “2 steps ahead”? Do you listen to people telling you how easy it is to grow a business, and wonder why it’s not that easy for you or what you’re “doing wrong”? I totally had those thoughts too. As a matter of fact, I’ve never met anyone who hasn’t thought that on occasion. You’re not alone, that’s for SURE. I’m so excited to be part of something…an event like no other, that’s going to blow the … [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...]

I'm finally back networking to more of a normal flow these days since the surgery. Its great to get out of my home office even if I do have to hobble on a cane when I go. This week I was at an eWomenNetwork event here locally. I'm looking forward to the annual conference again; I'm probably going to be an exhibitor this year. I love exhibiting at big conferences like that you get to meet so many great people, collaborate and oh of course it's a great list builder too. (This is me at a local event back in Sept) Do you do tradeshow booths and vendor displays as a marketing strategy for your business? It's actually one of the top 5 strategies I use. Hundreds of new prospects and … [Read more...]

I was interviewed by Evan Carmichael on The Entrepreneur Blog!

February 26, 2013 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

I was interviewed on The Entrepreneur Blog. A blog created by Evan Carmichael to help give practical advice to entrepreneurs who are trying to build and grow their companies online. I was asked by The Entrepreneur Blog how I made my first sale – here’s what I said: What’s your #1 tip for entrepreneurs? While there are so many tips I want to share, the big one that comes to mind that affects most small business owners I see from reaching their full potential is to stop trying to do everything yourself. Stop trying to figure everything out. Stop trying to learn how to do everything in your business yourself such as: designing a website writing a press … [Read more...]

Is Your Website Bringing You Leads Every Month or Not?

Do you have a LOVE / HATE relationship with your current website? Or maybe you don't have a website yet at all because you just can't imagine what to do or how to do it so it actually gives you a return on your investment? Well, your website SHOULD BE your most valuable and most important marketing tool. It's a tool and a marketing mecca. It should be the hub of your small business generating leads on its own, converting those leads to an email list, interacting with visitors to make them want to learn more, read on or sign up for stuff. Most of the time however I see small business websites that don't do any of this. They just plain aren't working for you. They don't … [Read more...]
