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

sales-marketing

-->> 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...]

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.

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...]

How to Manage Overwhelm & Massive Life Change

focus

This particular topic has arisen for me this week because of my own life and business happenings. I'm not an expert in life changes, merely a participant and observer.  I do however coach women entrepreneurs how to manage being overwhelmed in their business, how to create better and more effective systems, processes, marketing and teams to take away much of their overwhelm. However today I thought I would just talk about it openly and honestly. First of all, we can be overwhelmed with our business, our to-do lists, our email, our prospecting and follow up - so much so that none of it gets done right?  Ever been there?  So stuck on what to do that you can't do anything … [Read more...]

Are You Living BIG or Playing Small?

I wanted to give a quick tip this week about thinking bigger....I've talked with at least 3 entrepreneurs just this week who I gave some ideas to that were way outside their current thinking or scope of what they believed was possible yet all 3 ideas are totally doable. It's amazing to me how much is out there on the internet these days and how some small business owners still have no real idea what is totally possible in their business or how much they could really make if they restructured their business or their programs and pricing just even a little. This is one of the reasons I do my ezines, because I want to inspire you to not only think bigger but to take action to go after … [Read more...]

How Your Personal Life Affects Your Business

Katrina Sawa, The JumpStart Your Biz Coach

I haven't written much yet on my blog about my personal life and what's going on with me. Unless you're subscribed to my weekly ezine "JumpStart Your Biz Tips" (which you can sign up for to the right I might add -->) or watching me on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/katrinasawa) then you may not know that recently the love of my life decided to end our relationship, and pretty abruptly I might add. It was a huge shock for me as I did believe everything was 'all good'. Thank goodness I had a couple assistants working with me and many systems in my business that kept the business going like nothing happened or it would have taken a little halt due to me being emotionally upset for a … [Read more...]
