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...]

Pricing Versus Value – What Do You Do?

August 29, 2011 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

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...]

How to Create a Memorable Leave Behind or Handout for Your Networking

July 31, 2011 By Katrina Sawa 4 Comments

I am assuming that you ARE networking somewhere! You had better be - it is the best way to meet new people and build those relationships that turn into repeat sales and referrals. Now the question is - What do you bring, pass out or display when you network? Obviously, you are going to bring a lot of business cards. What else can you pass out that will be memorable or useful for the people you meet? What can you develop, create, write or design that is creative, useful, and something that people (meaning your target market, not just anyone) will want? This item should also be easy for you to print, buy, and/or reproduce at a low cost. … [Read more...]

How to Manage Overwhelm & Massive Life Change

May 6, 2011 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

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...]

Automate Your Follow Up to Double or Triple Your Reach

March 13, 2011 By Katrina Sawa Leave a Comment

As a small business owner you're probably doing a ton of things yourself in your business - some you need to do but some also that maybe you shouldn't be doing, right? In talking with hundreds of entrepreneurs every month I find that the majority of them (you/us) never do enough follow up plain and simple. Why is that do you think? I know why because I talk with so many of you every month, it's either because you: Have no idea what to say, send or do for follow up Have tried numerous things and nothing works (supposedly) Do the same things over and over again but you're not tracking what's working and what isn't or you're not willing to tweak it or open up to new ideas, you … [Read more...]

The #1 Reason Your Marketing Isn’t Working

January 20, 2011 By Katrina Sawa 1 Comment

Your marketing doesn't matter without the right mindset - do you have the right mindset for success and abundance?? You basically might as well STOP marketing because it's useless without the following beliefs: Do you believe that it will all work out in the end? Do you believe that YOU are destined for greatness? Do you believe that YOU deserve it? Do you KNOW without a shadow of doubt that you will make tons of money, doing what you love to do, serving those you love to serve in the type of business model that fits your lifestyle?? Do you believe that if you give, you'll receive? Do you believe that money is energy and it has to flow in and out of your life in order for … [Read more...]
