Let’s talk about managing expectations. And more specifically—the pressure to do what “everyone says you should do” in business.
Truth is?
I’m over it.
Over the hustle.
Over the gurus and influencers barking advice.
Over the guilt that creeps in when I choose rest, fun, or family over another marketing “strategy.”
Can you relate?
We’re told to post daily, batch content weeks in advance, plan elaborate launches, and share every behind-the-scenes detail to build the elusive know-like-trust factor. But here’s the thing:
I’m not doing all that.
Not because I can’t—but because I don’t want to.
I post when I have something valuable to say.
I show up when it feels aligned.
I don’t follow a strict content calendar or obsess over my analytics.
And still—my business grows. People connect. Opportunities come.
Because I’ve learned something powerful:
Simplicity and clarity beat hustle—every time.
And that clarity? It gives me more time for what matters most—my joy, my family, and the impact I actually want to make.
Here’s What I Do Instead:
-
I host Coffee Chats and free classes where people can talk with me directly, no pressure.
-
I leave meaningful, supportive comments on posts when friends ask for advice.
-
I pour my energy into masterminds and groups I love.
-
I create real connections, not just content.
That’s what works for me.
It’s simple. It’s sustainable. It’s real.
Because let’s be honest—so many “mentors” out there are just giving you surface-level strategies. They’ll tell you what to do, maybe why, but rarely take time to understand what you actually want. They don’t ask about your lifestyle, goals, or what feels good for you before offering advice.
So if you’re feeling overwhelmed or burned out trying to chase someone else’s version of success, I’ve got a question for you:
Where are you following someone else’s playbook instead of owning your own?
What if you could grow your business with less pressure, more clarity—and yes, more income and freedom?
That’s where I come in.
Let’s simplify. Let’s clarify. Let’s build this thing your way.
I’m great at spotting the gaps and helping you rework your time, energy, or offers to create more cash flow and ease. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Katrina Sawa, The Jumpstart Your Biz Coach
“I’m really excited about what I’m learning. You can add me to your list of people who wish they had found you 10 years ago. When the student is ready the teacher appears.”
“When I joined the Live Big Mastermind with Katrina Sawa I knew that I would have the support I needed to put the systems in place to be successful! In the time that I have been in LBMM I have created a steady stream of 1-on-1 clients, speaking opportunities, written 1 book myself and been a co-author in 3 others AND created an online course. I relied on Katrina’s clear instructions each step of the way to create a foundation for success. I’ve been able to hire 2 VA’s to delegate the things I don’t want to do to be able to do all things I love to do! I am on my way to a 6+ figure business and this would not have been possible without LBMM.”
