Nice To Meet You
I'm Sarina Correa
Ekkkk!!! I love that you're here! As you may already know my passion is mentoring and coaching creatives to build multiple streams of revenue online! Who would have thought that this country girl from Oregon would be able to change lives, one day at a time?!?!
I'm the founder, coach and mentor behind Made To Monetize. If someone told me 20 years ago that I would be doing this today, I would have thought they were crazy! Well here I am celebrating my 8th year...Hello CREATIVES!!!
Like you I've been a creative all my life. In my 20's I started figuring out how to monetize my passions, since then it's been a wild ride with one start up after another, all giving me the tools to teach, coach, and mentor other creatives.
When I'm not serving my creative communities or my financial clients here in Tampa Bay, you can find me loving on my three dogs and my teenage son (sorry no picture of him, he thinks his mom is weird).
My Wild Creative Journey!
It's been a wild ride but I would not change it for the world, we all have a story that leads us down a path and my path has so many twists and turns!

I should also mention that in 2001 I started my career in the Financial Planning industry and work with one of the largest custodians in the world. I have the pleasure of guiding and mentoring some of Tampa's most successful business owners and families and I have no desire to slow down. I love what I do and I feel like I was put here on earth to serve, create and inspire!
"When I first came across the Divas I was struggling to find a way to get our business to the next level. With the support and knowledge, not to mention friendship, of all of these amazing people we have grown leaps n bounds in just a short period of time".
"Sarina is an awesome business coach. She is so knowledgable. She has helped us build our business with our website, etsy, emails and so much more. You will learn so many things from her that will help you take your monetization to the next level".
"Sarina is so knowledgeable. I've been in other groups and no coach has ever been so hands on. Sarina is the real deal."
Why I Do What I Do?
One word..."Community"! I'm a firm believer that we're put here on earth because a job needed to be done. I knew at a very early age that my purpose was to serve. As a young adult I thought the only way you could serve was in the church, clearly today I know otherwise. Serving is about putting the needs of others before your own (hey don't worry, I take time for me too). Why would I not do this? What good is all this knowledge if I can't share it with others? Do you know what it feels like to see someone reach their goals, experience their dreams and live a life they desire? It's pure joy! My community is why I do what I do! What is your why?
LET'S BUILD SOMETHING AMAZING TOGETHER
A PROGRAM LIKE NONE OTHER!
You don't make it 8 years as an an online coach if what you do doesn't work! Proof is in the community!
