#18 Persisting After Losing 50% of Your Revenues (Elena Valentine, Founder of Skill Scout)


Listen Later

How do you bounce back after losing 50% of revenues?

I’ve never cried during a podcast interview until I interviewed Elena Valentine.

I wanted to interview Elena on how she scaled her company to 7-figures bootstrapped.

However, it was of the most meaningful conversations I’ve had about leading through a storm.

Elena's storm was the pandemic stripping her company of 50% of revenues in 2020.

The entrepreneurial ecosystem tends to discuss when people failed or when they succeed.

But what about what it’s like to fall? To get back up? To keep going?

THESE moments define GREAT leaders & companies.

Here's what you'll learn from Elena, Founder of SkillScout:

  • How external validation led to a worthiness conundrum.
  • The raw reality of what it's like to fight for your team so they can feed their families.
  • How she redefined success in 2020 not as growth but rather what she wanted to be remembered for as a leader.
  • Elena successfully navigated her company through & WILL be remembered for that.

    What will you be remembered for as a leader?
