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:

Elena successfully navigated her company through & WILL be remembered for that.

What will you be remembered for as a leader?

"If I’m spending time on a $10 task, I’m stealing $9,990 from my business."

Do you know what the $10,000 hour is for your business?

According to Kara Smith-Brown, Founder of Lead Coverage, every day you have a:

She knows this well since she scaled to 7-figures, bootstrapped, in 3 years.

I often see womxn entrepreneurs not valuing their time enough.

“Raises Hand” ✋

In 2020, I’m grateful that Get Sh!t Done as a company grew but I also felt the tension of growth when you’ve outgrown systems or processes that are no longer serving you and stealing your time.

We started investing in new systems but TBH it drives me nuts at times as we’re building them.

However, I think back to my interview with Kara as a reminder that having supportive systems promotes scale and prevents me and my team from stealing money from the business.

“We 5X’d revenue and I brought on a co-founder”

Our Queen of the Week is Julie Schechter, Founder of Small Packages.

When I first met Julie, I interviewed her for the Get Sh!t Done Accelerator.

Like every founder we interview for the accelerator, I asked Julie -

“What Traction goals do you want to hit by the end of the year?”

To which she replied, I want to increase our traction to be on track towards $1M ARR and bring on a co-Founder.

Today, Julie has done just that.

On this Queen of the Week, you'll how Julie:

Imagine having $1M in the bank but can’t get a $50k loan.

Imagine having $50 in the bank then start delivering pizzas and sleeping on your roof to Airbnb your place to make rent and run your business.

Imagine losing 50% of your business to COVID with payroll pending that’s crucial to feeding families.

Persist & Resist.

That’s how I would summarize Season 2 of the Get Sh!t Done Podcast.

 I have been rejected by TONS of investors!

From my 1st business at 19 to my last company where I raised from VCs.

At some point, we started putting conversion rates on the pipeline of investors from outreach to conversations to checks closed. This forced us to think logically through the No’s instead of taking it personally.

However, I didn’t know to do that until years into pitching!

More importantly, I wish I would have known that EVERY single investor meeting could become a Yes.

The “Yes” may not be a check but there are SOOO many other invaluable things that you can gain from investor meetings that can help move your business forward.

If you’re a female founder fundraising, you should be looking for your “Yes” in EVERY single investor.

“Purpose is the shape meaning takes in business.”

This should be the motto for 2021 for ALL companies.

From Facebook to Google to The Wing, the entrepreneurial ecosystem has scaled bad practices and behaviors that have hurt many people.

I don’t think these founders had bad intentions.

Quite the contrary.

I truly believe that each of these founders had a vision for helping people that turned sour while scaling.

How?

We perpetuate growth for growth’s sake to saturate markets quickly. While “intentions” may be to serve more people while yielding BIG returns, many of these companies forget to put the very people they claim to serve at the center and harm them in the process.

Remember when Google used the motto “Don’t do evil”?

They don’t use it anymore.

As we forge into 2021, I hope all companies can get clear on who they serve and the purpose of serving them.

Otherwise, why should what you do matter to us?

Sexual wellness will be valued at $108B. People need it but entrepreneurs run away from talking about it.

When we talk about wellness in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, it’s typically about:

When we talk about sex in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, it’s typically about:

Sex as founders doesn’t have to be shunned nor weaponized.

It’s actually important that we take back its power if it’s apart of our lives.

However, it’s EXTREMELY hard to prioritize it when you’re a busy founder building a business, trying to be a good friend, parent, partner, friend, or just breathe and be human.

Sex can be apart of your wellness routine and can be an asset.

The good news is that you can figure out ways to make it apart of your wellness routine regardless of whether you’re single or taken.

Your favorite Sexpert, Ashley Cobb, founder of Bedtanicals knows all about the struggles around building a business and balancing a sex life.
