#79: How Selena Soo Launched a $300,000 Coaching Business (and Connects with Influential Entrepreneurs)

About the Episode:

In today’s episode, we’re talking to Selena Soo, one of the most well-connected entrepreneurs I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

In 2012, Selena transitioned from earning $42,000/yr at her full-time job doing public relations to soon earning over $300,000/yr in 2014 running her own coaching, consulting and online course business.

Today, she’s grown that business well into the seven-figures. And Selena credits much of her success to building meaningful relationships with several top leaders in the world of entrepreneurship—including people like Adam Grant, Danielle LaPorte, Ramit Sethi, Derek Halpern, and Marie Forleo—no small feat, especially since she considers herself quite an introvert.

Now, Selena’s focused on growing her business that’s composed of a combination of mastermind events, digital products, and coaching sessions designed to help online business owners take their growth to the next level.
