My Story: From Corporate to Socks to Online Biz Success

By Elena

Here’s a recent interview of me by David Siteman Garland of The Rise to the Top.

It’s only 36 minutes long, but David sure knows how to get the most from an interview!

Watch it and find out how I:

  • got the interview, the “sneaky” way
  • went from corporate employee to a sock entrepreneur and finally running my own business from home and operating it from two countries
  • came up with the idea for PR in Your Pajamas
  • became the go-to person in the world of public relations
  • get things done by working with virtual teams
  • really bring in the moolah in my home-based business

Enjoy the interview and please let me know what you think by posting a comment below.
