372. Permission to Pivot: The Messy Truth About Changing Your Business Direction

 
 
 
 
 

Is there something that you need to just leave behind?

Changing directions from running a public relations business to event hosting hasn’t been easy. I’ve had plenty of ups and downs (and emotions) throughout the process. But the path to success isn’t a straight line. The real path is full of redirections.

A pivot isn’t an easy switch. It’s a bold move to help you avoid burnout or continuing in a business that’s not right for you. Don’t worry about who you’re disappointing or what you’ve invested in your business already.

In this episode, you will learn about:

  • Signs that it’s time for you to pivot, and a perspective to help you with it.

  • My story of building a PR agency and why I stayed the course when I shouldn’t have.

  • Why you shouldn’t wait for permission to pivot (you already have it).

  • The top reason we resist pivoting and why it’s a fallacy.

  • Why you should make the move you want to—even if you think people are watching.

  • A simple reframe to help you adapt to the changes you’re stepping into.

  • How your clients or customers will let you know it’s time to pivot.
