Can I be real with you? There have been times in my business when I wanted to burn it all down. Shut the laptop. Toss the planner. Delete the Instagram account. Sound familiar? But what I’ve learned over and over (the hard way, of course) is this: You don’t pivot because you’re “over it.” You pivot because you’ve EARNED it. Inside this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to pivot your business—and spoiler alert: it’s not just about following your gut or chasing a shiny new idea. It’s about doing the WORK before the change. This episode was inspired by a flash-fire Q&A I hosted on Instagram. And y’all did NOT hold back—question after question poured in about how to pivot, when to pivot, and what to do when you’re just plain tired of what you’ve been building. So today, I’m walking you through the 5 key steps to earn the right to pivot your business: * Why consistency is the ultimate credibility-builder. * How to tell if you’ve truly put in the reps (or if you’re just tired). * What to do when you’ve operationalized everything... and it’s still not working. * How to pivot strategically, not emotionally. I also share some tough love about the difference between changing direction because you're frustrated and changing direction because you've learned everything you can from your current path. If you're at a crossroads in your business—debating whether to pivot, push through, or throw in the towel—this episode is your permission slip to get clear, focused, and real about what comes next. Because let me tell you something, friend: you don’t pivot to escape the work—you pivot because you’ve DONE the work. Now let’s do this together.
