If you're a business owner and you've been wondering, "Is it time to pivot… or do I just need to try harder?" this episode is for you. In Episode 356 of the Superabound podcast, I am diving into tricky territory as we discuss something nearly every business owner has to face at least once. If you have noticed your work days feel less alive and harder to sustain, it might not be that you need a better mindset. It might be that the business you built a few years ago is no longer aligned with your Vision or what your customers need. We'll talk about why seasoned, successful entrepreneurs often hold on too long (even when they can see the warning signs), and why pivoting doesn't have to be a dramatic reinvention but can start with a small, low risk experiment. You'll also hear about the intuitive nudge I look for in myself and my clients that it might be time to explore a pivot, and why it isn't always a number in a spreadsheet. If you have started to feel dread, resentment, or depletion in your business, this episode is worth listening to. Here's what you'll walk away with: A clear way to tell the difference between a temporary dip and a real "it's time to shift" conversation Why established business owners often pivot later than they should, and what it costs when they do. The "energy bottleneck" problem, and how to build a business that can breathe without you pushing every inch of it forward. A grounded way to think about experimenting, especially when you do not have endless time, money, or patience. A powerful question to ask when something flops, so you can extract the "$10,000 Learning" instead of spiraling. If you're in that in-between space where you can feel the world has changed, your market has changed, or you have changed, I hope this episode feels like the Thinking Partnership you need. And at the very beginning, I'm sharing a limited-time, no-cost resource for the Superabound community: "5 Days to Superabound Success," a short program with five of our most-used tools (including practices for protecting your time, your personal energy, and your Vision).
