You Can Change the Plan - Power of the Pivot in Life and Business

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you tired of working 18 hours a day and yet still not achieving your life and business goals?

Do you ever feel like a silly hamster in a wheel, running and running and not getting anywhere?

There are far too many business leaders, entrepreneurs, digital marketers and executives who feel stuck. They know that things are not working. However, they are afraid to make change. They believe that if they move to plan b, c or even d that they have completely failed.

The truth is moving on to plan b, c, d or even plan e does not mean you failed. We all learn from our mistakes. True success comes from falling down and getting back up, over and over again.

Real leaders are able to embrace change. They help their organization, team and themselves stay relevant.

Real leaders must be able to pivot. They must know when it's time to pivot.

Staying “stuck in a rut” is not good for business or your life. It's the easy way out.

What kind of jobs are most at risk from AI?

Jobs that rely heavily on repeatable output, predictable processes, and low-context decision-making are most vulnerable.
