Favorite success quote or mantra:

• "What you can plan is too small for you to live."

In today's episode with Jenny Blake we will discuss:

• If change is the only constant then we should get used to it
• To pivot we must drop what is not working and embolden what is working
• Pivoting is a skill and a mindset; it needs to be continuous
• The 4 stages of the Pivot are:
  1. Plant
     • Determine what are your strengths? What is working?
     • Determiner what is your vision?
     • With COVID-19 you should have two visions: short-term and long-term
  2. Scan
     • What strengths can do double-down on?
     • What is your next move?
     • Plan it out
  3. Pilot
     • Try something out with little investment to test it out
     • It can help you test the three E's: Do I enjoy this? Can I become an expert? is there room to expand?
  4. Launch
     • Actually implementing your new direction
