Description

Every entrepreneur eventually faces the million-dollar question: Do I stick it out, or do I pivot? In this episode, Jenn breaks down the difference between persistence that leads to success and stubbornness that keeps you stuck. You’ll learn a simple, practical framework to help you decide whether it’s time to double down on your current strategy, or make a bold move in a new direction.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your business challenge is a speed bump or a dead end, this episode will give you the clarity you need.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • 4 indicators that it’s time to pivot (and why “failure” isn’t always the reason)
  • 4 red flags that it’s NOT time to pivot (and what to do instead)
  • ✅ How to set clear success criteria so you know if your strategy is actually working
  • ✅ Why execution quality matters more than ideas (and how to self-assess honestly)
  • ✅ The role of leading indicators vs. lagging results in decision-making
  • ✅ How to test new approaches without burning down what you’ve already built

Key Takeaways

  • Pivoting isn’t failure. It can mean you’ve outgrown your old strategy or discovered a more aligned opportunity.
  • Persistence is powerful—but only with strategy. Sticking to a plan that isn’t working is just expensive stubbornness.
  • Data over drama. Use patterns and metrics, not feelings or comparison, to decide whether to stay the course.
  • Test, then commit. Small experiments can validate a new direction before you overhaul your business.

✨ Whether you’re questioning your current business model, debating a new offer, or just stuck in the messy middle, this episode will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
