57.65 percent of adults are considering career PIVOTS.* It’s today’s marketplace buzzword. Frankly, I’ve come to hate it. Haven’t you?
It promises much but delivers little.
When I hear PIVOT, I envision a basketball player planting their feet for a three-pointer—only to face body blows, waving hands, and relentless defense. Often, no matter how fast they PIVOT, they’re blocked.
Sound familiar? You try to PIVOT, but instead of smooth movement, you hit more uncertainty, more challenges—more hands in your face!
Here’s what no one tells you: PIVOT is hard work. It’s sweaty, painful, and requires rethinking priorities, staying hopeful even when it’s tough, and stepping outside yourself
It’s an easy word to say but grueling for executives in business to execute.
Yet—wow—is it worth it!
Today’s environment is full of whitespace—open opportunities waiting for you to own if you’re willing to come up with new ideas and then seize the opportunity.
Executives’ confidence is dropping.
Success now demands uncovering new ways to create value. It’s no longer about just working hard—it’s about working smart, fueled by ideas and ingenuity.
So, if you can’t afford to lose, forget PIVOT and FIRE UP!
Will it be easy? No.
Is it doable? Absolutely!
The First Step: Who Do You Say You Are?
If you don’t believe you’re worthy or capable of achieving everything you want—you won’t. Period.
Success starts in your mind, and these 7 Operational Mindsets will transform your results and lead you to your dream career:
- Set Clear Intentions – Identify exactly where you are and what you burn to change. Vague goals deliver vague results.
- No Looking Back – Stop regretting what was. Everything is changing, and it isn’t coming back. Even a hint of lament keeps you stuck.
- Shift from Problems to Hope – Acknowledge challenges, yes, but don’t dwell on them. Hope isn’t passive—it’s an act of courage.
- Seek New Perspectives – You can’t do this alone. Talk to those who are thriving. What are they doing differently?
- Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable – Change is never easy. But remember the excitement of childhood discovery? Tap into that.
- Let Go of Outdated Success Formulas – What worked before is undoubtedly holding you back now. Adaptability is key.
- Refuse to Give Up – Success is a choice. Barriers will test you, but they’re just opportunities to reaffirm your commitment and persistence.
You might be thinking: That’s it? These aren’t groundbreaking secrets!
You’re right—because success isn’t about secret formulas. It’s about consistent action. And if you commit, you will create the career you envision.
But if you want to accelerate your results, you need a partner. It’s harder to do it alone. I’m accepting a limited number of committed clients—those ready to turn their career challenges into life-changing success.
Are you in? Let’s FIRE UP and make it happen.
