Summary

There comes a point in almost every entrepreneurial journey where the need to switch things up is no longer just an option — it’s a necessity.

Whether due to burn-out, a major shift in your industry, or a total loss of passion for what you built your business on in the first place, you’re going to need to pivot at some point or another.

In this week’s episode I’m joined by creative entrepreneur, online educator, speaker and world-class travel blogger, Glo Atanmo to talk about how pivoting can actually end up being the best thing for you and your business.

In this episode you’ll hear:

How Glo knew that she needed to make a pivot in her life, and the uncomfortable place she found herself in when this was happening [1:13]
What she means when she says that she’s now doing it for the “90 percent” [3:20]
The intentional approach she is taking with allies in the social justice movement [7:13]
What can become possible in our lives when we focus on mastery [15:35]
The ways that Glo balances setting boundaries with the desire to serve others [20:41]
Why she feels it’s so important to hold space for what she calls “the suck” [29:11]
The reasons she recently decided to take a social media detox, and what this looked like for her [38:22]
What can be so scary about creating space, plus the practices she has incorporated to allow for this in her own life [39:43]
How Glo continues to maintain a sense of creativity and fun each and every day [48:08]

Pivoting your business or life isn’t easy, but most of the time it’s what leads us to the next level

0:00.0	I'm Melissa Griffin and while I was in my 20s, I turned a hobby blog into a multi-million
0:05.8	dollar company. Now, what I've discovered after working with thousands of entrepreneurs is that
0:10.6	the greatest thing standing in the way of success isn't another business tactic or marketing
0:16.3	strategy. It's your own mindset. Now, I believe that you're meant for more than just the status quo.
0:23.2	So on this show, you'll feel like you're sitting down with a friend who's here to help you transform your fears and roadblocks into a truly limitless version of yourself.

1:06.6	Like where did the feeling that something needed a shift start to come into play?
1:12.6	You know, it is so uncomfortable knowing that you're playing small and that you can't
1:17.3	continue playing small for much longer.
1:19.5	And I looked at my goals and I was like, Glow, you only wrote goals that you know you could
