Summary

SHOW NOTES: http://fizzleshow.co/253

Are you considering a change of course in your entrepreneurial life? Have you had an idea that is just so much more exciting than what you have been working on? Is it time for you to switch everything up?

These are really important questions that arise for all entrepreneurs from time to time. Some of the most successful people we know, experienced their success after abandoning a project they had built for years. But knowing when to make a switch like this is key.

In this episode, we break down the important elements in the question and look at some ways to start answering it for yourself. The team speak through experiences and beliefs on the subject, looking at real life examples and trying to tally the pros and cons for you to weigh.

We also talk about the role of fear, the different types of pivots that it is possible to make and how to transition into a new project in the most stress free way.

Whatever kind of entrepreneur you may be, it is highly likely that this question is in your orbit at least some of the time, and we can’t wait to help you along the correct path.
