A pivot is a chance to evolve into something better
- Maybe your perspective and vision have shifted after you've launched your brand. Redoubling on your original goals may be the wrong move.
- Or you may find that researching a niche and becoming part of it are two different things.
Customers and investors value credibility but also effective action. As long as the pivot is done gracefully, your customers will value the transparency.

Let your pivot signal an overarching aim
Pivots are full of growth opportunities, but the key is to be consistent. Before you dive into a pivot, consider how it can fit into your brand's big narrative.
Employees, customers and investors are more likely to be receptive to a pivot if it is in line with the company's overall mission.
