Episode 365 | How to Pivot in Business Without Apology Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

This is a podcast that was asked for by one of the members of my Better Way Program and by two other clients this week. If you're someone who needs to pivot a part of your business, you don't owe anyone an explanation or an OVER-explanation. Over-explaining is often a trauma response because you have lost people in the past who have misunderstood you. Listen and learn how, and when you should offer explanations for changes in your business.
