In the wild ride that is entrepreneurship, the ability to pivot when necessary is an absolute game-changer.
However, the idea of shaking things up can feel much too risky - especially when it comes to continuing to generate revenue.
But is it possible to shift gears without losing your hard-earned momentum?
Today’s guest host is here to answer that question for you! Robyn Birkin is an online business strategist who helps female service providers and course creators create a six and multi-six-figure business in part-time hours with just one front-facing signature program.
Once a well-recognised life coach for women navigating infertility, Robyn made a gutsy decision to flip her business focus on its head. Now, as a thriving online business strategist, she’s sharing her secrets on how to keep the money rolling in—even when you’re making a radical shift in your business.
Embracing the Pivot
Robyn believes that pivoting shouldn’t just be about chasing more money—it's about aligning your work with your values and long-term goals. She encourages us as entrepreneurs to get real with ourselves. Ask yourself the question: Does my current business align with what I want my legacy to be? Am I genuinely passionate about it? If the answers are no, it might be time for a big change.
The Decision-Making Framework
To help others navigate this challenging territory, Robyn developed an effective decision-making framework. At its core, it’s all about ensuring your business aligns with your goals and values. She believes the key is in being honest with yourself about what excites you and what doesn’t.
One of the hardest but most crucial steps is being willing to ‘slingshot’—taking a step back temporarily to make a more significant leap forward. This might mean letting go of a part of your business that no longer fits, even if it’s currently bringing in revenue.
5 Key Strategies for Generating Revenue During a Pivot
So what are some practical ways to continue to make money during a radical change in your business? Robyn shares the strategies that worked for her that will give you the confidence to brave a pivot:
1. Double Down on What's Worked
2. Create Growth, Nurture and Conversion Content
3. Rely on Data
4. Balance Marketing and Sales Efforts
5. Constantly Refine Messaging
Being a CEO sometimes means making hard decisions and pushing through the discomfort to get to your true purpose. But waiting for you on the other side is that deeply fulfilling life and career you set out to create in the first place.
