How I Pivoted My Career & Business (And What You Can Learn from It)
Pivoting your business or career can feel like letting go of everything you've built — but sometimes it's the most aligned and powerful decision you can make. In this episode, I’m sharing the raw, real behind-the-scenes of my biggest pivot to date: leaving behind my identity as a sustainable fashion consultant to start a brand new chapter. Last year, when I turned 30, I hit a full-on existential crisis. I questioned everything — my work, my purpose, and my future. So many of you asked how I knew it was time to pivot, how I found the courage to do it, and how I figured out what to do next. That’s exactly what I’m breaking down for you today. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or just curious about what else is possible for your next chapter, this episode is for you. I hope it gives you support, clarity, and some practical tools to move forward! I discuss: - How to know when it’s time to pivot vs. when you need to stick it out - The mindset shifts that helped me finally quit what wasn’t working - Tactical tips for financially and emotionally planning your pivot - How to communicate your pivot (if you want to) without spiraling - Lessons I’ve learned after changing my business and identity TIMESTAMPS 00:11 The Challenge of Pivoting 01:29 Recognizing the Need for Change 01:50 Knowing When to Pivot 02:44 The Mindset Shift Around Quitting 05:02 Setting Checkpoints and Metrics 07:45 Dealing with Burnout 09:16 Examples of Successful Pivots 10:34 Making a Plan for Your Pivot 14:52 Communicating Your Pivot 17:50 Financial Planning for Your Pivot 18:34 Testing Before Committing 19:48 Lessons Learned from Pivoting RESOURCES MENTIONED → Your Success Roadmap: https://selinaho.com/roadmap → Quit by Annie Duke → https://youtu.be/3xCbTC0Jqm0 SUPPORT TO SUCCEED → Confessions of a Conscious CEO newsletter: https://ceo-confessions.beehiiv.com → Start a business with the free Build a Sustaining Business program: https://selinaho.com/basb → Grow your business with the Sustain Your Success course suite — start with the free Your Success Roadmap: https://selinaho.com/roadmap → Secure me as your business advisor to sustainably scale your business: https://selinaho.com/btl LET’S CONNECT → Newsletter: https://ceo-confessions.beehiiv.com → Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/selinajho → LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/selinaho → TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@selinajho_
