The Launch That Signaled A New Chapter
- After a multi-million dollar launch Amy Porterfield realized on a team Zoom that it would be the last time she launched Digital Course Academy.
- She felt calm certainty that a chapter had closed and she was ready to move toward something new.
Two Very Different Pivots
- Amy Porterfield distinguishes two pivots: impulse pivots driven by boredom and earned elevations built on sustained results.
- An earned elevation moves you toward something aligned and bigger after you've put in the reps.
Ask Hard Questions Before You Pivot
- Before pivoting, ask if you can accept less income, sit in uncertainty, appear inexperienced, and risk public failure.
- Also decide if you're willing to let go of something good and focus long enough to see the new thing succeed.
