“The mental image of a ‘pivot’
that popped into my head is of a
person in a lunge position, with
one foot in the current spot just
long enough to establish the
new direction well, then off she
goes!”

3. Harley Dell
President/CEO at Results First
“The first step to Pivot failure is
thinking I know how to solve
someone else’s problem without
considering what they think the
problem is. Talk to everyone
about your passion and listen.”

Corporation
“Remember that pivoting
yourself only sets your sights on
a new direction, you must still
take the steps (or leaps) that are
necessary to move from point A
to point B. Pivoting is the first
step, not the end result.”

5. Russell Faust
In permanent beta: learning,
improving, evolving ...
“As technology, robotics, off-shoring,
outsourcing, and crowd-sourcing
continue to evolve, those who are
‘successful’ in this environment must
be able to reinvent themselves
constantly; to learn new skills; to
expand their networks; to start ‘new
careers’ ... to pivot.”

“To grow, and uncover new
opportunities, you must connect
with people outside your
immediate circle of friends.”

“You can't gather the
information you need or
conduct the necessary
experiments in your own head -
you need outside input.”
