3 Pivots That Provide Prosperity
What does it mean to pivot?
The term “pivot” has become a buzzword referring to a significant business change -- ranging from mild to dramatic. A pivot is usually intended to help a business recover from a tough period, or survive after experiencing new competition or other factors that make the original business model unsustainable.
Today I give you “3 Pivots That Propel Prosperity”
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
(1 Peter 4:10 New International Version)
That's a powerful message even if you're not a religious or spiritual person.
Look at the practicality in that statement: "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others..."
If we don't serve others in business, we will not succeed. Maybe you can find some short term success by exploiting others, but to succeed long term - your business must serve others.
My tip this week is simple and you may find it bizarre, but here goes:
Delete social media apps from your phone
I know that may sound crazy to some, but I had a good reason to do this. I've been keeping an eye on my screen time lately and in doing so discovered that I was spending an alarming amount of time scrolling through Instagram, Facebook and a few other platforms.
Don't get me wrong. I'm still active on social media, I just don't want it to be the default way that I spend my time when I could be doing other things (like being with the people I'm with).
For the record, I kept Instagram installed because that service is designed specifically for mobile, but I only allow myself to scroll at specific times.
I'm only a couple of weeks into the experiment, but so far it has been great for me. My mind is quieter, I'm less "worked up" about things that aren't my business and life is much better.
The pivots I'm talking about today are "Mindset Pivots" which can help bring you prosperity in any business.
You need to pivot:
Okay, "Dabblery" is a word I'm pretty sure I made up, but I'll bet you can guess what it means. If you've been dabbling in social media promotions, dabbling with Youtube videos, dabbling with Facebook ads...or whatever else you're "dabbling" in - you need to stop dabbling and go for Mastery of a particular thing.
