“One you have to understand that if it’s new, you have to like be patient with yourself because you’re there’s a lot of research involved in pivoting to a new company. You don’t have that skill set.
But just because you don’t have that skill set doesn’t mean you don’t bring value to the table.
It’s just that there’s a learning curve when it comes to pivoting to you really have to know what you’re getting yourself into.
And that’s why having that strong network is going to help you ask the people who’ve done it before you to share what were some of their challenges.
What were some of their highs, what are some things to look out for pay attention to? Because the more information you have, the more seamless that transition is going to be.
And three, just because you pivot doesn’t mean that’s the end all. You’re going to pivot constantly and if this doesn’t work out, go to something else.
It’s okay. Just remember that the failures are just lessons learned. It’s not a reflection of who you are as an individual.
