Changing strategies midway is not uncommon for entrepreneurs. In fact, it can be a way to further explore the industry and understand the strengths and weaknesses of your brand or product.
Most entrepreneurs start to pivot when they begin to lose that original spark in their business’s identity or their brand is not aligned anymore with their current goals. Improve your business’ revenue and pursue a new target market by aligning your business with a new strategy. Immediately after pivoting, you’ll soon recognize the importance of rebranding your business.

This involves an all-encompassing transformation of your business that will realign to your new vision and goals for the business which is essential for entrepreneurs who continue to cultivate growth and increase their bottom line.

I am joined by Teaira Abston, owner of the Dreamcatcher Creative Studio, as we discuss the importance of rebranding after a pivot.
