When do you know it’s time to pivot? A lot of people have this fear of the unknown and they would rather let that fear hinder their growth than take any risk. But once you’re actually able to find that sweet spot of tying in your passion with your purpose, you have the ability to create your own breakthroughs and set those up for when they’re going to happen.
