Making It Happen
Regardless of what stage you're at in your career, you need to be mindful of opportunities. Sometimes, in businesses, we may not need to pivot, but doing so may put us ahead of the curve. Establishing the data to support these decisions is important, but that's another matter. What this is about, is establishing the frame of mind to be flexible. Every brand and company has an ethos that they abide by. However, recognize whether or not your no longer abiding by ethos, and rather, too much persistence. If the Leatherman multitool didn't find flexible solutions and just, "stuck to the set approach," of trying to get distributed through major knife manufacturers, then they most likely would have never found major commercial success. But, they adapted, found new solutions, and they overcame, because they found the opportunities in disguise.
With a flexible mindset, they established dominance, something we could all learn from. Recognize when to be flexible, and when to pivot into a new direction. Opportunities are everywhere, you just need a limber mind to see them all.
