The first vision of a business may seem grand and clear.\xa0 Upon launching the business you\u2019ll find it doesn\u2019t exactly fit with the market so you pivot.\xa0 It takes 3 pivots to get to the growth phase of your startup.\xa0\xa0 The first is the Target Market pivot-- you take this when you find the right market. You then have to change your business model to fit the economics of that new market.\xa0 I call this the business model pivot in which you find the right way to structure your business. Next comes the Team pivot-- finding the right people to grow and run that new business model. The originally envisioned business almost never is the one that takes you all the way to a growth stage.\xa0 You\u2019re three pivots away from it.
