UNDERSTANDING THE CORE PRINCIPLES OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP Day 7: The Art of Pivoting:- Adapting to Change Sometimes, things donโ€™t go as you planned and thatโ€™s okay. In fact, itโ€™s a natural part of the entrepreneurial process. Just look at Instagram. Originally, it was a check-in app called Burbn, but the team quickly pivoted when they realized the photo-sharing feature was the most popular part of the app. That pivot turned Instagram into the global social media giant we know today. Pivoting isnโ€™t about giving up, itโ€™s about being flexible and open to new opportunities. If something is not working, donโ€™t be afraid to adjust your approach, change your direction, or even reimagine your product. The most successful startups are the ones that can adapt to the ever-changing market and customer needs. So, keep an eye on feedback, be willing to change course, and remember: adaptability is key to survival in the startup world. Enjoyed this? Visit my profile @Shiv Bharankar for more posts.
