ep013- Drop Doubt with The PIVOT Method and Jenny Blake


Listen Later

Do you long to grow nearly every few months? Not physically (seriously, guys I am 5’10 and have been for nearly a decade) but, rather, professionally?

I’m talking about the kind of growth that leaves you day-dreaming of something bigger and better than the desk and hesitant future based on hope of that of your 9-5.

Jenny Blake had it all. She had landed her dream job at Google. Regardless, she continued to feel the desire to stretch herself into a broader horizon.

In 2005, while working at Google, she created a website as a side-hustle hobby blogger hustling to teach post-grads how to navigate life after college. Slowly (seriously, she was rejected by 27 publishers), the blog lead into her first book, “Life After College”.

In today’s episode, Jenny shares her four-step method, PIVOT, that ensures your next move is the right one. Jenny is a firm believer that change is the only constant for we Millennovator’s and seeks to teach you how to get better at it.

4-Step Method, PIVOT:

1. PLANT
2. SCAN
3. PILOT
4. LAUNCH

She also goes through the entrepreneurial “riskometer” which consists of four zones.

The Riskometer:

The Comfort Zone
Satisfied, comfortable…do NOT stay here too long.
The Stagnation Zone
Bored, unhappy and truly miserable…seeking something better.
The Stretch Zone
Excited, sense of adrenaline, growth…this is where the MAGIC is made, baby.
The Panic Zone
A sense of being stunned or paralyzed, entire panic…giving up out of being overwhelmed.


Tune in to today’s episode and learn exactly how to follow all four steps of PIVOT before you make the next move within your entrepreneurial journey.
