Season 2: Pivot, But Don't Get Off the Train

There are times as leaders that we have to make major decisions. We have to take everything into consideration: time, money, the team's thoughts, brand image, etc.  There are other times that the decisions will cause us to PIVOT or shift directions. Pivoting is essential for the life of any business or brand. 

With that being stated, you've guessed it! The Join the Journey with Dr. Latisha Webb Show has pivoted into a FULL BLAST PODCAST. We are no longer on The Grown Folks Radio Station. And there was no love lost. We are so grateful for Shelly Shell Williams and DJ KIDD DISCO for three months of teaching us the ropes of the internet radio world.  It was a great learning experience for us all. Baby Bruh, Doc C and I gelled together as a dynamic team. In addition, Bishop Rudolph Mills, The Street Bishop, comes along every first Sunday and takes the cake with his street and church humor.  Being on the station was a great stepping stone; we all have to begin somewhere. X marks the spot for The Grown Folks Radio station as the starting point for Join the Journey with Dr. Latisha Webb.  After three months of riding with me on my journey, they reached their train stop to hop off. We are continuing the journey as a podcast while searching for the next radio station.

The four most important lessons learned from being with The Grown Folks brand includes:  

1. Keep your vision at the forefront. Do not let anyone talk you out of your original plan and purpose. 
2. Be independent, not dependent, by knowing how to produce your content. If you do not know how, then take the time to learn early. 
3.  Do not ignore the early warning signs. If it does not settle with you, then pivot. Your gut never lie. 
4.  Value the thoughts, opinions and time of your team. If it were not for them, your product would not be as fantastic as it is.

We would love to hear your truth on pivoting and how it was the best or worst decision you made as a brand leader. Comment below.
