Don’t Abandon Your Business Before It Pe...

Leila Hormozi
About this episode

In this episode, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) challenges the seductive idea of “pivoting” your business. She argues that most pivots aren’t strategic; they’re emotional reactions to boredom, fear, or the first real obstacle. Drawing on lessons from helping thousands of companies scale, Leila shares why the biggest returns often come years after most entrepreneurs quit, and how to resist chasing trends like AI by doubling down on your current mission.
