How to Pivot Your Business (And Why You HAVE To)

August 25, 2020

About This Episode

Today’s episode of the 7 Figure Flipping Podcast isn’t about real estate investing.

At least, not directly…

But it might be one of the most important episodes I’ve released.

Michelle Oppelt and Samantha Mooney are two of the coolest entrepreneurs I know.

They’re the founders of SmartycatTV, a kids’ education company that started out as a “one-woman traveling science show” and now leads the way in transforming how kids learn.

But when COVID19 hit, everything changed.

Their entire business slammed to a stop overnight.

Their school contracts were canceled.

And they weren’t sure Smartycat would survive.

They had to pivot.

They had to change their business model, come up with new ideas, and find new solutions to the challenges ahead of them.

That’s what this episode is about.

If you’re an entrepreneur, this is a message you NEED to hear.

There’s a lot we can learn from Michelle and Samantha…

So let’s dive in to today’s episode!
