#064: Permission to Pivot with Michelle Kuzmick
In this episode of Sunshine Cafe, Lisa sits down with Michelle Kuzmick, a serial entrepreneur with over two decades of experience in business. From her beginnings as a photographer to becoming an Online Business Specialist, Kajabi Expert, and Executive Editor of She’s Making Her Way Magazine, Michelle has navigated career twists and turns with grace. She shares her journey of embracing change, balancing work and family, and giving herself permission to pivot when necessary.
If you've ever struggled with career transitions, self-doubt, or finding the courage to take the next step, this episode is packed with wisdom and encouragement just for you.
Key Takeaways:
- Work is a Means to an End – Sometimes, a job is just about paying the bills, and that's okay. Don't get stuck waiting for the "perfect" opportunity—do what needs to be done.
- Be Willing to Do What’s Needed – Success often comes from stepping outside of your official role and helping where you can. Michelle’s story about creating a wedding bouquet for a bride, even though it wasn’t her job, is a perfect example.
- Give Yourself Permission to Pivot – Life and business are full of changes. Pivoting isn't failure—it's growth.
- Balancing Career and Family – Some women thrive in the corporate world, while others feel called to focus on family. Both are valuable, but trying to do everything at once may lead to regret.
- Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff – Logos, brand colors, and business names don’t matter as much as your ability to serve others. Focus on impact over perfection.
- Entrepreneurship is a Mental Game – Protect your mindset, don’t let self-doubt take over, and push through tough moments with resilience.
- Start Today – The big project or business idea you’ve been putting off? A year from now, you’ll be so glad you started.
