Key Takeaways

• Recognizing Burnout & Misalignment:
  Maya explains how burnout is often a sign of misalignment rather than just overwork. If your business or its offerings no longer energize you, it might be time to consider a change.
• Permission to Grow:
  Wanting something new doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful for your journey. Growth is natural and necessary—congratulate yourself for evolving!
• How to Reinvent:
  Start by honestly evaluating what aspects of your business you no longer enjoy. Identify what still brings you joy, then clarify if you’re changing your audience/message, your business model, or both.
• Detaching Identity from Your Brand:
  Maya shares strategies for those whose businesses are closely tied to their personal identities. Consider shifting focus to your company’s vision, values, and team.
• Practical Tips for Rolling Out a Reinvention:
  Plan a thoughtful rollout—update your visual branding, messaging, and offerings with intention so your audience can get to know the new you.
• Reinvention vs. Rebranding:
  There’s a big difference! Rebranding is usually about new visuals, while reinvention digs deep into your business model, offers, and ultimate purpose.
• Cautionary Tales:
  Maya references real-world examples (like Kim Kardashian’s initial Skims misstep) to highlight why market research and cultural awareness are key when making big changes.
