You didn't build a twenty-year career just to spend the next twenty doing the same thing on autopilot. If a quiet Sunday-night dread has started arriving earlier every week, The Pivot Point makes the case - backed by a step-by-step business framework, not vague inspiration - that midlife is the smartest possible moment to build an independent income. Your decades of experience, your professional network, and your hard-won self-knowledge aren't liabilities to work around. They're the exact assets a market will pay for, if you know how to package them. This isn't a memoir about someone else's leap of faith. It's a practical blueprint for yours: how to diagnose what's actually wrong before you act, choose a business model that fits your real skills, build a financial runway so the transition never threatens your stability, and land your first paying client within 90 days - without quitting recklessly or burning out all over again. What's inside: - A four-part diagnostic to separate burnout, misalignment, and boredom - because each one calls for a completely different pivot - A complete skills inventory framework to uncover the business assets already hiding in your career history - Five proven business models for career pivoters, from consulting to knowledge products, matched to your risk tolerance - The exact runway calculation to fund your transition without gambling your savings - A low-risk validation process to test demand before you build anything - A week-by-week 90-day launch plan, from your first outreach message to your first paid client - Pricing frameworks, legal and financial basics, and burnout-proofing systems to keep your new venture sustainable for the long run
