When Your Business Model Stops Working (And What to Do)

The event industry is shifting — and if your business looks exactly the same as it did two years ago, that might not be stability. It might be a warning sign.

In this solo episode, Jese breaks down what she's seeing across the event industry right now: changing client behavior, unpredictable booking cycles, tighter budgets, and a market that's rewarding different things than it used to. She walks through three strategic ways to pivot your business when you see the signs of change — without blowing everything up or starting from scratch.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The specific shifts happening in how event clients buy, book, and spend
• Why pivoting your audience might be the most powerful (and most overlooked) move you can make
• How changing your positioning — not your service — can transform your inquiry rate overnight
• When it might be time to ask the hard question: is this even the right business model for where I'm going?
• The difference between a panic move and a strategic pivot

This one is for every event pro who's been feeling the shift but hasn't known what to do about it.
