The Wellness in Hospitality Podcast

77. When to Fail Fast & Pivot vs Hang In & Iterate your Wellness Concept

Sonal Uberoi

Have you ever wondered when to throw in the towel on your wellness concept and when to keep tweaking it?


Today, I’d like to talk about one of the biggest challenges wellness and hospitality leaders face: knowing when to fail fast and pivot versus when to hang in and iterate.


In this episode, we’ll uncover how to identify if your concept is fundamentally flawed or if it just needs a few tweaks. Many wellness leaders struggle with this decision, and I’m going to share some simple ways to help you figure it out.


Here’s what you’ll learn:

→ The emotional cycle of change that all leaders go through.
→ The four types of wellness offerings and how to tell which one you have.
→ How to decide whether to stick with your concept or pivot before it costs you too much time and money.


By the end of this episode, you’ll feel ready to make the right call — whether to pivot or fine-tune your wellness concept, saving you time and frustration.
