Don't pivot partially. There are varying degrees of pivots of course, but if you are having to pivot because a market or idea didn't work out, commit 100% to it. The worst thing you can do is partially commit where you don't fully push forward in the new direction and try to keep a foot in the old idea/process for fear of losing what little you had. Partially committing almost always will create a failure, or at least delayed or more costly success. It can be scary to pivot, in fact the more success you've had the harder it gets to pivot but many times it is more important than ever at that point.
