Many of our part-time team members lost motivation after our first pivot. They were first sold on the original vision, and they did not see that same vision in the product we pivoted to. Others believed we pivoted too quickly without fully giving the first product a chance.
So, I would make sure that everyone on the team gets to participate in the pivoting process, including realizing for themselves why a pivot is necessary. Also, make sure everyone realizes that the overall company vision and values are still there, even though the form of the product has changed.

IMO, part of a successful pivot is making sure you don't grow too quickly before you find product-market fit. Perhaps you pivoted too far? IMO, a lot of early-stage companies can pivot without changing the general vision. I think it's important that the vision and team are flexible enough that pivots within that vision are anticipated and tolerated.
