Not necessarily. You can also change how you provide your existing service. First look at the restrictions the changed environment places on your original approach, then consider whether another method will let you continue doing the work well.
During the pandemic, I took my children to a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant and saw that it had changed to delivering dishes after customers ordered, rather than having sushi circulate continuously as before. Dining and seating restrictions at the time meant fewer customers could be served, making business genuinely difficult. This describes an adjustment I saw then, not a rule applying to every sushi restaurant today.
I used this example to discuss how reaching a limit calls for change, and change can open a way through. When the original method is restricted, look for adjustments that fit the conditions at the time. Changing does not mean every difficulty has been resolved, but it at least shows willingness to face the situation and find a way to continue.
