The Soloist Life Rochelle Moulton

What if the standard productivity advice gets it wrong? What if your performance, health and happiness are grounded in how well you manage your energy, not your time?
Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz’s The Power of Full Engagement makes an excellent case for the role of energy in performance:
The four types of energy—physical, emotional, mental and spiritual—and how they interrelate.
How harnessing all energy sources allows us to optimize our productivity, happiness and engagement in the world around us.
Why life—and work—isn’t a marathon, but a series of sprints (and why you want to manage your energy like a sprinter).
How to get back on track when your energy sags.
The role of your purpose and the amount of energy you invest in yourself vs. others.

When you’ve been on staff at an organization—especially in the lead role— transitioning to consulting can be a bit disorienting. Consultant to credit unions Mark Triechel talks about the lessons learned in his switch from regulating an industry to advising them:
How to quickly morph from “retirement” into a Soloist expertise business serving your former constituents.
Dealing with non-competes and ethics clauses honorably while building your new business.
Becoming a “Soloist with a twist”—why you don’t have to work alone.
How “changing teams” allows you to continue serving an existing niche in new (and profitable) ways.
Turning what could have become a pure compliance practice into a strategic advisory business.

Can you build a six to seven figure Soloist business doing the opposite of what “the experts” recommend? Consultant Kris Jennings has created exactly that by forging her own path:
How her “tiny, tiny” email list delivered over $1 million in revenue (and provides a vehicle to nurture key referral relationships).
How she thinks about and serves her list (hint: it’s exactly the opposite of what most every email marketer recommends).
What she does with advice from experts and “gurus”.
How she measures success—and how her metrics have changed as her business matures.
The evolution of her risk-taking philosophy in business—and what elements must be present for her to say an unqualified “yes”.

You’ve got a bookkeeper, a CPA, maybe even a CFO/strategic financial resource for your business—when and where does personal financial planning fit in? Advice-only financial planner and author Sean Mullaney walks us through financial planning for Soloists:
The types of financial advisors Soloists are likely to encounter—how they work and are compensated (and why that matters).
The signs that tell Soloists you’ll likely get value from engaging a personal financial advisor.
How to get started and identify potential planners that will meet your needs (and why geography just doesn’t matter anymore).
One key question to ask any financial advisor candidate to assess whether they might be a fit.
Why a Solo 401(k) often beats a SEP IRA for tax-advantaged retirement savings.

None of us are immune to transitions—it’s just that they seem start piling up at “mid-life”. Olympic gold medalist and performance coach Joe Jacobi shares his story and how you too can navigate resistance and uncertainty to pursue purpose, performance and impact:
What working as part of a two-person boat teaches you about collaboration (and it’s probably not what you think).
Why sometimes winning comes down to making fewer mistakes than your peers—and correcting them more quickly.
How focusing on the unique ways your experiences and expertise can help others will magnify your impact.
Learning to appreciate where you are “in the river” and navigate toward what you value most.
When seeking alliances as a Soloist can provide more opportunities for fruitful collaboration.

A quick Amazon search shows over 50,000 productivity titles—probably because as a society, we are obsessed with being productive. But what does productivity look like for Soloists?
My theory—and I’m curious for your experience—is that many Soloists approach productivity a bit differently:
My own (positive) experience with the classic Getting Things Done—and what seemed missing for Soloists (hint: joy + impact).
What happens when you lighten your cognitive load in organizing your work and life.
How some contemporary productivity books, especially Slow Productivity (Cal Newport) and 4,000 Weeks (Oliver Burkeman) are addressing a non-hustle and deeply satisfying way to work.
Why slow is often better than fast and less can be more.
The role of hitting your “enough” goal consistently in re-thinking how you want to work.
