The Soloist Life Rochelle Moulton

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.

When you’re focused on building a $100 million business with a co-founder, what could possibly make you peel off to become a Soloist? Consultant Rob Fegan shares how he pivoted from his first business to a highly profitable (and life-enhancing) Soloist consulting practice:
Why he transitioned from co-founding and growing their potentially $100 million business to become a Soloist.
The value of experimenting and failing—or succeeding—fast.
How he 5x’ed his prices in a single quarter by focusing on the value he was delivering to his ideal clients.
When to shoot for big leaps vs. incremental growth (and why you don’t necessarily need a big audience to build a 6-7 figure Soloist business).
How a failed experiment convinced him to double-down on his genius zone.

That first year after leaving corporate life can be tricky—do you say yes to most every opportunity or niche immediately and start saying no? Strategic communicator Jacqui Miller aced (by any measure) her first year as a Soloist and describes how she made it happen:
The surprising first thing she did when leaving her corporate job to start her expertise business.
Why she made the decision to niche right away—and then continued to niche down even more.
How she decides which clients to take on and which to refer (and why she’s a big believer in creating a circle of complementary professionals).
What to do when you hit an inflection point in your career/business where you’re “not practicing at the top of your license”.
The communication strategies that expanded her impact and relationships.
