As we close out 2024 (and Season 3 of The Soloist Life), it feels like the right time to revisit how we can best bring our light to the people we most want to serve:
Why now is the time to lean into your personal genius.
What I’m committing to for 2025 😉.
What exactly is a re*shift (and why might you be ready for one)?
The eight areas of life and work that you can custom blend to create your uniquely rich life.
Wishing you a happy holiday season and a joyous, healthy and prosperous 2025!

I've helped create millions of dollars in value for clients as a soloist, never mind the tens of millions I built as a partner in big firms where I led a variety of businesses. But in this new world, excellent isn't good enough. We each need to burrow into our personal genius, serving the people who matter most to you in ways only you can do. Hello, hello. Welcome to the Soloist Life podcast, where we're all about turning your expertise into wealth and impact. I'm Rochelle Moulton, and today I'm recording this special episode, the last to close out season 3, a little over a month after the US election results.

I'm not gonna lie, It pains me to know that slightly over half of my country's voters have glommed on to a dark, dark vision for the future. It's not even remotely aligned with what I stand for, and yet this is where we are right now. But we soloists still have choices. We have agency. We do not have to accept these attitudes or work within their confines. Instead, we can choose differently. We can choose to operate in a positive, hopeful way, bringing our light to the people we most want to serve. I've been thinking about this quite a bit, even before the election, as I saw some extreme behaviors, and I feel it even more strongly now.
Rochelle Moulton
01:33 - 02:10
It all comes down to your personal genius. How can you best use your highest talents and skills to help the people you most wanna serve? For example, my work has been focused on helping soloist consultants break through their revenue plateaus. And that's because I'm really, really good at building expertise businesses. In fact, without false modesty, I'm excellent at that. And pieces of that work are in my genius zone. I've helped create millions of dollars in value for clients as a soloist, nevermind the tens of millions I built as a partner in big firms where I led a variety of businesses.

But in this new world, excellent isn't good enough. We each need to burrow into our personal genius, serving the people who matter most to you in ways only you can do. Now rest assured, I will be walking my talk. I've decided to more fully embrace my own genius moving forward. And that genius is around helping entrepreneurs navigate transitions, the kind where you're recalibrating your life and your work, or what I'm calling re-shifts. Now, my guests here on this podcast have actually talked a lot about their reshifts. Reshifts are what begins to percolate when you start asking, what's next for me in my life and my business?
Rochelle Moulton
03:00 - 03:38
You start pointing toward your next transition. You want to know how to keep doing meaningful work as you shift up or shift down in the amount of time you want to spend in your business or the impact you want to make with your life. You want to know how to keep a certain amount of revenue flowing, even as you explore other aspects of your professional and personal interests. You want to double down on impacting the people in your public and private lives who you care most about. You want to live a life of meaning and be the braver, bolder hero of your own life.
Rochelle Moulton
03:38 - 04:24
You may even start thinking about legacy. What do you want to leave behind for your people when you no longer want to do this? And all of this means that you want to spend as much time as humanly possible in your genius zone. You want to create that continuous upward spiral that business and life can be if you allow yourself to shift, to change, to experiment, to discover what's right for you in your next chapter. Now, I've midwifed so many of my one-to-one clients through these transitions that I've developed a framework that walks soloists and expertise entrepreneurs through a thoughtful process of evaluating where and how you want to go next in your business and your life, your reshift, if you will.
Rochelle Moulton
04:25 - 04:57
This framework, we think of it as the reshift roadmap, is built on 8 factors that I've come to believe are the basis of a rich life, especially for us as entrepreneurs. And let me give you a quick overview so you can see what I'm talking about. We'll start with craft. How well does your business reflect your personal genius? Are you doing your best work there? Money, do you have enough, and that's in quotes if you couldn't catch that, or are you planning to earn more? How much more do you want to live the life you've imagined?

04:58 - 05:43
Impact, are you Contributing to others in a way that makes you feel good about your interaction. Are you impacting your people in a way that's meaningful to you? Growth. Are you stretching yourself personally and professionally? What adventures are you still seeking for your life? Community. Are you part of a vibrant set of communities where you're a vital contributor? Where do you most want to engage? Health. Is your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health where you want it to be. How does this play out in your next chapter? Relationships. Do you have a small circle of close relationships where you can be yourself and are freely accepted?
Rochelle Moulton
05:44 - 06:31
How often are you investing in those relationships? And then last but not least, home. Is your physical space and your daily or family life set up for your optimal health and happiness? What tweaks or overhauls would improve your life? Now, your vision of what each 1 of these looks like for you and how they ideally tie together in your life is unique. They form the basis of your one-of-a-kind version of a rich life, and no 1 else can tell you what they should be. How do you figure out your unique roadmap? So my research has uncovered precious few resources for entrepreneurs to rethink your next chapter in a way that incorporates both your life and your business.

And even fewer where you get to rub shoulders with others going through the same experience. I want to help. So as a first step, you may have noticed I've started writing about this in my weekly emails. And I've been sharing both there and here on this podcast how we entrepreneurs can and are recalibrating our lives and businesses. Now, where that goes next depends on you. If you're not already on my list, you can start by signing up for my emails, and there's a link in the show notes for that. And you're welcome to drop me an email at rm at rochellemoulton.com with your thoughts.

If you're thinking you might like to join a group of soloists actively re-shifting, tell me that too. I'll be weaving this idea into this podcast even more. So stay tuned on that. In the meantime, thank you. Thank you for closing out season number 3 of The Soloist Life with me. I'm wishing you a very happy holiday season and a joyous, healthy and prosperous new year. Bye-bye.
