Your 150-Person Advantage + A Smarter Workday Blueprint

Hello ,
​
​Your Career’s Next Chapter Starts with Who You Know
​
​
At sixty, your decades of relationships and hard-won wisdom aren’t just memories—they’re a powerful foundation for launching a sustainable, fulfilling solo venture.

In Wisepreneurs Podcast episode #71, out Friday, 20 June, feminist and work-revolution thinker Laetitia Vitaud returns for her third appearance to share a vital truth:

“The most important asset to start a business isn’t cash—it’s the 150 relationships you’ve nurtured your whole life.”

Those connections, she argues, trump startup capital every time.

Laetitia’s insights don’t stop there

She advocates for a seasonal approach to work—aligning your energy with natural rhythms instead of chasing relentless productivity.

Plus, she reveals why experienced professionals like you have an edge with AI: your critical thinking, honed over years, makes you better at prompting and challenging AI tools than younger, less-experienced users. Trust me on this one.

With newfound autonomy, your 150 trusted relationships, your ability to work in seasonal rhythms, and your decades-honed professional judgment are your greatest strengths for thriving in today’s economy.

These ideas align perfectly with my new blog post, The Wisepreneur’s Blueprint: How to Design a Sustainable Workday for Cognitive Vitality

It provides a practical guide to offloading mental clutter into a “second brain” and using simple tools—like keyboard shortcuts, TextExpander, or Grammarly—to sharpen your writing and boost cognitive productivity, saving hours each month.

Together, Laetitia’s human-first wisdom and the Blueprint’s tech-smart suggestions form a playbook for thriving in today’s knowledge economy.

Try This Three-Step Micro-Sprint

  1. Rekindle One Connection: Open your contacts, choose someone you admire or whose work complements yours, and send a quick two-line voice note. Nurturing your 150 trusted relationships builds a foundation for lifelong success.
  2. Build a Brain Shortcut: Save a frequently used email response or text snippet into a tool like TextExpander. One keystroke replaces ten minutes of typing.
  3. Plan a Seasonal Reset: Scan your calendar for the next quarter and block one lighter week for rest or deep thinking—Laetitia’s antidote to burnout.

Wellness Resource Worth Noting​
For sustainable work, physical health matters too. Check out The Genius Life podcast episode with Dr. Sara Reardon, a pelvic-health physiotherapist and author of Floored. She shares simple, evidence-based core-strength exercises to boost pelvic health and stability—practical advice for any stage of life.
