Are You Tired of Feeling
Stuck or Failing to Live up
to Your True Potential?

"This Cutting-Edge Breakthrough
Will Transform Your Professional Career
And Every Aspect of Your Life"


From the Desk of Jeffrey Putnam

Do you ever wonder why you do what you do, why you believe what you believe, how your thinking is impacting your performace or why life can seem so hard?

Are you sick of settling for less than you want in your career and your life? Are you really serious about dramatically improving your performance and achieving rapid, measurable success?

If so, you're in the right place. If you're ready to take steps to get more of what you really want, please continue...

Most people want more time, more fun and more money. But they keep doing what doesn't work for them.

What I have for you on this page will help you gain the clarity you need to find more of the success and fulfillment that you really want and deserve.

Success, however you define it, is hard for most people. It's usually preceded by very hard work, a string of failures and numerous disappointing, mediocre results.

You may have noticed
that the actions of most people DO NOT lead to the outcomes they intended.

Most businesses fail. Most peoples' lives go sideways or in circles. You're probably tired. You've worked and worked.

You've listened to experts and given it your all. But here you are, still feeling stuck, not living up to your true potential.

Clarity is POWER!


Keep reading
if you'd like to get clear about how to stop this vicious cycle once and for all and start living a more fulfilling, successful life.

Whatever you're wanting, if you're not getting highly predictable results, you're clearly choosing actions that are a poor fit for you. I can promise you that simply trying harder is not the answer.

Neither is thinking smarter or asking others what's best for you.

Hi, My name is Jeff Putnam and I am a seasoned success coach.

After more than a 25 years of studying success and having personally coached hundred of professionals, one thing has become crystal clear.

Virtually All Problems Are Communication Problems.
I know what you’re thinking…

“Is he crazy? How could that be?”

Virtually all problems are rooted in communication. Most of the obstacles to success are due to your communication between you and you. No amount of advice will change that.

Your communication with yourself involves your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, the questions you ask, the tone of voice that you use when you express yourself and how you use your own body.

Odds are you spend less than five percent of your time improving your own internal communication and instead, put almost all of it on just doing things, staying busy.

When this happens (and it almost always does) the actions you choose won't be aligned with who you are.

You can't find yourself in what you do. What's best for you can only be found by knowing yourself. The answer isn't in your head either, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

You're probably really busy. But how productive are you? How often do your actions lead to the outcomes you intended?

While the most common advice is to, "try harder." Clearly, trying harder at what doesn't work will only keep you stuck longer.

Activity DOES NOT equal productivity
, plain and simple.

Success and fulfillment begins with selecting actions that are more aligned with who you really are; aligned with your unique style, personality and purpose.

The most successful people know themselves well. They know their strengths. They manage their weaknesses. And most importantly, they trust and act on their intuition.

You may have noticed

Many of the most successful people have prospered doing the opposite of popular trends. They create trends.

Herein lies the power…


They do it by trusting their gut. In fact, many great successes began by doing the exact opposite of what everyone else is doing.

You may have heard of the sitcom “Seinfeld” (who hasn't’t?). One episode literally revealed this hidden concept in plain sitefor you to see.

Of course, I'm not suggesting that you simply do the opposite of what you would normally do, but then again when has just “trying harder” worked out for you?

George's strategy wasn't really to follow his "instincts" as he said. It was to follow his thinking. His instincts were right on. Gut, instinct and intuition are all the same thing.

The most powerful use of the opposite is to look to your intuition as opposed to your intellect which you most likely follow now.

The trouble is with your own thinking, your communication with yourself.

So in a sense, the exact opposite approach may work better for you. Below is a list of common strategies that are proven NOT to work.

Notice how these strategies are all tied to how you think.

How many of them do you employ?

Try harder at what isn't working
Stick with situations and strategies you know deep down won't work
Delay happiness until after you achieve or do something else first
Ignore or dismiss your intuition in favor of your intellect
Try to do things perfectly or procrastinate on them
Pretend to be someone or something you're not
Analyze things to death, looking for the "right" things to do
Put the needs of everyone else above your own
Focus on doing things "right" instead of doing your "best"
See yourself as a victim of your circumstances or blame others
Cling to beliefs that keep you stuck
Believe thoughts that tell you you're inadequate
Listen to others who make you feel small
Seek the "right" or "smart" opportunities instead of those that are a match for you
Define yourself by your roles, your work or what others tell you
Put your attention outward and almost no attention on yourself
Read every self-help book, but never implement any of it
Major in minor actions that give you the "illusion" of progress
Focus mostly on overcoming your weaknesses instead of building your strengths
Think small so the disappointments won't be too upsetting
Focus on what doesn't work instead of asking what could work
Tell yourself the story about how hard it is to get what you want
Dwell on the past instead of what's possible
Skip the basics and neglect the fundamentals
Take life extremely serious instead of being curious about how it will work for you
Choose actions based on fear of loss or failure
Listen to others who are as stuck or more stuck than you are
Spend your time with people who are not happy themselves
Try to control circumstances or other people
Ask yourself questions that keep you stuck
Default to saying "no" more often than "yes"

That's a short list of common strategies used by most people. No wonder they're stuck. The opposite of any of those would be a huge step in the right direction. Can you see that?

The key to success and fulfillment lies with effective communication with yourself. The most successful people I know are very clear in their thinking.

Simply put, they know themselves.

They also understand their intellect is a tool, but that their intuition is far more useful. Learn to be more attentive to and act upon your gut response and you'll begin to find more success almost instantaneously.

Most people have learned to ignore their intuition. When they notice they're having an intuitive response, they discount it and instead look for a logical solution.

How aware are you of your intuition and what's really "best" for you?

Take The MindScan™ Now and Get Clear About What's Best For You
"Jeff introduced me to the Mind Scan profile which examines your decision making process. It only took around 20 minutes but it provides significant insight into your thought process. I have participated in other assessment tests and not received the kind of unique feedback I did with Mind Scan. Mind Scan will be very useful to me in working on my strengths and weaknesses to further my career."

Solutions
Give the Opposite a Try

So at this point you might be wondering how to know what's really "best" for you. How can you find the actions that are aligned with who you are, so you can begin to get more predictable results?

Yep, you guessed it right, with greater self-awareness.

The first step is to begin to pay more attention to yourself, to how you communicate with yourself. For once, start giving yourself permission to put yourself at the top of the to-do list.

This is a great "opposite" to what you've probably been doing. Most people put all their focus on the mechanics of life (the doing) and little attention on the being (who they are) and what's really "best" for them.

As I said, start asking yourself what's really "best" for you. Just keep asking. Don't worry about figuring out the answers.

I promise, what's best for you is what's best for others. Fill yourself up and you'll have more to give to everyone. You'll be more present, intuitive, creative, fulfilled and successful.

Secondly, having coached hundreds of professionals it has become clear that in order to get where you want to go, you must be clear about where you are.

If you want to get to Chicago, it would be a good idea to know if you're starting out from Miami or Los Angeles, right?

Clarity is POWER: The MindScan™

There is a breakthrough assessment tool like nothing you've ever experienced before. It's remarkable in its ability to help you figure out where you are, in your thinking. It's an online assessment called the MindScan™.

Developed by Dr. Robert S. Hartman (nominated for the Nobel Prize in Formal Axiology), the MindScan™ measures your thinking and is the only tool of its kind.

The MindScan™, while surprisingly short and simple, is remarkable in its ability to objectively measure your thoughts. Unlike other assessments, the MindScan™ doesn't categorize you or describe your personality.

Rather, it identifies your precise thought patterns to determine how your thinking is supporting or interfering you in your decision-making.

Let's face it. The actions you choose to take will determine the results you get.

Understanding your own thinking is the first step toward getting where you want to go.

The MindScan™ will help you see what your ego is up to.



Here's the final problem. As I mentioned earlier, it's often difficult to see your own issues. Even with a detailed report of your thinking, you have to interpret it.

Odds are, you won't be able to get the full value alone because your own thinking will inhibit your ability to see the report for what it really is. That's where I come in.

Great success coaching is not about giving advice. It's about helping you find what's "best" for you. A skilled coach will ask you carefully crafted questions and guide you through processes to help you find your "best."

I can't possibly know what's "best" for you. But I can help you stay focused so you can discover it for yourself. Help reviewing your MindScan™ profile is a great place to start.

Once you know how you really think and where you're strong
you'll begin to experience how easy it is to find what's "Best" for you.

When you choose to take the MindScan™ you'll be given an opportunity to experience an hour of one-on-one coaching with myself or my wife, Joy.

Joy and I met at a 17 day job interview in 2000 and were both subsequently hired as coaches for Tony Robbins. You may have heard of him.

In 2002 we starting our own coaching company and have been loving it ever since. While our style of coaching and what works best for us has expanded significantly from our time with Tony, we're deeply grateful for all he taught us back then.

After you take the MindScan™ one of us will review it with you in detail so you can see precisely how your thinking is impacting your performance, success and fulfillment.

You can't control your thinking, but you can learn to influence it and become deeply aware of who you are and what's "best" for you.

In addition, we'll help you develop an action plan so you can start getting more predictable results right away. Remember, we're not advice givers. But we are highly skilled at helping you live your best life.

But you must understand, the MindScan™ is reserved for growth-oriented professionals, serious about significant performance enhancement and Accelerated Vision Achievement.
This is not a toy.

If you're really ready to find out why you do what you do and to take steps to get more of what you really want, go with your gut and act now.

Do the Opposite – Take the MindScan™ and Focus on You

You should also understand that our time is extremely limited. Joy and I do not have the capacity to do hundreds of MindScan™ reviews and we already have many clients to support.

That said, we love what we do. Coaching is the "best" profession for us, which is why we've become so effective and successful.

While most of our clients come by referral, we each do a few MindScan™ reviews a week between calls with our existing clients. Hence this offer.

Great coaching does not have to be sold. So if you're worried about a hard sell during your MindScan™ review, let me put your mind at ease.

What's Really Best for You?

We simply ask you to ask yourself, "What's really best for me?" And then go with that.
We are very careful about who we select as clients and it's mostly a gut decision.

That said, it's always a pleasure to meet new people and help them understand how their thinking impacts their success.

Just know that when you choose to take the MindScan™ and schedule a private review session with one of us, you'll be treated with the highest respect and care.

We'll take you by the hand and carefully guide you to greater clarity about who you are and what's truly best for you.

Why You Do What You Do

It’s true that people don't care so much about what you do. They care why you do it.

We're coaches because it's who we are and nothing gives us more pleasure than helping others awaken to who they are and what's really possible for them.

As I said, we aren't big on advice. We're interested in what works, what's useful for you.

You might think of taking the MindScan™ as an opportunity to begin again. It's your chance to discover where you are and how to get to a life that is more fulfilling and meaningful to you.

A Risk-Free Opportunity to Gain Clarity

Your confidential MindScan™ review call will give you a chance to experience how a highly skilled success coach can help you find your way, without the stress of a high-pressure sales presentation.

You should also know that after a decade and nearly 500 MindScan™ review sessions we've had only one refund request.

Those who have experienced the MindScan™ and the confidential review session have universally found it to be a deeply satisfying, fun and productive experience.

Take a look at what others are saying about the MindScan™ and our professional coaching services:

"From our first meeting, I knew that Jeff was the one I would recommend as a C-Level Executive Coach. He used the Mind Scan as the foundation for our initial conversation. At first, I thought this '20 Minutes to Complete Assessment' was a pretty remarkable tool. Then, as I listened to Jeff's interpretation of my profile, I knew the greatest value of our meeting was his direct and insightful coaching skills. He is remarkably talented and I was able to apply some of his suggestions immediately - very powerful. I connected with him right away and will, with confidence, highly recommend him and the Mind Scan to other corporate officers and directors of human resources. Fantastic!"
~ Nancy Rudzek Executive Director, Human Resources, National Cattlemen's Beef Association

But don't worry. If you somehow have a different experience, we'll gladly give you a full refund, No questions asked. We want to support you as best we can and if this isn't everything you'd hoped, we'll be happy to refund your money.

Your Full MindScan™ Profile

After you take the MindScan™ you'll receive a 20-22 page report that details your degree of clarity in numerous dimensions of thinking as well as your attentiveness to each dimension.

In other words, the MindScan™ will pinpoint areas in which you tend to over focus as well as areas in which opportunities may be currently invisible to you.

There are amazing opportunities right in front of you that are perfectly aligned with who you are, but your thinking is keeping you from seeing them.

If you really want greater success and fulfillment, you must do the opposite of most people and start at the beginning. Start by gaining insight into how you think.

Take the MindScan™ when you have 10 to 20 minutes of uninterrupted time. You'll simply drag and drop two lists of words and phrases into order from best to worst.

When finished, you'll receive an email with a brief overview of your profile highlighting your top strengths and potential obstacles to your peak performance.

You'll Discover:

How you think
What you tend to over focus on
What you tend to miss altogether
What your greatest strengths are
What areas to avoid and leverage
How well you understand:
       Other people
       Yourself
       Practical situations
       Your roles
       Systems and structure
       Your direction

Your Confidential MindScan™ Review Session

The best part is the private phone session to review your profile and begin your journey toward CLARITY and achieve specific, measurable results. Clarity is POWER!

Once you've taken the MindScan™, Call Us and schedule your confidential session with one of us to review your profile and develop a plan to enhance your performance. We'll get you scheduled as soon as possible.

Note: We are seasoned professionals, each with 12+ years experience, specifically in the area of peak performance. Your private telephone review session will be deeply rewarding, productive and enjoyable.

If you're serious about breaking through barriers to greater success in your career and your life, there is nothing like the MindScan™ and a confidential review session with a seasoned coach to propel you forward.

During your review session you will:

Discover why you're stuck
Get clear about where to focus
Learn how to connect with your intuition
Identify what actions are aligned with you
Develop a better sense of what's best for you
Discover what actions will work for you
Understand yourself more clearly
Discover how your thinking is impacting your life
Understand what is driving you
Identify how you may be sabotaging yourself
Understand your communication with yourself
See how every area of your life will improve
            with better communication
Learn how to know the difference between
            what's "right" and what's really "best" for you
Learn how to get more predictable results
Recognize how you keep yourself stuck
Learn how to get yourself unstuck
Feel very clear about the "best" direction for you
And much more...

So here's your big chance. You can continue to do what you've always done, and expect the same results you've always gotten.

Or you can do the opposite. You can focus on your own communication and begin down a path toward greater clarity and self-awareness. I hope you'll choose the latter.

What's really "best" for you? Only you can know that the time is right, that this is what you need and that you should move forward.

I can't know it for you.

My only hope is that you listen to and trust your own answer.

It starts now.

It starts here.
