Welcome to The 7% Solution, I’m John Ryan.
My purpose for this site and everything I do is to empower you with the tools and techniques that you can use to create greater success in every area of your life. Sounds like a tall order, I know, but together, I’m confident we can do it.
My area of expertise is success and achievement. For over a decade I’ve been studying, researching, and working with top performers in a variety of fields, constantly looking for the difference that makes the difference. And what I’ve found is that success is not an accident. There are specific ways that top performers think, communicate, and behave that enables them to become the best of the best.
And here’s the good news!
It is completely teachable. Once you learn the components, it is just a matter of applying the principles in your own life.
You may have heard the idea that if you know how someone did something, you can reproduce their results by taking the same steps. It’s an attractive idea and to some extent it’s true, but if you’ve ever put this into practice, you know that something is often missing. Why is that?
People who are great at something often don’t know why they’re great at it.
This is often a byproduct of mastery. They don’t know how they do it; they just do it. And that’s why duplicating other people’s actions doesn’t work. It is not just about their actions, it is about their entire process! And that is what I teach through The 7% Solution and the Kinetic Success Model. What is the difference that makes the difference in business and in life?
My Story
I attended my first personal growth seminar in the mid 90′s. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be involved in transforming lives and everything I’ve done since that weekend has been along that path.
But like most worthy paths, there were obstacles to overcome. Before I made that decision about my career, I was on the path to enter into the family business, something I had been groomed for my entire life. Instead, I had to follow my own dream and start my own business. As a result of that decision I was disowned.
I was devastated.
For me, my family was everything and I thought that as long as I had their support, I could do anything. But what I had never thought about was what would happen if that support was taken away. Needless to say, my self-confidence was destroyed. And I experienced first-hand how important self-confidence is for success.
And I struggled for a long time until I realized my real problem. The real problem I had was that I had based my self-worth on the opinion of someone else. Self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth truly only come from one place…yourself. And once I figured that out, then I was able to pick myself off the ground and rebuild my life in the way that I envisioned it, rather than following someone else’s vision for me.
And that is one of the biggest lessons that I’ve learned and get to share with others is that success is an inside job. It all starts within. You can take the same actions, you can say the same words, but if you don’t have your inner game up to par, it will always fall short of what it could have been.
My family and I have since reconciled and I am quite thankful for having taken the road less traveled, even as challenging as it had been.
As a result, I now have the privilege of working with countless individuals and organizations to improve their effectiveness and achieve greater success and achievement.
The 7% Solution
The 7% Solution is a philosophy, it is the study of what the top 7% of performers do that the other 93% don’t. From this philosophy emerges the Kinetic Success Model. Which has three part: Psychonetics (what you think), Humanetics (how you communicate) and Actionetics (what you do). Combined, these three pieces are the fundamentals of success.
