It is my pleasure to provide to you my experience of Neothink.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the work ahead of me, I am excited by the future and know that I have the structure and tools to reach my goals.

Mark Hamilton, it is my pleasure to provide to you my experience of Neothink.

I have been a voracious reader of the Neothink literature, and it has helped both refine my philosophy and improve my productivity. The “mini-day” concept has been enthusiastically embraced in my business, and it has allowed me to move forward in many areas in which I was previously stalled, such as bookkeeping, correspondence, risk management, and balancing customer service and marketing activities. In fact, with the disciplined application of this concept alone, my business is now moving forward at an accelerating pace, and I have massively increased my productive capacity.

Integrated thinking allows me to clearly see interrelated aspects of my business and map a strategy for controlled, sustainable growth. Recently, I experienced an epiphany which has enabled me to see how the systems and marketing aspects can combine to produce a scalable, rapidly growing business. In the past, it would have been a struggle to translate the strategy into action, but Neothink has provided me the tools to make this happen. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the work ahead of me, I am excited by the future and know that I have the structure and tools to reach my goals.

Despite making it to executive management, I left the corporate world several years ago, knowing it was not for me, and feeling a great sense of frustration and dissatisfaction with my working life. With the discovery of Neothink, I now understand what was most frustrating: firstly, it was the laziness and dishonesty of many of the employees; secondly, it was the narrow and linear thinking that pervaded the workplace.

I considered myself a “systems thinker,” seeing a bigger, more connected picture. I used to think this was a potential weakness, since I could articulate a strategy and people would have no idea what I was talking about. With Neothink, I now understand that it was because I was joining concepts into an integrated whole. Most people could not follow my thinking, and at the time I lacked the tools to understand why, or to guide people to a better understanding of my ideas.

It is my pleasure to be a part of the Neothink Society, and I look forward to a prosperous and productive future.

Sincerely,
John West
