Stuart
B, Nonprofit
Executive
"Thank
you so much for this last year of coaching.
Thanks to you I now have the
job of my dreams, finally, at age 59!
At the close of our year together,
I was offered the position of President of
the Foundation for Free Enterprise.
This, after one year of struggling
to deal with trying to make a living
at things that I was only marginally interested
in.
You kept me in touch
with who I was, who I wanted to be and how
I wanted to live my life.
I
kept at it thanks to you."

Lorraine
G, e-Commerce
Consultant and Webmaster
"Thank
you for being such a good PROVOCATIVE LISTENER.
You asked me just the right questions at just
the right moments - and you drew me out and
got me talking and saying things I didn't
even know I was thinking. I must say that
just talking to you became an adventure in
self-discovery. Many thanks."

Bill
R, Marketing
Director, Musician, Real Estate Investor
"Since
I began my coaching sessions with Stuart,
I've been consistently moving forward. More
importantly, I'm moving towards the goals
that are most important to me. I tend to be
a bit of an overachiever, and I love variety,
so I get my hands and brain into lots of different
things. Stuart really helps me stay focused.
In his gentle, firm, insightful way, he helps
guide me toward the goals that really feel
right to me. We sometimes change our focus
and make adjustments, but only in response
to feedback from myself that Stuart has helped
elicit, and which I often didn't listen to
until he helped me find it! It's obvious that
he loves working with people, and his passion
for self-improvement, a strong family, ever-deepening
spirituality, and an exceptional life makes
every session a joy. Thanks, Stuart!"

Larry
O, Project
Manager
"Stuart
helped me sort through the mush and get right
down to brass tacks.He has an easy going way
that leads one to directly hone in on what
is important and to work with a person to
arrive at solutions and options. It is fun
and informative having Stuart as a personal
coach. He is very knowledgeable and cuts to
the chase. I have definitely benefited
from having Stuart coach me. It has been a
valuable experience".

Christopher A,
Financial
Advisor
"I
met Stuart in 2004 and scheduled a visit
aiming to improve how I run my practice. In
a short span Stuart helped me identify things
that were impediments to achieving the level
of success I aim for, particularly negative
behaviors I unwittingly allowed to become
habits. As a result, my goals are clearer,
my attitude and confidence is renewed, and
I am grateful for his sage counsel."

Alex
S, Professional
Musician
"Stuart's
guidance and insight really helped me determine
my priorities and create an action plan for
success. He has the ability to effectively
reflect my issues back to me in ways that
make them much more clear, so that in the
end, I am able to answer many of my own questions.
His approach is thoughtful, supportive, non-intimidating,
and conducive to growth. Thanks Stuart!"

Mike
K, Career Seeker
"Let
me just start off by saying that my coach
and the SuccessTracs coaching program have
made a huge difference in my life. My coach,
Stuart
Kaufman,
has guided me to success in many areas of
my life. When I started the SuccessTracs coaching
program I had a goal of transitioning to a
career that was more fulfilling and that would
allow me to make money doing something that
I love. With Stuart’s patience and commitment
to my goals, I am successfully designing a
career that utilizes my natural talents and
desires. My coach helped me outline a vision
for my ideal career, create a career transition
action plan and track progress towards my
career transition goals.
With
the help of Stuart, I was also able to gain
the courage to solicit feedback from friends,
family and peers to gain insight into my natural
talents and strengths. This process was very
helpful because I gained valuable insight
on strengths that I was not aware that I had
while gaining clarity and confirmation on
other strengths that I knew I possessed. As
a result of this process I have identified
three distinct career fields that intrigue
me based on my skills, talents and interests
and I am gaining tremendous insight by performing
exploration interviews with people in these
areas. I have completed over 20 of these interviews
and will be narrowing my focus to one specific
career area within the next two weeks.
I
am so excited to be on this path. This process
has been possible because of Stuart’s ability
to keep me focused on my personal and professional
objectives. He has helped me to understand
that whatever outcome happens is the right
one for me and to not be attached to any specific
outcome. This has given me a tremendous amount
of peace and clarity.
As
a result of coaching and using the Tracker
I have also achieved results in many other
areas of my life. I recently started meditating
every morning which has given me a tremendous
burst of energy and focus in my life. I am
also more focused on my health and exercise
habits and I have run five 5K races and one
10K race since starting my SuccessTracs coaching.
I had never run a race prior to this.
I
have improved my relationships with my wife,
family and friends by being more open and
honest with them and I have gained many new
and empowering friends as a result.
I
am also moving closer to my financial goals
by working with my coach to create an investment
education plan. I study something from this
plan a minimum of 30 minutes a day and I have
doubled my passive income through real estate
to $660 per month. This is an extra $4,000
per year that I am going to put to use creating
even more passive income. I have also improved
my investment returns in other areas as a
result of my commitment to learning a little
bit more each day.
Stuart
has helped me to identify specific desired
outcomes, realize a purpose and develop a
plan of action to create an amazing life and
career. Our coaching sessions are always targeted
to my specific needs and have a clear purpose
and outcome. I am very excited about the results
that I have been able to achieve after just
a few months of working with my coach and
the SuccessTracs program. Thank you Stuart
for being a great coach!”

Steve
F, Stock Trader
"I
wanted to take this opportunity to thank you
for the outstanding job you have done in coaching
me. I approached you several months ago to
explore whether I should hire you to assist
me in multiplying the success of my business
– trading stocks from my office at home. If
I had only known how successful your coaching
would turn out to be, I would have hired you
three years ago when I started.
I
have seen extraordinarily good results in
my work since you started coaching me, approximately
50% more income than I would have had without
the coaching, by my best estimate. Two aspects
of what we have done together were the keys
to my success.
First,
you took me through a structured and professional
review of my goals and objectives for my business
activities. Before we started working together,
I was dissipating too much energy worrying
if I was in the right business, and wondering
how to figure out if I should be doing something
else. We quickly addressed that issue, which
gave me a wonderful opportunity to focus on
my work.
Second,
we worked together to identify what I could
do that would have the greatest impact in
producing successful results. We honed in
on one area that has made a great difference
in my monthly income: a structured nightly
planning session for the next day’s work.
In two and a half years in this business,
I had done that only a handful of times, because
of lack of focus and a desire to “do more
research” every night, instead of pulling
my research together in a focused way. What
I have found is that taking the time at the
end of each day to prepare a brief formal,
written plan for the next day is the best
thing that I can do to improve my results.
Your assistance in developing this insight
and in building up the self-discipline to
stick with it has been wonderful.
My
current plan is to continue with the coaching,
for one simple reason. It works.
Thanks,
Stuart, for being so good at what you do.”

Tonya
E, Administrative
Manager
"Having
someone from the outside look at your
situation is fantastic. Stuart is able
to objectively provide you with coaching that
ensures that "you" are able to make the best
of all situations. Learning and growing
is all part of his style of coaching.”
-------------------------------------------------------
Jory
K, Small
Business Owner
“Stuart
has been instrumental in the forward progress
of my business. We've worked together on developing
my goals, and have analyzed what things are
holding me back. He helps keep me focused
on these goals rather than using a "problem
solving" approach. This perspective has been
very valuable to me; it is energizing and
it helps me feel creative and empowered. I
don't so much ask Stuart for solutions to
my problems, rather, he helps me originate
my own strategies to keep moving along on
the road of success.”
-------------------------------------------------------
Ralph
K, Project Manager
and Author
“I
recently had the good fortune to use Stuart's
services which immediately paid for itself.
Not only did he help me crystallize my thoughts
but he also enabled me to develop a meaningful
action plan to get the results I desire. Thanks
again, Stuart.”
-------------------------------------------------------
Celeste
E, Hospital
Services Manager
"I
found working with Stuart helpful to clarify
what I really wanted. He thoughtfully helped
me determine the steps to get there, and most
importantly, creatively deal with whatever
barriers had stopped me before, and take that
first critical step.”
-------------------------------------------------------
Rick
B, Hospital Manager
"I
am very satisfied and thankful for the experience
of working with Stuart in this capacity. I
grew a tremendous amount. Stuart helped me
focus on developing my time management, communication
and delegation skills. He supported me in
developing a process that I use to hold my
staff accountable for projects they are assigned.
Stuart also helped me move out of my comfort
zone, and he created a space where it was
safe to "try on" new ideas. I feel more confident
managing my staff as a result of working with
Stuart."

Alan
Y,
Medical Office Manager
“I
wanted to say that my work with Stuart has
opened my flood gates. Just asking a few key
questions, and the request to answer them,
has helped me to move forward and become unstuck.
Several months ago I found myself dissatisfied
and unsure of my direction. A midlife crisis
for sure. But with Stuart's help, his great
wisdom and determination for success I was
able to gain my footing again. The changes
I've made were simple but profound, I am enjoying
my personal and professional life much more
and that is all I was asking for. Thanks Stuart.”
