Solved in 7

Jim Sholler

We all have an inexhaustible supply of problems. Whether at work or at home, it’s only a matter of time before the next one is rudely thrust upon us.

Now, solve every problem with Jim Sholler’s Solved in 7

In this groundbreaking handbook to life, Sholler starts by identifying the four ineffective, risky behaviors that cause companies to bleed money, thousands of patients to die each year from misdiagnosis, and personal problems to linger without resolution.

Then, he offers a simple framework to replace these mistakes with a clear path to solve any problem FAST, from professional challenges to personal crises. Solved in 7 was put to the ultimate test when Sholler used it to determine the source of an extremely rare bleeding disorder—in just 7 minutes—after the best doctors in Boston failed to do so for thirteen years.

Jim Sholler is known as “The Fixer” for a reason.
With Solved in 7, you will be too.

Press & Praise

Pamela Norley, President, Fidelity Charitable

After Jim demonstrated the benefits of his framework, we asked him to tackle some of our biggest service and operations problems. The framework produced results immediately. Problems that were either unresolved or languishing due to workarounds were identified and eliminated. Training additional resources on the seven-step framework also positioned them to be efficient, effective, problem-resolution leaders. Solved in 7 presents this framework in a straightforward manner that will surely benefit those who embrace it.

Mike Bull, Head of Capture Services, Fidelity Investments
