Applied Ontology Methods · The Body of Work
Eight Methods. One operating system.
Eight Applied Ontology Methods for how leaders decide, sell, lead, spend time, keep promises, build brand, and perform. Not disconnected programs — one system.
The Distinction
Most Methods tell you what to do. RothMethods upgrades how you operate.
A better script, calendar, or sales process can help — but if the operating pattern underneath stays the same, the problem returns.
You still avoid conversations.
You still dilute the messages.
You still sell from agenda instead of trust.
RothMethods works underneath the tactic — at the level Paul Roth calls Being. Not philosophy. The source code beneath performance.
Conversations
Real discussions, recorded and live, that go deeper than surface-level strategy.

The Architecture
Being. Doing. Having.
Every Method works through the same architecture. Upgrade how you operate, and performance reorganizes.
Being
How you operate before action begins.
Doing
The decisions, conversations, and promises that follow.
Having
The results, trust, and revenue you produce.

The Eight Methods
Separate doors. One operating system.
Each Method stands on its own — but they're strongest as one body of work.
01
BDM
Blindspot Discovery Method
Not the pattern you can see, the one you can't.
The entry point. Makes visible the hidden patterns shaping how you decide, react, sell, lead, and become known — patterns that keep running even after years of insight.
Best for leaders who
Can see the pattern but still stop at the same threshold.
Have done the work but still feel constrained underneath.
Need a starting point before the other Methods.
02
ASM
Advisory Selling Method
Transform selling into a trust-based conversation.
Selling becomes pressure, performance, or self-promotion when it's disconnected from truth. This Method restores it as a structured, advisory conversation.
Best for leaders who
Need to sell a vision, offer, or transformation. Resist selling because it feels like pressure. Want commitment instead of compliance.
03
CLM
Collaborative Leadership Method
Lead from shared commitment, not positional authority.
Most leadership problems aren't positional — they're relational. This Method builds trust and shared commitment across every team and conversation you're responsible for.
Best for leaders who
Lead teams where compliance has replaced commitment.
Need leadership that generates trust, not just authority.
Are moving into a new level of responsibility.
04
BPM
Brand Positioning Method
Speaking a reality into existence that others echo.
Brand isn't marketing — it's what people say about you once you've left the room. This Method makes your reality precise enough for others to repeat it.
Best for leaders who
Have a reality only they can articulate.
Want their brand recognized without explaining it.
Are ready to let the work speak for itself.
05
GGM
Game Generation Method
Define a game worth playing and worth winning.
Most people work hard inside games they never chose. This Method defines the next level as one rooted in aspiration, contribution, and consequence.
Best for leaders who
Can feel the next level but haven't generated it.
Are outgrowing an old business, role, or identity.
Want the work to matter more, not just succeed more.
06
tnm
Time Navigation Method
Stop managing time. Start navigating commitment.
Time management assumes the problem is your calendar. It's usually not. This Method turns the week from a battlefield of recovery into committed movement.
Best for leaders who
Are constantly busy but not always moving what matters.
Let urgency override commitment.
Need a new relationship to priorities and promises.
07
AMM
Accountability Management Method
Turn promises into power.
Accountability isn't pressure or surveillance — it's the managed expression of commitment. This Method makes promises visible, reliable, and alive.
Best for leaders who
Make promises that are not consistently lived.
Need follow-through without fear-based management.
Want commitment instead of compliance.
08
MPM
Maximizing Performance Method
Moving from a saftey zone of results into a whole new reality,
Most performance work stops at incremental gains. This Method confronts the discomfort of producing far beyond what's felt possible — and makes that level sustainable.
Best for leaders who
Have plateaued inside a comfortable ceiling.
Want results beyond what they've let themselves imagine.
Are ready to trade safety for a bigger result.

Methods vs. Programs
The Methods are the IP. The Programs are how you engage with the work.
The Methods define the RothMethods body of work. The Programs apply that work to a specific challenge.
Start here to understand the architecture. Go to Programs to find the right path in.
