The Gunslinger  ·  Private counsel with Zan Perrion

An empty road at dusk
Your personal gunslinger for hire

He rides in, sees what you cannot, and is gone before the dust settles

There is a problem. You bring it to me. I see what you cannot. I fix what can be fixed. Then I leave.

One month of my full attention on one situation. Not therapy. Not coaching toward excellence. A specific problem, taken apart and put right.

One month · One situation · $10,000

Tell me the situation

If you are reading this, something has gone wrong

There are millions of women in the world. But only two, maybe three, will ever truly stop you in your tracks.

And when she does — when that woman walks into your life — you know it instantly. The way she moves. The way she looks at you. The electricity when your hands touch.

The way your entire world rearranges itself around her presence.

Which is why, when something goes wrong, even the most capable man can find himself doing the exact opposite of what would restore harmony with her.

And thus begins the late-night analysis, the pacing, the second-guessing, the schemes and plans that you think of and then discard.

Understand what you are actually up against here. It is not her. She is not the problem. The problem is that you are standing in the middle of the room, and nobody can read a room they are standing in the middle of.

One of these is probably yours

  • You’ve met someone extraordinary, and you don’t know what you should do or say.
  • She is slowly pulling away from you, and you cannot see why.
  • Your relationship is unravelling, falling apart in front of your eyes, and nothing you try is holding it together.
  • It ended without warning, and the reasons you were given do not match what you observed. Or you were given no reason at all.
  • Nothing is wrong at all, and that is the problem — whatever was between you has slipped away and gone somewhere else.

Each of these has a different answer, and the wrong answer applied at the wrong moment only makes things worse. That is what most men do next. And that is why you don’t guess.

What a month with me actually involves

This is not therapy, and it is not coaching toward excellence. It is one situation, taken apart and put right, over thirty days.

The whole picture, first

I want all of it. Her words, in the order she said them. The timing. What you did next, and what you were feeling when you did it. Most men hand me the summary. I need the details. The summary is where the problem is hiding.

What she is thinking

I will tell you what is happening on her side of this, based on twenty-five years of seeing how these things actually unfold. It is rarely what you think it is, and almost never as bad as it seems at three in the morning.

What to do — and what to stop doing

You will get a plan for your situation: what to say, when, and in what order. The larger half of it is usually what to stop doing. Nearly every man in trouble is working hard at something that is actively making it worse.

Thirty days of direct access

You have me by message and by call for the month. These things move quickly, and a plan made on Monday often needs adjusting by Thursday evening. Something happens, you bring it to me, and we decide what to do next.

Why it works, not just what to do

I would rather you understood the principle than followed the instruction. A man with only the instruction is back here in two years with somebody else, asking the same question in a different accent.

And then I am gone

At the end of the month, it ends. That is deliberate. You are not acquiring a permanent advisor — you are solving one thing and getting your own judgement back, which is the entire point of calling someone like me.

On the absence of testimonials

You will find no client words anywhere on this page

Every other page of this kind carries three men in boxes, first names and professions, explaining how their situation was resolved. You will not find them here.

Men come to me with things they have not told their closest friend. Many of them advise other men for a living. If any of what they told me turned up on a page like this one, none of them would have contacted me in the first place.

And neither would you.

What you can verify is public and permanent: twenty-five years of it, a book anyone can buy, several hundred hours of me thinking out loud on video, and a great many people who have been in a room with me. Search my name. It is all there.

The rest stays between us.

This is not a policy of discretion. It is what you are paying for.

The terms, plainly

Term
One month
Scope
One situation
Fee
$10,000

I only take a small number of private clients each year. The month is paid in full at the start.

I cannot promise you an outcome, and I will not pretend otherwise. What I can promise is that you will stop guessing.

Nobody can guarantee another person’s choices, and any man who tells you he can is selling you something.

What I can tell you is that I will understand the situation. I will tell you what I see. I will tell you what to do. I will be there while it unfolds.

And then you will have your judgement back.

I take on only a few private clients. Here is who they are.

Write to me if

  • There is one situation, and you can describe it to me in a paragraph.
  • You would rather be told the truth than be reassured, including when the truth is that you caused this.
  • You will act on what I tell you — including doing nothing at all, which is frequently the instruction.
  • You are comfortable making a $10,000 decision when the situation warrants it.

Do not write to me if

  • You want her back at any cost and are not interested in why she went. I will not help you with that, and it would not work.
  • What you are carrying is grief, or depression, or something a good therapist should be helping you with. I am not that, and I will say so.
  • You are looking for something to use on a woman who has asked you to leave her alone.
  • You want someone permanently on call. This ends after a month, by design.

Timing matters. In situations like these a week can change everything, and the right move made today can be very different from the right move made next week.

This work depends on attention, and attention cannot be scaled. That is the whole reason the number stays small.
