My speed isn't THAT fast. You sound about as fast as me, which is okay. Reason I asked that question, however, is because the faster you are, the more people will want to learn it, because you get to prove it to them.

(And they have so much fun, because it only takes you a little bit to get to know them and talk about their favorite book(s). )

And as for what's more beneficial:if you can't afford the seminar, but CAN afford the personal learning course, I would recommend getting to know the course, and then after you know it piece by piece, walk him through it. Teach him a little bit at a time, and let him use a little bit of it at a time. Then, once you've taught the entire system, let him have all of the stuff for future reference.

And as I was saying:

When teaching activation, be very clear. I feel that the PhotoReading book could have done a better job with those chapters on Activation and Rapid Reading myself. . .which may be why I had a hard time on getting the concepts down originally.

Also be sure to emphasize the difference between Rapid Reading, and activation. Also explain some different ways to use the final step, having to do with the whole "slow down on some parts, but speed up on others."


Remember to also emphasize on PURPOSE. Purpose is very important. When the story on PhotoReading appeared on the Channel 9 news of a Minneapolis station(free video), Paul and the news reporter talk about purpose more there than they do in the book.

Before doing the PhotoReading step, have him enter the accelerative learning state and say stuff to himself - and once again: BELIEVE it, things like:

"All that I photoread will leave a last impression, and be available to me."

As for your own speed foneguy - just remember that mental obstacles. . .they only exist mentally. And that's only if you want them to. Just know and feel yourself getting better and better, and faster and faster with the system everytime. Don't push it. It will happen and occur naturally, without effort.

Good luck,
