FAILURE FACTOR
A big cause of failure today, on the job or in schoolwork is not a lack
of ambition or talent.
It is the inability to stay on top of the flow of information.
This is the Information Age. We get more information thrown at us in one
day, on the job or at school, than our grrandparents saw in a lifetime.
If we cannot increase the rate at which we absorb information, we are
seeing less and less of what is out there and increasing our risk of
failure.
There is a simple and effective solution with our 6 hour Dynamic Speed
Reading Seminar available in your town for groups of 15 or more.
Read on.
DYNAMIC SPEED READING SEMINAR
You will double your reading speed by the end of this exciting seminar
and you will increase your reading comprehension and reading pleasure!
You will read more in less time!
We get more printed information thrown at us in one day than our
great-grandparents saw in a lifetime. (Beyond a seed catalog and a book
or two, what did they have to look at and absorb?)
Today, information is coming at us from all directions. Books, memos,
homework, periodicals, emails, newspapers, reports, faxes, magazines,
the Internet, and more leave many buried, able to wade through just a
fraction of what they need to know. Do you happen to know anyone who has
a stack a stuff that they haven’t had time to go through? Maybe that’s
you.
Knowledge is power. This is the Information Age. Half of what we know
today, we didn’t know just fifteen years ago. The amount of information
has doubled just in the last fifteen years and some experts predict it
will be doubling again every two years.
Everyone has books on the shelf they’ve never read because they didn’t
have the time. Some even find reading a slow, laborious task because
they read slowly, their mind wanders, and they’re often having to go
back and re-read what they just read.
You cannot control the flow of information to you and if you don’t
increase the rate at which you read, you are seeing less and less of
what’s out there.
The average person spends about two hours per day reading at the rate of
about 200 words per minute. If you can double your reading speed, you
can cut your reading time in half. What takes two hours can now be done
in one hour.
An extra hour a day for you. Seven hours per week and 365 hours for you
over the next year. That’s the equivalent of nine additional workweeks
over the next year to spend time with your family or hobbies or work on
those important tasks that are being neglected.
Let’s look at this in terms of dollars and cents. If a person is making
$37,500 per year and is wasting just one hour per day, it is costing the
employer $4,687.50 per year in paid for, but lost productivity. This
does not include benefits (an additional $2,343.75), or overhead (an
additional $1,171.88) or profitability from that person’s wasted time
(an additional $4,687.50). One lost hour of productive time costs the
employer $12,890.63 per employee.
If a group of just eight employees can save just one hour per day, gain
one more hour of productive time, that’s the equivalent of adding on one
new staff person, without a salary, without benefits or overhead costs.
It can be done. Easily and with a lot of fun!
Don Wetmore, the country’s leading expert on Personal Productivity,
offers the most comprehensive Dynamic Speed Reading seminar anywhere. At
the end of our one-day, six-hour class, you and your participants will
double your reading speed and significantly increase your comprehension
level and reading pleasure.
Imagine reading a book in one sitting! Or reading those books you
bought, never read, and placed on the shelf. 95% of all the books
purchased are never read.
How about going home each night with all the paperwork done, with a
clean desk for the next day! What better way to insure your career
advancement and success?

The “Myths” About Dynamic Speed Reading
Speed Reading a just a “skimming technique”. Not true. You will read
significantly faster and read every word. You will learn how to
eliminate the blocks that slow you down.
Speed Reading requires a lot of formal education. Not true. Anyone with
a basic, primary reading ability can learn and apply Dynamic Speed
Reading tools to double their speed and comprehension.
Speed Reading will reduce my comprehension. Not true. In fact, it’s the
opposite. Increasing your reading speed will significantly increase your
comprehension and concentration. You will not only be able to read a lot
faster but you will be more effective.
Speed Reading requires a lot of study and practice. Not true. You will
learn simple, easy techniques and double your reading speed by the end
of this unique six-hour seminar. You get the results during the seminar
as you apply the new, easy techniques you will learn.
Speed Reading will not permanently change my reading speed. Not true.
Not only will you double your reading speed and significantly increase
your comprehension and reading pleasure by the end of your six-hour
Dynamic Speed Reading seminar, you will receive the easy tools to
permanently maintain your new skills and improve them in the weeks and
months after your seminar.
