"NOT ALL Readers are Leaders, but All Leaders are Readers" – Harry Truman

If you study top millionaires & billionaires from Larry Ellison to Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Ted Turner, Ross Perot, & the gamut, you’ll find they are readers..

In fact, Warren Buffet may be the best investor of "all-time"..

He spends most of his day reading.. He says in an 8-hour workday, he spends an hour or two trying to get out to meetings & then the other 6 hours reading..

Bill Gates & Warren Buffett were asked,

"if you could have 1 super-power, 1 magical power, -  what would it be..?"

Guess what they said..

Could you believe they both said it would be the ability to read faster than anyone in the world..!

For you to be able to read faster with more comprehension, it will give you

👉 more knowledge faster, &

👉 a competitive edge over everyone else, right..?

So let’s get to it..

There’s several ways to speed-read.. Some of these include -

🕵️ The Push Method..

🕵️ The Pull Method..

🕵️ Speed Skimming..


But the most effective system we’ve found is called the

🕵️ Gold-Mining System..

The idea is to read through the book 3 times.. Each time you read through it, focus on finding the gold nuggets, hence "gold-mining"..

Since most books only have a few gold nuggets, the publishers typically fill the rest with stories & "fluff".. Your objective is to skip the "fluff" & mine the golden nuggets in there..

👉 Let me give a quick illustration -

💥 Let’s base this example on a 230-page business book..

💦 First pass through the book -  (shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes)..

💦 Read the back cover..

💦 Read the table of contents..

💦 Read the introduction..

💦 Flip through entire book & read maybe a page from each chapter that catches your eye..

💦 Try to use this phase as a very high-level reading to catch main ideas & grasp understanding about what the book is actually about..

💥 Secondly, pass through the book - (shouldn’t take more than 15-20 minutes)..

💦 Read a couple pages from each chapter (it doesn’t have to be the first 1-2 pages because sometimes books start with stories or the fluff)..

💦 No rules, just skip around & read a couple pages from each chapter that provide you with the main point of each chapter..

💥 Third & final pass - (should take about 30 minutes)..

💦 Read the first sentence of each paragraph..

💦 It’s okay to skip some paragraphs..

💦 Last secret -  if someone were to quiz you on the book versus someone that read every single last word, it would be near impossible for the quizzer to tell the difference..!

That’s it..
Try it..
It will change your reading habits & speed..!

Remember - You may not need to do it all.. design it all.. or direct it all.. but when it comes to making things you want to happen to happen, you may well have to inspire & drive it all..
Well, things don't turn up in this world until somebody turns them up..
