“Do You Constantly Have Piles of Reading Material That You Just Don’t Seem to Get  Through?”

I had that problem for years, even though I’m a fast reader. There were always papers, reports, magazines that I just never got to read. Time ran away from me and there were other priorities.

Here’s how I solved that problem.

Hi, I’m Gail Geronimos.

I can now read (and digest) a 300 page business book in about 2 hours. That was not possible just a few months ago.

Before I explain what I did this is what is possible…

•    John F. Kennedy and George Bernard Shaw displayed extraordinary comprehension and surpassed the average by reading in excess of 3,000 words/minute.

•    Nineteenth century economist John Stuart Mill complained he couldn’t turn pages as fast as he could read them.

•    US President Theodore Roosevelt read 2 to 3 books a day while in office.

The average adult can read between 250 and 300 words/minute.

Do you want to increase your reading rate way beyond the average and read a book in less than 2 hours?

Then come along to The Quantum Reading Course - a 1 day workshop on 28 April 2009.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
•    5 ways to get through information overload at least 3 times faster than you do right now
•    how to read 5 books a week in just 30 minutes a day and recall the information easily whenever you need it
•    3 reasons why Quantum Reading will help you to read more and comprehend more
•    how to comprehend massive amounts of information is in only 20% of the time
•    3 steps to increase your productivity
•    play the dictionary game and increase your reading rate in 90 seconds
•    how to increase your mental capacity and unused brainpower
•    how to create more time in your day by reading faster

But you have to be there in the room.

Quantum Reading, like any technique, takes an investment in practice. But, I’m sure you’ll agree, reading a best selling business book in less than 2 hours means you can read 50-100 books per year without any problem. Imagine the impact that will have on your business and your career.A little about Ioho de Beer – the course presenter

Ioho is an international speaker and trainer. She has worked with executives from BHP Billiton, Anglo American, Rothschilds, NSW Government and many small businesses and individuals.

Quantum Reading will teach you…

•    How to read newspapers and periodicals with high speed and efficiency.
•    How to increase your comprehension dramatically through reading with “purpose.”
•    How to use mind-mapping techniques to cultivate greater precision and creativity in your thinking
•    What ‘naturally fast’ readers do and don’t do.
•    How to track your progress and continue to sharpen your skills.

Think of the advantages you could enjoy if you tripled the volume of information you read each day and increased your rate of retention.

FACT 1: The average reading speed of adults in Australia is just 300 words per minute!

FACT 2:You can double your reading speed by the application of a few simple techniques.

FACT 3:The average comprehension score of adult readers in Australia is poor!

FACT 4:You can improve your comprehension score by the application of a few simple techniques.

Day 2 of our Internet Marketing Workshop in Brisbane

Internet Marketing Workshop Brisbane

We’ve just finished our 2 day internet marketing workshop. A big job. It was go, go, go.

The big thing - we tested a new workshop model. Basically, keep the entry price low, provide great content with the very best speakers and have speakers sell their services at the workshop.

All worked (except 1 speaker who didn’t provide enough content).

Why this model? From a survey we did in February companies made it clear that they have no idea where to go to get the right suppliers. We heard horror stories about web developers who really screwed up websites because they didn’t understand marketing, people who paid the ‘Google Dumb Tax’ - in other words paid way too much for their Google ads, databases that were very broken and next to useless, etc, etc, etc.

I’ve paid dearly for some internet whoppers and I know how much that hurts.

Achaeus - Internet Marketing Workshop Brisbane

The Internet Workshop covered all the essentials of what companies can do to get effective internet marketing working for them. I’m feeling pretty good about it right now - the feedback has been great. We need to ’smooth logistics out’ but basically all else hit the spot with our participants.

So I’m looking at how we can help companies get the right advice from the right suppliers - read, and not paying a motsa for it. Anyway watch this space.

Cheers

Achaeus Internet Marketing Workshop Brisbane

Yesterday was Day 1 of our 2-day Internet marketing workshop at the Bardon Conference Centre in Brisbane.

In a packed house, we had our guest speakers presented to the delegates some new ways of getting the Internet and their websites to generate leads, get traffic and convert to sales. We have delegates from the SME, Government and Non-Profit sectors and in multiple industries.

We had Gail Geronimos Introduce the event, Andrew and Daryl Grant were our Keynote speakers and talked about how the transition from traditional marketing to Internet Marketing has helped them. Sue Gardiner talked about copywriting for Internet Marketing. We had Matt and Amanda Clarkson who has developed an eBay business share their story. Barnaby De Palma from Alive online talked about Blogging, Social networks and SEO.

I’ll be speaking today (Day 2) about technology, automation, SPAM and metrics  along with Monte Huebsch from AussieWeb Conversion who will be talking about Google Adwords, Meyrick Adams from Gen3 Media talk about his Email marketing solution. West Loh will be introducing online outsourcing options. Then Andrew and Daryl Grant will discuss Internet Strategy to be concluded with Gail Geronimos on “Putting it all together”

I’ve been rehearsing my talk, I’m covering quite a bit and when it comes to technology, it’s important to be succinct as possible. My job is to help the delegates understand how technology can help instead of confusing them with jargon and detail.

If you are at the workshop today, I’d love your comments, not only on my talk, but also my fellow speakers.

We are sold out!!!
