"I have reached speeds of over 800"

When I was growing up my brother was a natural speed reader with a near-photographic memory. 
My mother was an English graduate who felt that reading and education were everything that was important in the world. 
My father was a dislexic entrepreneur who felt that education was key. 

I felt inferior with my reading, even though my IQ was very high. I felt “what was the point” as my brother was obviously always going to be better than me at it so I was never going to impress. 
Reading was a chore. Reading was a bore. Reading, quite simply, was not for me. I joined a book club 6 years ago and until I discovered Audible, I never finished the books. 
It took too long, I never had the time and why read when I could listen! 

Then I became a life coach and discovered a love and thirst for knowledge in the field. But my reading, I felt, was holding me back and I didn’t feel as though I got enough out of the audible books, I didn’t realise that I was craving structure, note-taking and belief. 

Thanks to Jim and his course, I have taken my “comfort” reading from 207 words per minute to 550 and in sprints, I have reached speeds of over 800. 

All of this, with full comprehension of the material I am reading. I was given financial documents to read the other day and far from being a chore, I relished the chance to understand and learn the contents therein. I’m thinking of all the good books that I’m going to be able to read - in a week or less - and all the interesting new things I am going to learn. Transformational? YES YES YES, however, this tale has a cautionary end. If you don’t do the work, you won’t get the results.
