Like to Double Your Memory - Permanently?

Interested in Doubling Your Memory in 15 Minutes

Without Tuition? Evelyn Wood created speed reading back in 1959, and graduated

2 million, including the White House staffs of four U.S. Presidents.

The undersigned was her business partner, and learned her personal

memory system - not taught to her students.

The details revealed here for-the-first-time, enable users of Evelyn's memory system to permanently double their long-term memory. Learning it requires about 15 minutes of training time. Executives and college students call it amazing.

But - you must be motivated to have the competitive edge over your peers, focus your Attention on learning her system, and use your Volition (will-power) to master

Evelyn's system.

Before continuing please ask yourself - "Is it worth 15 minutes to permanently double your long-term memory?"

Three Legs of Memory Retention

1. Imagination: our brain best encodes, stores, and retrieves (processes) information, using Pictures, Symbols, and Doodles (draw casually). It sees and remembers long-term in images.

2. Association: our brain best retrieves stored information and knowledge,

by linking new ideas or concepts with preexisting long-term memory. How?

You must mentally connect whatever you want to permanently recall

with an already stored (preexisting, old) memory.

Example: we Associate the 9/11 tragedy with where we were and what we

were doing at the time we first heard or saw video of the planes crashing

into the twin-towers. We can immediately mentally visualize the scene

without effort because we have an Association (link) of one to the other.

3. Location: we must isolate in time and place the list we want to remember.

Our brain has the capacity to remember 10,000 lists, presentations, and

idea groups, and retain them for up to your lifetime.

Example of location: Name: list of Civil War Battles (or Generals).

Example of location: Presentation to Board of Directors 9.12.09

Location indexes for your brain what the list contains, for easy retrieval.

Evelyn's Peg And Link System

Definition: Peg system is transposing numbers into Action Verbs for mental

visualization. We create mental Pegs to hang (hook) ideas we want to remember.

One-through-ten must be learned (memorized) and put into long-term recall through repetition. Once retained, the Peg words are used to Link with new

information we wish to permanently retain. Remember - we hook the new

ideas to old - preexisting - long-term memories.

Action Verbs to Mentally Picture

The number One is: RUN (running, ran). Imagine Men and Women RUNNING the Marathon.

Number Two is: THROW (throwing, thrown). Imagine a Quarterback THROWING a football.

Number Three is: PEE (peeing, peed). Imagine a dog PEEING on a Fire Hydrant.

Number Four is: SCORE (scoring, scored). Imagine Home Plate and the player

SCORING a run.

Number Five is: FIGHT (fighting, fought). Imagine two Tigers FIGHTING for their lives.

Number Six is: STRIKE (striking, struck). Imagine a picket line with STRIKING

workers or Striking someone with a stick.

Number Seven is: SLEEP (sleeping, slept). Imagine a baby sleeping.

Number Eight is: MATE (mating, mated). Imagine two lions mating.

Number Nine is: SWINE (swines, swine-ing). Imagine a Swine-in-mud.

Number Ten is: HEN (henning, hens). Imagine a Hen smiling at her chicks.

Practice 1-10 Action Verbs

See the mental images in mind's eye until you automatically substitute the

new Picture for the number. Example: What is Seven?

Seven in my mind's eye is SLEEP - I can recall a baby sleeping.

What is Four?

I can visualize the action verb - SCORE - In my mind's eye, I see a player scoring

a run. He/she is laughing with joy at scoring.

Linking Secret

Example of List to remember: using the Peg (1-10), and a Link to a long-term memory. 1. Symphony Orchestra, 2. St. Patrick's Cathedral, 3.Thomas Edison,

4.Abraham Lincoln, and 5. Viet Nam war. You can remember up to 100 items.

a) Link a Ridiculous connection between the new idea and the

Peg (1-10) number. Example: Picture the entire Symphony Orchestra

holding their instruments, and running in the NYC Marathon.

b) Exaggeration: link a crazy connection between the new and a Peg #.

Example: Visualize the entire Congregation at St. Patrick's THROWING balls all around the Cathedral.

c) Substitution: link Tom Edison PEEING on a statute. Substituting

Edison for a kid.

d) Out-of-Proportion: Example: See a ten-foot tall Abe Lincoln

SCORING a HomeRun.

e) Substitute something funny for the real thing. Example:

Imagine the Viet Nam war being kids dancing, instead of soldiers

FIGHTING.

Endwords: Speed Reading and Speed Memory are your tools for success.

It takes about five-minutes to learn to substitute Evelyn's PEG words for the numbers one-to-ten. It takes another ten-minutes to mentally visualize a LINK

between the new information and the Peg.

You can exaggerate, make ridiculous, out-of-proportion, substitute, or funny (humor) combination between the PEGS and the LINK. The sillier you imagine

the link, the easier it is to remember because it Surprises Broca - your brain

structure, with Wernicke's Area - for long-term storage.

Keep testing yourself doing the PEGS forward -and backward, until you absolutely

know 1-10 on Auto-Pilot. It is well worth the effort.

Would it give you the competitive edge at school and your career to read-and-remember three (3) books, articles and reports in the time your peers can hardly finish one? Ask us how.

See ya,

Who's best for first time commercial loan? - I truly hope you can prove me wrong on this. If you do, please post your experience for others to benefit from. I think you will be VERY disappointed in the types of financing available to small businesspeople. The SBA is one way to go, but it requires that you put money down and allow them to put leins on everything you own, from your home to your underwear. As for true "commercial" loans, the banks I've spoken to won't even consider it if you've been in business less than 2 years. Even then, they try hard to channel it into an SBA program if they can (because of the partial loan guarantee.) So, basically, the answer near as I can figure is that nearly nobody provides true commercial lending to new endeavors. If you really want a shock, you should see the interest rates that small businesses pay on unsecured small-business loans once they do qualify. Double digit interest rates are more the rule than the exception. You'd be better off taking cash advances at intro rates on your credit card. You might seek sources of venture capital. Allow yourself a repayment provision whereby you buy out initial investors at their initial investment plus a reasonable rate of return.
