“Our lives are changed by the people we meet
and the books we read”
- Brian Tracy
(thanks, Brian...you inspire me every day!)

Introduction:
From the guy who devours
2-5 books a week!
• An insider shortcut to harnessing the professional skills
to learn faster and retain more that you need in ANY job or
occupation you tackle...
• You’ll easily copy these methods to become a fantastic

interviewer, speaker, or presenter (Powerpoint or Keynote,
anyone?)
• The “Wow, that’s easy” five step process that you can
learn in as little as 30 minute that gives you a totally unfair
advantage over others in your market...
• Part of this secret process includes studying the back flaps

and Table of Contents as if you’re life depended on it. That’s
right--the BORING parts that everyone skips are easily some
of the most important to learn and master...

Why This System Works:

“Programming” Your Eyes & Brain
I’ve created this process myself – but I’ve read and studied many
speed-reading, learning, and memory optimization strategies. I
modeled and integrated them into my own process that I’ve been
using for several years, with massive success.
In fact, I regularly read two to five books a week!
I want to credit PhotoReading from Learning Strategies – Paul

Scheele and Pete Bissonette for making what I think is one of the
better systems for whole brain learning. One portion of this process
is modeled after what they teach…
I also want to acknowledge my mastermind group for pushing me

to write this, and turn it into a book…because I’ve been THINKING
about doing it for a year, and haven’t gotten around to it until now!
One more request: Please “suspend your disbelief”, and your

judgment until we get to the end of this book--because one of three
parts will seem a little “woo-woo” at first…but it’ll make complete
sense later on.

Let’s begin with some statistics and how we retain information:
• 20% of what we HEAR
• 30% of what we SEE
• 50% of what we HEAR and SEE
• 70% of what we DISCUSS
• 90% of what we CREATE or TEACH
Preparation and
Opening Credits:
The Disappearing Letters Trick
This part is very “whole brain”, but it really works. One trick that
you should do BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE is, clear you
mind and prepare yourself for rapid learning.
We’re all faced with distractions: iPhones, Emails, Facebook, IM,

the TV, etc. You need to have a un-cluttered mind, or else this WILL
NOT WORK to its’ full potential.
Ready?
Here’s an easy exercise that you can do right now to clear your mind
of all distractions almost effortlessly...
First, take 3 deep breaths.

Breathe in very slowly, then exhale.
Next, imagine a blank movie screen, with the words B L A N K

written on it.
Can you see this in your “mind’s eye”?
OK... Now...
Close your eyes.
Just trust me on this.
Imagine with me a blank movie screen, with a black border and an

off-white hue. The words BLANK are on the screen.
See it? Great! Now, this part might be a little hard to believe at first,
but bear with me. I promise this is totally worth it.
Imagine each letter of the word BLANK disappearing, each letter at

a time.
This process should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute to do. Allow

your mind to naturally get rid of the letters until all that you can see
is a white screen.
Got it? Good. Now take three more deep breaths. This is so key. Just
do it. Trust me.
So, no more letters, just one big blank movie screen. Your mind is
now totally empty and free. Take three more deep breaths, and we
can move on to the next step.
Now that your mind is a blank canvas, and you have taken nine
deep, relaxing breaths, you are ready to start your Mindset exercise.
Step One:
Your Mindset
The main thing you need to focus on after you get your breathing
and mind under control is this:
Ask yourself:
Q: Why are you reading this book?
Q: What are the main concepts and changes you want to experience
after reading it?
Quick Tip: The next part you need to get your heart and mind
around is:

Q: Who in your life could most benefit from the information in the
book? One of your friends? Someone in your family?
Look back at the How We Retain Information example above. See

the part where it says that to retain 90% of what you read, you need
to teach the material to someone else?
Listen, it’s 100% true.
You need to be able to teach the content of the book to someone

else. We are flipping the usual “book reading” game on it’s ear,
which is how you are able to get so much done so quickly!
Not only do you start to listen to your heart, but you put yourself
into a “teaching” mode. This way you are able to retain 90% of what
you’ll read almost automatically!
Ask yourself these 3 questions...

Q: What exactly do I want to teach in this book if I knew and
understood everything that was in it?
Q: Which parts do I want to transfer to someone else to improve their

life?
Q: If I had to ask the author a series of questions about the strategies

that I need to teach to my friends, what will they be?
So, to recap, go back and do the Movie Screen exercise, where you
clear you head.
Then position your mind as a Teacher of ultra-valuable material-

-Remember that you are reading the book so you can pass the
information along to friends--as an instructor or teacher. Your whole
goal and mindset is to be committed to being IN SERVICE to others-
not to yourself. You want to give them this information as a “gift” as
a teacher, guide and mentor.

The House Party

Another killer method for retaining knowledge is to read it with the
mindset that you will interview the author after you finish reading
the book.
Do you believe this will ramp up your ability to harness more

information, and share it with other people that matter to you and
help them? You bet it will!
In essence, you are putting a big ball of “good” pressure on your

subconscious which says, “I have to read this book and squeeze out
ALL the juice I can so I can teach!”
This COMMITS you and gives you a massive WHY.
See, the trick to retaining 90% of what you read will only be
realized if you read it with the goal of passing the information on to
others. Your retention skyrockets when you TEACH and PRACTICE
what you learn.
Even if you never actually teach anyone this content, putting yourself
in this mindset prepares you for it anyway. Technically, your brain
can’t tell the difference between real and imagined experiences - so
this little “trick” forces you to learn and retain differently because
your identity gets involved.
You don’t want to look like a fool in front of your peers, do you?
With that in mind, I want you to read the book with the goal that
you will interview the writer for 20 minutes. This trains your brain
to come up with some great questions that you either want answered
or explained in greater detail. Again, imagine the people you
want to share the information in the book with. Connect with them
emotionally. Feel their pain.
When you empathize with someone and present with compassion

and understanding, it makes you more real, more authentic and
emotionally involved.
Think about a teacher, mentor or coach you may have had in the
past who had a profound influence and effect on you. Were they
empathic, compassionate, emotionally involved with you and their
content?
I suspect so.
Armed with this new mindset, you’re going to be remembering the

main ideas and principles behind ANY book that you read, almost
without effort.
So, read the book as if you will interview the author afterwards.
Plus, as an added incentive to get the information rapidly transferred
in your head the first time, picture yourself actually presenting the
content from the book in 2 hours or less.
Twenty people who desperately NEED the information will be

knocking at your door. You are subconsciously forcing yourself to
retain the information--why? Because you have to or those 20 people
will leave your office or home feeling even more miserable than
before! You’ll be letting them down! They’re looking up to YOU to
help them!

Step Two:
Preparation
Open up the book you’re going to read. If you don’t have a copy of
the book yet, then head on over to Amazon and get into the content
of the book to see if you’ll like it.
On most of the books on Amazon.

com, you’ll see the ability to open
up the book and see the Front and
Back covers, the Table of Contents,
the Index and so on.
Take a second to go through your

book and get your mind ready so
that when you do get the book,
you’re prepared. You’ll see the
preview of one of my favorite
writer’s books, author Tim Ferris’
The 4 Hour Workweek.
I’m able to get a huge jump even if I cannot get the book right away.
The “Promise”
Method Revealed
There’s no excuse on why you can’t do this from home, from a
smart-phone or iPad, where-ever you happen to be.
Pick up the book and get a glimpse of the front cover. What is this
book’s main message? What is the author’s PROMISE to you when
you read the book? Next, flip to the back cover, and glance over the
bullets and summary, as well as any testimonials that famous (or
regular) readers have left.
Then, move to the first flap on the left. Read the beginning and
ending flaps on both covers of the book. Then skim through the Table
of Contents and the Index. This is what I call The Promise Method.
With the goal of teaching this info to that group that is coming to
your house, you are now scanning the info in the book for all the
Promises the book says it will reveal.
So, start soaking in the main methods and terms in the Table of
Contents, the Index in the back, the flaps, and the front and
back covers.
Then, in the first glance after you’ve done that, immediately write
down in the front of the book any questions, key concepts or
distinctions youth want to ask the author about during your 20
minute interview. Listen, it doesn’t matter how silly or weird, just
write down the questions that come to you.
These INTENTIONS program your mind and eyes so when you scan
and read the book in a later step, the answers to your questions will
seem to magically pop out of the pages and answer themselves.
I mark up and write in my books so I never lose the notes. If you

don’t like the idea of this, books are cheap - order a “bookshelf”
copy! But feel free to use notebook paper and paper clip your notes
inside the book.
For example, if the author says, “Eat protein 30 minutes after you
wake up in the morning.” Say that’s in the Table of Contents. Write
down, “Why is eating protein 30 minutes after waking a great idea?
What about waiting 1 hour? Does that hurt your body?”
That might be a question that comes up in your head during

this exercise.
Cool, huh?
Now, on to one of the ULTRA-EFFECTIVE tricks I use to get the

information into my head very quickly. This tip gives me perhaps
DOUBLE the normal retention rate.
I want you to get your breathing right, which is crucial for the Full
Mind Reading we are going to do.
You need to breathe in and out, remembering that your goal is to

be a SERVANT for the group that is coming over in 2 hours. Now,
imagine yourself being able to possibly “drink” the information
quickly into your mind, and do a cool Vulcan Mind Meld with the
author. Is that weird? Yes. Does it work? It does for me.
(if you aren’t familiar with the “Vulcan Mind Meld”, it’s a Star Trek
reference. The character, Spock - who is a Vulcan can transfer any
experience, emotion or knowledge to or from anyone by pressing his
hands on their temples and face. Something similar happened in the
movie “The Matrix” when Neo got information downloaded into his
head instantly so he could operate any kind of assault weapon and
learn every type of martial art.)
Picture yourself being able to quickly and easily “drink” in the

information inside the author’s mind while you breathe in and out,
OK?
Now, flip through the pages in the book, about 2 seconds for each
page. Glance at objects, pictures, headlines, and bullets.
Notice the information that is bolded, or highlighted.
DO NOT THINK about what you are seeing though-just take it in at

this point. That is all we want to do. Every two or three seconds, just
calmly flip the pages over, soaking in the information.
Make sure to “see” each side of the page (left and right),
as a whole picture, not just pieces here and there.
I make a point of chanting “breathe in, breathe out, serve the ones
I care about most” to myself while I do this step to keep my brain
from getting bored or distracted. Find something that inspires you to
complete this step.
You’re programming your subconscious mind.

Step Three:
The Mind Follows
The next thing I do after I go through each page, while breathing
naturally and connecting with the content, is I turn on the physical
part of my brain.
Huh?
Well, let me explain.
Tony Robbins says that whatever your body

does, your mind will follow. Tony is all about
physiology. Movement.
We are physical beings - and connecting intent, emotion and motion

hyper accelerates the education and retention process.
With that in mind, very, very rapidly, go through the book again,
and highlight with a red or black pen and a pink or green (or
whatever) color highlighter, the main ideas that stand out.
As you highlight the key ideas, I write down 3 things:

• More Questions I want to ask the author (follow up from step
one where you wrote these down in the front of the book)
• Answers to those questions you believe to be true. (Try to get

these from the book and your quick scans. Then write down
the answers in the beginning blank pages of the book.)
• Page numbers of where I found the information. It’s during

this time that you’ll find you’ll find the answers to the
questions you have will seem to pop out of nowhere.
This step is where I

learn the most and
the fastest - and after
you’ve done this with
three books you’ll learn
that you’ll be able ton
decrease the time it
takes to consume books
by 20%-50%.

Step Four:
Timing Is Everything
Handy Trick: Another cool tip is to start your writing process with
an egg timer or something that clicks. This will help you to keep that
teaching mindset and the fact that you have an obligation to others-
and WHY you are reading this.
When I first began these exercises, I got connected by timing myself

with an egg timer for 20-30 minutes.
I got through a 200 page book, with the egg timer, writing key
thoughts, putting down the key questions, and possible answers to
the questions I had when I first started writing.
Then, like I said above, I write down the page numbers for the
questions I have and the answers that I find. Now, what you need to
do is Review the ORIGINAL questions you asked at the beginning of
the book and respond to them.
I write down page numbers

because it’s important to be able to
have a chest sheet if someone asks
you something specific or you are
actually interviewing the author
and need to make a point.
Specificity is proof.
Step Five:
Summarize & Act
Next, after you read through the book two times, the second time
being the physical act of highlighting key concepts and distinctions,
writing down questions, possible answers, and page numbers, then
you will write (preferably on paper), a summary of what you feel the
book is about.
A few paragraphs, try three or four, will be fine for now.
Second, imagine yourself preparing to interview the author in front

of a live audience and TV camera in an hour. This is the part where
your twenty-minute interview will come into play.
This is crucial to you being able to confidently understand

what the book is about. Don’t worry about getting flustered or
overwhelmed the first time-just go with the questions and ideas
you have at this moment.
Pick two close friends, family members, etc, who could really use the

information in the book. Allow the questions and interview to center

on what those two people need to hear.
Remember, you’ll be the most authentic and real when you are
preparing and presenting for a SPECIFIC audience, not a
general one.
Final Thoughts...
Here are the questions you should try to answer after reading
the book:
• What are the three top concepts the viewer will get out of this
interview or review? What are the three top concepts you
want your 2 friends to get out of the book?
• Who is this book written for? Who can or will get the most
out of putting the information into practice in their lives?
• What is the MOST important fact your chosen audience needs

to know that you learned in the book?
• What 2-3 MYTHS about the subject matter has the author
proven are not true about the topic?
See how using this easy 5 step blueprint, and YOUR questions,
practically guarantees that you’ll not only be able to do a great
interview with the real author, but that you can pass on this
knowledge with up to 90% retention rate to all your friends?

Secrets Worksheet

directly edit this worksheet. If you want to print out and follow
along please go to the URL below and download your
FREE PDF copy!

The Mindset
1. Start with your intention: Why are you reading this book?
2. What first drew you to the title?
3. What do you want to learn?
4. Position yourself as a TEACHER - teach the content from the

book.
5. Ask yourself this: Because when you are IN SERVICE and

PRACTICING what you read, your comprehension goes to 90%
or greater. Are you serving others right now or it is it all about
your wallet? Answer truthfully.
6. Answer the question – what would I want to teach in this book if

I knew and understood everything that was in it?
7. Read the book as if you must interview the author afterwards.
8. Your goal is to share every major idea in the book in a 20 minute

interview with the author after you finish this process.

The System: Preparation
1. Read the back cover of the book, plus the flaps and any bullets
or highlighted areas on the front or back covers. Read the blurbs
and testimonials from the critics and famous faces if there are
any.
2. If it exists, read the Index next. Flip through it, looking for key
terms and patterns in the book. See words that are repeating over
and over again?
3. Write down all the questions from this exercise that you want to
have answered by the author at the beginning of the book. (I use
the front blank pages for this. That’s what they are for :)
Whole Brain Learning
1. Your goal is to get your subconscious and emotions working FOR

YOU, not against you, which is how we usually “work” in the
world.
2. Imagine being able to do a “Vulcan Mind Meld” with the author,

where you can have a personal relationship with them. This
personal connection will allow you to be able to transfer their
knowledge into your mind.

3. Physiology: Breathe, review intentions, clear your mind. This is

the part where you soak in images, words, highlighted phrases
and bullet points. You will notice ideas are going to transfer into
your mind. This is why we scan through the entire book once
before we write anything down-soaking in images for later use.
4. You’ll begin by scanning the entire book for headlines, objects,

and groups of words. Flip through one page every 1-2 seconds,
full-mind reading, teaching your subconscious to bring in the
content and see with your mind, not your eyes. Turn each page
with every 1-2 breaths…
5. Open yourself up to the possibility that perhaps you can “drink”

the information right into your brain…
6. Allow your breathing to be a metronome…See the WHOLE page

(left and right), with your entire field of vision. Use a stopwatch
or egg timer for enhancing this effect.
The Mind Follows
Tony Robbins says that whatever your body does,

your mind will follow.
• Grab a highlighter with plenty of ink left in it and a pen

(preferably blue)
• Very rapidly, go through the book again, and highlight the

main ideas that stand out to you. Alternate between your pen
and the highlighter to really get the information into your
subconscious.
• The content you highlight or mark can be bullets, asides, key

paragraphs, or bold phrases. As you highlight the key ideas,
I would write down 3 things:

1. Questions you want to ask the author (follow up from step one
where you wrote these down in the front of the novel). I’ve
provided space here for basic starter ideas.
2. Answers to those questions that you think are right. Don’t rack
your brain, just write down the first thing that comes into your
head. (Try to get these from the book and your quick scans. Then
write down the answers in the beginning blank pages of the
book. Jot down initial answers below.
3. Also, be sure to write down all the page numbers of where you
found your answers to the information, so you can quickly go
back and not get lost, which wastes precious time.
Timing Is Everything
• Begin by getting yourself an old-school egg timer from

Amazon or your local Target or Walmart. I love this one
because it’s retro and it gets the job done. You should use
something with an audible click or tone so you feel pressured
to get the information into your head in time for your
interview and the crowd coming over.
• Remember, this part is very important. So, please do not skip

it. Giving yourself 2 hours to get through your book and get
the questions and main ideas down will get you ready for
your interview with the author. Plus, you’ll be positioned to
help the 20 people who are coming over to your house.
• Tick tock. This exercise, while bland, has HUGE potential and
is very powerful for digesting the solutions of any book so
they stick to your brain like glue.
• Go through the book with the egg timer, and review your
original questions at the beginning of the book. Next, write
down your answers to them for the second time. Are they
right?

Summarize & Act
So, you’ve gone through the book, once by skimming and flipping,
next with the egg timer and a highlighter and pen.
• The first time was mental-focusing on key phrases
and thoughts.
• The second time was physical-the use of the pen and

highlighter allowed key methods to soak into your mind at a
much faster rate than normal.
• You also exercised the physical and mental parts of your

mind again by writing down questions and answers in the
book. This was a key step.

• This third exercise will be to summarize the book the best you
can. Write down what you think the core message is saying to
you. What, is the central idea or main theme of the book?
• Next, imagine yourself again in front of the author, with a

live audience. Picture what you will wear, how you will act,
and what questions you will ask of the author in your twenty
minute interview.
• Pick two people in your life who really need the information
in your book. Structure your questions around those two
people, and what info would most benefit them.

Mike Koenigs, the Author

Geek, surfer, marketer, video producer and didgeridoo player, Mike
Koenigs is best known as the guy who created the Web 2.0 syndication
service, Traffic Geyser that distributes over a million videos per week
and generates top ranking, web traffic and leads in minutes by sending
video content to over 100 video, social bookmarking, social media, blog
and podcasting sites and directories.
Mike grew up in Eagle Lake, Minnesota (pop. 763)

where he taught himself how to program at age
14. He wrote video games for the first Mac game
company, PCAI. In 1991, he co-founded Digital
Café, one of the first interactive multimedia
agencies that produced the world’s first branded
CD-ROM game, “Chex Quest” and shipped in
more than six-million boxes of General Mills
cereal. Digital Café produced many of the
world’s first movie web sites, promotional screen
savers and games for Sony, Columbia-Tristar and
20th Century Fox. He sold the company during
the dotcom boom to publicly-held IPG and
billion-dollar agency Campbell-Mithun in 1999.
He’s credited for making “Infomercial Toolkit”

and inventing the “Internet Infomercial” for
marketing and selling products or services
with video on the web.
Michael has served as a producer, marketer

and consultant for Sony Entertainment, 20th
Century Fox, 3M, General Mills, Dominos
Pizza, Ralston, Mazda Motors and New York

MonsterFollowUp can start making you more
money in under an hour…
MonsterFollowUp:
• Captures Leads
• Connects with Prospects
• Communicates with Multiple Channels
• Closes and Sells for You Automatically…
MonsterFollowUp captures leads with voice recognition, mobile text,

lead capture forms, a custom email and opt-in for any web site or
blog. A user can build a campaign with our pre-made instant “push
button” templates that do the “four C’s” in 1 minute…
In our experience, when you capture leads with multiple channels,

you increase your list size by 20%-200% with no extra effort…
MonsterFollowUp connects by researching your prospect by

visiting their web site, finding their FaceBook information, LinkedIn
details, Google Profile and Twitter information…it determines their
“influence score” so you can focus on high-value leads instantly… It
determines their age, sex, interests and what type of business
they’re in…
In our experience, when you KNOW your prospect and follow

up with them based on this KNOWLEDGE, you close 15%-500%
higher…because you build RAPPORT.
MonsterFollowUp communicates and follows up with multichannel

communications including personalized email, mobile text,
voicemail, postcard and letters. Our “secret sauce” is two-way
communications where the prospect can reply to email or mobile text
with “simulated live conversations” to populate custom fields…
In our experience, multi-channel follow up with two-way

communications results in more trust and 15%-500% increased
responsiveness. Communicate with your prospects on THEIR terms,
not yours…some people prefer email, others prefer mobile text…
MonsterFollowUp closes deals and sells for you automatically with

automated sales funnels. With our pre-made campaigns, you can
create simulated live teleseminars, webinars and webcasts that run
on demand, every hour, every day, week, month or whenever you
program. The events can be experienced by phone, mobile device or
desktop and laptop.
Anytime, anywhere, any device…
Best of all, MonsterFollowUp is “smart” and follows up based on the

BEHAVIOR of the prospect – whether they finish the event, arrive
late, leave early or don’t show up.

MonsterFollowUp automatically replays your events and notify your

sales team when someone COMPLETES an event for direct follow up
so you close EVEN MORE sales.
In our experience, using simulated “live” events results in 15%-300%

higher attendance and combining multi-channel communications,
reminders and follow up for events results in 8%-500% increases in
attendance.
The bottom line? When you add all of the benefits of using the “four
C’s”, you increase your sales by 25%-500% or more.
MonsterFollowUp is used by thousands of customers worldwide,

dozens of celebrity clients, authors and experts including Tony
Robbins, David Bach (Finish Rich), Dean Graziosi (NY Times #1
Bestselling Author), Brendon Burchard (Bestselling Author), Darren
Hardy (of Success Magazine) and many more.
