So here is my first and absolutely will be refined before I am finished, outline.
Step 1: Improve memory- I will mostly follow Harry Lorrayne's model for memory improvement using association as the big key. Right now it takes me about 10-15 seconds per association, I need to get it down to 2-3 seconds for it to be useful for my purposes. I will be going to a seminar in early December to help hone my skills. My goal is to be able to use the mind mapping technique within 3 months.
Step 2: Speed Reading- I have gone back and forth on this. What is step two? Right now I have settled on speed reading. After I have increased my capacity to recall info and create connections I need to be able to rapidly acquire information. Right now I read about 300 words per minute with a comprehension of 90%. While I read 50% faster than the average reader, there are people out there who read 1000+ words per minute with an 85% comprehension. So my goal is to be a One Percenter
Step 3: FACE- This is where it gets fun. This stuff is based Paul Ekman's work. It will be awesome when no one can lie to me. I took the basic course and it has helped me immensely in reading people, but i have a long way to go.
Step 4: Covert Persuasion- Actually I will be working on this throughout the other steps. I will be pulling from several sources for this. Magic, NLP, and hypnosis
The journey begins
I think you have a noble goal in mind. Developing yourself is the wisest investment you can make.
ReplyDeleteRobert Dilts did a whole bunch of "Patterns of Genius". You may want to investigate some of his work.
Additionally, I find it's best to start with a clearly defined goal/intention. You're goal is to create a system that works to develop someone into a genius. I think a good starting point would be to determine EXACTLY what you think a genius is so that you'll know what you need to become in order to achieve your goal.
