p er year Vi saveD a Company $2 million DollarsNot hypothetical money. Not imaginary money. Not money they were consideringspending. Real money the company was ALREADY spending.Using my X-Ray Vision, I saw business opportunities and systems optimizationswhich allowed them to save that $2 million dollars EACH year.Then I started doing it for other companies.

(marketing / information Design)The ability to CommuniCate complex ideas Design them in interesting ways influenCe people to follow them

way past 10,000 hours of Designing

way past 10,000 hours of DesigningYou might think “telepathic” is a stretch, but the ability to communicate an ideafrom one mind to another is an amazing thing which takes years to develop.My most recent display of power? Using my telepathic powers, I’ve influenced over65,000 minds with just 3 SlideShare presentations.With 18 years of professional design, I hit the 10,000 hour marker years ago.According to some statistics, that qualifies me as an expert telepath. ;)

in the past year i’ve reaD 67 books

I’d call that “su perhum V an”in the past year i’ve reaD 67 booksAn Associated Press poll from 2007 reported that 27% of Americans had not reada single book in the previous year. Of the 73% that had, the average was 6.5 books.That means I read more than 10 times the national average (which doesn’t even takeinto account the average 2500 blog articles per month that Google Reader says Iconsume).I’ve been reading like this for years...and I’ll tell you why in just a few slides.
