Week 3 Overview
Congratulations! You’re about to start your third and final week of this program.
Make sure to review your vision you set in the beginning of this Quest. You
might find some obstacles in this week ahead. Do you feel you don’t have
enough time? Or is your motivation low? Go back to the preparation guide and
read through it. Reach out to your Tribe and accountability partner and find
how you can push each other to finish this Quest like Superstars.
Below you can find the awesomeness that is awaiting you this week. We will
continue boosting your comprehension and adding important details on how
to up-level you retention and reading speed. Finally we will transfer all we
learned with light fiction onto reading technical information. In the end of
the week I will reveal the 5 levels of reading on which this Quest was built.
Knowing the 5 levels is important for anything you want to achieve in your life.
