The Power of SPEED

Being a powerful person does not require you to have a big body, physical strength or a loud voice. You don’t need an important title, popularity or wealth.

You can increase your personal power in many ways, by yourself, including an important discovery most people have never heard about. You increase personal power with speed.

“THE RAPIDITY OF PARTICLE FLOW ALONE DETERMINES POWER.” — L. Ron Hubbard

To understand and use this power technique, let’s break down this idea with these definitions.

Rapidity: Speediness; being fast or rapid.
Particle: Tiny pieces or parts.
Flow: Smooth, continuous movement or motion.
Particle Flow: Movement of small things.

Now read this quote again to understand how to increase your power: “THE RAPIDITY OF PARTICLE FLOW ALONE DETERMINES POWER.” — L. Ron Hubbard

In other words, the faster you make things go, the more power you control!

For example, Roger is a very fast carpenter. When he builds something, like a shed, he quickly moves his particles: tools, wood, nails, his hands and his mind. He is focused and fast. Roger can build a small, perfect shed in three hours while other carpenters take all day. Roger earns twice as much money than other carpenters and he has more fun. Everyone wants Roger to work for them. He has power.

As another example, Maddi decides to become the fastest bookkeeper in her office. She figures out how to enter more client data per day than anyone else, and she never makes mistakes. Maddi gets promoted to train the bookkeepers. She not only trains them quickly, she helps find and fix other bookkeeper mistakes, and she does this faster than her boss. Maddi earns a reputation as the fastest and best bookkeeper in the company. She is offered more training and management opportunities than anyone else. Maddi has power.

Business Power from Speed

Speed of particle flow determines the power and success of a business. The faster the business’ particles (service, sales, payment acceptance, delivery and support) the more prosperous it becomes.

As a result, we all enjoy benefits like these.

You want some information NOW. Do you go to a library? Or do you do a Google search or ask an AI chatbot?

Five Reasons to Slow Down

You can create problems for yourself if you go TOO fast.

You skip quality and detail.
When your task requires precision and accuracy, too much speed can lead to critical mistakes. For example, doctors, engineers, lawyers and financial managers should pay close attention to details, but can also do their jobs perfectly while going fast.
You make impulsive decisions that hurt you.
Quick decisions without considering your purpose and all the relevant information can lead to long-term negative outcomes. Instead, quickly gather all the information and take your time on the decision.
You do not make progress toward your goals.
Speed can make you focus only on short-term gains rather than long-term accomplishment. If you move too fast, you can skip important steps or miss opportunities for better paths. Start by creating a terrific plan and then kick butt!
You cause effects others cannot easily experience.
Rapid responses or decisions during stressful situations can lead to misunderstandings or hurt feelings. For example, you send a hasty email without considering its tone or rushing through a conversation without listening to the other person. As a result, you lose the person’s support until you repair the upset, so quickly fix the problem so you can continue moving with speed.
You might create confusion.
If speed becomes the highest priority for everything, you can actually hurt your productivity. Some things should be done faster than other things. If you treat everything as urgent, you can create confusion, build stress and lose sight of your goals. Give highest priority to fast, but orderly, progress toward your goals.
