Bob Proctor - A Self-Help Professional

By Marie M. Clarke


Bob Proctor is the author of the book 'You were Born Rich' which talks about manifesting personal wealth in our lives and how he did it. He is also featured on the movie 'The Secret' that took America by storm. Bob Proctor is committed to showing by example. He tells us in his book how he began his journey very miserable, unhappy and broke. Instead of continuing down this path, his life was touched by Earl Nightingale and from that day forward, Bob Proctor developed himself into the powerful, focused, and actualized person he is today.

Bob Proctor teaches us that wealth creation is about so much more than creating wealth. It is about enriching our lives in every possible way. By taking the time to put his ideas into practice, it is possible to see great change and power occur on a fundamental level. He is one of the many great teachers of 'The Secret' along with Michael Beckwith and Jack Canfield. The teachings they espouse originate from the 'Law of Attraction' which essentially states that 'like unto itself is drawn' or 'like attracts like.' This teaches us that since our thoughts also respond to like energy, we will attract the subject of our thoughts to us if we continue to think the same things and become emotionally invested in those thoughts, then that is what we create.These concepts may not be new as many people are becoming aware of the truths that govern their daily lives. In fact on close inspection we can see how our focus directs our lives. When we decide on a new house and focus on it by holding the mental image in our mind, eventually we begin to take inspired action towards the realization of that vision. The program works by reminding us how to use what we already know to add wealth and beauty to our lives.

Bob was ready to learn more and he devoured all the books he could come across on the subject, many from the 19th century such as those by the proponents of the New Thought Movement. He continued to study and found a mentor in Earl Nightingale, creator of the gold record winning "The Strangest Secret," and voice of over 7,000 motivational radio broadcasts.A pioneer of the self-help movement that sprung up in the 1970s, Earl taught sales forces and housewives alike that "You become what you think," since it occurred to him "like a bolt out of the blue," while preparing an inspirational talk for insurance salesmen in 1958. Bob went to work with him as a content salesperson in Chicago, Illinois, and soon became Earl's right hand man.

Bob Proctor was born in Canada in the year 1935. He was never interested in education when he was on his younger years. He dropped out of high school later on. His career started when he joined the Canadian Navy and served for four years and worked at the fire department later on. It was not a good opportunity for him and had financial problems hunting him frequently. His life started to change when a friend gave him the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. This book changed Bob Proctor's life and made him earn $175,000 in one year then earning millions soon after.

The most significant principle outlined and highlighted in this book is the Law of Receiving. This exhorts people to give up the frenzied pursuit of wealth, as this can only be counterproductive. It asks them to slow down and take a moment to comprehend what they really require in life. This can lead to the point where people can do what they want when they want. It implores the readers not to hanker after wealth, as it will only lead to discontent and dejection.In conclusion, Bob Proctor has made it to the top by using self-help principles. He has conveyed these lessons in the book You Were Born Rich.

The Bob Proctor Law of Success taught in the 11 Forgotten Laws, is something that Bob knows well. He has been speaking and teaching success principles based on mental and spiritual truths for many years. Along with other well known motivational speakers and teachers who were featured in the movie "The Secret", Bob Proctor was already well known. But his specific Bob Proctor Law of Success has helped countless people reach their goals and see their desires fulfilled.

Bob Proctor is maybe best known as a speaker and star of the hit movie "The Secret". This book is the culmination of Bob Proctor's more than 40 years of study in the world of personal development and success. Bob Proctor was a high school drop out turned firefighter in Toronto Canada who owed more money than he made in a year. He discovered a book that changed his life and started him on a journey that began in 1961 and continues to this day. That book was "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. The year that Bob Proctor started to study that book he made over $100,000 dollars and then over $1 million dollars the next year. He wanted to know what caused him to change when no one around him was changing. He wanted to know how and what made him successful and the result of that study is the book "You Were Born Rich"

Emmett Fox says much the same thing in his writing. He has written that most people think of God's will as being negative, such as a death or sickness. Emmett Fox agrees with what is said in the Bob Proctor Law of Success when he says the Truth is that God's will for us is joy, abundance, success, happiness, love, peace and poise.From the study of all of the 11 Forgotten Laws we know that the right mental attitude and the quality of our thoughts are important. We are taught to attain and keep an attitude of Success. But these attitudes must be incorporated deeply, even down to the level of every cell of our being.

How does this apply to your life? What can you learn from the section you just read? Does what you have read cause you to think about other ways or ideas of doing things? Think about the actions suggested by the book and how you can apply them to your life.The premise that we are all born rich as is outlined in the title of the book was initially difficult to believe. After reading the book I believe that the author has fulfilled the promise of the title "You Were Born Rich". We are all born with the ability to become rich and each person will have a different definition of what rich is to them. If you study this book, not just read it but study it, you will discover that you were born rich. I firmly believe that if you follow the guidance in this book you will become rich, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I know that my life has improved in all these areas since I first read this book.
