Bob Proctor On Wealth Creation

By Eddie H. Gillis


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.

He quickly decided to put the ideas outlined in the book to use. The first thing he did was take a figure he wanted to make, write it down, concentrate on it and keep it in his pocket. The initial sum of $25,000 may seem modest by today's standards, but in 1961, it was several times the average blue-collar wage in Toronto, even someone so lucky as to have a steady and lucrative position such as a city employee. To the protests of his brother fire fighters, he quit anyhow.Shortly, he'd started up a janitorial company that specialized in cleaning offices. Just twelve months after that, he was the head of a nation-wide janitorial chain and had made several times his original goal. Within a few years, he was a millionaire. Clearly the book had some sort of effect. He felt compelled to share this success with others through sharing the secret he'd learned.

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.

In the mid 1970's Proctor decided to begin his career as a life-coach and continues, 30 years later, in that capacity. In the ensuing years, Bob has taught executives at scores of companies such as Prudential and Metropolitan Life as well as Malaysian Airlines.He continued to seek new material to explain why some people were successful and some were not. Dr. C. Harry Roder of San Antonio's Concept Therapy Institute, Eric Hoffer of The True Believer fame and Leland Von Syring are among those Bob made the acquaintance of during his travels to work with corporate clients. They gave Bob indispensable advice that he's incorporated into his programs and seminars. Any time he noticed his life was going along much more smoothly than before, he sought out the nugget of wisdom and investigated it. The resulting program is, in essence, his life's work.

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 11 Forgotten Laws are a set of Universal Laws in the vein of the Law of Attraction. In fact, Bob Proctor was a featured speaker in the movie "The Secret." But not long ago this popular motivational and success author boldly announced that the Law of Attraction as presented in the movie the "The Secret" was "pop culture fluff". In response to his belief that there was more that needed to be known, he is presenting the Bob Proctor 11 Forgotten Laws.You may have heard all of that before. But how can you get information and reviews on of the individual laws and what is in the program? Have you been looking for reviews from someone who has used and studied the program? When the book and the movie "The Secret" reached massive popularity, Bob Proctor says that what finally reached the public was a watered down version of the Law of Attraction. Many people were not familiar with some of the original new thought authors such as Napoleon Hill, Wallace Wattles, Ernest Holmes, Emmett Fox, and H. Emilie Cady, or James Allen. If they had been, it's likely they would have reached the same conclusion. Although following three steps to manifest your desires seems attractive, the power of our minds is much more comprehensive than we realize.

Although, just as the Secret was no secret, I don't believe the Bob Proctor 11 Forgotten Laws have been forgotten at all. These Laws of Thought however, have been ignored in the media frenzy attached to the Law of Attraction.Bob Proctor, along with Mary Morrissey, has put together a set of lessons on the 11 Forgotten Laws. Many people have tried to use the Law of Attraction based on incomplete information. When their results have not meant with their expectations, they have given up when in fact they were missing some very important pieces of information.If that has been your experience, instead of giving up, you may have started to look around at something like the 11 Forgotten Laws.

"You Were Born Rich" is written in a straight forward way that is easy to read and understand. In this book Bob Proctor lays out a plan that if followed will give you the success that you are looking for. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific action or group of tasks that the author suggests you follow that will lead you to success. Bob Proctor encourages you to savour the book the way you would enjoy a glass of fine wine. Read the book and think about what the author has written.

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.
