Bob Proctor is an author, lecturer, counselor, business consultant, entrepreneur and teacher preaching the gospel of positive thinking, self-motivation and maximizing human potential. In that endeavor he follows in the footsteps of such motivational giants as Napoleon hill, Earl Nightingale and Wallace D. Wattles. But Proctor carries the messages of these great teachers a step higher and explains in terms understood by tots and tycoons alike how a person goes about recognizing one's potential and how to apply this effort in setting and achieving life goals.
Perhaps the reason Bob Proctor is so insightful into the factors that limits peoples' success is rooted in the fact that he lived an aimless, purposeless existence for the first 26 years of his own life. Born in a little town in Northern Ontario, CA with the low self-esteem that often befalls a family's middle child, he performed poorly in school, dropped out, and did a hitch in the Navy. Afterward he drifted from one dead-end job to another, until a friend recognized a potential in Bob that he had no awareness of himself. The friend introduced Bob to the concept of self-development through Napoleon Hill's classic book Think and Grow Rich. With the spark generated by Hills' work, Proctor found the initiative to start an office cleaning business which he grew to international scope in his first year of operations.
Bob sees himself as an educator with a gift to reveal to others the secrets that turned his life around, and the incredible power and potential they hold within themselves. An unabashed entrepreneur, his philosophies are set forth in his international bestseller You Were Born Rich, where he encourages people to prepare for their own success by revising their attitudes toward wealth.
"Many of our decisions are made purely on the mental reflexes we've built up through similar decisions made hundreds of times over the years," he says. "In fact, we spend a great deal of our lives on autopilot." Bob Proctor does his best to get people off autopilot and into success.
This extraordinary teaching ability has won Proctor acclaim around the globe and carried the Canadian-born motivator to the far reaches of the Earth. His client list includes corporations such as Metropolitan Life Insurance, Prudential, Malaysia Airlines, and Re/Max Real Estate. Unlike many programs which convince you that you can do anything you set out to do, Bob Proctors' programs complete the creative cycle by explaining what you must do, why you must do it, and, more importantly, how you must do it.
