Bob Proctor on Wealth Creation

By Sharon R. Upchurch


Bob Proctor was born in 1935 in a family of humble folks as the middle child in Ontario, Canada. While growing up, he wasn't what you would call an exceptional youth. Due to the wide-reaching depression during his growing up days, Bob wasn't fascinated by studies. Consequently, he didn't excel at studies and eventually dropped out after barely a handful of months in high school.

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.

Today, Bob Proctor presides over seminars worldwide and disseminates his message though several media companies he steers. Coaching Consulting Program is offered along with materials designed to educate users on human motivations that do or don't lead to success. He continues to offer a twelve-month coaching program through his website that promises to be a rigorous and intensive series materials and conference calls. He has written numerous books on the topics of getting what you want out of life and fulfilling goals since the 1960s including The Success Puzzle, The Winner's Image, The Goal Achiever and his highly influential and best-selling, You Were Born Rich. Most recently he's been featured on the phenomenally successful movie The Gift, as an interviewee and philosopher. With other experts from the film Bob has been conducting seminars to teach people how to use the power of thought to propel themselves into the powerful people they can become. Bob claims to be spry as ever, in his early 70s, expressing sincere gratitude for his good fortune and abundance every day. He remains committed to the teaching of his system for attaining personal satisfaction.

Bob Proctor together with Mary Morrissey created the 11 Forgotten Laws to fill-in the missing components of the conventional understanding of the Law of Attraction. These 11 laws expand on the Law of Attraction to achieve its great effects. The 11 laws are the principles that formed the whole universe and do not work individually but together as one. To understand the Law of Attraction is to understand the whole 11 laws that formed the universe.The Law of Attraction is just one of the 11 laws of the universe. The 10 others are the law of thinking, supply, receiving, increase, compensation, non-resistance, forgiveness, sacrifice, obedience, and success. People who fail to understand these laws will find themselves unsuccessful in tapping the powers of the Law of Attraction.Bob Proctor has been continuing his mission of teaching people the power of the Law of Attraction for over 40 years now. The key to more wealth, good health, or lasting relationship is through positive thinking and action.Bob Proctor is a famous author, counselor, speaker, entrepreneur, business consultant, and teacher teaching the people the ways to maximize the human potential, self-motivation, and positive thinking.

The Law of Success and the other 11 Forgotten Laws do not belong to Bob Proctor of course. They are Universal Laws of Life that are available for all of us. But Bob has been studying and teaching his understanding of the Law of Success for many years; so when talking about the 11 Forgotten Laws the presentation here is rightly called the Bob Proctor Law of Success because of his particular expertise.The underlying foundation of the Bob Proctor Law of Success presented in the 11 Forgotten Laws, is that the intention of the Universe is that everyone be set up to succeed. Bob and Mary Morrissey teach that it is God's purpose that we express all we are, and it is God's will that humankind should use and enjoy every good in the Universe.

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.
