## Early Life

When Proctor was born in Ontario in Canada, he was not who he thought he would be today. By the age of 26, he was a high school dropout, was having a great deal of difficulty in finding a job and was unclear of what his future would be like.

It was then that nature recognized his true potential and he found himself reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and this book, which had inspired a great many people before him, became the turning point of his life as well which from then on took off towards an upward spiral unwilling to come down.

He started working in many different companies around the world over the next twelve months where he offered services to clean and opened up his own company as well. In order to get something to learn, he decided to join Nightingale-Conant from where he received firsthand tutoring by the infamous Earl Nightingale.

## Meeting Earl Nightingale

In order to receive mentoring by Earl Nightingale, Proctor moved to Chicago where the time he spent with Nightingale yielded him much inspiration and shaped him to be a better person in general. The coaching that he received changed his life forever and made him greatly prosperous.

He climbed ranks quickly at the Nightingale-Conant and soon became Vice President of Sales. As the organization that he was working with Nightingale in was all about teaching personal growth and development, Proctor got the idea that he should open up his own seminar company to deliver motivational lectures on the subject of self help to others.

So from then on, Bob Proctor has been making efforts to get people to recognize their inner selves and then excel at that which they wish to do. His company brought many students from the US and Canada who soon started to climb up in their lives. Currently, Bob also travels around the world, inspiring people on his journeys with all the speeches that he makes in his seminars.

## It's not about Money Philosophy

While Proctor has firm belief that everyone should live a lush life full of pomp and luxury, he explains that his work is not about money philosophy solely. He also attempts to bring people to be better in moral and ethical aspects of their personality so that everyone would understand the ranks of priorities and not simply run on a rat chase after monetary benefits solely because that would only further materialize the society. He further admits that if one concentrates on genuinely helping people the money will come automatically and there is no need to worry about them at all.

## How our Mind Works

Bob has a very interesting idea about how the human mind works and he places emphasis on how, in order to be successful, one must understand this. He differentiates between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind and how our capabilities lie in different allocations of both of these fields. He greatly stresses on on how in order to achieve success, one must foremost always have a positive attitude towards life.

Secondly, he establishes that one should use their creativity and imagination as that is where the individuality hence uniqueness lies. He also enhances the importance of focus by listing it as one of the prerequisites for any achievement. Most importantly, he talks about self belief and how it is gravely important for every person to realize and acknowledge their self worth and capabilities and how mental hunts in order to achieve this are beneficial.
