Bob Proctor - A Review Of The Life And Works Of Bob Proctor: The Author Of 'you Were Born Rich'

By Esme Chau


Born in 1935 as the middle child of a modest family in northern Ontario, Canada, Robert Proctor was not an outstanding youth. Born into a worldwide depression that only gave way for a Second World War, Bob (like many of his peers) just wasn't interested in school. As a result, he didn't do very well, eventually dropping out after just a few months of high school.Even in the 1950s there were few lucrative career choices for high-school dropouts, so he soon joined the Canadian Navy for a four-year stint. After a mostly uneventful stint, he came home to Ontario, settling down in Toronto to work as a fire fighter. He has since described himself during this period as being "broke, sick and miserable." So, when his friend Ray Stanford gave him a copy of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, he was ready for a change.

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.

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.

Feeling inspired by the book, Bob Proctor earned his first success when he put up an office cleaning business. His business grew into a nationwide chain in just one year. He went to Chicago to work under his mentor Earl Nightingale, who guided him into deeper knowledge and understanding of the Law of Attraction. After being promoted the position of vice president of sales, he started a company teaching people a better understanding of the countless possibilities of the human potential. Bob Proctor has been traveling locally and abroad to share his learning about human potentials through speaking engagements and seminars. He then created several self-help books and programs to meet the high demands of people about his ideas and methods on the human potential.

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.

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.

Another problem with trying to find out if the 11 Forgotten Laws will work for you, is finding reviews by people who have had experience using and the studying the program.If you are looking for a more in dept look at just what is in the Bob Proctor 11 Forgotten Laws program, take a look at each one of these universal laws.
