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 message of these great teachers a step higher and
explains in terms understood by tots and tycoons alike how a person
goes about recognizing the potential and how to apply this effort in
setting and achieving life goals. As an attendee at one of Proctor's
seminars put it: "Bob Proctor. brings all the great wisdom of Napoleon
Hill, Wallace Wattles and others into a coherent whole that anyone can
take home and apply." |

How
did you get started in your current line of work? |
| BP: |
I
read Think & Grow Rich and I did what it said to do. It changed my life. |
| GS: |
What
were the 3 biggest obstacles you had to overcome? |
| BP: |
There
was really only one obstacle I had to overcome and that was believing
in lack & limitation. We must understand that there is an infinite supply.
All you have to do is ask. Remember that givers always gain. |
| GS: |
The
famous book As a Man Thinketh by James Allen tells us when we "Conquer
doubt and fear.we conquer failure." Let me ask you.What is the biggest
thing you do to help you conquer doubt and fear? |
| BP: |
I
think about what doubt and fear have given me in the past and decided
I didn't want it anymore. Now I hit everything head on. I used to believe
that courageous people had no fear. Now I know that there is no courage
without fear. |
| GS: |
What
2 books have influenced you the most? Why? |
| BP: |
Think
& Grow Rich and The Science of Getting Rich, because they made me aware
of the greatness that lives inside each of us. |
| GS: |
What
is your greatest Bill Gove story you could share with our readers? |
| BP: |
Chicago,
1968. I was working for Nightingale-Conant Corporation at the time.
So I'm walking through the Hyatt Regency Hotel and I hear this roaring
laughter coming from the ballroom. I went inside and stood in the back
of the hall. There were 5 or 600 people in the audience and they were
completely mesmerized. I had never seen anything like it in my life.
The guy was great. I later learned that the speaker was Bill Gove, the
father of professional speaking. That was the day I decided I was going
to be a speaker. Bill Gove instilled in me the desire to speak. He's
been the model I have followed for over 30 years. And let me add this:
if you have not attended his speech workshop-stop whatever you're doing
and sign up now! |
| GS: |
You
have already made your first million. What advice can you give the rest
of us who may still be looking to make our first million? |
| BP: |
Do
everything Bill Gove and Steve Siebold tell you to do. Don't question
it-just do it! Their advice will magnetize you to big bucks. |
| GS: |
How
importantly would you rank mental toughness and the ability to communicate
as it relates to your success and why? |
| BP: |
Mental
Toughness is vitally important. You can't win without it. It's absolutely
essential if you want to block the negative forces coming at us everyday.
The ability to communicate success to others is the only way to win.
You receive what you givebut you must give first. |
| GS: |
If
you had to start over again.what would you NOT do again? |
| BP: |
I
would not question people like Bill Gove, Steve Siebold, Larry Wilson
and other successful people. I would just do what they said. |
| GS: |
What
is the reason most people don't achieve their major goals and dreams? |
| BP: |
They
don't follow the advice of the wise ones. The individual who wants to
win should find someone who is winning & model him or her. The Tiger
program is a perfect example. It's already provenall you have to do
is follow the system. |
| GS: |
Who
were your role models/mentors, and what is it that you saw in them? |
| BP: |
Earl
Nightingale, Lloyd Conant and Bill Gove. I saw that they loved what
they were doing and they were always trying to improve. They never stopped
learning. Bill Gove is almost 90 years old and he is still always trying
to get better at what he does. |
