How To Make Your First Million | Bob Proctor

you know for the benefit of all the people watching our company does phenomenal job and it's because of the company and the people in the company you know I've often mentioned in a hotel if you take we were doing a lot of work in hotels if you take all the employees out of the hotel you don't have a hotel any longer you have a building full of stuff and that same applies to a company if you take the people out of a company you don't have a company anymore you just got a building with a

whole lot of stuff we have such a phenomenal group of people right all the way through the company doesn't matter what their position and Mikey is an absolutely incredible example of a person that has taken this information and used it now I'm going to introduce you to a couple other people today that have taken this information and use it they've gone on a different road but doing the same thing when Mikey started with us she had been working as a nanny she was just fresh air from in the west from Oklahoma where she was raised

I believe on a farm and she was taking care of two little kitties for a couple she had no business experience but she was inquisitive I remember one day I was in a seminar with her and I was reading a book and she asked me what I was reading and it was the Edinburgh lectures by mental science of mental science and um very very heavy book and I said you want it she said yes so I just signed the book and gave it to her now I did that with Phil goldfine too Phil goldfine became

an phenomena in the m in the movie business well Mikey started to study that and then she started to study everything else and Sandy Raves about just how organized this woman is and how what a good job she does xandy who is our chief executive officer and president she made Mikey our chief operating officer and marketing director and here's a person starts out as a nanny and becomes a senior executive and a company we operate all over the world I think Mike is an excellent example of what a person can do if they study this

information we have a couple other people that you're talking to here Tommy Coler was a a consultant with our company and we brought him in as our creative director and absolutely creative just a phenomenal job I mean he um he makes sure all the tear are across and all the eyes are dotted from a creative perspective the guy's head is just it's a beautiful place to go visit I'll tell you Arash BAGI had been working I think for a printing company I'm not quite sure about that now but I think so I don't believe he

had earned a 100 or if he had he just earned a 100 Arash is without question one of the greatest sales men and sales managers I have ever met a great great leader of people well we have people like that down through the company and it makes such a difference I often talk with Sandy Gallagher who's my business partner and we talk about how fortunate we are to have the team we have it makes all the difference in the world I was talking to Jen's she um an interesting lady she and her husband have built

an enormous company I was looking one day she was the number one earner in network marketing she had earned more Millions than anybody else started with nothing it makes perfect sense that she and her husband Joshua should build such a successful company um I like mixing with people who are very successful Now by that I mean very goal oriented very studious great students if you're not a great student you're not going to go much further than you are now what I want to show you today if you um flip the slides up Scott what I

want to show you today I want to welcome you back here first I want to show you where I started a man sat down with me and he wrote an r on a sheet of paper then he put three letters down beside it two hes and a dou and he said Bob let this represent happiness health and wealth then he asked me if I thought he was a happy person and I said yeah I didn't know him that well but he seemed pretty happy to me he said have you ever seen me sick and I

never had he said have you ever seen me when I was broke this guy always had money on him and I noticed that because I never had any I mean I was always broke now at that time you could buy five gallons of gas for $2 I was always trying to find somebody who would lend me $2 to get five gallons of gas just to keep the car going I was not in a good place I was an unhappy guy he said have you ever seen me where was broken I said no well he saidou

know you've got to be one of the most miserable people Bob I've ever met he didn't know me that well but he had known me for a little while and he said you're always sick and he said you're always broke now he was actually being kind I was earning $4,000 at the time a year but I owed $6,000 you see I I could never get ahead of the game I didn't know the six in one place I Ed all over the place 100 here 50 there so everybody was always after me for money I would

they were getting me upset I would get angry I owe them the money and I'm getting angry I mean I was totally off track and he said Bob why don't you change your results I'm going to tell you that God's truth it never entered my mind it never entered my mind that I could change my results and I think there's a lot of people living like that there's probably people on this call like that you just never really look at your results and think they're your results in life and you can change them and he

said you ever study anything and I said no I I can't read he said well that wasn't true you see I could read not very well but he said Bobby said the secret of the ages is locked up in books in fact Robert Coler back in 1934 wrote a book called The Secret of the ages and he had the secret of the ages in that book Robert CER was a great writer well Napoleon Hill wrote this book and he said Bob he spent his whole life writing this book 500 of the world's most accomplished individuals

that's what this book's about he studied their lives he was like a scientist studying their lives and he took all this information and put it together now he actually put it together in eight books I'll show you I've got those eight books right here if you take a look I've got them tilted forward you see can you see those Scott yeah there they are I have Mary morsey's picture she just sent me this picture to my once in a lifetime friend Mary Morse is a wonderful woman and I put her here because her suit is

the color of the books she's red but these are eight books that Napoleon Hill wrote at the command of Andrew Carnegie who was the wealthiest man in the world thank you Scott then he took those eight books and he wined it down and he put it in one book think can grow Rich he said Bob if you will do exactly what I tell you and read this every day you can have anything you want now when you take a guy that's unhappy sick and broke he's earning $4,000 he owes six I dropped out of school

in grade nine I had two months high school I had no business experience and he's telling me I can have anything I want see there's there was no foundation for and how could I believe that I couldn't believe it but you know something I believed he believed it and looking back I operated on his belief and sometimes that's what you're going to do in one year I was earning 175,000 in less than five years I was earning over a million dollars a year and I was doing that cleaning offices by the way I was prepared

to do anything honest to clean off to earn money and the guy said there's good money cleaning offices if you're doing it for yourself I got into contract some buckets and mops and I did it for myself in 5 years we were doing Toronto Montreal Boston Cleveland Atlanta London England earning over a million dollars a year and I was being very irresponsible I was just throwing the money all over the place and one day I come out of the Playboy club on Park Lane in London England because I was living over there it was right

beside the London hillt it's gone now of course and I'd been there and play with that I didn't care if I lost they usually won because I thought I know where the money is but it was almost like I had some kind of euphoric experience and I thought this is not right what I'm doing this is just not right and I thought how did my life change so dramatically my mind went back when I had nothing when Ry first met me what actually happened and you know something I didn't know I did not know but

there was a metamorphosis had taken place in my life there was such a phenomenal change and I didn't know what had happened so I made up my mind I was going to find out it took me 9 and a half years but I found out exactly why Bob changed and when I found out all I want to do is teach other people what I had learned I thought there's must be a lot of people that are where I was and they don't know how to change school doesn't teach us how to control our life but

we can be in control of our life God gave us that ability well I started to study it and I started to teach it and I'm still doing it many many years later 60 years after I picked this up I am still going strong now I want you to look at this for a moment this is a very important paragraph he said there's a difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it no one's ready for a thing until they believe that they can acquire the State of Mind must be belief and

Not Mere hope or wish now he says Clos Minds will not Inspire Faith courage or belief you've got to believe he said no one is ready for a thing until they believe and he pointed out that was the key you got to believe now you see somewhere along Ong the line my belief system shifted I had a mentor a phenomenal mentor of Val Vandal I had a number of mentors in my life and I'm going to tell you something if you don't have someone that you're learning from you should find someone because I honestly believe

everybody has to have a mentor somebody that you respect somebody that you trust and then you've got to do exactly what they tell you that's what I've done I was having lunch with Val one day and just in idle conversation he said our belief system is based upon our evaluation of something and frequently if we re-evaluate a situation our belief about it will change now listen I'd been studying the Bible the bhad Gita the Quran the Torah all the Book of Mormon all the religious books because I know there's only two places to go to

find out something about yourself one is religion or Theology and the other is science and I was studying both sides of the track I just could not get enough information I wanted to find out why did I change why did someone that was such an absolute mess bring order and prosperity into their life how did it happen well it happened because my belief system changed he said our belief system is based upon our evaluation of something and frequently if we re-evaluate a situation our belief about it will change and all of a sudden it done

done me that's why my life has changed I have been studying all this material I've been studying this book every day like he said but I've studied all this material all the great authors and most of them go back over a hundred years and you know what happened I was studying me and my belief of what I could do changed and as my belief system changed everything changed and look at here he says remember no more effort is required in order to aim high on life to demand abundance and prosperity than is required to accept

misery and poverty so let's take a look how it changes here's a person here okay there's the mind and the body now there's senses but there's a power flowing into our Consciousness as this power flows into our Consciousness we can build images with it and we build the image of the good we desire and then we're told to get emotionally involved with those images and they'll move into form but something happens we get emotionally involved and what happens the results aren't there the results are not there the images fixed in our subconscious mind control our

vibration and our vibration controls what we attract so you see you made the image you did exactly what you said you got emotionally involved but your results are not there what's the matter the Paradigm must be altered before your new image can move into form if you don't get rid of that Paradigm if you don't change that Paradigm nothing changes you see through repetition of listening to all this material and studying it my Paradigm shifted now look it pay attention here this could be one of the most important slides that you'll look at this is

you here's a power flowing into your conscious mind and you've got the ability to build an image of the good that you desire in 1973 I took my pen and I sat down and I said I'm going to build a company that operates all over the world Sandy gallager joined me in 19 I don't know it was 15 16 years ago I forgotten what date it was and she bought into that idea all of our chief Executives bought into that idea there little B A little over a month ago Mikey Stellar phoned me one night

she said Bob I thought you'd like to know we just went into every country in the world the image was fulfilled but not by accident you see I knew that there was a paradigm there and I knew I had to get emotionally involved regardless of the Paradigm I had to see the good that I desire I had to feel it with my emotions and I knew if I did if I could plant that that image in my subjective mind that I would realize it in my material world spirit always manifest through its polar opposite now

look it the image you impress upon your subconscious mind controls your vibration your vibration controls what you attract and that's where your results come from there's no accident but you've got to know to get emotionally involved with your idea you've got to override that Paradigm it's not an easy thing to do but you can do it now look here for a moment many people believe that success is a matter of being in the right place at the right time I talked about Janice wiel she wasn't in the right place at the right time she recognized

an opportunity and acted on it that's what I did I'm going to introduce you to a couple of people done that see many people believe that success is a matter of being in the right place at the right time I'm going to tell you something you got to believe that you're in the right place at the right time you got to be aware of it you've got to be aware that you are in the right place at the right time I believe that there's opportunities surrounding you all the time now look it pay attention here

we're talking about levels of awareness we talked about that the first day you've got to create awareness well there's many levels you start out on an animalistic level and you end up here on a master's level so you end up I just held a little baby My little great granddaughter was here I was holding my arm she was only six months old little tiny baby she reacts to everything in life her parents respond to everything in life that is the difference that's what you grow you develop it you see when you react it's fight or

flight when you respond to whatever is happening you think and plan so when things happen around you you don't react to it you respond to it now look it you go to the next one and you're following I got to fix that right now all right hold on this a mess well the second one is follow the masses I'll have to fix it later it's too tricky there you go from reacting to following the masses that's where the paradigms really come up now something happens you're following the masses you're locked in you're following the crowd

that you're hanging out with and something happens inside of you you aspire to something greater than what you've got that aspiration is a desire for something greater than what you've got that happened to me when I was given this book something happened inside of me I aspired for something greater than what I had I developed a desire for something and that desire came to me and then why does it come because you're an individual and you want to express your uniqueness as an individual you are God's highest form of creation there is nothing like you

you are unique you want to express your uniqueness now look what happens the desire wants to express itself because you want to express your uniess and the Paradigm is pulling you back the Paradigm pulls you back and the desire is pulling you ahead so it's back and forth back and forth and what happens you realize that if you have discipline if you give yourself a command and follow it you're going to win but you know something you start that and the Paradigm pulls and the discipline dissipates it's gone and you find again that it was

just a wish and you're stuck you're absolutely stuck pull that down you're trying so hard and you're startu now look it having trouble here okay in the wrong place with that here we are get it up to there man I'm messing this up there you've been trying but you're stuck the Paradigm pulls you back your desire is pulling youread and then one day you realize that you can change all this discipline is the ability to give yourself a command and follow it wants and disciplines must be connected if you really want something and you're not

disciplined you're going to have trouble you're just going to cause yourself frustration you've got to bring discipline into your life discipline is the ability to give yourself a command and follow it now look it when you do that and you start to see that the discipline is falling apart and it's turning into a wish you just say no and you stop it right there you just stop it right there and you say this is that I'm going ahead and so you move ahead and you get up into an experience that's where you really learn by

the experience your actions change your results you see you took a new idea and you acted on it and everything in your life started to shift everything shifted your whole life changed and here you find yourself now in control you think and you plan your resp responding and everything in your life changed now there's only two ways to change that Paradigm look at here one is concious based repetition of an idea and the other is an emotional impact let that line represent the sound of my voice could be the sound of a recording the red

line represents you listening to the sound of the recording and all of a sudden an idea hits in a way you go on a thought trip now you're up here on a thought trip but let's understand while you're up here thinking that recording is still playing and you're not listening to it you hear it but you're not listening there's a difference between hearing and listening and then you come back down you start to listen again and you move along and bang another idea hits and Away you go on another thought trip and that's the way

it goes all the way through the recording now look here if you want to change your Paradigm you've got to realize how the Paradigm was formed it was formed through repetition of ideas and that's the way this is going to be formed by listening to this same recording maybe a thousand times you'll hit on the same idea a number of times but if you just listen once it isn't going to happen you put it on the second time where do you stop you stop over here you're not stopping where you stopped last time at all

you see there's no way that this is going to happen that you're going to stop in the same place every time just not going to do it and that's what you have to do so it's the repe of playing this over and over and over again now understand it's 5% strategy and it's 95% mindset you've really got to get into the mindset it's all repetition it's all repetition now I'm going to show you something about making a decision then I'm going to introduce you to a couple of people that made big decisions and they were

very well rewarded here's something about a decision there's Andrew Carnegie in Napoleon Hill Andrew Carnegie was the wealthiest man in the world when he took on the job of mentoring Napoleon Hill now Napoleon Hill was a young reporter for a magazine and the magazine was doing an article on wealthy people heill locked out he got a three-hour interview with Andrew Carnegie who was the wealthiest man in the world at the time what he didn't know is that Andrew Carnegie was looking for someone like Napoleon Hill he was looking for someone that would vote and rate

the laws of achievement he had introduced he had inter intered over 250 people and he never found the right person but while Hill was interviewing Carnegie Carnegie was sizing up hill at the end of the three-hour interview Andrew Carnegie said to Napoleon he said this interview isn't ending it's just beginning I want you to come home with me and he took him home and for three days he explained how he became the wealthiest man in the world he had come from Scotland as a little boy with his parents family had nothing they started out with

nothing so here's a little boy mov to the east coast of the United States from Scotland and they had nothing and he became the wealthiest man in the world and he took three hours and explained the whole philosophy to Hill and then at the end of the three hours he said Napoleon I'm ask I'm going to ask you a question and I just want a yes or a no answer listen carefully he's I'm going to ask you a question and I just want a yes or a no answer what he didn't tell him is you

only give him 60 seconds to answer the question if you're going to come to work work with me and you take longer than 10 seconds to answer a question I don't want you to work with me because I'm following the principle he followed that's why he had the stopwatch he asked him an important question and he said would you spend the rest of your life working on an idea that you would probably receive no material compensation for at least 20 years in 29 seconds he'll said he would 29 seconds he found out later heill Carnegie

had only give him 60 seconds after he did this he sitting on Napoleon you're going to have a problem he said everything in you is going to want to quit long before your project is finished and he said I'm going I'm not going to subsidize you I'll give you no money you're going to have to earn your own way but he said I'm I'm going to introduce you to some of the wealthiest and some of the most accessible people in the world and I want you to interview them and I want you to write the

laws of achievement it an enormous job took him 20 years it was in 1908 he did that it was in 1928 those books I just showed you were published I've got a set of them sitting there behind me now this is a big idea this was a very big idea and you know he'll asked him one question and here's the question he said I want you to take this affirmation and I want you to study it I want you to memorize it here it is Andrew Carnegie I'm not only going to equal your achievements in

life but I'm going to challenge you at the post and pass you at the grandstand they said I want want you to repeat that every day he'll threw his pencil on the floor now he says now you know darn well that's not going to happen and car you said I know it's not Napoleon unless and until you bury that idea in your subconscious mind now he said will you read this every morning and every night looking in the mirror while you read it well he said I could do that for 30 days he said I

could do that he didn't believe this would happened first time he read it he locked himself in the bathroom because he didn't want his brother to hear him was living with him and he whispered it Andrew Carnegie I'm not only going to equal your achievements in life but I'm going to challenge you at the post and passion of the grand stand now listen I found out through studying Andrew Carnegie made something like 50 millionaires Napoleon Hill has made millions of millionaires he accomplished what Andrew car you want him to accomplish he answered the question in

29 seconds now here's another one there's John Kennedy talking to Dr Warner Von BR when Dr War Von BR both gone now God bless him he was the father of the space program that was The Mastermind behind us getting to the moon and carneg or Hill John Kennedy asked him he said do what would it take to build a rocket that will carry a person to the moon and bring him back safely to Earth and his answer was the will to do it just the will to do it what would it take he said the

will to do it 10 seconds he gave the answer see these were enormous questions that were asked what would it take to build a rocket to the moon 10 seconds he gave him an answer he knew that if a person made their mind up and that's what they focused on that's how you focus is with the will they would do it now look it I'm going to show you something here about decision then I'm going to talk to a couple of people that made big decisions now think of this for a moment people I was

talking to understand the laws and that's why they accomplished what they accomplished let these lines represent levels of vibration okay every level of vibration is connected to the one above and the one below there is no line of demarcation everything in this universe is connected that's the first thing we've got to understand what ever we want if we get on the frequency that it's on we're connected to it pay attention to this this is so important let's suppose that's your phone and let's suppose this is my phone and I have your number and I phone

you we're connected we can look at each other we can talk to each other now we seem to have a basic understanding of this when it come to using our phones however when it comes to life we get l lost I don't know if most people even understand what they're doing they just dial and start talking they don't know what the hell they're doing they don't understand that they put themselves on a frequency that that's what this phone does they don't know that now think if that works there where else would it work well let's

look and see where it works there's levels of vibration and they're referred to as frequencies we think on a frequency you and I think on a frequency let these thoughts represent your thoughts now really pay attention here this is so important we're trying to do this in a short period of time I mean I've done this for 60 years look at this they're your thoughts and that's why you're getting the results you're getting now if you're not doing well it's because of the thinking it's not because of how hard you're trying it's the thinking that

gives you the results and you'll say well that's not what I want this is what I want I mentioned that before my mind is a center of divine operation Divine operation is always for expansion and Fuller expression there's something in me there's something in you that's never satisfied with where you're at I was a little boy my grandmother pretty well raised me and Grandma used to say you should be satisfied with what you've got now she was a dear woman she was just like an angel of God and this came one time when she was

sleeping and took her home but she was wrong you should never be satisfied you should be happy with what you've got but always dissatisfied you see it's the spirit within you wan to express itself in a greater way that causes a dissatisfaction you say that's what I want now here's where the mistakes fly in that's what I want I'm going to get it as soon as I get the money I want you to look around the room you're in I'm thinking you're probably at home I'm in my studio I see chairs and tables and cushions

and cameras I see them all over the place do you know I don't need anything that is in this room do you know why I've got it I got it because I wanted it you don't need anything that's in the room you're in well there may be one or two things you do need but you got it because you wanted it when you really want something you will always find the money for it that's a law write that down for goodness sake write it down and don't ever forget it when you really want something you

will always find the money when you say that's what I want and I'm going to do it as soon as I get the money you're on the wrong track and pretty soon pretty soon you're saying that's what I want and then you're making this decision the decision will fade long before you get it and pretty soon then the decision Fades and then next thing the goal Fades and you never went there at all no why not you're on the wrong track you see you're thinking down here on this frequency and your goals are way up

here on this frequency now pay attention here that' be like listening to an AM band on your radio and wondering why you're not getting FM music you're never going to get FM music when you're on an AM band you're on on a frequency that's much too low well when you're talking about the results you're getting that's a frequency that's much lower you got to go on that higher frequency you got to get up there and you got to think and act like that you've got to begin to think and act like the person you want

to become now play attention to what I'm saying you got to make a committed decision you're going to do it then you've got to think and act now what happened here you're thinking up there and you're not down there anymore here's the thing what about all your friends down there what are they going to say when you start thinking and acting like this you're going to start acting like like you've already got your goal you say who do you think you are and you know it's important what our friends think of us and so we

stop doing it you got to stick with it you've got to stay with it want is the only prerequisite for making a decision I don't care what it is you want if you want it you will always find everything that is essential to get it I wanted to build a company that operates all over the world it took me from 1973 to 2021 and I never gave up that picture I knew I knew that if I held a picture in my mind it had to happen and look it you keep doing this that's why successful

people make decisions so fast that is why that is why Dr Warner Von Brun told President John Kennedy that he needed to make a decision to go to the Moon all he need needed was the will to do it that's all you need to get to where you want to go you just have to control the flow you're in a massive energy you're God's highest form of creation and when you start to control the flow you're a way you're a way to the races now I've talked about some interesting things I'm going to introduce a

lady right now to jie cardi now listen I want you to listen carefully you remember I said early in the presentation sometimes you may have to quit the job you're at to get what you want this lady had a very good job I mean a real good job but she wasn't getting what she wanted so she quit
