This is The Ultimate Bob Proctor Library with legendary personal development philosopher, speaker, and teacher, Mr. Bob Proctor. We welcome you to this unique collection of great ideas in sound from a truly inspirational human being, a world-renowned expert on the mind, human potential, and success— whom I was also proud to call a friend and mentor. Bob Proctor, who passed away in February of 2022, packed more accomplishments and transformed more lives in his 87 years than most people ever contemplate. 

It’s certainly not the life that Bob thought was even possible during his childhood years growing up in Ontario, Canada. Bob routinely shared with his audiences how he was a child with a poor self-image and little ambition. Bob dropped out of high school, had a great deal of difficulty finding a job, and had no clear plans for his future. Then, at age 26, he was handed the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. It’s a book he would read repeatedly, and the spark of wisdom that Bob credits will alter the trajectory of his life and lead him on his own quest for the “secrets of success.”

It was then that Bob’s lifelong connection to Nightingale-Conant was established—as Bob’s quest led him to Earl Nightingale, the famed “Dean of Personal Development,” who soon became Bob’s colleague and mentor. 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. His coaching changed his life forever and made him greatly prosperous. He climbed ranks quickly at the Nightingale-Conant, working directly with Earl Nightingale and his co-founder Lloyd Conant, and soon Bob became Vice President of Sales.
