Bob Proctor is an extraordinary teacher, author, counselor, business consultant, and entrepreneur.  He promotes positive thinking, self-motivation, achievement, and maximizing human potential for a better life.  His goal is to teach each person how to recognize his/her own potential and use it to set and achieve life’s goals.

Bob Proctor was born in Ontario, Canada, a middle child with low self-esteem, who lived for 26 years with no goals or purpose in his life.  Having dropped out of school, he bounced from one menial job to another.  Then, he joined the navy.  Eventually, a friend introduced Bob to Napoleon Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich, a classic of self-motivation.  Bob Proctor read the book and started an office cleaning business, which became an international company in one year!  That success motivated him to learn more about motivation and goal setting.  He went to study under a mentor, Earl Nightingale of the Nightingale-Conant organization.  He did well there and learned about the company’s personal development programs, but he wanted to take the message out on his own.

Bob Proctor created his own seminar company and established his reputation by challenging Prudential Life Insurance agents to write $5 million dollars in business in one year, which had never been done.  The performance of all the agents improved and more than one met Bob’s challenge.  Over the ensuing years, Bob Proctor has written: Mission in Commission, The Winner's Image, The Goal Achiever, The Success Series, The Success Puzzle, The Recruiting Puzzle, and Being Your Very Best. 

Bob Proctor is known all over the world.  He works with businesses to develop strategies that help employees improve and adapt to change.  What is best about Bob’s advice is that he doesn’t just motivate, he explains why change must take place, what to do, and how to do it.  Currently, Bob Proctor is lecturing about the X-Y Factor, which is the ability not just to believe you can achieve, but also to know you can achieve.  Bob Proctor discusses thirteen reasons why goals fail to be achieved.  He teaches how to set goals, think about them, act on them, and achieve them.
