How To START Creating WEALTH & ABUNDANCE Today | Bob Proctor & Lewis Howes

the great lesson is don't let what's going on program you in fact it's a good point to bring out right now because of this pandemic that's going on we must not let this program up welcome back everyone to the school of greatness podcast we have the legendary the inspirational Bob Proctor in the house Bob thank you so much sir for giving us your time today appreciate pleasure being here the last time we the last time we had you honor I think was a few years ago but we were talking beforehand it felt like a few months ago because we had such a great conversation people are still talking about it sharing it like crazy all over the Internet and I'm just so grateful for the years of experience I won't give your age but the decades of wisdom that is inside your heart and your minds and your way of being and I'm just so grateful for all that you do for Humanity by constantly lifting the consciousness up by lifting people's awareness their insights their capability to think abundantly as opposed to scarcely and I think people are in a place of uncertainty fear worry anxiety right now more than ever and how have you been that and I I know and how have you been coaching and supporting and educating people during a time of scarcity or fearful times for people how do you get people to start getting back to a place of abundance thinking when well we do a broadcast where we're very fortunate here we've built our own studio about four years ago and we can broadcast all over the world from here and so I've been doing the odd broadcast at least once a week good news by Bob Proctor and trying to help people become aware that although you cannot change conditions or circumstance you don't have to let them control you hmm we can't control what's going on outside but we can control what's going on inside you know and unfortunately I don't think many of us have been raised to really understand that yeah and it's a lack of understanding that's causing all our you know but huh I mean how can you say that to someone who's like well I don't feel like I have control on the inside when it seems like everything has power over me what's something that could still you know did you see the truth is for that person that would be true that they're being controlled by outside we look at it this way we are the only creature on the planet that's totally disoriented in our environment a little squirrels the birds every all the animals are completely at home in their environment they blend in you and I are totally disoriented in our environment we've been given the mental faculties to create our own environment however we go right through school we've never learned that we have higher faculties and the average person has no knowledge of how to operate with them how to develop them their perception the will raise an imagination memory and intuition now those mental faculties they're not just words they're actually mental faculties that we can use to take control over our whirling to create the environment that we want but unfortunately we grow up we don't know that we've been raised to live through by what we see hear smell taste and touch our physical senses and we've been raised to be controlled by what's going on outside as little kids will you listen to what I'm telling you will you look at this you know into it's all outside and we get our report card and that tells us what kind of student we are but it really tells us where mind was that for a few minutes three weeks ago you've got nothing to do with who we are hmm so I think we're were raised in ignorance actually there's a very small percentage of the population that have a reasonably clear understanding of who they are and what they're capable of doing but the ones that do are in the minority our whole company has been dedicated to teaching that to people for the last 57 powerful you talked about the five faculty to five mental faculties and I need touched on this briefly in our in our previous interview but I'm curious I have a new question for you which of the faculties typically is the hardest to I guess master or you know become a fishing in to use to your advantage and a positive way and which is the one that you feel like hurts us the most when we don't well I think reason is probably it's someone that's spoken about by almost all the great leaders yeah they've all been complete unanimous agreement that we become what we think about it's our reasoning factor that enables us to think ford says thinking's the hardest work there is which is the probable reason so few people engage in it mmm dr. ken mcfarland was gone for a long time now but he was a great educator down in kentucky he one time said two percent of the people think three percent think they think and ninety five percent would actually rather die than think now you know that sounds cute but it's true if you stop and listen to what most people are saying it's gonna be fairly obvious they're not thinking if you stand back and watch what most people are doing it's fairly obvious they're not thinking well they would never say or do what they're doing most people today have their television on the news and they're just soaking up all the stuff that's going on that's dominating the media right now so they've become a plaything for what's going on outside yes and that's why they're living in such fear by consuming the media of whether it's true or accurate or not true you're you're being manipulated yeah it's not a matter of whether it's true or not is this how you want to spend your life just listening to that hmm um that doesn't mean you should deny it it doesn't mean that you should say well that's all false and I don't know whether it's true or false it's just bad news I don't want to be volved in it yeah am i aware that it's there well you'd almost have to be dead not to be aware that it's there but that doesn't mean you have to spend your time thinking on that hmm well it's much rather you activate some of my creative faculties and do something that's constructive time and it silent under crisis and worry and and fear for a lot of people what should we be thinking about how should we be using our imagination in different ways as opposed to fixating on the bad news well I think a good idea right now would be spend some time thinking about how are we going to adapt when this is gone yeah because we're live we're gonna live in a different world we're not going to be in the same world when this is all blown over then we're in right now it's gonna be quite different yeah people are not going to be rushing out to big events where there's a lot of people they're not gonna be rushing to restaurants I think they're gonna be very careful about what they do where they think and where they're going I was listening to cynic and he said if you're a public speaker don't look for a stage for a little while because you're not gonna have one yeah now this also presents great opportunities it's for us for my company we're going online you know full speed ahead now fortunately we built the studio four or five years ago so you're prepared we're we're equipped and we're ready yeah we can we can broadcast we were we had a training class going in here just last week with about 300 of our consultants from all over the world we had a three-day training program for them and it was very effective although I have to come together yeah yeah you did it from right here yeah I mean you you're known for doing these powerful transformational workshops in person so for someone I mean it's very inspiring for me for someone at your age where would be the excuse of most people your age to say well I don't understand this technology thing and I've been doing this this way of business for so long it's always worked this way and I'm not going to try to reinvent or evolve and pivot and grow in this way so it's really inspiring to see someone of your age with your level of experiences say you know what I'm embracing it maybe I don't like it maybe you do like it but you're embracing it and making the most of it as opposed to resisting because what happens when we start to resist in our life what what truly happens well well we resistant we created in our mind that's all we think about and you see I guess my age really has nothing to do with it but I formed that attitude a long time ago yeah I didn't like the idea that when you've lived for so long you've got to cut out you got to stop I thought hell I don't like that idea at all and first of all I think we're worried I believe we're here to do God's work God's work his creation you know expansion fuller expression greater goodness and and if we're going to do that we're gonna be working at it all the time we're here on this planet we never stopped so eight should have no bearing on me I had a gospel penis I started to build this place we we put a couple of million dollars into this and somebody says how old are you and I think I was probably 83 when they started to break ground he said you're 83 and years spent two million dollars building a studio I said yeah like why not I mean you see we let things that really have no concern we let them bother us we let them control us age is a dumb thing to let control you it's our thinking that controls everything that's the one point every great leader of readon we become what we think about or what's a person thinking I'm thinking if I get all I gotta stop well then you'll stop or I thinking well I've been here a long time I've got a lot of experience I want to utilize that experience to keep me going as long as I am here I mean anybody had their head screwed on right a few years ago would know that this thing is going to take over yeah and if we don't learn how to use it we're toast so you know I was doing seminars on my iPad because I can run it right onto a monitor a notes true to the universe yeah what should we be thinking about the most right now in your mind if I think we should think about our future I think we should be thinking about the the greatness like it's the school of greatness I think we ought to be thinking about the greatness that we've got lost got locked up within us and bring it to the surface everyone has deep reservoirs of talent and ability within and they can bring it to the surface to accomplish anything they want now to sit in fear and wonder what's gonna happen that is a dumb waste of your talent in your time yeah and unfortunately that's what most of the media is promoting right now to believe in fear is to believe in something you can't see to believe in faith is to believe in something you can't see well if you have a choice I think I choose faith over things absolutely I think I believe where I can really see something happen I believe we're gonna have a phenomenal year in our company in fact I read I am business partner Sandi Gallagher and very bright lady was a securities attorney prior to joining us she run a program this morning for a run our entire company we have about 70 people in the company she was teaching masterminding to them all and saying how this is important that every one of us get involved in this then we learn the basics of masterminding that Napoleon Hill brought to the world let's say way back in the 30s mm-hmm now I think that's what we should be teaching people sandy was on the right track there so I think we ought to be thinking about what we're gonna build how big are we gonna do it where are we gonna do it when are we going to start our goals have not changed they're very big they're very ambitious and we're not letting this virus slow us down one bit yeah as a matter of fact we're trying to figure out hope when we use this to speed up mm-hmm here and you can't you can't get rid of it use it to your advantage yeah there is a way we can use it to our advantage people are more dependent upon the phone I've got a computer here they're dependent on their phone their computer more than they've ever been we can reach them anywhere in the world through those meetings mm-hmm yeah use them to your advantage you talked about fear for a second I'm curious when we live in a state of fear what does that do to us and when we the second part to this when we feel that fear and we become aware of it what should we be thinking or doing or acting on in order to shift into a more positive spin state do you know that is one hell of a good question and it's a question most people are not able to answer first of all the cause of fear is ignorance that is the cause of fear and so if you follow the ignorance it doesn't start out as fear the ignorance starts out in a conscious level as doubt and worry mm-hmm that's on a conscious level we're doubting or were worrying then we take whatever image comes into our consciousness of the don't worry and we turn it over to our emotional mind that's what causes the fear well that fear then has to be expressed through the body you're the only instrument it can be expressed through our physical body it sets up a vibration known as anxiety anxiety is not expressed anxiety becomes suppressed we suppress it and the suppression then turns to depression which turns to disease which turns to decay you see you're talking about a track a person gets on it's a very negative track it's a grens don't worry fear anxiety suppression depression disease disintegration now the polar opposite of all that the opposite of ignorance is knowledge hmm there's only one way to get to knowledge and that is to study hmm now unfortunately school didn't do the job that it was designed to do for most of us schools should teach us to love to study hmm not to not to dread studying at homework and tests they should teach us to love it because study leads to the opposite of don't worry which is understanding see it study that least understanding we understand how to handle the fear it's understanding that enables us to cause us to understand where the fear starts the understanding then we want to say what do we understand we want to understand this whole universe operates by law one of the laws is the law of opposite the opposite of don't worry is understanding hmm now if the don't worry leads to fear what's understanding leads to understanding leads to faith the faith leads to expression it will being an expression it's not depression hmm it's not suppression it's not anxiety the faith leads to well-being the well-being then is expression acceleration because we're at ease we're not at there's not disease so you're dealing with polar opposites there's two different sides to things and when we understand that our world starts to change it's by understanding that that we learn how to deal with these epidemics when they hit and they will hit there will be others there always has been oil down through history if you look back there's been things like this happen in the past and I'm fortunately the masses are sort of paralyzed by it yeah and as a people we add to that paralysis by feeding them more of what scares them well we should be doing is helping them understand what the hell is going on why do we do that as people why do we feed people more of what scares them as opposed to what you and I do which is he know what that's like they buy people don't buy good news people buy bad news why can you imagine if everybody that tunes into CNN send into the school of tuned into the school of greatness every week be amazing can you imagine if everybody that Tunes in to Fox tuned into your school of greatness every week have you any idea the impact you could have on the world that's we're trying to do would be enormous the enormous people want bad news it resonates with their their mind is program their program with negative information their paradigm is all bad news it's what we're proofing with now is everybody know there's a small select group of people that don't fall into that category and they are always working diligently trying to lift everybody up it's not an easy thing to do but every mention of Ella Lewis house would come along and start a school of greatness and he'll call in different people that feed into that concept that are in harmony with that that resonate with that and so it makes it interesting for the listener and then that's how it goes yeah and that's what you're doing and that's what I'm doing yeah and it's not a losing battle it just appears like it is I'm Cellini yeah I think you're winning now we're not we're not drawing the numbers that CNN's drawing but the ones we draw are saying absolutely mm-hmm you got it you got it we're making an impact on them for sure I'm curious when I ask you more about self-doubt because this is something I've been fascinated with for the last few years as I I spent most of my life dealing with trying to understand how to overcome doubting myself and achieved the sports goals business goals relationship goals that I had throughout my younger years and I became obsessed with learning how to eliminate doubt and I've been researching this more and just trying to learn from people like yourself on how you have dealt with self-doubt over the years and how you think anyone who feels like they're doubting themselves what can they do to go from doubt into confidence what do you think is the path okay that's a good question it ties in with the previous question yes what do we do with fear fear comes from the doubt so the do't becomes the cause of the theater which is the cause of the anxiety etc the doubt is the cause fear is the effect what is the polar opposite to doubt understanding mmm it's understanding that's the opposite of don't so what is it we want to understand well if it's me that's entertaining do't why am i entertaining doubt if i were to find out who I really am and I believe everything that's been taught down through the centuries I would have no doubt I would be realizing that I could do anything and the only thing that's caused a doubt is the lack of understanding so I'm gonna keep studying out gaining a better understanding I don't doubt myself I don't doubt what I can do does that mean that I can do everything no when dota pierced I'll eliminate it and I'll eliminate it fast because I'm going to figure out how to do whatever it is I'm W yeah and you see if it's me that I'm doubting it's because I don't understand me well enough hmm I did a broadcast the other day it was all over the place we had thousands in direct on self image and we've got to get a better image of herself we have to get a true image of ourselves understand who we are how our mind functions realize this physical instrument we're living in is nothing but an instrument it's the instrument of the mind and the mind expresses itself with and through this thing we call our body well let's understand that better this you can enough power in your one hand to light up that building you're in for probably a month Wow there's about 11 million kilowatt hours per pound potential energy locked up in the electrons the atoms of the body well that's the invisible power that's in me I want to understand that better how what that's the physical side what's the higher side higher side is my intellectual side and that is the intellectual factors that I run through earlier perception the well reasoned imagination memory and intuition there's six of them and as I understand those more as I understand my intellectual factors I'm using the things that I'm utilizing and developing the things that separate me from all the rest of the animal kingdom of which I'm a part then I can tap into the spiritual essence of Who I am because we're spiritual beings and that's where the greatness lies mm-hmm it lies in understanding the spiritual essence of who we are you see our spiritual DNA is perfect it requires no improvement it cares no modification our spiritual essence is perfect and that perfection is within us so the trick is figuring out how to express it in a greater way yeah and not get trapped into a different type of expression through bad news or friends or parents beliefs or whatever it is that exactly tries to shut us down correct exactly so and this will try and shut us down because we're coming up and we're saying I'm gonna do this now say you got to be out of your mind you're gonna quit that good job are you crazy we gotta be strong enough to say I'm gonna follow my dream mmm amen to that I'm a big believer as their king I have the dream you didn't say I have a plan he didn't have a bank account he didn't say you know I have a dream I have a image in my mind I have a good beautiful picture that I want to execute in my life self-image I love this topic about self-image how do we reshape our self-image to serve us as opposed to bring us down well interesting malts natural malts actually discovered self-image as we know it today he was a cosmetic surgeon and he found if he operated on a person maybe they had a distasteful scar in their face and he removed the scar he said sometimes there was a phenomenal change in the person's personality but he said other times they'd removed the scar was very successful no change in their personality that led him to postulate that we not only have this physical image that reflects back from the mirror we have an inner image of ourselves it's how we see yourself now that inner image is an idea and that idea is generally planted in our little life when were infants and it's planted by virtue of the the environment that we're surrounded by how we're raised if a child is raised with praise they're gonna grow up very confident individuals if the child is raised with criticism they're gonna grow up very insecure so you see this image that we have it's a picture of how we see ourselves but most of us that image was planted by people that didn't know what the hell was going on they didn't know the war was over and they were planting they were developing a little mind it was a mind they were shaping it like fresh clay they didn't understand that it was a kid they're looking after and we feed him we'd keep him warm up now you know that's our responsibility no it was a mind and they were developing that mind and if they didn't understand what were they gonna put in well the only couldn't never to the child is the insecurities that they had themselves so that was the picture that the kid grows up of themselves now I grew up very insecure I was born during the Depression when I first went to school the Second World War had just broken out so everybody's ration for everything it was hard times all the men were away fighting in your effort South Pacific there was no men doin em and the women that were there were driving the trucks they were cops they did their everything so there wasn't a whole lot of time used for developing a little mine so I just grew up and picked up what I couldn't I drug very unsecure it wasn't until I met a man that gave me this book and gave me some damn good instruction then I started to pay attention to who I was and I have never stopped being fascinated with studying me yeah I am the most fascinating subject that I've ever come across and I have found out that you and I are exactly the same we only appear to be different our physical body looks different we choose different locations some learns more or less than the other but our potential is exactly the same we both live in a physical body we both have these higher mental faculties we're both spiritual beings we both draw on an infinite source of supply we're the same so the trick I think for the person that has insecurities that is you've got the strongest image they want they should find a damn good mentor that's what changed my life that's what the school of greatness is for doing for people that are tuning into it on a regular basis because I don't think you have any slots on here I don't think your people coming on here don't know what the hell they're talking about I don't think you've compete we'll come on here just to make a noise I think you come on to pick the best of their mind you're going to pick their mind for their listening audience mm-hmm you got a big name out there so you know it's a lot of people listen to you pay attention so and that's why because you're giving them the right information so as we start to gather this information about ourselves our image starts to change and I started to see I'm not this skinny kid that doesn't know what the hell is happening that did poorly in school I'm a spiritual being I have a marvelous mind I can think if I can imagine it I can hold it in my hand I can do anything that I want I've got a little book here this is a little book I've been studying what's that called this is what the secret was based on hmm this is the original what's a call to getting rich sides you getting rich Wallace D wattles in fact we're gonna be teaching that online and I think starts the first of many we have hundreds of people registered and we're gonna be teaching an online science of getting rich it's a wonderful book I will have it sent I'll have a buck sent yet oh thank you sir appreciate it yeah but now I've had this book for a long time I just keep reading keep reading keep reading I'm thinking Grow Rich I get ready to keep reading and all the books behind me i got thousands of books I am absolutely fascinated with studying Who I am and what I'm studying me I'm studying you because we're really all the same the only differences in results and understanding what's the thing I want to learn and understand if you're like you know what I haven't fully grasped this concept or idea and I really want to get to another level well I'm always want to get to another level hopefully I'm at a higher level today than I was yesterday I I'm in here around 5:30 every morning studying well that's how I start my day here well you see there is no end to the growth you you always want to grow so you're created in God's image now there's a problem with this because we're raised on our physical senses we grow up and what we've done is had God created in our image in our mind not that we're creating God's image we're taught that we created God in our image so now we're trying to figure out how can the man be on the present how can that person be everywhere and because we're locked in on a physical level we get lost when we understand that you have infinite potential there is no top there's no beginning no end see when it comes to school of greatness there's no finish line when it comes to personal development there is no finish line so how can you tell how well you're doing by the results you're getting by their fruits by their fruit you'll know them by the results they're getting if they're not getting the results they don't know so if you're going to get a mentor get somebody that's getting the results yeah or you don't want them right what's the area of your life you feel like you still want to grow more maybe it's not hitting them all the areas all area I want to grow in all areas in my life Yeah right I never started never want to stop growing yeah and everyone is not learning is there a specific area for you these like you you need more work on than others obviously all areas but is there one oh well there's only them because my company is nowhere near where I want we have I picked up a pen the way back in 1973 I was living in Glenview Illinois I had just left the ninth guild Corner corporation I worked with her lanky on Lloyd Conan for five years and I sat down and I said I'm gonna build a company that operates all over the world hmm I've absolutely no idea how I was gonna do that but I knew if I could think it I could do it because I told all the great leaders have agreed on they've disagreed in the register everything else we operate today the proctor Gallagher Institute operates in eighty eight different countries well we have consultants that operate that teach our material represent us in eighty eight different countries when we stream a program we go into around 115 countries now if you ask me how are you going to do that when I started no idea but I didn't know this if you set a goal and you know how to do it the goal probably isn't any good oh it probably isn't any class does you know how to do it you're gonna go sideways it's a repeat performance you've got to go after something you have absolutely no idea how you're gonna do it now I've had the good fortune of working with Edmund Hillary he was a beaky from Auckland New Zealand he was the first man to climb Mount Everest he went there in 51 and he failed he went back in 52 and he failed but in 1953 he incent Tenzing Norgay stood on top of the mountain but he couldn't tell you until after he got there how he was going to do it and nobody could tell him because nobody has ever done it so the trick kick a goal that you really want but you have no idea how to do it mm-hmm now there's got to be a big learning curve there and I'm still learning Wow that's inspiring I love that and hopefully you can find mentors that can who have done it that can guide you pick the ones right here Arthur and these books behind me here I've got see here he's going on the Hut I like it you know here's here's one here this is an original my son gave me as a gift the Edinburgh lectures on mental science mmm it is a heavy one here's another one the Dory lectures on mental science these are written by a Thomas true words there were written he down background 1910 1912 they are incredible and they are my mentors today Wow he is my mentor if you can only recommend five books that the world no other books would ever exist except these five books for people to read for the rest of eternity and there would be no other books hypothetical question what five books would you recommend for people thinking Grow Rich as a man thinketh by James Allen I'd recommend my own book you were born rich mmm everybody's born rich most people are a little short of money that's all ooh and well they they get into this the Edinburgh lectures mental science and then I'm gonna give you one there's a long ways away from that u square by Price Pritchett huh okay it's a little tiny book price Pritchett say is a consultant over in Dallas he's written a little book you square it's on quantum physics quantum leaps it's one of the best books I've ever read these books are incredible and it's funny true had taught me he said if you come to a point where you can't learn anything from somebody you go inside he said go to the fun cetera go go to the fountain and search go inside now I mean this in all humility I've been studying this longer than anybody I know yeah there's probably people study a longer me but I'm studying for fifty nine years and I study it every day I don't know anybody that teaches what we teach like we teach it I've had absolutely incredible teachers so I don't go run around looking for teachers I've got toward what he's written he is so rich in truth he's probably one of the greatest authors the last 500 years well but the trick no Lewis is he gonna keep studying and you only will keep studying if you're going after something you have no idea how to get there but to know you can get there the way there will be showing as you go after it hmm step by step it will come to you why isn't it shown to us before we start going after it why why does it take us you wouldn't understand it mmm you wouldn't understand it see the purpose of a goal is not to get it's not to reach the goal it's the awareness that you develop as you go after it you're learning who you are it's becoming aware of who you are yeah I was in a seminar years and years ago and there was a speaker Bill goes DILG ov was considered the Frank Sinatra public speakers he was incredible he had a handheld mic and he's looking at the audience and he said if I want to be free I'm gonna be me not to me I think you think I should be not to me I think my kids think I should be not to me I think my wife thinks I should be if I want to be free I've got to be me he said I better know who me is well you know I had a lot of this information at that time these years ago but I was shy and I wanted to teach it I was afraid to stand up and ask a question in front of an audience and so I made up my mind I'm not only gonna learn to speak like him I was gonna get him to teach me mm-hmm now he became a mentor of mine and I realized then if I take the areas where I'm a little 6 bit short I'm just not really very good I didn't go to school so there's a lot of areas I'm gonna get the very best and I'm gonna do exactly what they tell me mm-hmm and that's what I did when the man he gave me this book he said do exactly what I'm telling you I did exactly what he said mmm 15 years or so ago um well first of all he became my mentor and very good friend right up until he passed away our company was having financial problems all the time and I could learn all kinds of money but I don't know how to manage that I wasn't gonna know how to run a company I mean I wasn't designed for that and I didn't want to learn it I didn't even like the subject but what you need you will attract mm and we had a lady come to seminar was a securities attorney she fell in love with what we're she was a a full partner in a company and over a clear example she owns half the company but she's doing she wants a company she's the president chief executives of the company I mentioned her last time usually get around for an interview sometime because she is a fascinating person but she does a phenomenal job here yeah well so I have found any areas that I'm not very good at I get the very best and I work with them I don't try and learn what they're teaching I get them to do that I get somebody else to do something else because it's gonna take me to where I want to go I am the young guy here that runs our studio he's the director of the studio he's absolutely brilliant he said it glow when he was 13 to work with me I remember the scene living in Manchester in England and then he watched the secret nice um he's not going to work with him 13 years later he's here in the studio and he runs this place I love that he's incredible he can record and send it from anywhere in the world you mean hear and do everything and I found that's one of the secrets of getting to where you want to go you need help you gotta help you got have a lot of help you're saying we can't just do it all on our own Bob never gonna do it on your own it won't go very far if you're doing it alone I'm curious I feel like you've got again decades of wisdom and knowledge from history that you you lived through an experienced personally firsthand you said you grew up during the Second World War what was the lesson you learned in the Second World War at that time that people should know about today during this time too different they don't even retrospect that I learned these things because we were back and I have to go back and we were all everything was rationed so people were getting accustomed to live on lack and limitation it was part of the programming and what in looking back the great lesson is don't let what's going on program you in fact it's a good point to bring out right now because of this pandemic that's going on we must not let this program us this does not have to define us doesn't have to dictate where we're going to go it's got nothing to do with their destiny as a kid everything was rationed I remember gum chewing gum was rationed there's in fact there's a good story I'm gonna take the time to tell you about we would go to the store our father was in Europe fighting and we would send care packages every now and then they would mail them and they would get throw into it at pictures you know of the family and all the stuff and we'd put a package of gum in sometimes we would be at the store and if somebody if they put a package of gum out it would just be one little box it would be gone like that because you couldn't buy gum during the war Wrigley's did not make gum during the war they couldn't and one of us would hold the gum while the other one home see if there was enough money to buy it yes Jim Bank not even enough money would have to put it back during the Second World War Wrigley's could not make gum the basic ingredient apparently for making gum comes from the Philippine Islands the Japanese who were in charge of the Philippine Islands they had occupied the Philippine Islands you couldn't get in to get the gun Wrigley seemed to know that the war would be over they'd be able to get the stuff we'd win the war and he'd get stuff to build the gum he never stopped advertising by regularly spirit gum all during Second World War even though they couldn't make it read less than they're good advertising people wouldn't believe that lived here the Second World War wouldn't believe that they my government because he just kept enough and he'd leak a little bit out every now and then two different places Wow great lesson in advertising there Wow it's kind of like her and I think the greatest lesson that I've learned or is looking back my mother god bless her she was a special woman she did not let that control her and I think any really good qualities I've got for growing and building came from her she raised three of us on her own and god only knows how she did it she was like a magician she sure didn't have any help but she did it and she instilled us that if you want it you can get it you know that's beautiful it sounds like it sounds like the you were you know holding Wrigley's gum back then just like people are doing with the hand sanitizer right now so that was the thing yeah but you see people are permitting this to program them right now mm-hmm if you're not thinking this stuff right into your subconscious mind yeah and whatever goes in there repetition over and over and over becomes part of our behavior it's you can't deny it it's there absolutely refuse to let it control you understand you can be thinking of how to win how to get it done how to go and do better and you may have to adapt you may have to change the game but you can change the game we are probably going to change the way we operate forever over the next few months but we're prepared to do that after sandy was holding the meeting today with all the company she was teaching them all we got to get together we got to bring our mind together we've got to understand that this doesn't control us we control us yeah how important in your mind is writing down things like apps for affirmations gratitude dreams how important is the act of writing what we think down on a daily basis is it important hold on well I'm another treasure hunt I love it see this page yep well at the top event today I'm grateful for there's ten spaces that'll be done tomorrow morning today was three hundred and thirty three days I've done that Wow every day not only that but then I have a statement here I am so happy and grateful now that I realized my spiritual DNA is perfect and that perfection is within me I begin each day looking for areas of my life where I want to see that perfection expressed eventually I write that statement out every day with my left hand and I'm not left handed huh I'm programming myself I've been doing that for 333 days now I'm changing the way I do something I want to gain an understanding of just how powerful that paradigm is I want to go to this hand because I can do it fast it's very awkward but I've been doing it for three hundred thirty three days I'll do it for three hundred and sixty-five days but I have here written down ten things I'm grateful for it that's the first thing I do every morning at 5:30 Wow so you believe it's very important yeah see the repetition of all good material is very important it's extremely important repetition is how you fix the ideas or the information in your subconscious mind it's the ideas that are fixed in the subconscious mind that control our behavior that's the paradigm you don't think and then do when you get up in the morning you automatically move into action you're programmed its your paradigm in your subconscious mind what people hear on the school of greatness when they tune into this they're going to hear great ideas most of which they probably don't do if they would hear one and say that is one hell of a good idea I am going to do that they should write it down and then write it out as an affirmation I'm sure I'm grateful now that I and do it every day write it out every day until you see yourself automatically doing it see nothing to do then they're gonna do everything they hear on here but if every day they listen they get one idea and say I'm going to turn that into our habitual part of my personality they're gonna end up really a big winner that's where greatness comes from I think I might have told you last time I was with you that Robert Russell was a great author he said there's no secret to greatness he said it's simply doing little things in a great way every day I love that that's the school of greatness do little things in a great way every day what's the thing that you wish you would have started doing sooner that habitual habit you know 10 years ago 30 years ago 40 years ago that you just started doing in the last five years that you're like man I wish I would have done this as my routine 10 20 30 years ago I wished I had got really good financial guidance and listened to it when I first started yeah do you make some bad I didn't do that yeah you see there's no sin in not knowing how to do something the cynism keep doing it wrong don't follow people's advice I think the trick is to go to people that have demonstrated by results they really know what they're doing then do exactly what they tell you I give you a good example I was during a seminar for credential way back in the 70s and I did send ourselves a little company at one time and the one of the first groups we had was at the hillside Holiday Inn in Chicago I had 450 of their agents in the room the Prudential give out a president's trophy to the number one anything number one vice-president number one manager number one salesperson Ron semper train was the number one agent of the 20,000 agents that year and I found out he was in the room so at one point in the seminar I said run I'd like to ask your question I said how many people in the last year have asked you if they could take you out for breakfast or lunch with a half a dozen well-prepared questions and asked you how did you become number one not one no one had done there Wow well you know I used that as an example I think I was guilty of that for a long time yeah I was really guilty because I kept losing I did nothing right I couldn't go anywhere do anything man I met a man gave me thinking Grow Rich ray Stanford he howie's okay I didn't know him well but he always had money a lot of money oh I never had any I mean I was always broke I was I was unhappy I had dumb jobs I was going nowhere left school two months high school and he said if you do exactly what I'm telling you he's you you're better than your one hmm of course I didn't believe huh Here I am I mean dad you know nothing was going right and you could have been you want I don't know why but I listen to him mmm I think the key was he said listen your ways not working why don't you try mine I think that's what got me I started to do exactly what he said my income went from four thousand a year to fourteen thousand five hundred a month in a year I've earned millions of dollars I found earning money is one of the simplest things in the world to do but if you don't know that you won't believe that it's the hardest thing it is here that most people think it's the hardest that is because we've never been taught harder and money I was doing a a broadcast here a couple of weeks ago and it was just did Q&A just opened Q&A people anywhere I could ask for you and we absolved thousands of people on and there was one person said I'm really struck stuck I I don't know what to do what should I do I just figure out how to go and help somebody stuffin think about you're pretty good at go help somebody quit looking for somebody to help you figure out how to help somebody else and I said that's probably gonna be a difficult thing for you to do because you're probably dominated with the fact that you're stuck right now forget that for a moment stop and think how can you go and help somebody cuz of course that's the secret to success it is it's a secret of earning money I like the way Ziegler used to put that Zig Ziglar help other people get what they want they'll always give you with you on it's so true how can how can everyone watching and listening right now get more mentorship from you what's the program they can be a part of where can they listen follow we need to listen to all kinds yeah we've got all kinds of programs to us and first of all if they go on our site go to Procter Gallagher comm they can download download the book you were born rich it's free we'll give it away and I wrote that in 1984 what I did I sat down and I broke down into parts how I got to where I was then I was doing very well 1984 and had been for a number of years and so I broke it all down and I put it in a book and the books in many different languages now and millions of them out there we give it away and we have six minutes to success I think it cost about $25 a month or something like that where I'll send you a video every morning well every morning we have coaching programs if they just leave we we will even do we've got all kinds of people in our company we'll do a half hour coaching program for nothing all the person does is go to Procter Gallagher calm and just leave your name and say I'd like to be coached for an hour half hour they'll do it for nothing what people need to realize get the third there is a simple way out of their dilemma they don't have to look at a black wall that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it's not a train coming at let me know you know they've got to get they've got to get the idea that there is a better way and there's places where you can get help we give help that's what our company is all about we have thousands of people as I say in eighty eight countries so doesn't matter where a person is in the world we can help them and that's what we're all about that's all we want to do that's a whole life stuff and that's what the people and our company is all about I think everyone needs to be mentored by you I wanna I want to find a way or I can call you once a month or once every couple months Bob and just chat on the fire she's got my phone number you call me anytime you want well I appreciate it I will see you get my phone I'll give you my cell number and you can call me anytime you want listen I've got a lot of respect for what you're doing thank you and I think the audience should know you're one of the biggest in the game you're one of the biggest names out there and be on your on your program is quitting on it I was humbled they even wanted me to be on the first place and but you do you do really good work and I would encourage everybody that comes into your show they get other people to come on you've got to lead more people to this kind of information because you're not hearing it every day and you're not hearing at all television anymore and you're not getting in a newspaper but this good news is out there and there is a better way I don't care how desperate things look it can get better Ralph Waldo trying wrote a great book in tune with the infinite and in that book he said nothing is good or bad except our thinking makes it so everything just is we make it good or bad through our thinking I don't care what it is we make it good or bad to our thinking Michael Beckwith was a dear friend and very wise individual he said something interesting either we can apply to this what's going on in our world today he said when anything happens there's a three step approach to it number one I don't care what happens to you it is what it is accepted it's either going to control you or you're gonna control it number two harvest the good there's good and everything I love the term harvest the good yeah just yeah farmer at their harvest and number three forgive all the rest it is what it is accepted it's going to control you or you'll control it harvests the good and forgive all the rest and I think that's what we got to start doing we got to get more into this we got to lead other people into and help other people understand it there is a way I always say when a guy that was losing as badly as I was that was really losing when they can turn out and win and then 86 I've got as much energy as most people 36 and no intentions of slowing down I mean why would I want to do that and if I can win anybody can win I think that's why I'm effective of what I do because I came from such a horrible place and started winning life is good and it I think it's a great trip and we should enjoy every step of it but we only do that and we learn to use our higher faculties I'm gonna run through the months more yes please perception the will reason imagination memory and intuition your perception is how you see things I love the way blanket his name now a good friend is to say when you change the way you look at something what you look at changes mm-hmm it's true yes the will it's the ability to hold one idea on the screen of the mind to the excursion of all outside distractions memory there's no such thing as a bad memory everybody's got a perfect memory reason it's what gives you the ability to think it that enables you to just pluck stuff out of the ether spirit and turn it into a thought imagination anything you can hold in your head you can hold in your hand if you can see it in here you can turn it into results what we're doing right now is nothing but the expression of somebody's imagination the fact we're communicating with the thousands of people right now the way we are it's the manifestation of somebody's imagination and the intuition intuition is that hire faculty that picks up energy and reads it it's a psychic ability it's phenomenal I have a very highly tuned in into a defector not by accident by design I divine I developed it anybody can you pick up the vibration it's your intuition intuition never lies it's spirit talking to you mmm and
