He later recognized his true potential and he found himself reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, and this book became the turning point of his life.

He worked in many different companies around the world where he offered services to clean and opened up his own company as well. He decided to join Nightingale-Conant from where he received firsthand tutoring by the infamous Earl Nightingale to learn more things.

In his bestselling book You Were Born Rich, Bob instilled his concept of how elitism lies within us all and is waiting to be discovered, and his other works, including Mission in Commission, The Goal Achiever, The Winner’s Image, The Recruiting Puzzle, The Success Puzzle, The Success Series, and Being the Very Best, have gained a large following worldwide.

He also collaborated on a course based on the Science of Getting Rich curriculum with Michael Beckwith and Jack Canfield, authors of The Secret and Chicken Soup for the Soul, respectively.

Bob Proctor presented the concepts of self-development in his notable interview with Larry King, bringing to light his description of how one should be on a journey to find his best self, polish that version, and carry it with him on the route to success.

He also discussed how creativity and imagination play a key role in finding happiness and attaining extraordinary success in all aspects of life.

    I am privileged to have met Bob Proctor when I joined the 3% Club many years ago. I will always have fond memories of Arizona and Toronto even though it has been twenty years since I’ve seen Bob. He changed so many lives for the better, my own included. He was a beacon for good in the world. He will be missed. Prayers, love and light to speed him on his way and to his family in their grief. I’m sure there is a “parking space” near the front for this man.

    Interesting you made no mention of one of his most influential pieces of work, The Secret, whom he co-wrote with Rhonda Byrne – although Rhonda is credited as the author. Bob spoke a lot about the laws of attraction and how to manifest change in ones life. RIP Bob. You will be greatly missed.

    I Met Bob when he came to my country. Said I was a very creative person.
    I am indebted to you Bob for your powerful, clear presentations such as the Paradigm Shift.
    Had never heard of this and I thought that doesn’t apply to me. Well was I wrong!
    Thank you Bob for pointing out that paradigms had me by the throat.
    Your vast knowledge is your legacy.

    I just saw this sad news. As an earnest student of the upward spiral and always growing deeper in my knowledge of self so that I can impact the world around me in a positive way, this man was truly a legend. Bob could pluck abundance our of the air, challenge you on your own limiting beliefs, and love you the whole journey through.

    I had the privilege of learning from him several times a year through his deep friendship with Mary Morrissey and her Brave Thinking Institute. Much like his idol, Napolean Hill, Bob’s impact will echo throughout generations. We love and miss him already and celebrate this bright being of light. RIP my friend and mentor.

    I was hoping to see a live lecture from him, but at same time, I worried if he’ld have enough time for that, because of his advanced age.

    Well, certainly his thoughts and learnings will remain and I hope we could make the best use of it ever.

    I’m really saddened to hear Bob already passed away. I’ve been following him on youtube but never knew about his passing not until Gerry Roberts mentioned about it today. It breaks my heart as this man left great principles that made me stay positive in life. You are a legendary man and you’ve influenced a lot of people Bob. I love you.
