Self-improvement or empowerment is not a new idea to the 21st century. Actually, such ideas have floated down through the decades since the 1930s. Before that, motivational speakers and forums might have been called something else. Today, the Law of Attraction is the key idea that has encouraged millions of people worldwide to reach for and attain goals in personal growth, financial independence and productivity.

Bob Proctor, the Canadian-born founder of the Law of Attraction self-improvement method, has been teaching and instructing people throughout the globe how to obtain prosperity and improved personal relationships since the 1960s.

Although a high-school dropout, Proctor has always had goals. He was not born into money and did not live a pampered life. He experienced many of the same trials and frustrations millions of people do today, including a lack of education and a sporadic work history. As a young man, he read a book that literally changed the course of his life. That book was called, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. It was the first book of its type that he had ever read. He followed it with works by Earl Nightingale.

Nightingale was earning quite a reputation in the 1960s, along with his partner, Lloyd Conant, founders of Nightingale-Conant, producers and publishers of a new wave of personal improvement media that seemed ripe for the plucking during that unsettled era of personal and spiritual growth and freedom.

Soon Proctor began to work for the Nightingale-Conant Company, and before long he became vice president, promoting the immensely popular culture the company engendered. Soon, Bob Proctor created his own seminars and began speaking engagements around the world. Since then, his speeches, workshops and uplifting and encouraging motivational materials have helped thousands of people reach for and obtain their own personal goals.

The popularity of self-help tools and motivational speaking has reached an-all time high as the 21st century ushers in more independent thinkers and business people taking advantage of global communications made possible by the Internet. Using tools that teach positive thinking, motivation and how to maximize human potential, Bob Proctor has created a program that teaches and uplifts people from all walks of life. Through his seminars and teaching materials, possibilities that were unimaginable before now seem possible for anyone who reaches out for help.

The greatest thing about Bob Proctor, says the majority of his followers, is that he doesn't talk at you, but with you as he speaks about attaining unheard-of wealth, personal satisfaction and growth. Anyone who has ever heard Proctor speak to audiences of hundreds has experienced the enthusiasm and joy he feels for his subject matter. Proctor offers not only the tools, but also the methods needed to use those tools to their fullest potential in order to obtain the goals that people yearn for. Take the time to find out what the Law of Attraction is all about. You won't regret it.
