This book is was originally a gift to Bob on his 75th birthday from his family. It is a compilation of over 50 lessons Bob taught various members of his family through life lessons. Each member of the family shares the story and the lesson they learned from Bob.
This book is not great because of the lessons he taught his family(which are simple yet great lessons). It is great because it shows how one man's character and consistent living by a set of principles can make a difference in an entire family's life and beyond. The fact that his family can write an book about what he taught them speaks volumes of this man's character. I hope to live a life worthy of my family doing something like this for me one day. To me, it would be the ultimate proof of my success.

This book/audio was surprisingly enjoyable and worthwhile listen. At first I thought it will be just a rehash of Bob Proctors work …
…but it was fascinating seeing different experiences of people who knew him, share how he implemented his teachings in his own life and with people nearest and dearest to him
It’s something that can be difficult - but the examples shared, true to Bobs genius - showed how he made it so simple and seamless.
I found it encouraging for me to do the same even when I can find it difficult. It’s not always easy sharing learned wisdom with people you care about to help elevate them - as sometimes people just don’t seem to get it or bother … ?

It’s inspiring to me that Bob Proctor did so much good and helped so many people consciously create better lives for themselves. It appears that he was who he preached, through and through. Hats off to him! I want to be like that.

I really loved how simple yet powerful all the lessons were. These are good advice to always keep in mind.

When I learnt that he died I personally wanted to read all the books that he wrote/about him. This was the first one I picked because it was short and super sweet.
About how he helped all his family members.
What I learnt:
Learning something new:
Be in love with the journey not the goal, celebrate little victories there is no end goal because there will always be another goal
Attitude for goals:
passionate devotion to the field
need to concentrate to the exclusion of all else when working on or thinking about (little black dot focus 100%)
self criticism
Setting goals:
make a list all the things I wanted to have to or be.
cross out items that don't mean too much to me - find something that inspires you to achieve my goal
make a list of everything that you need to do to achieve that goal
Make a list of everything that is causing me fear and anxiety
list points of action
Razer Edge:
Subtle thing distinguishes the stars from the crowd. Do the little things like a master
Make my purpose statement:
What do I love reading what am I good at.
Write and read it out your goals + imagine it
Go to your goals with believe
You know the answer
Listen to your gut feeling
I think and therefore I am
We create our own emotions smile = happy
Dreams are own to achieve and create
learn and read over and over what inspires you
Money:
Just do the work and money will come
money is meant to be used
love people and use money
Stuff is only stuff
Truly desire it and be ready to receive it not just wishing for it

This book was a 75th birthday gift to Bob from his family; filled with stories of Bob's entire family detailing how Bob has inspired all of them. It's great to learn about the family side of my favorite prosperity teacher, Bob Proctor.
