Chapter summaries
Staying in Control and Studying Every Day
Lewis Howes asks about the habits of top performers who thrive through adversity. Bob Proctor says you must control things from the inside and describes studying Think and Grow Rich every day since 1961, with persistence as its key principle.
- •The law of the animal kingdom is adapt or die, and letting the outside world control you means you're toast
- •Goals stay the same even when methods change
- •Proctor has studied the same book daily for 60 years on the advice of the man who gave it to him
- •Persistence is the quality he names as the one principle he would keep
- •Success is forming the habit of doing what failures don't like to do
Repetition, Habits and Principle Over Precedent
Proctor says the hardest habit is repeatedly studying the same material, citing Earl Nightingale's book holder and the football-playbook parallel. He reads a passage about the Wright brothers to explain principle over precedent.
- •Nightingale called repetition of an idea the secret of success
- •Repetition programs the subjective mind, which controls behavior
- •Precedent lets the past control you, while principle says there is always a better way
- •The Wright brothers' flight illustrates principle over precedent
Letting Go of a Loser Past and Building Self-Esteem
Proctor describes his low self-esteem, being kicked out of high school and his struggle to let go of having no formal education. Asked how to build confidence, he says people must study themselves and the six mental faculties.
- •Proctor held dumb jobs and had low self-esteem before studying
- •Repeated study, and examples like Edison's grade-three education, helped him let go
- •People are programmed to live through their senses, but humans have higher faculties instead of instinct
- •Awareness is the key to changing one's results
- •His company now operates in 91 countries teaching how the mind functions
Imagination, Will and Working From the Goal
Proctor lists the six faculties and explains how imagination and will work together, using the cell phone and frequency analogy. He says to work from the goal rather than toward it, and that the gestation period of an idea is unknown.
- •The six faculties are perception, will, imagination, memory, reason and intuition
- •Von Braun said the will to do it was what it took to reach the moon
- •Hold the completed goal in your mind with your will
- •An idea held intellectually and emotionally moves into physical form over an unknown gestation period
- •Lewis connects this to Joe Dispenza's idea of remembering the future
Paradigms and Why Programming Holds Us Back
Asked why it is hard to imagine a greater future, Proctor explains paradigms as subconscious programming, comparing them to learning a language. He says school never teaches how to earn money and that self-image is a major programmed limitation.
- •We are programmed genetically and by environment, which forms a paradigm
- •Proctor has worked on changing his programming since age 26
- •Most people don't know they have the problem, so they stay stuck
- •People with finance degrees can be broke because they learned to count money, not earn it
- •Proctor's great-granddaughter is being raised with affirming language to build self-image
Daily Reprogramming Rituals: Goal Card, Gratitude and Service
Proctor shares his daily practices: a goal card he touches, writing ten things he's grateful for, and thinking of how to help others. He also names his own challenge of getting caught up in negative noise.
- •He has carried a goal card since 1961, written in present tense
- •He writes ten things he's grateful for every morning
- •Citing Wallace Wattles, gratitude hooks you up to your source of supply
- •He thinks of how he can help people, following Emerson's law of cause and effect
- •Replacing a bad habit with its opposite gives a double jump ahead
Law of Attraction, Vibration and Feeling Good
Proctor says The Secret led some astray because the law of attraction is secondary, and that thought controls vibration. He explains the laws of vibration and polarity, and says feeling is conscious awareness of vibration.
- •Merely thinking about something won't attract it; thought patterns control your vibration
- •The law of vibration says everything moves and nothing rests
- •Feeling is conscious awareness of vibration
- •The law of polarity means that if you look for good, you will find it
- •Proctor's income went from $4,000 to $175,000 in a year after writing a goal card and shifting his thinking
Avoiding the News and Shifting Your Frequency
Lewis describes dropping TV and being struck by four news channels showing chaos. Proctor agrees that important news will reach you anyway and that dwelling on it harms you, and lists ways to feel good.
- •Lewis got rid of his TV for years and earned more as a result
- •Consuming chaos makes the mind chaotic
- •Proctor says important news will reach you in conversation
- •Doing something kind, helping others or sharing an idea shifts how you feel
- •Lewis says not to hold onto negative feelings for long
Letting Go of Anger and Staying in Control
Proctor says he no longer gets angry, having dropped it around age 60 through study. He describes anger as losing self-control and recommends the serenity chapter of As a Man Thinketh.
- •He used to have a terrible temper but eliminated anger around 60
- •Studying the right material raises awareness
- •Anger is letting something outside control you
- •He has people write the serenity chapter of As a Man Thinketh for 90 days
Money, Relationships and Understanding the Mind
Lewis asks about aligning on money in relationships and partnerships. Proctor says mismatched poverty and prosperity consciousness causes trouble, credits his partner Sandy Gallagher's financial skill, and argues everything starts in the mind. He also tells the Prudential seminar story and names his mentors.
- •Mismatched money consciousness in a relationship undermines harmony
- •Sandy Gallagher manages money, and Proctor's finances changed once she became his partner
- •Mind is movement, not the brain
- •The top Prudential agent was never asked questions by others, showing the value of going to the best
- •Proctor lists his mentors including Ray Stanford, Earl Nightingale and Bill Gove
It's Never Too Late and Proctor's Health Challenge
Proctor says it's never too late to reprogram your mind around money and that multiple income sources are key. Asked what he struggles with, he names his health, and Lewis challenges him to hire a nutritionist and trainer by the end of the month.
- •As long as you can breathe, it's not too late to learn to earn money
- •Proctor says the secret to wealth is multiple sources of income
- •He admits he doesn't take good enough care of his health
- •He has booked the Bellagio for a seminar for his 100th birthday
- •He accepts Lewis's challenge to hire a nutritionist and physical trainer before month's end
Thomas Troward's Passage, Awareness and Response vs. Reaction
Proctor reads a passage by Thomas Troward on the mind as a center of divine operation and asks Lewis to read it daily for 90 days. He discusses human potential and explains Viktor Frankl's idea of the space between situation and response.
- •The passage says the mind is a center of divine operation moving toward fuller expression
- •Proctor wants a greater awareness of his relationship with the whole scheme of things
- •Thinking is the highest function and can be taught
- •When you react you give away control, and when you respond you stay in control
- •He tells a story of coaching Sandy's niece to respond to her mother
How to Earn Money: Need, Ability, Service and Giving
Lewis returns to money conversations with partners, and Proctor says to observe behavior, discuss giving and tithing, and learn someone's money paradigm. He explains that earning is an exact science tied to need, ability and replaceability, and that you serve for money and work for satisfaction.
- •Observe a partner's behavior around money and talk about earning and giving
- •Tithing means giving a regular percentage of what you earn
- •Money has no power other than what we give it
- •Income is in direct ratio to the need for what you do, your ability, and the difficulty of replacing you
- •Money is the reward for service rendered, and you should work for satisfaction
Believing You Can Earn a Million and Multiple Sources of Income
Asked how to make a first million, Proctor says people must develop belief through repetition and affirmations. He shares his affirmation, describes MSI Connect and the Million Dollar Forum, and explains a short morning routine built on multiple income sources.
- •Belief is built through repeated writing and a reevaluation of the situation
- •His affirmation says he's happy and grateful that money comes in increasing quantities through multiple sources

- •Be service-oriented because money rewards service
- •Write down ten ideas a day for serving others
- •Read books on money and awareness, including Think and Grow Rich, and read with a partner
Death, Staying Young and a World of Change
Proctor discusses his view of death as a transition, his lack of fear of it, and why he spends time with young people. He reflects on change, the hard 1960s, technology and his home studio, and closes with Eric Hoffer's quote that the learners will inherit the earth.
- •He sees birth and death as transitions and says you are a soul
- •He keeps young by mixing with young people and a long-tenured team
- •The 1960s were hardest because his past pulled against his new studies
- •His home studio lets him broadcast to many countries
