H ave you ever wondered why hard work is often not enough to produce the results youve been hoping for in your career? Have you been puzzled about why, despite years of setting goals, you continue to fall short of your targets year after year? Are you curious why, when stressful circumstances happen in society or in your personal life, you find it difficult to control your attitude and emotions while others seem to stay calm, collected, and confident? Traditional personal development advice, such as thinking positively, visualizing what you want, or affirmations, too often feels like rolling a boulder uphill rather than the effortless, exciting, downhill process that you were expecting.

The answer to these common personal development questions lies in a factor that few success or motivational speakers, teachers, or philosophers ever address. This factor, which completely controls your long-term success or failure, is your paradigm.

In this book, motivational legend and personal development expert, Bob Proctor will present some incredible material that was previous only available to his attendees of his exclusive, sold-out seminars. Here you will get a masters level education and learn how to get results in a systematic, consistent, and sustainable way, bypassing the worst effects of success killers like fear of failure, fear of success, procrastination, and the very worst: self-sabotage.

Bob will show you how to handle it all by spending time working on your paradigmthe one thing that the vast majority of people overlook, but the one thats the most important.

Just what is a paradigm? As Bob will teach you, at its most basic level, a paradigm is a mental program situated in your subconscious that has almost exclusive control over all your habitual behaviorand almost all of your behavior is habitual.

Paradigms are a multitude of habits passed down from generation to generation, and they manifest themselves in many ways. Paradigms are the way you view yourself, the world, and opportunity. They are how you approach change and challenges. Once you realize that all of your behavior is controlled by paradigms, the way you look at the entire world will change.

Perhaps you know someone who seems habitually angry, upset at every turn in life, and unable to see the positive in any situation. Maybe you know someone who has battled fluctuating weight for years or decades. They seem to be on track for a while, getting healthy and dropping pounds, but they always seem to bounce back to where they once were. Perhaps you know someone who seems to be stuck at a certain level of income for years and can never seem to break through to the next level. All of these outcomes are controlled by paradigms. Just as paradigms can be a prison of ones making, they can also be changed to deliver you the freedom to be exactly the person you want to be.

In this book, Bob will give you the key to freeing yourself from limiting paradigms and to changing your paradigmthat underlying mental programmingto transform your finances, health, career, relationships, and life.

Bob Proctor is the perfect teacher to take you on this journey. Bob has studied the mind and human potential with some of the greatest minds the world has ever known. In 1961, he started studying the all-time success classic Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, and it transformed his life. Bob has listened to recordings by personal development legend Earl Nightingale thousands of times. Bob also worked shoulder to shoulder with Earl Nightingale and his company, the Nightingale-Conant Corporation, from 1968 to 1973, before leaving to start his own personal development company, Proctor Gallagher Institute, with his partner and co-founder, Sandy Gallagher. Today millions have been inspired by Bob through the hit movie The Secret, his books, including his New York Times best seller You Were Born Rich, his coaching programs, and live events.

T his is going to be an incredible book for some of you.

Why didnt I say, all of you? Because I want to stress the vital importance of making a decision to change your life. You decide if its going to be you.

Changing your paradigm takes a committed decision, because it goes in the opposite direction of nearly everything weve been taught. We go to school, take a book, read it, ask questions on the material, and then go on to another book. The truth is, we cant possibly understand the contents of the book this way. Reading something once and moving on is not going to do it.

Our paradigm was built through repetitionconstant, spaced repetitionand thats the way its going to be changed. But this makes little sense to most people: theyre relating to the way they have been and the way they were educated in the past, when they werent really being educated at all; they were merely gathering information.

Youll see people with very impressive degrees from prestigious universities who are struggling through their life. They dont have enough money; they dont hold down a good position. If they have their own company, they go bankrupt or go out of business. You think, Theyre so smart; how could this possibly happen?

The truth is, theyre not very smart at all. Theyve gathered a lot of information, but they dont use it. Their behavior is controlled by their paradigms, not by the information theyve got. Theyre not doing what they know how to do. For some strange reason, they never figure it out. They never stop and analyze their own behavior in relation to what they know.

Over the years, I have found that most people who are highly successful have unconscious competence. They cannot articulate why theyre doing so well. They may be multimillionaires and they may have built prestigious organizations, but they cannot transfer this knowledge to their children, because they dont know why theyre doing it. Theyll say, Well, I just do it. People think these individuals are pretty smart, but its got nothing to do with being smart. It has to do with their paradigm, because the paradigm controls us to an enormous degree.
