0:56What should someone think about if they're struggling financially right now or they feel like they've been struggling for many years and it feels like they're just surviving week after week, month after month, they're not sure how to get to that kind of sense of freedom for at least a six-month runway or beyond, what should they start thinking about? Do you know what you've just described? I believe the majority of people are living that way, the majority. Now, that's rather sad, but I think it's true. And it's because we only have one problem in the whole world, and that's ignorance. They're living in ignorance.

1:28They don't know that what they're doing is going to keep them where they are. and they keep doing it because they don't know how to change. They're overwhelmed with the debt. People are saying, I need the money. They haven't got it. They want to take their family on a vacation. They don't have the money to go. So they may borrow it and go anyway. Now they've got more debt. They have to understand that they don't have to live that way. I wrote a book called You're Born Rich. The truth is you are. most people are just a little short of money. But you are born rich, rich in potential. Anybody can go to our site, go to BobProctor.com, you can download the book, You Were Born Rich, free.

2:13It won't cost you a cent. And chapter two is how much is enough. There's a, it's described very well how to get out of debt. You gotta create a debt repayment program where it's all done automatically. And then you focus on prosperity. You've gotta have a financial goal, you've gotta work toward it, And you've got to understand that you can earn more than you're earning. And wealthy people don't have one source of income. They have more than one. I was earning money all last night while I was sleeping. You can actually earn more money when you're sleeping than you can spend when you're awake. You know, it sounds like a cute line, but it's true.

2:52There's no end to what we can earn. if you are not getting information from someone who is already wealthy then you're probably getting information from the wrong people most people ask their brother-in-law the guy next door the girl they know how do i earn more hell if they knew they'd be earning it they don't know and most people talk to people that don't know carlisle put it very well he said he did not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance and that's where most people are getting from people who don't know any more than themselves. I think you have to go, that's why these seminars are so important today.

3:26People have the opportunity to go and learn. Most people won't pay to go. I tell people, listen, you invest in this, it'll probably be the, borrow the money to do it, it's probably the last time you'll ever have to borrow money. We, our seminars are not rah-rah, it's not nothing. Our seminars teach people about themselves. It's like when Bill Goff said, if I want to be free, I got to be me. I'm thinking I better know who me is. I didn't know who me was. I was doing a lot of things. I was doing them right and I was earning money, but I didn't know who I was. I started to study me. And the more I know me, the better I know you.

4:03You only have to study yourself. You'll know what everybody, because we're all the same. It's our behavior that's different. Our results that are different. I heard a friend of mine, Dean Graziosi. I don't know if he coined this or someone else said it. And he said it from someone else, we said those that pay pay attention and when you invest in yourself you're paying attention to I never heard that before but that is the truth those that pay pay attention if you don't pay for it you're not going to pay as much attention if you pay more you'll pay more attention to learn I had an aunt and uncle who were as poor as church mice I mean they just didn't have anything and they had a whole house full of kids and I used to drop by their house periodically I was doing very well and I was teaching seminar and I remember it was around Christmas time and he was rushing around trying to get credit cards from some big stores so they could buy presents for the kids yeah and I said you know something he said never mind next year I'll be different I said you know something next year is gonna be exactly the same as it is this year because you never change you Wow I said you should get into the seminars and learn something.

5:10I know something you don't know. Well, they came to the seminar. He got paid every two weeks. So that meant three times a year, I think he'd get paid three times, maybe four times a year. He'd get paid three times in a month. That one pay was extra because they were budgeted for two pays. I made them pay to come to it. Something said I made them pay. And I think they thought I should have comped them into it. But you know, Mark thanked me, my aunt I don't know how many times that I charged them she said we wouldn't have kept coming I didn't even know what you were talking about I was running seminars it was seven evenings from seven to ten it was running over a series of nights years ago and she said I wouldn't have kept coming but she said because we paid I came of course he's right if they pay they pay attention that is so true

Bob Proctor, a legendary figure in personal development, shares his profound insights on breaking free from financial struggles and tapping into your innate potential for wealth. With decades of experience transforming lives, Proctor challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding money and success. He argues that the root cause of financial hardship isn't a lack of resources, but a lack of knowledge – a form of "ignorance" that keeps people trapped in cycles of debt and scarcity.

In this eye-opening conversation, Proctor offers practical strategies for listeners to rewrite their financial stories.
