If you’ve ever watched the Secret, or heard about the law of attraction, then you’ve certainly know of my next guest. But if not, or if you’re wondering how do you actually put these laws into place, turn your life around, and generate the income you desire, then do we have the show for you!
Today I’m honored to be interviewing the legendary Bob Proctor, the last living teacher with a direct link to the great lineage of Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon hill and Earl Nightingale.
He’s starred in the secret, wrote countless best-sellers, and today we’ll be speaking with him about his latest, and arguably his greatest book, The Art of Living.
Today I want clarity for you our audience. So many people talk about the law of attraction, but often times we have it backwards or flipped upside down. And so we remain stuck, or perhaps even feel worse about ourselves or our circumstances, that we can’t attract the prosperity or happiness into our lives we desire.
So today with Bob’s help, we’ll do our best to make things clear, shatter some myths, work on your attraction skills and help you home your manifestation skills. In short we’ll work on your Art of Living.
That, plus we’ll talk about the power of cleaning floors, when passing out is a good thing, how to write a best-seller in a week, and when 135 = 160...
