An accessible guide to the principles of success by one of the most respected and sought-after motivational speakers of our time. In the tradition of Og Mandino and Zig Ziglar, this inspirational guide uses a wide variety of subjects, from “Achievement” to “Worry,” to bring clarity, information, and motivation to readers.

For millions of readers, Bob Proctor's name is synonymous with success. A former protégé of personal development pioneer Earl Nightingale, Proctor first built a wildly successful business career, and then an internationally successful speaking career, elaborating on the principles of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich and other classic success and prosperity texts. His position in the business motivation community equals that of Stephen Covey or Og Mandino. But unlike those masters, his books have never been available through a trade press—until now.

In The ABCs of Success—the first trade book ever published by this master of motivation and prosperity—Proctor goes beyond the simple laws of success and attraction, weighing in on sixty-seven different topics essential to anyone who wants to make their dreams a reality, including persistence, winning, effectiveness, and vision. Organized in an A-to-Z fashion and composed of brief essays that can be read over and over again, The ABCs of Success is an essential resource for anyone who wants the combined wisdom of a century of success thinking in a single, accessible volume. Praise for The ABCs of Success:

Praise for Bob Proctor:

“Zig Ziglar may be the master motivator, Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield of Chicken Soup for the Soul, the master story tellers; Anthony Robbins may be the guru of personal development, but Bob Proctor is the master thinker. When it comes to systemizing life, no one can touch him.”
—Doug Wead, presidential historian, philanthropist and public speaker

"Bob Proctor is known to so many as someone to listen to, to watch, to learn from. The secret gift of Bob is that he gives you to yourself. A return to innocence, where a paradigm shift takes place, if you allow. From there, awake and aware, you can be anything you want."
—Paul Gilman, musician, producer and composer, and owner of GilmanSound
