Why Repetition is Necessary When Changing Paradigms - Bob Proctor — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:01Hello there, and welcome. I'm Bob Proctor.
- 0:03Over the next few minutes,
- 0:05I'm going to share some ideas with you
- 0:07to give you and overview of something
- 0:09Sandy Gallagher and I, my business partner,
- 0:12are going to do
- 0:13in the very near future.
- 0:15I want you to pay really close attention to this.
- 0:17We've been doing this for a long time.
- 0:19I've been in this business now for 57 years.
- 0:23Sandy Gallagher has been in now for the past 10 years.
- 0:27And she spent her commercial career up to that point
- 0:29as a securities attorney.
- 0:34She was buying, selling banks, merging banks.
- 0:36She has a lot of information when it comes to money.
- 0:39So we formed a partnership about 10 years ago.
- 0:44I'd been in the business for many many years.
- 0:47And it's working very well.
- 0:49A lot of people are getting helped.
- 0:50Now, for the next few minutes I want to talk about you.
- 0:53I want you to just think about you for a moment.
- 0:56I want you to think about your life.
- 0:58I want you to think about how you're living
- 1:00versus how you'd really like to live.
- 1:02To see, pay close attention to what we're doing,
- 1:05and you're going to find out
- 1:08that you can actually create your own economy.
- 1:12Now, I learned that many years ago
- 1:14when a man told me,
- 1:16he said, "Bob if you'll read this book,
- 1:18and do exactly what it tells you,
- 1:20you can have anything you want."
- 1:21Now, I did not believe that.
- 1:23But after talking to Veral I believed he believed it.
- 1:24He was happy, he was healthy, he was wealthy.
- 1:28I was unhappy, I was sick, and I was broke.
- 1:30I had no formal education, I had no business experience.
- 1:33He said, "That doesn't matter Bob.
- 1:34What's happened in the past is the past.
- 1:37What happens in the future
- 1:39is based on the decisions you make."
- 1:40He said, "I know how to earn money.
- 1:43I know how to be happy,
- 1:45and I know how to stay healthy.
- 1:46If you'll do exactly what I tell you,
- 1:48your life will change."
- 1:49Would you know, it did.
- 1:51Over the next year, I multiplied my income.
- 1:52In fact, my life changed so much
- 1:58I made a decision on one thing:
- 2:01From that point on I would always have a mentor.
- 2:04I would have some kind of a coach.
- 2:06And I would pick someone that knows
- 2:08how to do what I want to do -
- 2:10And then I'd do exactly what they told me.
- 2:12And that's what I've done.
- 2:13And I've been doing that now for over half a century.
- 2:16I sat down and took a pen out one day
- 2:18and said, "I am going to build a company
- 2:20that operates all over the world."
- 2:22Well, right now I'm broadcasting all over the world.
- 2:24And I'm going to show you
- 2:26how you can really make things happen.
- 2:28Growth is a normal part of life.
- 2:33If something is not growing, it's dying.
- 2:35Now if we're going to grow
- 2:37there's one thing that we're gonna have to do:
- 2:38We're going to have to change.
- 2:40We cannot stay where we are and get better results.
- 2:43It just doesn't work.
- 2:45Now this man said to me, "Bob
- 2:47you change your paradigm and you change your life."
- 2:49I didn't even know what paradigm was.
- 2:52I certainly didn't know how to spell it,
- 2:54didn't understand it.
- 2:55He says let me show you what a paradigm is.
- 2:57He says, you told me that you wanna turn more money.
- 3:00That's all I wanted.
- 3:02I figured if I had enough money, my problems would go away.
- 3:04See, I was earning a little bit, and I owed a lot.
- 3:07I owed everybody money,
- 3:08and I couldn't seem to get outta debt.
- 3:10I just couldn't seem to do it.
- 3:12I'd pay one bill and another one would pop up.
- 3:14Well he said let me tell you something.
- 3:16There's two things that you must know
- 3:18if you're gonna create wealth.
- 3:19They're not difficult.
- 3:21Anyone can learn them.
- 3:22You have to know where you are.
- 3:23You have to know where you're going.
- 3:24And then, you've gotta get moving in that direction.
- 3:27Now, this is so simple, and so obvious,
- 3:29that when you start studying this
- 3:33you're going to ask yourself "Why are so many people stuck?"
- 3:36And I'm going to tell you a lot of people are stuck.
- 3:38Most people get the same result this year
- 3:40as they got last year.
- 3:42Oh, it may have fluctuated a little bit but not very much.
- 3:44You know, with the potential we've got
- 3:46we should double, triple, quadtriple
- 3:47our potential, our results.
- 3:50Because we're God's highest form of grace.
- 3:53We've got mental powers that would blow you away
- 3:55as you start to study them.
- 3:57So the obvious answer is then the people mustn't have goals.
- 4:00And I suppose that's true in a lot of cases.
- 4:02But I think a lot of people have goals,
- 4:05they just don't know how to get them.
- 4:06I don't think that's where the problem is.
- 4:07The problems over here
- 4:09in understanding where we are.
- 4:10And most people really don't understand where they are.
- 4:13Oh, they know where they are physically.
- 4:14You know, I'm standing in the middle of a field,
- 4:16in a farm, in so, so.
- 4:17I'm walking down a main street in 5th Avenue, New York.
- 4:21They know where they are physically,
- 4:22but mentally they don't know where they are.
- 4:24They don't know why they keep getting the same results
- 4:26over and over and over.
- 4:27They keep same reoccurring problem.
- 4:30Well, he says I'm going to tell you why.
- 4:33It's because of paradigms.
- 4:34Because of paradigms.
- 4:38And then he said, Bob,
- 4:39you've gotta learn to control the flow
- 4:41of the thought energy,
- 4:42and you've got to let it flow freely to and through you,
- 4:44and it'll improve everything that it connects with.
- 4:49See there's an energy flowing to and through us.
- 4:51I'm not going to take the time to go into it here,
- 4:53but you can actually photograph the energy leaving the body.
- 4:56I think you may have seen that or heard of it.
- 4:58Its called Kirlian photography.
- 5:00A man named Semyon Kirlian, back in 1934,
- 5:02in Russia, perfected a form of photography
- 5:05where you photograph mass,
- 5:07and you photograph the energy coming from it.
- 5:08This thing we're living in is a mass of energy.
- 5:10Did you know there's about
- 5:1211 million Killowatt hours per pound
- 5:14potential energy locked up in the electrons
- 5:16of the atoms of our body.
- 5:18We're just walking dynamos.
- 5:20We don't understand how to direct it.
- 5:22Well let's take a look.
- 5:25What is a paradigm?
- 5:26A paradigm is a mental program
- 5:27that has almost, I say almost,
- 5:30exclusive control over our habitual behavior.
- 5:34Now, think of this for a moment...
- 5:36Almost all of our behavior is habitual.
- 5:39So what we're really saying is
- 5:42that paradigms are controlling our life.
- 5:43We're not controlling our life at all.
- 5:45Now consider this.
- 5:47People go to school.
- 5:48They gather all kinds of information.
- 5:50They may have degrees
- 5:51come right of the end of their business card.
- 5:53So they're not lacking in the smarts department.
- 5:56In the intellect department.
- 5:57They've got the knowledge.
- 5:59They're not using it.
- 6:00Why do so many people graduate form university,
- 6:02deep in debt from going to university,
- 6:05and you can't find work?
- 6:07How can you have all that knowledge,
- 6:09and you can't find work?
- 6:11How could you have all that knowledge and be broke?
- 6:13Well, I'm telling you why.
- 6:14It's because of paradigms.
- 6:15Now, this is an interesting subject.
- 6:17This is a black and white matter.
- 6:18This isn't, there's no grey matter here.
- 6:20It doesn't matter how hard you work.
- 6:22It doesn't matter how many hours you put in.
- 6:24I've been working at this for over 50 years.
- 6:27I'm very familiar with it.
- 6:29If the paradigm does not change,
- 6:30ultimately the results will remain much the same
- 6:32from one year to the next.
- 6:34And that's really what happens to most people.
- 6:37If you only remember one thing I'm saying
- 6:40I want you to burn this into your mind:
- 6:42When paradigms stay in control
- 6:45nothing changes.
- 6:47You can try as hard as you want
- 6:49to change some area in your life.
- 6:51If the paradigm remains in control,
- 6:53you're toast.
- 6:55It just will not work.
- 6:57So, we got to ask ourselves some questions:
- 6:59How do we control the flow?
- 7:01Well, we've got the ability to choose.
- 7:03We've got phenomenal mental faculties.
- 7:06What is a Paradigm Shift?
- 7:08What is it?
- 7:10Well, it's an interesting thing.
- 7:12When we really cause a paradigm shift everything happens.
- 7:15Now, we're doing a program.
- 7:17It's called a Paradigm Shift.
- 7:19It's a seminar.
- 7:21I don't care where you are in the world.
- 7:23I can come right on to your pad,
- 7:25right on to your computer,
- 7:27right onto your phone,
- 7:28anywhere in the world where there's an internet connection,
- 7:31and you can attend a seminar
- 7:33that I'm doing with Sandy Gallagher on Paradigms.
- 7:37It is a powerful program.
- 7:39And we're coming right into your home.
- 7:43Now what is it? It's a resourceful environment
- 7:46that we create,
- 7:47where people form all over the world collaborate
- 7:49they mastermind, and explore opportunities
- 7:52while developing financial independence
- 7:56by setting up Multiple Sources of Income.
- 7:59Look at that phrase right at the bottom of the slide.
- 8:03Multiple Sources of Income.
- 8:05Way back, many years ago,
- 8:07I was trying to figure out,
- 8:10what do wealthy people do that's so different?
- 8:12I've met wealthy people that were absolutely brilliant
- 8:14and you can understand why they're wealthy.
- 8:16But I've met other people, aren't very bright at all.
- 8:18And they're also wealthy.
- 8:20So its a cross section of people.
- 8:23You'll find men and women.
- 8:25You'll find young and old.
- 8:26You'll find from every nation.
- 8:29Every culture.
- 8:30You'll find the wealthy and poor.
- 8:33Well, what is the concept.
- 8:36Wealthy people all almost without exception
- 8:39I say almost because I don't know
- 8:42for certain if everybody does.
- 8:44But I'm inclined to think they do -
- 8:46they have multiple sources,
- 8:47they don't have one source of income,
- 8:49they have many sources of income.
- 8:52I have sources of income from all over the world,
- 8:54because I've set up a company
- 8:56that operates all over the world.
- 8:57But we show you how to do that too.
- 8:59You can.
- 9:00You can earn money while you're sleeping.
- 9:02I did last night.
- 9:03And I will tonight.
- 9:04And you can too.
- 9:06The Paradigm Shift seminar is a beauty.
- 9:07There's only two ways,
- 9:08two known ways, to change a paradigm.
- 9:10Just two.
- 9:11Go ask any psychologist, any psychiatrist,
- 9:13the paradigm is like a program in our mind
- 9:15that controls our behavior.
- 9:18Doesn't matter how much we know,
- 9:20our behavior is controlled by the paradigm.
- 9:21Now, the first way is the constant spaced repetition of ideas
- 9:24that are essentially the opposite to the paradigm.
- 9:28That's what our paradigm shift seminar is all about.
- 9:34That's what I'm inviting you to.
- 9:36Now the other way,
- 9:38it doesn't happen very often,
- 9:40That's the personally experience of an emotional impact.
- 9:43I'll give you an example:
- 9:45Nine-eleven in New York
- 9:46the buildings coming down,
- 9:49that was an emotional impact.
- 9:50Not for me, probably not for you.
- 9:51It was a terrible thing that everybody would agree,
- 9:55was an absolute catastrophe.
- 9:57It was a paradigm shift for the people that were involved
- 10:01in that area when that happened
- 10:04that (whoosh), their lives changed.
- 10:06The family of people that were killed there.
- 10:09Paradigm shift.
- 10:10That doesn't happen often.
- 10:11You can count on the other one:
- 10:13A constant spaced repetition, I'm going to show you why.
- 10:15Now, look at this for a moment:
- 10:18Why repetition is necessary
- 10:20when changing paradigms?
- 10:21Now, you've probably attended a Paradigm Shift seminar.
- 10:24Go back and attend another one,
- 10:27and another one, and another one.
- 10:29I started to read this book 57 years ago
- 10:30I'm still reading it.
- 10:32I have a book here open on my desk
- 10:35let me get this over here
- 10:37let me grab it.
- 10:43I have it open.
- 10:45I've been reading this, these two pages,
- 10:47for three months.
- 10:49Because I know that's how paradigms change.
- 10:53It's repetition that actually changes it.
- 10:56Now, here's why:
- 10:57I want you look at this for a moment:
- 10:59Let the white line that I'm going to put on here,
- 11:01represent the sound of my voice.
- 11:04The red line represents you listening
- 11:07to the sound of my voice.
- 11:09The white line represents my voice.
- 11:11Now think, so you go along and you're listening.
- 11:13Now there's a difference between listening and hearing.
- 11:16You can hear me and not listen to me.
- 11:19Kids are like that with there parents.
- 11:21Most people are like that with their spouse.
- 11:23They hear them but they're not listening to them.
- 11:25And so they're in trouble.
- 11:27You know, that's the way it works.
- 11:29So think of what I'm saying again:
- 11:31The white line represents the sound of me talking.
- 11:33The red line represents you listening to me talking.
- 11:36Now I'll go on and I'll be explaining something,
- 11:39and bang, an idea will hit,
- 11:41where do you go?
- 11:42You can go off on a thought trip.
- 11:44You see, those lines are what we call a thought frequency.
- 11:47And you'll be up here
- 11:48and you'll be thinking about that idea that hits your mind.
- 11:51All the while, the white lines still going.
- 11:54But you don't hear it.
- 11:55You do hear it,
- 11:57you don't listen to it.
- 12:00And then you come back down, and you start listening again.
- 12:02And you go along, and bang, another idea hits,
- 12:04and away you go on another thought trip.
- 12:07So you see, that is why
- 12:09we can listen to the same thing over and over
- 12:12and you'll say I never heard that on there before.
- 12:15I never heard that before.
- 12:17You could be reading it in a book and say
- 12:18I don't ever remember seeing that in the book.
- 12:21That is because you would be reading,
- 12:23your eyes are going,
- 12:24but your mind is off somewhere else.
- 12:26Now, think of this:
- 12:27If you see those red dots and they represent
- 12:30at the point
- 12:32in this seminar when you took an idea
- 12:34and you started to think about it.
- 12:36Let's suppose you come back to it again.
- 12:38Let's start, tear all this down for a moment.
- 12:40And we'll just leave the dots on there.
- 12:43Now, what do you suppose the odds are
- 12:46of you stopping on that idea
- 12:48the next time you hear the same thing?
- 12:50It isn't going to happen.
- 12:52You're going to come down there.
- 12:53You see, the odds of you stopping at the same point
- 12:56you're not going do it.
- 12:57So, you're only getting emotionally involved
- 13:00in the idea once,
- 13:01And then you're get another idea at another place.
- 13:05Through repetition, everything in your life starts to change.
- 13:09Now, I never knew that,
- 13:11But I started to read this book.
- 13:14Then I started to listen to
- 13:15a recording of Earl Nightingale's
- 13:17by way back in 1961.
- 13:19I was so fascinated by what Earl was talking about
- 13:21I couldn't stop listening to it.
- 13:2310 years later, I was living in England.
- 13:26I was earning over a million dollars a year.
- 13:28I had business in seven different cities
- 13:31in Canada, the U.S. and England.
- 13:33I was earning all kinds of money
- 13:34and started to ask myself, "How did this happen?"
- 13:36And I could not figure it out.
- 13:38I had been raised to believe
- 13:40if you're going to earn a lot of money,
- 13:41you got to be really smart.
- 13:42I knew I wasn't that smart,
- 13:44but I was earning a lot of money.
- 13:45I was raised to believe that if you don't go to school
- 13:46you can't get a good job.
- 13:47I didn't have a good job,
- 13:49I owned the whole company.
- 13:50So, then I started to think a lot of the stuff I believe
- 13:53isn't even true.
- 13:54And then I start to think, "How the heck did I change?"
- 13:57And so, I started to study.
- 13:58It took me about nine and a half years.
- 14:00And when I figured it out,
- 14:02all I wanted to do was teach it.
- 14:04I reasoned it was because of the repetition.
- 14:07I kept listening to this material.
- 14:08I was starting with records
- 14:10and then we get into cassettes,
- 14:12and on and on it goes, and then we're online.
- 14:13But, it's the repetition of hearing
- 14:16the same thing over and over and over again.
- 14:18And that's what happens to people.
- 14:20That's why almost all welfare recipients
- 14:22are third, fourth, fifth generation welfare recipients.
- 14:23That's all they heard when they were a kid.
- 14:25They were programmed with it at a very early age
- 14:26by the people around them.
- 14:29That's why we learn the language we learn.
- 14:30Can you imagine where you'd be if I said,
- 14:32"Hi, My name is Bob, what's yours?"
- 14:34You wouldn't know your name if your mother
- 14:36or dad just told you once.
- 14:37They tell you over and over and over and over
- 14:38and pretty soon they'll say, "Bob,"
- 14:42and you'll start recognizing, okay.
- 14:44Now listen carefully,
- 14:47all you have to do is make a decision.
- 14:49I want you to make a decision right now,
- 14:51that we're going to deliver a seminar,
- 14:54that you're going to attend it.
- 14:55You can do it wherever you are.
- 14:57It's very inexpensive.
- 14:58And I'm going to tell you, you're going to gain so much knowledge
- 15:01from this, it's absolutely phenomenal.
- 15:03Now, the beautiful part about this.
- 15:05It's about two and a half, three days.
- 15:08If you can't stay there for that whole length of time,
- 15:11you stay for part of it
- 15:13you get it all recorded.
- 15:15You can come back and you can cut in anywhere you want.
- 15:17And you can do that for up to two weeks.
- 15:19So you can spend a couple weeks really studying this.
- 15:22Gather phenomenal information.
- 15:24It just takes a decision.
- 15:26So you mention here that all people that are successful
- 15:29he spends his whole life, Hill did.
- 15:32Napoleon Hill
- 15:34studying successful people.
- 15:35He said, "All successful people make decisions very fast
- 15:38and change them very slow
- 15:40if and when they change them at all."
- 15:41I want you to decide right now that you're going to do this.
- 15:44You're going to do it.
- 15:45You're going to build a new model.
- 15:47Buckminster Fuller, the man that built the geodesic dome,
- 15:49he said something interesting.
- 15:50He said, "You never change things
- 15:52by fighting existing reality.
- 15:54To change things, you build a new model
- 15:56that makes the existing model obsolete."
- 15:58Do you know what you'll learn
- 16:00in that two and a half days
- 16:02in the seminar we're streaming right into your home?
- 16:04First of all, you can get your whole family involved.
- 16:05Get your kids involved.
- 16:07They'll understand it.
- 16:08You know what you're going to find?
- 16:11You're going to figure out how to build a new model.
- 16:13How to live the life that you want.
- 16:14We're God's highest form of creation.
- 16:16Do you know that all the other little creatures on the planet
- 16:19are completely at home in their environment?
- 16:20They blend in.
- 16:23Think about it.
- 16:24Little, birds, squirrels, deer,
- 16:28they blend into their environment.
- 16:30You and I are the only creature on the planet
- 16:32that's totally disoriented in our environment,
- 16:34and that is because we've been given the ability
- 16:38to create our own environment.
- 16:40We can sit down,
- 16:41we can take a pen
- 16:43and we can decree our own destiny.
- 16:46Now, that's what you're going to learn
- 16:48in this seminar.
- 16:50It's so inexpensive,
