Bob Proctor Reviews
Legit or Scam?
Bob Proctor
is another one of those guys that was facing
a life of poverty and struggle yet was able
to turn it around. After working many
dead end jobs he moved to Chicago to work
for his life time heroes Earl Nightingale
and Lloyd Conant. He worked his way up
to V.P. of sales.
Bob Proctor used the skills he learned
there to start his own seminar and sales
training company. For over twenty
years he worked with Prudential Insurance,
creating custom sales training courses for
over 20,000 sales people. Several
years after that Bob Proctor moved on to do
the same for Re/max.
I could never doubt the success of Bob
Proctor, he has worked with several large
corporations and has helped transform their
sales staffs. However the personal
training that Bob Proctor offers is mostly
theoretical with no clear path to becoming
wealthy.
Bob Proctor's infomercials would have you
believe that he's going to teach you how to
make money. However, he tends to focus
more on improving self qualities and
changing peoples mentalities. That
maybe what some people are looking for, but
I know that when I'm paying to listen to a
millionaire talk I'm not there to get a
motivational speech, I want to know how he
made all that money.
If people are looking for someone to show
them how to make money in a formulaic way
then Bob Proctor
is not the guy for them. If you need a
spiritual and motivational pick me up then
you can listen to his materials.

Chrissy Boston | 8:45am on April 6th, 2012  | I don't know why there's so many bad comments in here. I came here before I purchased the program but went with it anyway because of intuition.
I've been in the program for only 2 months (11 more to go) and I'm already seeing ridiculous success. This is by far one of the best programs I've been involved in.
My mastermind group call are phenomenal. They definitely help me keep on track and are one of the best support systems.
The coaching call with Bob and the homework assignments have opened my eyes to so many opportunities and have increased my awareness more than I thought was possible.
I got involved with this because I was currently making $52,000 in annual income. So about $4,333 a month. Last month I made $6,226 and this month I'm expecting to make about $7,000 (and I'm being totally realistic).
I'll admit the price for the program is expensive, but it's definitely life changing and I think I can make what I paid and more within the next few months. |
José Brazil | 8:21am on March 13th, 2012  | I want to thank the others above for the time they took to warn us away from Bob Proctor. I didn't take the course, I'm evaluating it and already had a bad feeling about it.
First, nowhere do they mention the price of the course without first having to provide a lot of personal information. What are they afraid of?
Second, all over their ad copy they infer that you are going to get tons of personal time with Bob Proctor, in private coaching and small group coaching. Yet here, people are saying that Bob's not even part of the program, except for the occasional webcast to a massive group.
For example, in his FAQs, he refers to the 10-person mastermind group as the Bob Proctor Coaching Master Mind Group. Yet, there's no Bob Proctor and no Coaching! Pure deception.
Also, he offers nothing for free. In these past few decades of youtube and blogs this man has only a small handful of videos up, they are all short and they are all incomplete, only serving as advertising for his expensive offerrings. He offers nothing on his website, either. He has a right, too, I'm simply saying that this speaks volumes about his character, that he won't contribute any value to the world unless he is paid thousands of dollars for it.
And finally, he strikes me as insincere and sleazy. He doesn't have a down to earth, natural, honest way about him. He seems like a pushy salesmen, which is of course what he his, and how he made his money training other salespeople to be this way during the sleazy-salesmen era of the U.S. economy.

Chris Hawkins Los Angeles | 2:41pm on December 9th, 2011  | Same experience as above... except they don't even send you the Cd's or books or anything now.. they just post it on the member's website for a week and you must download or print it all at your own expense. The cost for this program is absolutely ridiculous for what it provides. |
Jason Marucci Canfield, OH | 5:46am on December 2nd, 2011  | Beware the ethics of Bob Proctor and his Life Success Publishing. I purchased a $997.00 program from Bob in September of 2009. The program was to begin in 2010 and was to be put on by a Gerry Roberts. I was assigned a case manager and all my intake information was collected. Later the program was canceled and I was told it had something to do with a parting of Gerry and Bob, regardless it has been over 2 years that I have been attempting to get a refund or an exchange of like services from Life Success Publishing with no luck. I have left numerous messages and now no one even returns my phone calls. Anyone else in this situation? I would be cautious in dealing with Bob as his ethics seem to be out on money. -Jason Marucci |
Sue Texas | 1:39pm on October 22nd, 2011  | I have watched my friend give thousands to receive this coaching program. $8,000+. Noone is coached by Bob Proctor himself, that is true. She paid this money to be put in a "mastermind group" which is nothing more than a group of people who have, like you, spent thousands and are all encouraging one another to succeed. They talk about what their "wants".
There are hundreds of support groups and chat groups that are free for those who want to connect with others and talk about their hopes and dreams.
Heck, Oprah offers a free chat room with personal growth assignment. Free. What people are being told their money is buying is NOT what they get. They get a chat room and a few additional books. The sad thing is that noone needs to pay thousands for a chat room. |
marie Louise Heffernan galway | 1:36am on June 19th, 2011  | I spent a full dollar on my introductory 6 mins to success videos and I have since decided to expand my flailing business into a more lucrative sector. Thanks to bob I now understand what area I want to work in. He also sent me links to other programs video boss and brendan buchard and I am developing products and marketing along those lines. All for one dollar! thanks bob |
Agreed! US | 1:27am on June 2nd, 2011  | Gina - exactly. Carol is extremely arrogant and unhelpful. I don't get it because one would think the people running the coaching program would have studied some of the material. One of Bob's big things is "how do I increase my service?" Carol's philosophy is "how can I put this person in their place?" Sad because Bob has so much to offer, but they can't translate it into the coaching program and Bob doesn't even have any idea I don't think. I was told the same promises and when I complained, they don't even answer. |
Bruce USA | 4:53pm on April 21st, 2011  | I looked into Bob Proctor's Secret Income System because of my interest in The Secret and because someone posted a link on Facebook. I was sent to a page where you get to listen to one motivational video per day. He talks a good talk about breaking out of our old thinking pattern, but offers little else.
In the end I was dumped on a MLM (multi level marketing or network marketing) product page and was expected to join that group and help them sell their products. It instantly became clear to me that all Bob is doing is recruiting people into MLM businesses. He and his cronies see a new startup MLM, join at the start and then convince thousands of others to join below them. This is a great idea if you get in at the start, but if the MLM has been in existence for a while, there's not much chance of making money in it.
While Bob does offer some nice free motivational videos, I'd hesitate to line his pockets by joining his 'network'. |
RR Canada | 11:58am on January 24th, 2011  | I agree with everything Gina above said and could say much more.
Please be careful and don't use Bob Proctor's services. |
Me Australia | 6:13am on June 28th, 2010  | Bob wouldn't be so rich if his stuff wasn't any good! |
liz Hennessy Melbourne Australia | 8:48am on May 22nd, 2010  | Bob Proctors "6 minutes to success is an excellent program. I used it for a few months and got what I needed from it and had no problems canceling it when I wanted to. I would recommend his company to anyone who is looking for an extra dose of motivation each day. |
G. B Norway | 1:25pm on May 19th, 2010  | Bob Proctor is running a serious scam. I enrolled in his six minutes to success web program just to check it out, it was priced at 1$ and supposedly easy to cancel if unsatisfied.
Haha. Look everywhere on the site, there is absolutely NO information on how to cancel. I even mailed them, twice, asking to cancel my subscription. It's been over two weeks since the first, and one week since the second e-mail and I have heard nothing.
They did manage to bill my account however... I just hope people don't buy into more of his bs.
Peace |
J. T, K earth | 12:06am on July 18th, 2009  | It was life transforming... the difference for me is that I kept studying and applying the information in my life... and working with the principles...
It changed my life.... it saved my life and it seems that everything I am trying now, just works. |
Tony D. Philadelphia | 7:21am on April 29th, 2008  | It never seizes to amaze me that some people look to place blame on outside forces when they fail while the whole time the real problem resides inside themselves. I highly recommend to anyone before venturing out on anything that they read Chapter 1 of Jack Campfield's book, The Success Principles. Read it, digest it, apply it and stop playing the blame game when you take a chance and lose |
Gina Curley Colorado | 8:37pm on April 7th, 2008  | The Bob Proctor Coaching Program, which is run by Carol Gates, is counterproductive. The program targets the weak and capitalizes on people with low self-esteem so that the company can continue to make more money by selling more products and so-called services. Whereas I believe in Bob Proctor's philosophy of visualization and feel that he can provide a lot of valuable insight, I do not agree with the tactic that the Bob Proctor Coaching Program uses. The program takes advantage of people's vulnerability and their quest to improve by charging an exorbitant amount of money for a shoddy service.
In October of 2007, my husband and I enrolled in the Bob Proctor Coaching Program for a "discounted" rate of $11,000. Just like their advertisements, the recruiter promised that we would "be coached by Bob Proctor himself". The recruiter also informed us that Bob would be communicating with each of us on a one-on-one basis. Here's what actually happens:
- Participants are assigned to a "Master Mind Group" consisting of approximately 10 members. Although members are required to complete a detailed questionnaire, the groups appear to be set up in an arbitrary manner.
- The Master Mind Groups are instructed to conduct weekly conference calls with each session lasting one hour. Each participant is asked to provide his or her 'wins' for the week. Once that is done, they are asked to provide their "wants and needs". For as long as I was in the Program (from November 2007 to February 2008), Carol Gates never facilitated or participated in the master mind group’s calls.
- The company will ship you the following books and CDs: The Winner's Image, The Goal Achiever, The Success Puzzle, You Were Born Rich, Working with Law and You2.
- There are also occasional conference calls in which Bob Proctor lectures to the masses via teleconference as well as allowing some time at the end for a Q&A session at the end; however, those calls are often scheduled at an inconvenient time of day where most people are working at their steady jobs.
Summary: The cost of $11,000 does not justify the cost of the books, CDs, and a conference call service. And it certainly does not justify the coaching service.
When I had written Carol Gates a letter expressing my dissatisfaction and requesting at least a partial refund, she refused. She went through the motions of attempting to help, but implied that I was the one with the problem because "I do not resonate with any facet of the program" despite the fact that "the program works very well and that they have many testimonials to that affect".
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to pass on this information! It is my hope that others don't fall into this same trap. In contrast to what the message this program communicates, I am a hard worker with a respectable income and have achieved a certain level of success in my life. |
