Hello there, and welcome. I'm Bob Proctor.

Over the next few minutes, I'm going to share some ideas with you to give you and overview of something Sandy Gallagher and I, my business partner, are going to do in the very near future.

I want you to pay really close attention to this.

We've been doing this for a long time.

I've been in this business now for 57 years.

Sandy Gallagher has been in now for the past 10 years.

And she spent her commercial career up to that point as a securities attorney.

She was buying, selling banks, merging banks.

She has a lot of information when it comes to money.

So we formed a partnership about 10 years ago.

I'd been in the business for many many years.

And it's working very well.

A lot of people are getting helped.

Now, for the next few minutes I want to talk about you.

I want you to just think about you for a moment.

I want you to think about your life.

I want you to think about how you're living versus how you'd really like to live.

To see, pay close attention to what we're doing, and you're going to find out that you can actually create your own economy.

Now, I learned that many years ago when a man told me, he said, "Bob if you'll read this book, and do exactly what it tells you, you can have anything you want." Now, I did not believe that.

But after talking to Veral I believed he believed it.

He was happy, he was healthy, he was wealthy.

I was unhappy, I was sick, and I was broke.

I had no formal education, I had no business experience.

He said, "That doesn't matter Bob.

What's happened in the past is the past.

What happens in the future is based on the decisions you make." He said, "I know how to earn money.

I know how to be happy, and I know how to stay healthy.

If you'll do exactly what I tell you, your life will change." Would you know, it did.

Over the next year, I multiplied my income.

In fact, my life changed so much I made a decision on one thing: From that point on I would always have a mentor.

I would have some kind of a coach.

And I would pick someone that knows how to do what I want to do - And then I'd do exactly what they told me.

And that's what I've done.

And I've been doing that now for over half a century.

I sat down and took a pen out one day and said, "I am going to build a company that operates all over the world." Well, right now I'm broadcasting all over the world.

And I'm going to show you how you can really make things happen.

Growth is a normal part of life.

If something is not growing, it's dying.

Now if we're going to grow there's one thing that we're gonna have to do: We're going to have to change.

We cannot stay where we are and get better results.

It just doesn't work.

Now this man said to me, "Bob you change your paradigm and you change your life." I didn't even know what paradigm was.

I certainly didn't know how to spell it, didn't understand it.

He says let me show you what a paradigm is.

He says, you told me that you wanna turn more money.

That's all I wanted.

I figured if I had enough money, my problems would go away.

See, I was earning a little bit, and I owed a lot.

I owed everybody money, and I couldn't seem to get outta debt.

I just couldn't seem to do it.

I'd pay one bill and another one would pop up.

Well he said let me tell you something.

There's two things that you must know if you're gonna create wealth.

They're not difficult.

Anyone can learn them.

You have to know where you are.

You have to know where you're going.

And then, you've gotta get moving in that direction.

Now, this is so simple, and so obvious, that when you start studying this you're going to ask yourself "Why are so many people stuck?" And I'm going to tell you a lot of people are stuck.

Most people get the same result this year as they got last year.

Oh, it may have fluctuated a little bit but not very much.

You know, with the potential we've got we should double, triple, quadtriple our potential, our results.

Because we're God's highest form of grace.

We've got mental powers that would blow you away as you start to study them.

So the obvious answer is then the people mustn't have goals.

And I suppose that's true in a lot of cases.

But I think a lot of people have goals, they just don't know how to get them.

I don't think that's where the problem is.

The problems over here in understanding where we are.

And most people really don't understand where they are.

Oh, they know where they are physically.

You know, I'm standing in the middle of a field, in a farm, in so, so.

I'm walking down a main street in 5th Avenue, New York.

They know where they are physically, but mentally they don't know where they are.

They don't know why they keep getting the same results over and over and over.

They keep same reoccurring problem.

Well, he says I'm going to tell you why.

It's because of paradigms.

Because of paradigms.

And then he said, Bob, you've gotta learn to control the flow of the thought energy, and you've got to let it flow freely to and through you, and it'll improve everything that it connects with.

See there's an energy flowing to and through us.

I'm not going to take the time to go into it here, but you can actually photograph the energy leaving the body.

I think you may have seen that or heard of it.

Its called Kirlian photography.

A man named Semyon Kirlian, back in 1934, in Russia, perfected a form of photography where you photograph mass, and you photograph the energy coming from it.

This thing we're living in is a mass of energy.

Did you know there's about 11 million Killowatt hours per pound potential energy locked up in the electrons of the atoms of our body.

We're just walking dynamos.

We don't understand how to direct it.

Well let's take a look.

What is a paradigm?

A paradigm is a mental program that has almost, I say almost, exclusive control over our habitual behavior.

Now, think of this for a moment...

Almost all of our behavior is habitual.

So what we're really saying is that paradigms are controlling our life.

We're not controlling our life at all.

Now consider this.

People go to school.

They gather all kinds of information.

100

They may have degrees come right of the end of their business card.

101

So they're not lacking in the smarts department.

102

In the intellect department.

103

They've got the knowledge.

104

They're not using it.

105

Why do so many people graduate form university, deep in debt from going to university, and you can't find work?

106

How can you have all that knowledge, and you can't find work?

107

How could you have all that knowledge and be broke?

108

Well, I'm telling you why.

109

It's because of paradigms.

110

Now, this is an interesting subject.

111

This is a black and white matter.

112

This isn't, there's no grey matter here.

113

It doesn't matter how hard you work.

114

It doesn't matter how many hours you put in.

115

I've been working at this for over 50 years.

116

I'm very familiar with it.

117

If the paradigm does not change, ultimately the results will remain much the same from one year to the next.

118

And that's really what happens to most people.

119

If you only remember one thing I'm saying I want you to burn this into your mind: When paradigms stay in control nothing changes.

120

You can try as hard as you want to change some area in your life.

121

If the paradigm remains in control, you're toast.

122

It just will not work.

123

So, we got to ask ourselves some questions: How do we control the flow?

124

Well, we've got the ability to choose.

125

We've got phenomenal mental faculties.

126

What is a Paradigm Shift?

127

What is it?

128

Well, it's an interesting thing.

129

When we really cause a paradigm shift everything happens.

130

Now, we're doing a program.

131

It's called a Paradigm Shift.

132

It's a seminar.

133

I don't care where you are in the world.

134

I can come right on to your pad, right on to your computer, right onto your phone, anywhere in the world where there's an internet connection, and you can attend a seminar that I'm doing with Sandy Gallagher on Paradigms.

135

It is a powerful program.

136

And we're coming right into your home.

137

Now what is it? It's a resourceful environment that we create, where people form all over the world collaborate they mastermind, and explore opportunities while developing financial independence by setting up Multiple Sources of Income.

138

Look at that phrase right at the bottom of the slide.

139

Multiple Sources of Income.

140

Way back, many years ago, I was trying to figure out, what do wealthy people do that's so different?

141

I've met wealthy people that were absolutely brilliant and you can understand why they're wealthy.

142

But I've met other people, aren't very bright at all.

143

And they're also wealthy.

144

So its a cross section of people.

145

You'll find men and women.

146

You'll find young and old.

147

You'll find from every nation.

148

Every culture.

149

You'll find the wealthy and poor.

150

Well, what is the concept.

151

Wealthy people all almost without exception I say almost because I don't know for certain if everybody does.

152

But I'm inclined to think they do - they have multiple sources, they don't have one source of income, they have many sources of income.

153

I have sources of income from all over the world, because I've set up a company that operates all over the world.

154

But we show you how to do that too.

155

You can. You can earn money while you're sleeping.

156

I did last night.

157

And I will tonight.

158

And you can too.

159

The Paradigm Shift seminar is a beauty.

160

There's only two ways, two known ways, to change a paradigm.

161

Just two. Go ask any psychologist, any psychiatrist, the paradigm is like a program in our mind that controls our behavior.

162

Doesn't matter how much we know, our behavior is controlled by the paradigm.

163

Now, the first way is the constant spaced repetition of ideas that are essentially the opposite to the paradigm.

164

That's what our paradigm shift seminar is all about.

165

That's what I'm inviting you to.

166

Now the other way, it doesn't happen very often, That's the personally experience of an emotional impact.

167

I'll give you an example: Nine-eleven in New York the buildings coming down, that was an emotional impact.

168

Not for me, probably not for you.

169

It was a terrible thing that everybody would agree, was an absolute catastrophe.

170

It was a paradigm shift for the people that were involved in that area when that happened that (whoosh), their lives changed.

171

The family of people that were killed there.

172

Paradigm shift.

173

That doesn't happen often.

174

You can count on the other one: A constant spaced repetition, I'm going to show you why.

175

Now, look at this for a moment: Why repetition is necessary when changing paradigms?

176

Now, you've probably attended a Paradigm Shift seminar.

177

Go back and attend another one, and another one, and another one.

178

I started to read this book 57 years ago I'm still reading it.

179

I have a book here open on my desk let me get this over here let me grab it.

180

I have it open.

181

I've been reading this, these two pages, for three months.

182

Because I know that's how paradigms change.

183

It's repetition that actually changes it.

184

Now, here's why: I want you look at this for a moment: Let the white line that I'm going to put on here, represent the sound of my voice.

185

The red line represents you listening to the sound of my voice.

186

The white line represents my voice.

187

Now think, so you go along and you're listening.

188

Now there's a difference between listening and hearing.

189

You can hear me and not listen to me.

190

Kids are like that with there parents.

191

Most people are like that with their spouse.

192

They hear them but they're not listening to them.

193

And so they're in trouble.

194

You know, that's the way it works.

195

So think of what I'm saying again: The white line represents the sound of me talking.

196

The red line represents you listening to me talking.

197

Now I'll go on and I'll be explaining something, and bang, an idea will hit, where do you go?

198

You can go off on a thought trip.

199

You see, those lines are what we call a thought frequency.

200

And you'll be up here and you'll be thinking about that idea that hits your mind.

201

All the while, the white lines still going.

202

But you don't hear it.

203

You do hear it, you don't listen to it.

204

And then you come back down, and you start listening again.

205

And you go along, and bang, another idea hits, and away you go on another thought trip.

206

So you see, that is why we can listen to the same thing over and over and you'll say I never heard that on there before.

207

I never heard that before.

208

You could be reading it in a book and say I don't ever remember seeing that in the book.

209

That is because you would be reading, your eyes are going, but your mind is off somewhere else.

210

Now, think of this: If you see those red dots and they represent at the point in this seminar when you took an idea and you started to think about it.

211

Let's suppose you come back to it again.

212

Let's start, tear all this down for a moment.

213

And we'll just leave the dots on there.

214

Now, what do you suppose the odds are of you stopping on that idea the next time you hear the same thing?

215

It isn't going to happen.

216

You're going to come down there.

217

You see, the odds of you stopping at the same point you're not going do it.

218

So, you're only getting emotionally involved in the idea once, And then you're get another idea at another place.

219

Through repetition, everything in your life starts to change.

220

Now, I never knew that, But I started to read this book.

221

Then I started to listen to a recording of Earl Nightingale's by way back in 1961.

222

I was so fascinated by what Earl was talking about I couldn't stop listening to it.

223

10 years later, I was living in England.

224

I was earning over a million dollars a year.

225

I had business in seven different cities in Canada, the U.S. and England.

226

I was earning all kinds of money and started to ask myself, "How did this happen?" And I could not figure it out.

227

I had been raised to believe if you're going to earn a lot of money, you got to be really smart.

228

I knew I wasn't that smart, but I was earning a lot of money.

229

I was raised to believe that if you don't go to school you can't get a good job.

230

I didn't have a good job, I owned the whole company.

231

So, then I started to think a lot of the stuff I believe isn't even true.

232

And then I start to think, "How the heck did I change?" And so, I started to study.

233

It took me about nine and a half years.

234

And when I figured it out, all I wanted to do was teach it.

235

I reasoned it was because of the repetition.

236

I kept listening to this material.

237

I was starting with records and then we get into cassettes, and on and on it goes, and then we're online.

238

But, it's the repetition of hearing the same thing over and over and over again.

239

And that's what happens to people.

240

That's why almost all welfare recipients are third, fourth, fifth generation welfare recipients.

241

That's all they heard when they were a kid.

242

They were programmed with it at a very early age by the people around them.

243

That's why we learn the language we learn.

244

Can you imagine where you'd be if I said, "Hi, My name is Bob, what's yours?" You wouldn't know your name if your mother or dad just told you once.

245

They tell you over and over and over and over and pretty soon they'll say, "Bob," and you'll start recognizing, okay.

246

Now listen carefully, all you have to do is make a decision.

247

I want you to make a decision right now, that we're going to deliver a seminar, that you're going to attend it.

248

You can do it wherever you are.

249

It's very inexpensive.

250

And I'm going to tell you, you're going to gain so much knowledge from this, it's absolutely phenomenal.

251

Now, the beautiful part about this.

252

It's about two and a half, three days.

253

If you can't stay there for that whole length of time, you stay for part of it you get it all recorded.

254

You can come back and you can cut in anywhere you want.

255

And you can do that for up to two weeks.

256

So you can spend a couple weeks really studying this.

257

Gather phenomenal information.

258

It just takes a decision.

259

So you mention here that all people that are successful he spends his whole life, Hill did.

260

Napoleon Hill studying successful people.

261

He said, "All successful people make decisions very fast and change them very slow if and when they change them at all." I want you to decide right now that you're going to do this.

262

You're going to do it.

263

You're going to build a new model.

264

Buckminster Fuller, the man that built the geodesic dome, he said something interesting.

265

He said, "You never change things by fighting existing reality.

266

To change things, you build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." Do you know what you'll learn in that two and a half days in the seminar we're streaming right into your home?

267

First of all, you can get your whole family involved.

268

Get your kids involved.

269

They'll understand it.

270

You know what you're going to find?

271

You're going to figure out how to build a new model.

272

How to live the life that you want.

273

We're God's highest form of creation.

274

Do you know that all the other little creatures on the planet are completely at home in their environment?

275

They blend in.

276

Think about it.

277

Little, birds, squirrels, deer, they blend into their environment.

278

You and I are the only creature on the planet that's totally disoriented in our environment, and that is because we've been given the ability to create our own environment.

279

We can sit down, we can take a pen and we can decree our own destiny.

280

Now, that's what you're going to learn in this seminar.

281

It's so inexpensive, and you can't say you haven't got time, because we're giving you two weeks to watch it.

282

You can cut in and out whenever you want.

283

And if you really wise, you're going to cut in and out often.

284

Now, you've probably been struggling with the results trying to change things.

285

Fuller said you don't do that.

286

You don't change your existing reality.

287

It's the way it is.

288

It just is that way.

289

But it doesn't have to stay.

290

You change something by building a new model.

291

that makes the existing model obsolete.

292

How? Attend the paradigm.

293

A resourceful environment, where people from all around the world collaborate.

294

You can be chatting with people on it from various parts of the world.

295

You can make connections with people.

296

You could end up making joint ventures with people, setting up MSIs, and it can all be done in the chat while you're in the seminar.

297

You're going to mastermind, you're going to explore opportunities while developing financial independence by establishing multiple sources of income.

298

We're going to show you how to do it.

299

But understand this: If you've been in it.

300

Don't say you've got it.

301

Because you haven't got it.

302

It's over and over and over.

303

If you are really wise, you will register for every streaming seminar we put on.

304

And just keep plugged in.

305

I have never stopped studying it and you know something?

306

My income just keeps going up and up and up.

307

I'll be 84 in a very short period of time, couple weeks, three, four weeks.

308

I have as much energy as a person 24 or 34.

309

Do you see, age hasn't got anything to do with it.

310

How old would you be if you forgot your age?

311

Intelligence has nothing to do with it.

312

There's brilliant people who are not making it happen.

313

What is it to do with?

314

It has to do with paradigms.

315

The Paradigm Shift Seminar.

316

The repetition of it, and bang, bang, bang you start to change your life.

317

It's worth it.

318

Make a decision right now!

319

Hit the button, get in.

320

And I'll look forward to seeing you in a live seminar in the very near future.

321

Thank you very much.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
