Bob Proctor Is a LEGEND. An author, lecturer, counselor, business consultant, entrepreneur, and teacher preaching the gospel of positive thinking, self-motivation and maximizing human potential. In that endeavor, he follows in the footsteps of such motivational giants as Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale and Wallace D. Wattles.
But Proctor carries the message of these great teachers a step higher and explains in terms understood by tots and tycoons alike how a person goes about recognizing the potential and how to apply this effort in setting and achieving life goals. As an attendee at one of Proctor’s seminars put it: “Bob Proctor… brings all the great wisdom of Napoleon Hill, Wallace Wattles and others into a coherent whole that anyone can take home and apply…”
INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED
His extraordinary teaching ability has won Proctor acclaim around the globe and has carried the Canadian-born motivator to the far reaches of the earth. He is as well known in Australia and Malaysia as he is in Alberta and Mississippi.
Helping employees grow, improve and adapt to change, Proctor’s wide ranging work with business and industries around the world extends far beyond the pep rally syndrome.Instead, it encompasses working with business entities to develop strategies that will assist employees at all levels to grow and improve and adapt to the ever-changing nature of all commercial enterprises in today’s business atmosphere.

Ask Men.com gives a brief overview on Mark Cuban
He was born on July 31, 1958, in the working-class city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and his penchant for business was evident right from the start. As a 12-year-old goofy kid with thick glasses, he sold garbage bags door-to-door. For what it’s worth, he did pretty well and learned his first valuable lessons about business.
An excellent student, he decided to go to Indiana University because it was the cheapest of America’s Top 10 business schools. He put himself through school by giving disco dancing lessons and he even started a chain letter that helped cover one whole semester. At IU, he continued to achieve high grades, but was reprimanded by the dean after taking graduate-level classes as a freshman. Cuban was allowed to keep the credits he took from these classes but was banned from the program. As a result, he was dissuaded from getting his MBA after receiving a bachelor’s degree.

Like many of America’s great entrepreneurs, Kroc was not a creator, convenience food already existed in many forms, from Howard Johnson’s to White Castle, but he had the cunning ability to grasp a concept with all its complexities and implement it in the best possible way.
By the time brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald opened their prototype grill in San Bernardino, Calif., in 1948, Southern California was hopping with drive-ins.
It was Kroc, a high school dropout who once played piano in bordellos and speakeasies, who figured out how to turn burgers and fries into a mass-market empire. As postwar America moved to the suburbs, he foresaw the emergence of the car culture. He insisted on standardization and spic-and-span stores, which meant a lot to an increasingly mobile population in search of something trustworthy wherever they went. He fought to make McDonald’s affordable, the price of its basic burger didn’t rise till 1967, allowing even low-wage earners a chance to take the family out for dinner.

John Harold Johnson (19 January 1918 – 8 August 2005) was an American businessman and publisher. He was the founder of the Johnson Publishing Company, and in 1982, the first African-American to appear on the Forbes 400.
The Early Idea
In High School, Johnson was a high achiever, because of this Johnson was invited to speak at dinner held by the Urban League. When the president of the Supreme Life Insurance Company, Harry Pace, heard Johnson’s speech, he was so impressed with the young man that he offered Johnson a job so that he would be able to use the scholarship.
Johnson began as an office boy at Supreme Life and within two years had become Pace’s assistant. His duties included preparing a monthly digest of newspaper articles. Johnson began to wonder if other people in the community might not enjoy the same type of service. He conceived of a publication patterned after Reader’s Digest. His work at Supreme also gave him the opportunity to see the day-to-day operations of an African American-owned business and fostered his dream of starting a business of his own.
Once the idea of Negro Digest occurred to him, it began to seem like a “black gold mine”, Johnson stated in his autobiography Succeeding against the Odds. Johnson remained enthusiastic even though he was discouraged on all sides from doing so. Only his mother, a woman with biblical faith and deep religious convictions, as well as a powerful belief in her son, supported his vision and allowed him to use her furniture as collateral for a $500 loan. He used this loan to publish the first edition of Negro Digest in 1942.
