This is a brand new book by renowned author Bob Proctor, published in 2008. I actually had to add it to the catalog of Facebook's Visual Bookshelf program.

I found this book enjoyable, down to earth, full of common sense and positive authoritative guidance and direction. It is like speaking to Bob Proctor over coffee in his home.

The book deals with a primary premise that "Money is not the goal." It is the result of many factors and the most important is our internal belief, thinking, and attitude toward money, prosperity, and wealth.

A very friendly well designed and presented book including 10 well written chapters in this 166 page paperback. The quality of this book's contents and authority of the author can be summed up in a quote from Jack Canfield. "If you're smart, you will read this book. Since I started applying Bob Proctor's principles and strategies in my life, my net worth has multiplied 40 times! Now this master teacher has put his best wisdom and insights into this great book."

Need I say more, other than I wholly recommend this book to everyone interested in abundance, prosperity, success, wealth building, personal development and growth.

I read the book within 2 days. Could hardly put it down. Very much to the point. No sugar coating. I love when Bob Proctor says : "If you are not giving your dream the time it needs to fit into your life, then, the dream will never become your life". Stunning !

While other "think rich" books practically promise that thinking "happy" thoughts about money will cause bundles of cash to fall from the sky and land on your head, Bob Proctor offers realistic strategies to overcome poor thinking patterns and behaviors in favor of more positive and profitable ones. He uses a common sense approach to everything from believing in your own potential, to goal setting to eliminating excuses.

In such an unstable job market, his emphasis on having multiple streams of income is one survival strategy everyone should adopt. My only criticism is the way he talks about multiple streams of income from media products which suggests that creating a web site or blog and writing a book guarantees the money will just come flowing in. As a blogger and the author of The Cheap Diva's Guide to Frugal and Fabulous Living: How to Shop Smart, Look Your Best, Decorate with Style and Have Fun for Less Money! I know that income from a blog or a book is not automatic, it requires dedication to marketing just like any other product or service.

He explains why the right mental attitude is important to success, but Proctor does not sugarcoat the fact that in order to succeed you need to work for it. The title It's Not About the Money comes from his belief that in order to profit you need to be passionate about what you do and offer a product or service that benefits others.

Sorry, I like Bob Proctor, but this book basically covers a lot of the same ground in his other book "You Were Born Rich", which I think is better.

Have you ever read a book, and connected with the author in a unique manner based on his perspectives and success strategies. Well if you are a leadership thinker or an individual that lives his life in an unconventional manner, compared to the rest of the world, then buy the book and read it carefully, and then go back and review your notes. You will not be disappointed.

This book is just the kick in the pants I needed to move my life in the right direction. I already see the money rolling in and Bob's is right it is not about the money. Thank You Bob for such a great Book. I got my wife to read it and already she is started to do the things she has been trying to start for years. I got the book on CD and I going to play it again and again as I drive around town.

Yes, there are many references to past observations Bob Proctor has made in previous books but this is the latest, greatest thoughts on one of the truly helpful "self-help" gurus. I've read and heard most of the contributions from Bob and because I've heard it before, that doesn't take away from the fact that hearing it again is extremely useful. So many great references to being grateful and I believe that is the really difference in his teachings. Bob is about results and I, for one, would not be as successful without his guidance and thoughts. In summary, read this book often, let it soak it, think!, and your life will improve.. I guarantee it.

I have to be honest and say I read this book twice and listened to the audio program twice. Each time I was challenged with new ideas and thoughts. Bob is telling the truth; it is not about the money. If money is your focus you will end up being unhappy. He stresses throughout the book that our attitude dictates a lot of what happens in our lives. I mention these points in my own books because too many people are striving for money instead of striving for happiness. True wealth comes from relationships and good health. Money and things are great if they ADD to your life but lousy if they are your focus because people will suffer if you concentrate on things and not your loved ones.

I recommend that you take a look at this book or listen to the audio program. It will challenge you and most likely change your life.

Bob Proctor is the last of the great teachers of The New Thought Movement. Buy this book today and start reading it immediately.

After having Bob Proctor on my weekly Radio show "Millionaire Training Cirlce"
we saw many of our leaders find immense value in the wisdom of "Its Not About the Money"
You must add it to your library and get the spirit of your journey in your bones.
Anything we can do to increase our awareness of our thoughts, surroundings, money, friends etc.
we should read or do. Bob has laid it our masterfully!!
