We want to welcome you
to this special segment.
On stage with me is Arash Vossoughi,
Hi Mykie.
Jacquelyn McKenzie.
Monica DeMaren.
Hello.
And Bill Banta.
Hello.
I'm sure a lot of you
have had the privilege
of meeting them.
They're an incredible group of people.
They are all personal
students of Bob and Sandy,
who have been working with Bob and Sandy
and the Proctor Gallagher
Institute for years.
They are also personally trained
coaches by Bob and Sandy.
And they get to work with
our clients like you.
So, first I want to ask
them just a couple of
personal questions that I
think will really benefit
all of us, and then I'll
also ask them some questions
relating to what the Proctor
Gallagher Institute does
and how we can help you get
more and better in your lives,
so that you can enjoy more freedom.
Whether it's time or
money or whatever it is
you're looking for.
Sound good?
Yes.
Alright, Arash why don't
you get us started?
Can you tell us how you start your day?
Yeah sure, the first
thing I do every morning
is I do gratitude first
thing to start the day.
I'll always focus on
exactly what I'm grateful for
and then I always ask the question 'why.'
Because when I ask myself 'why,'
it gets me more emotionally involved
instead of just making gratitude
an intellectual exercise.
And after I do that, I go
to the gym and work out
and really start my day with
really feeling good about it
and then I come back and
I'll study for an hour
different things that I'm
working on from reading,
writing, listening to videos
or audios that I'm doing.
And then I get in my day and
start my strategy sessions
and coaching calls with clients.
I love it, thank you.
And Monica, you and your husband
just purchased a Ferrari.
That was a C-type goal
for you all at the time?
Yes definitely.
How did you make that jump?
Tell us how you went from
just setting the goal
and seeing it as something
that you wanted to having it?
Well, first it started with
a decision and a desire.
We had to learn how to
accept an idea first
of that it is actually possible
because for a long time
we didn't think it would be possible.
And we kept hold of that vision.
We realized there's two
things that we can control
our thoughts and our attitude about it.
So once we got in alignment
and really got connected
to our goal and seeing
the vision of us actually
being in that Ferrari
inspiring our boys as well
because they were very excited about it,
it just drove us to keep pursuing it.
And everyday we focused on it.
We put a lot of energy
and attention on to it
and the 'how' just started to
show up for us, and it's here.
And has that changed
the way that you approach
your goals today and the next things that
you're going after?
Yeah it was one of the
biggest lessons I've learned to,
one of the biggest accomplishments
I think for both of us
so now I apply what I've
done with that into my goals
that I have personally as well.
Bill can you tell us
what your most powerful
study habit is?
First thing when I
get up in the morning,
I think the most powerful
thing for me to be honest
with you is, I like to visualize,
I like to totally set
the intention for the day
and visualize, but I also
like to look at my goal,
and I actually get emotionally
involved in my goal
well before I even get out of bed.
So when I first wake up,
I literally will lay there
for about 10 minutes and
completely put myself in my goal,
so outside of that
repetition of study is huge.
I actually like to read and
listen at the same time too.
That's huge for me.
Sometimes I'll do an
audible and I'll fall along
and read it, because it almost
is really like the story
is being told, yet I'm following it,
but my routine first thing
and what's most powerful
for me is actually before
I even hit the carpet
in the morning is to literally put myself
in the position as if I'd
already achieved my goal,
and spend that time to
emotionally be there.
And it's been a huge impact for me
especially being around
mentors like Bob and Arash
and those people in this environment,
just the small things that
we do every single day
that equal the huge things.
Thanks Bill.
Now I love these people.
They're some of my favorite people
and I want you all to
get a chance to know them
just a little bit while we are up here,
but I don't wanna take up too much time.
I love your story Bill,
because you've known about
Bob and studied Bob forever.
Can you give us just 30-45
seconds about your story?
So I first met Bob
at the age of 23, 1993
at a conference.
My wife kind of shoved
me real quick his way
because I think she was tired of
the bill collector's calling.
It was a blessing.
I read 'You Were Born Rich,'
and I knew at that point I
had to be in that environment,
because I grew up in a
home where there was really
not a lot of success.
Did that for years,
had a lot of success,
but I met actually Arash
about five and half
maybe even six years ago.
And it changed everything for me
because I had studied and
had somewhat of an idea
but going from where I was
earning around $20,000 a year
when I first met Bob to
hitting six figures was huge
but it was actually
after I met really Arash
putting me back in touch
with Bob about six years ago,
that completely morphed my
life and actually allowed
me to be here even today.
Not sure what else you want me
to tell about my story but--
And before you, well I'll
just kind of, that was it,
I wanted everyone to know.
How long you'd known Bob
Proctor and a little bit
about where you came from.
But you actually came
to Matrixx as a client
before ever working with
Proctor Gallagher Institute.
So hold that thought because
I'll come back to it,
because I want you to talk
about your experience
as a client with us.
Jacquelyn, you were a
Proctor Gallagher consultant
before joining the Proctor
Gallagher Institute
as one of our personal coaches.
And you got a unique opportunity
when you're working with
your clients as a consultant as well as
our clients as a coach to see paradigms,
and see people working
through their paradigms
as they struggle to make
decisions and get past
the terror barrier.
I was hoping that you could
talk a little bit about
how you pushed through people's paradigms
or help people overcome their paradigms
when you're working with
them and coaching them.
Well I've been through the
terror barriers so many times
myself, and we had to
throw all in to face it
and to make a decision.
I think about the time when I first became a consultant, it was four years ago,
and I had a conversation
with actually Arash
and I wanted to create
a training for myself
and my boys and this opportunity to become a consultant.
Well the fear that I faced,
making that decision,
it was a lot.
And I've never done something like that before
my background is construction
and construction management, so I went
from that to coaching,
that's a huge terror
barrier just to see myself
how am I going to this and
so feel when I think back
to when I was working with clients,
you have to face that fear.
And at the end of the day
you have nothing to lose and everything to gain
it's our responsibility to go after it
with our hearts out there.
I love that.
Thank you so much.
Arash, tell us just a
snapshot of your story.
Sure, I had been studying Bob's material
and really other material
as well for three years,
went on YouTube.
I went to seminars, no results.
I met Bob nine years ago
and we had a very candid conversation.
I was really at the bottom.
I was a 150,000 in debt.
Just lost my job, getting
married three weeks later
and Bob told me, he said
what is it that you're
really wanting, and I
said I want to create a
life of freedom doing what I love.
He says well what do you love?
I said I like what you do
and then he said, well I
could show you how to do that.
He says what do you want to do?
I said I'm really not sure.
I like helping people
but I'm not really sure.
He said how serious are
you to make a change?
I said I'm very serious
'cos I'm sick and tired
of being sick and tired.
I told them everything I did and he didn't
want to hear about my story.
And he told me that.
He said, you don't know this.
You know about it.
And I'll never forget that moment
because I thought to myself
he is exactly right because
I was just forced to look
at my results.
And he said if you'll do
exactly what I tell you to do,
not half, not 3/4 everything will change.
And I said what do you recommend I do?
And he said I want you to let me coach you
and do and I got on his
13-month coaching program first.
And he said if you'll do
exactly what I tell you,
not half, not 3/4, he
says I can guarantee you
your life will change.
And for the first time
in my life I actually did
exactly what somebody told me,
because I would always start
and stop, start and stop.
So I never went all the way through
but at this point I had
to put the money down
that I said and the money
was great to put down
because I didn't have it.
So it really made me more committed
because I had so much skin the game
and if you think about Napoleon Hill
how he talks about burning your bridges
in Think and Grow Rich.
That's what I had to do.
Ever since then, that's
when everything changed.
During that year, I was fortunate enough to
eliminate the debt.
I had my best financial year ever
and every year since,
it's continued to grow.
Alright, so he is being modest.
I'm gonna fast forward to today.
His beautiful wife Veronica
is over there with you
that you are about to
marry 10 years ago right?
Right.
You're not in debt anymore.
No.
You are earning seven figures,
just bought your dream house?
Yes.
Healthier than I've ever
seen you, like great life.
But also, you get to hear
incredible success stories
and do something that you really love.
You just told me an amazing success story
standing over there.
Would you share it?
Sure, we had a break
about, I don't know, maybe
an hour, hour and half ago,
and I've been working with a client.
I don't know if he is in the room.
Varinder you here?
Yeah.
So Varinder came up
to me and he thanked me.
And he said you've changed my life.
And I said no you changed your life.
I've been working with
Varinder closely for
about a year and half.
He said I just bought my dream home
and I could've never done
this without you guys.
So the reason we do what
we do is to help people.
When I met Varinder,
he was very hesitant,
just like many people are.
We had many conversations
that we broke him through
the terror barrier and
got him through his fear
and now just in 18 months,
every time I see him,
it's like I'm looking
at a different person.
Thanks Arash.
Congratulations Varinder.
- Yeah let's give him
a round of applause.
That's really cool.
(audience applauding)
Bill I wanna come back to
you like I said I would
and like I mentioned, you
went to Matrixx as a client
before you joined us, but
also now that you're a part
of Proctor Gallagher Institute,
you go to every Matrixx
and you have a special
affinity for Matrixx.
You love Matrixx.
Can you tell us just a
little bit about Matrix
and why it is that you
think it's so powerful?
Sure, look there's probably
a whole bunch of you in here
that really will relate to this.
I had got to a spot in my life,
where I was just sick of it.
I was sick of going back
and forth, back and forth
and we would have success and no success.
And I was laying in bed in North Dakota
and I had a project out
there in North Dakota
in the oil field, and I was so frustrated.
All I wanted to do is just
pack up, go home and quit.
And I'd been around
this material for years
and so something told me reach
out to Bob one more time.
Well I ended up on a call with Arash.
He was three minutes late actually.
(audience laughing)
It was emotional for me.
It was this impact, I went in my office,
shut off the lights, do
not disturb on my door,
and I ended up having one
of the most incredible
calls in my life.
So from an impactful standpoint,
the first thing was if
somebody really literally
believed in me.
I think that's so critical
that you find a community
or an environment where
you can actually have
somebody that understands you,
that will help you.
He said look I'll help you
but you have to be coachable.
You have to do exactly
what I'm asking you to do.
Now I had heard that for years,
but I actually believed
that he believed in me.
And I remember at one
point, Bob said that to me.
He said, if you can't believe in you
you got to believe in
me, believing in you.
Well it made such a big impact.
Two years prior to that, I could've paid
for everybody in the
Matrix and now I'm scraping
to get there.
So at that environment, I
learned that I had the ability
to be free, to be me in that environment.
I didn't have to have
the restrictions of the
checking account while I was there.
I didn't have to have
and he kept telling me
focus on what you want,
focus on what you want.
Only because he could see the good.
He could see the power in
what I was able to accomplish
in my life and what I could accomplish
because he wouldn't allow me to see
the negative side of who
I really was believing
I was at that point.
I went through that Matrixx
that week and was liberated
and if you can imagine being
in an environment similar to
this, where you are
actually away from life
and you're able to focus
on what it is that you want
and literally spend the time to think.
And really consider from
a conscious position
how to gain control and
how to set proper goals
and how to really go deep
and how to really function
like a thinking person
that you can really set
one, three, and five year goals
and it just made such a huge difference.
It brought clarity and order to me.
So when you are in that environment,
Bob then helps you to take your goals
and your ideas and turn
them into a mechanism
that you can actually take to the market
that you can create
results and put the wheels
on the bus and get it moving.
And then he teaches you
really how to connect,
so that you're not doing it by yourself.
When I went through that
process that day or that week,
the lights came on in me.
Life came back and it wasn't
that I couldn't do it.
It's just that I quit seeing
myself as somebody that could
and ideas were born.
I often hear even Arash
say that Matrix stands for
Birthplace of an idea.
And so it has a major impact
because it's environmental.
And you're working with like minded people
just like you are here, but for six days
where when you come there
with a little bit of confusion
you'll leave there with
complete order, direction,
and the ability to take action.
Thank you Bill.
That was a very good description of Matrixx
and one of the things,
you've all been to Matrixx
several times, and I'm just
gonna throw this question out
whoever wants to answer it can,
because I don't know the best person.
Someone will like it.
One of the things that I
really love about Matrixx
is the networking and
how everyone else there
is getting enrolled into your vision
and helping you crystallize
it and helping you
figure out how to get it done.
So there is this team
work aspect of Matrixx
that is very like super networking.
Again I think the
environment is so huge.
It's so huge and we could
tell stories all day up here
about clients who came and met somebody,
who they have no idea even existed
and they might be from Europe
and they're from North America.
And literally within weeks have a business
that changes their whole life.
I have client here from Texas
that's having huge
growth and huge momentum,
because he was there and he understands
now the importance of
environment and culture
and changing his perception.
I can think of another
client who came there
with a makeup idea.
She had an idea for a
mineral based makeup idea
and literally because of the environment
and the connections and the
people she was surrounded
with and Bob walking
her through the process
39 years old as a
multimillionaire in just less
than two years because of that environment
and those connections.
One more question, this
one's gonna be for you
about Matrixx.
Who is Matrix right for?
Matrix is right for
anybody who really wants
to take it big and really has desire.
I always tell people
you're gonna come in there,
whether you have an idea or not,
it could be a goal, not just an idea.
And Bob works with you so
closely and Sandy works
with you and our team
works with you so closely
for six days and you leave
there with an executable plan.
I think for anybody who comes,
it's such an emotional experience.
You have to be there
to really experience it
because no one, and you
can ask Bob this weekend,
nobody can give it justice of
what the emotional impact is
and the tangible results.
I always tell people
that I'm coaching that
when you come to Matrixx,
you'll never be the same.
It's a game changer.
We do a lot of great things.
Matrixx is my favorite
thing that we do personally
because I have such a special bond with it
because of I see people who
are in the crowd right now
who have just dramatically
changed since then.
Thanks Arash.
Monica, you started out as a consultant.
Now can you tell us
just a little bit about
how you became a consultant?
Just a little bit about that
whole story of what it was like
and what it's like being a
Proctor Gallagher consultant.
Sure, I started out, I
used to be a hair stylist
for 18 years and I had a desire
to really help people out.
And I saw the opportunity to do that
on a global level and that
really got me excited.
So I fell in love with Bob's material.
I was studying it from afar
and I realized if I
had the right direction
and the right help and a team
of people that couple help me
I could take it.
I got involved and
everything shifted for me.
The one thing I love about
Thinking Into Results
the consultancy is you're
in business for yourself
but not by yourself.
You have a proven system that
when you teach it to your
clients or people around you,
they're going to get massive results
and their lives are gonna
change so significantly
and that to me was huge
because I needed a system put
in place because I didn't
know where to start off.
I knew I wanted to help people.
I just didn't know how to take it.
So I realized that the consultant program
was the specialized knowledge
that I needed to implement
and take my goal and my
dream and make it reality.
Our consultant division is
growing like crazy right now.
It's incredibly successful.
I think we have over 30
consultants in the room,
so if you're a Proctor
Gallagher consultant in the room
right now, will you just
do me a favor and stand up?
That's quite a few of you.
That's amazing.
(audience applauding)
Very cool.
Jacquelyn, I would love
to hear you talk about
the consultant program as well
just because of how you started out
and I know that you've
worked with so many of
our consultants and then actively worked
as a consultant as well.
Talk about what it's like
to become a consultant,
who it's a good fit for everything
about being a consultant.
Well I don't know
who doesn't like waking up with the idea
of helping people improve
the quality of their lives.
For me that was something
that is by far amazing.
I wanted to really create
that life of freedom
for my family and but
I also wanted to do it
but with something that I love to do
and working as a consultant, I remember,
like it was only four years ago.
And it's not that long,
but I feel like it was forever ago
because the growth that just takes place
not only when you're
watching your clients,
but for you personally, your
growth is like warp speed.
I feel like I have
accomplished probably more
in the last four years than I ever have.
Every aspect of my life has improved.
I've been seeing some of my
clients here in this event
and watching them whether
they're improving their business
or their personal life,
like these are real people
who are improving some
aspect of their life
whether they want to
multiply their income,
they want to start a business,
maybe it's their health.
Maybe they want to find
out what their purpose
and their passion is.
Thinking Into Results
program is so universal.
You can work with companies, businesses,
you can work with individuals.
You can work with groups.
How many people in the room
are watching Bob and Sandy
today and thinking gosh
I want to get up there
and do that one day.
I bet you there's a ton of people.
I was like that too.
If you'd have knew me four years ago,
I was probably the most shyest,
quiet introverted person
if you asked any of my family.
They would've not ever
pictured me doing this.
But I use these principles
to help kind of draw
all of that out and if you
are looking to do something
that you truly wanna wake
up happy and feel fulfilled
I can't think of another
business that isn't better
than this one.
You have an amazing team supporting you,
helping you build this from the ground up.
The PGI, they're a business
that really believes
in making an impact in the world
and you are an extension of them.
Thank you, Jacquelyn.
and I love how you're both
talking about the feel goodness
of it and how you can make an impact
but I also want you to
touch on how it can be
a really lucrative business as well
and the logistics of how, you can be
extremely successful consultant.
Yeah well I was a
project manager before this
and I worked probably some weeks 80 hours
and if there's anybody
who's worked in construction
it was a very high stressed industry
and the most amount of
money I'd ever earned was
$45,000 dollars.
And I remember Bob me coming
into a seminar like this
and saying he can show anyone
how to take their annual
income and turn it into
their monthly income.
I remember telling Bob, I
said okay that's what I want.
I want to take what I used
to make as a project manager
and turn it into my monthly income
and the first question
he asked me was like
are you coachable?
I said yes just tell me what to do.
And within a year I was able to do that.
My income has multiplied so much.
I travel.
It's so good to be able
to create that really
that time and money freedom.
I know that was something
that I personally want
but I also know there's
probably a ton of people
in this room who are
looking for the same thing.
Thanks Jacquelyn.
Arashg, can you talk about,
I'm going switch gears now and
talk about the Inner Circle.
Talk about the inner
circle and how valuable
having an inner circle or being
involved in inner circle is.
I was fortunate to be a
part of Bob's Inner Circle
basically for the past
nine, almost 10 years.
We were talking one day and
he would always talk to me
about how he was a part
of Earl Nightingale's
Inner Circle.
He said I just wanted to study
what everyone was studying.
I wanted to strategize ideas with her.
I told Bob we were on a phone call,
and I said why don't we do one?
And help people because
there's all these people
who want to work closely
with you one-on-one
and you don't have that time.
And he said, you think
it would be valuable?
I said for me some of my
most impactful coaching
with Bob has been these
five minute conversations
or learning how to study
this or think this way
or how to put an idea into form,
there are so many that I can tell you.
And the Inner Circle our
clients who are in it
it's for serious people who
want to really work closely
with Bob, because what Bob
teaches in the inner circle is
things that you wont find on YouTube,
you won't find it at any
of the seminars we do.
He really digs deep and spends
so much time on each client
on really getting them
to understand it from
literally line by line
of what he is studying.
Then how to really put
your ideas into form.
I remember we were on one
Inner Circle years ago.
Bob told me, he said, and
I never heard it this way,
and he said the biggest
thing that holds people back
is they let their ideas stay still born..
And he says any time you delay a decision,
he says whether it's a minute,
a day, a week or month,
or a year, you're telling
the universe to keep
you stuck in reverse.
And just today when he was
saying if you're not willing
to put in the work, you
don't deserve to win.
Like being in his Inner Circle,
he really gets people really
out of their comfort zone
and really takes them by
their hand and shows them
what to do and how to do
it to really create massive
shifts and big ideas.
You and your team are
studying the Inner Circle calls
on a weekly basis along
with the Inner Circle.
There's just so much depth there.
Does anybody else wanna
comment on the depth
that Bob goes into on those calls?
Again it's my favorite.
He goes in such depths and
really breaks down and dissects
the certain things that he is studying,
so it feels like you're
studying alongside with him.
But what you understand by doing that is
to get your goals, there's
different ways you can expedite
what you're doing.
So he teaches you strategy and execution
through the teachings.
There's different ways you can shift
what you are doing significantly
and he teaches you the how.
How to do it.
Thank you, Monica.
Last question, can you talk about the
Bob Proctor Coaching Program?
Sure, like I mentioned
when you were asking me
that's how I started.
And the coaching program,
Bob told me it took him
nine years to put it together.
And I asked him, I said
why did it take so long?
He said I wanted to make
sure anybody who did it
would create massive results.
And the way the coaching works is
kind of like what I was
saying about Inner Circle.
This is just who Bob is
where he literally just
takes you by the hand
and shows you exactly what
to do and how to do it.
And every week in the coaching
leads into the next week,
so there's a full system
because as you guys have probably heard
and you will hear this week
and Bob will mention that
success is not a secret,
it's a system, where he
takes you an hour a week
on a webinar and shows you step by step
on what to do and how to do it.
There's question and answers with him.
You have accountability email coaching
and I always tell people
the accountability
is such a big piece in life.
Because when we don't have
accountability we drift.
That was me when I was talking
about starting and stopping.
So I always tell clients I coach,
I say the coaching is
one of the best things.
I don't care what level
you are in your life,
whether you're a beginner,
intermediate or advanced
in understanding this
because working with Bob
and getting him to really
shift your paradigms
an hour a week for a year
is an absolute game changer
in your life.
Thanks Arash and it's the
repetition of the idea
that makes the difference.
Right.
Alright I wanna thank you all for saying
I know that everyone
probably has some questions
that we didn't cover.
There is a whole group
of incredible individuals
just like these four
that we have on stage.
We should have room for everyone.
All of our personal coaches
at Proctor Gallagher Institute
are along these doors over here.
And they would be happy
to answer your questions.
They're all extremely nice.
They are all students of Bob and Sandy's.
They're all personally
trained by Bob and Sandy.
They can answer your questions
and would be happy to do so.
Do you all have any final
thoughts before we go?
I do.
I was sitting in a room
like this over a decade ago.
That's when everything changed for me.
I remember Bob was talking about,
there's going to be 3% of
you are going to create
a life of freedom.
He said make a decision to be one of the,
be a part of that 3%.
I encourage anyone sitting
out there right now
make that decision for yourself.
Don't make this just a weekend
where it was a lot of fun.
You got a lot of great information.
Make this the weekend like
I did over 10 years ago
that I can look back on
that everything in my life changed.
And I highly encourage
you really talk with us,
talk to Bob, talk to Sandy,
because I don't know anybody
if you study the most
successful people in the world,
I don't care who it is,
they all have one thing in common.
They all have had mentorship in their life
and I encourage you guys
set yourself up to win.
I love that.
Alright, can we give our
panel a big round of applause?
