Earl Nightingale

Earl Nightingale (March 12, 1921 – March 25, 1989) was, in my opinion, one of the great American motivational speakers and authors, known as the “Dean of Personal Development.”

“Lead the Field” is a series of six discs comprised of mp3 audio tracks for 12 separate sessions.

The following has been taken from the Nightingale-Conant web-site:

“Hundreds of thousands of people have profited from the wisdom and savvy of Lead the Field!

In fact, it has often been referred to as the “Program of Presidents” because so many top executives have incorporated Earl’s guidance and wisdom into their management philosophies.

When you listen to this landmark program you’ll be awestruck by the simplicity and timelessness of Earl’s words and ideas.

• Double your mental capability
• Recognize and easily overcome the biggest stumbling block to high achievement
• Dramatically improve your luck by changing one simple thing
• Make success unavoidable with an easy 3-minute-a-day exercise
• Assess your potential worth, and start increasing it now

Lead the Field has arguably changed more lives and created more millionaires than any other program Nightingale-Conant has produced.”

The “Lead the Field” audio series constitutes a wealth of Earl Nightingale’s wisdom and can be played over and over again. In addition, several of his videos are available on YouTube, including “The Strangest Secret” and “The Boss” , and are well worth watching as well.

Our mental attitude is

Without a doubt, the greatest asset we have is our Brain, which, in turn, hosts our MIND.

A great Universal Truth is that:

“Whatever the mInd of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve“

W. Clement Stone

A review of the great advances in the history of mankind confirms this truth. Many of mankind’s greatest achievements have been based on great conceptions (plans, goals) acted upon with believe in their eventual achievement. A great example, although seemingly trivial, was the invention of the incandescent light bulb. It is almost a cliche how Thomas Edison undertook approximately 2,000 experiments in which a light bulb based on a tungsten filament would not work, yet persisted (with believe), resulting in the incandescent light bulb. » Read the rest of the entry..

For the purposes of this post, I am referring to the casual use of “Opinion” (see definition below), an opinion rendered by a friend, associate or someone you might have just met, as opposed to a “Professional Opinion”. The primary distinction is that a “Casual Opinion” is one made and offered with little regard to facts, as is the case with so many opinions, even many offered by the media and in the public domain. » Read the rest of the entry..

Affirmations are simple statements of fact or desired intent (a goal or goals) repeated on a regular basis as a form of mental programming. The Coué Method was, arguably, the first example of the use of affirmations for improvement of health using Autosuggestion (alternatively considered a form of self hypnosis). As originally formulated, the Coué Method consisted of the phrase Every day, in every respect, I am getting better and better”. It has since been revised to Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better”.

In his book “Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion“, Emile Coué claims, from his own experience, that “Every illness, whatever it may be, can yield to autosuggestion … I do not say does always yield, but can yield, which is a different thing”. » Read the rest of the entry..

In reality, the Law of Attraction, as originally proposed by authors such as Charles Haanel and Napoleon Hill, consists of a PROCESS, a process which includes the critical and integral component of ACTION directed toward your goal. The key component of ACTION has been de-emphasized, and even omitted, by many proponents of the “Law of Attraction”, resutling in a “Something for Nothing” philosophy. Nowhere in the known Universe, as documented through science (and, most importantly to the “Law of Attraction”, physics itself), has the concept of “Something for Nothing” been documented. This is physically represented by the concept of the Perpetual Motion Machine. » Read the rest of the entry..

I posted an introduction to the sub-conscious mind in a previous article. In this follow-up article, I wish to briefly introduce some of the methods I have used and explored for the purposes of “Mental Programming”, or programming my sub-conscious mind. A comprehensive list of the resources I have tried, and applied, can be found on the Integrated Success Program blog. » Read the rest of the entry..

About twenty years ago or so, I attended a motivational seminar by Jim Rohn. I remember him as being filled with wisdom, coupled with a delivery loaded with single line Gems of Wisdom. His seminar has remained in my memory to this date.

I enjoyed his presentation so much, I subsequently purchased his packaged set entitled “The Art of Exceptional Living” from Nightingale-Conant. » Read the rest of the entry..
