Bio
My name is Jacob Lethbridge. I am a speaker, blogger, and entrepreneur. I am building an international organization dedicated to improving the lives of others.
Simon Sinek said it best, "Start with Why." He couldn't have said it better. After studying myself and thinking about why I really wanted to get into this profession, I discovered that everything I do, I do because I believe in helping people live the life of their dreams, I believe in helping them achieve their success.
I didn't always have this attitude, though. I want to take you briefly through my journey.
After graduating from university, I was feeling stuck. After relentlessly sending out resume after resume with no luck for over a year I finally got a low-paying job, I wasn’t anticipating any sort of success coming my way. As time went on I found myself bouncing from part-time job to part-time job, unable to find a real career. At one point, I landed a job which was an hour to an hour and a half commute both ways to a job I was really excited for, with a boss which seemed excited to have me on board. I was starting to hate the commute and loathe the job. I was doing menial work moving product and organizing expired food. While I showed up every day grateful for the opportunity to work, I ended up getting fired my third day on the job.
This was a challenging time. I was out of a job, again, and being fully supported by my wife. Then something good happened.
I ended up working at a photography company and was starting to get happier. However, I owed more money than I was making, which was practically nothing – and the idea of getting out of debt or creating real success never even entered my mind. I was working part-time hours and knew I was going to be laid off by the end of November.
Soon to be out of a job once again, things were going from bad to worse. Then something amazing happened.
After talking to my good friend Bettee Giles, she encouraged me to watch The Secret and that encouraged me to look at the results I was creating and challenged me to turn my life around… that was where I was introduced to Bob Proctor. I was captivated by the words Bob spoke and truly believed that studying his material could change my life. Bob suggested I buy the book Think and Grow Rich. I bought the book and read it day and night.
Think and Grow Rich not only rekindled my love of reading but was also a major turning point in my life. From that moment on, I decided that I would devote my life to helping people reach their fullest potential. I know that if I could help people the way Bob Proctor helped me; everyone could live the happier more successful life they deserve.
For the past 4 years, I have been studying the work of great inspirational leaders, Bob Proctor being the biggest influence on my life. He taught me that I can achieve anything I desire and that the way I think has a lot to do with what I create; I have followed his advice and turned my life completely around. From that point on I have studied the material that Bob suggests as well as the material of Earl Nightingale and Napoleon Hill every day.
I want to share with you the inspiration I received from Bob Proctor to help you achieve your fullest potential!
