And it all started with...
It all began with two unique men - Earl Nightingale and Lloyd Conant.
Earl Nightingale’s early life began simply. As a boy, Earl was always asking questions, always in his local public library, trying to understand how life works.
After the war Earl became obsessed with why everyone appeared to be poor and confused. He wondered why one person was able to create great wealth and happiness, while another with a similar background stayed ignorant and broke. The answer to these questions became Earl’s life work.
Earl worked in radio in Phoenix and Chicago. He also ran his own insurance agency.
One day, he was about to take a trip and wanted to leave a message for his sales force. He arose in the middle of the night inspired to write a motivating message that he recorded the next morning. That message became one of the most important and famous personal development recordings ever made.
The Strangest Secret
It was called 'The Strangest Secret'. It sold over a million copies and actually received the only gold record for the spoken word. Its message was simple, yet powerful. You become what you think about - and it became the turning point for the Nightingale Conant Corporation. Thousands of people have attributed this personal development recording with changing their lives and helping them to make their fortunes.
One of the people thus inspired was Lloyd Conant, the owner of a Chicago printing company. Lloyd contacted Earl, and the two immediately clicked. In 1960, they formed the Nightingale Conant Corporation.
Lloyd Conant
Lloyd Conant was a special person that everyone respected. He deeply cared for people and, in turn, received the same loyalty and affection in return.
From the beginning, Lloyd and Earl were a great match. Earl, the creative force, conceptualized, wrote, and delivered most of the early programs. Lloyd, the man behind the scenes, kept the company running through all the problems and conditions, the great administrator and entrepreneur, who worked the endless hours each day to make Nightingale Conant what it is today.
Lead The Field
In 1960, Earl wrote their first full-sized program, "Lead the Field". It also became a bestseller, touching the lives of over a million people. It is one of the personal development classics.Nightingale Conant has come a long way. It improved so many lives, helped so many careers and so many people. There’s really no measuring what how it has affected millions of people throughout the world.
It all started with two men from humble beginnings. Their spirits and standards will never change despite new technologies and new messages. For this company’s mission is clear: to help the people become the best that they can be.
Nightingale-Conant is a special place. They’re doing something exciting and important and will remain in the forefront, committed to helping people everywhere.
