No other author and speaker of the 20th century had more impact than Earl Nightingale. His daily radio program, Our Changing World, aired on over 1,000 stations for more than 30 years and reached millions of people with clear, practical wisdom on achievement, attitude, and the nature of success.

The Secret Advantage: Core Fundamentals to Get Anything You Want is a landmark compilation program — the result of months of research and editing across hundreds of hours of Earl's recordings, organized around four timeless fundamentals that every leading company and every successful person relies on:

  • C — Competency: How to be the best-prepared person for any top position in any company
  • O — Opportunity: How entrepreneurs discover the next great business idea
  • R — Results: What you can expect when you master these skills
  • E — Effectiveness: How to put these principles into daily action

The program delivers 64 topic-driven episodes — each roughly 20 minutes — making it easy to focus on the messages most relevant to your life. With just 20 minutes a day, you'll discover the advantages that allow you to exceed any goal you choose.

The complete program includes 21 audio sessions, a DVD video documentary about Earl Nightingale and Lloyd Conant, and six additional Earl Nightingale unedited video programs — over 21 hours of life-changing ideas in all.

Also included is a bonus DVD with a documentary about Earl and his partner Lloyd Conant, founders of Nightingale-Conant, whose partnership and leadership delivered the skills and attitudes that helped build some of the best companies on the planet.
