Earl Nightingale Quick Facts

Earl Nightingale was one of the world’s foremost experts on success and what makes people successful. A Depression-era child, Earl had a natural curiosity about the world and frequently visited the public library. From the time he was a young boy, Earl wondered how a person could reach his/her goals and make a major contribution to others.

Earl’s early career began when, as a member of the Marine Corps, he volunteered to work as an announcer at a local radio station. He began his network radio career years later when he and his wife moved to Chicago. Eventually, Earl partnered with Lloyd Conant to create an “electronic publishing” company, Nightingale-Conant, which eventually grew to become a multi-million-dollar giant in the Self Improvement field.

When Earl bought his own insurance company, he spent a good number of hours motivating its sales force to greater accomplishments. His sales manager begged him to put his inspirational words on record. The recording, called The Strangest Secret, was the first spoken-word message to win a Gold Record by selling over a million copies. In The Strangest Secret, Earl found a way to leave a lasting legacy for others.

Other Programs & Highlights

As host of his own daily commentary program on WGN in Chicago, Earl arranged a deal that gave him a commission on his own advertising sales. By 1957, he was so successful that he decided to retire at the age of 35. Earl Nightingale and Lloyd Conant developed a syndicated, 5-minute daily radio program, Our Changing World, which became the longest-running, most widely syndicated show in radio. Earl was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1985.

• The key that unlocks energy is “Desire.” It’s also the key to a long and interesting life. If we expect to create any drive, any real force within ourselves, we have to get excited.
