Our Founder

Paul J. Meyer was more than a leader, he was an achiever and a winner.
Paul J. Meyer is considered one of the most influential people in the history of the personal-achievement industry. He is perhaps the No.1-selling author of personal-development materials in the world. People have bought more than $2.5 billion worth of his materials translated into 26 languages in more than 80 countries through Leadership Management International and Success Motivation Institute.
With an entrepreneurial spirit dating to his youth, Paul was a game changer, he acquired and started a variety of businesses. Before he was 25, he built the largest insurance agency in North America, recruiting
820 agents in 12 months at a time when the average agency comprised about 5 to 20 agents. As a
sales agent himself during that time, he personally earned the equivalent of $8 million a year in
today’s dollars, most of which he gave to philanthropic pursuit. Since the formation of LMI/SMI almost
60 years ago he and the team dedicated their business work to motivating people and leaders to their
full potential.
His belief was his contention that whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass. And for more than five decades, by spreading
this message he has inspired millions of people around the world to become winners in every facet of their lives.
