About Us

Our Founder

Paul J. Meyer is considered one of the most influential people in the personal achievement industry. He is perhaps the No.1-selling author of personal development materials in the world, having sold more than $2.5 billion worth of his materials which have been translated into 26 languages in more than 80 countries through Leadership Management International and The Success Motivation Institute.

With an entrepreneurial spirit dating to his youth he was always a game changer. Before age 25, he built the largest insurance agency in North America, recruiting 820 agents in 12 months; at a time when the competition averaged about 5 to 20 agents.

His belief and contention was that 'whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.' In 50 years of sharing this he has inspired millions of people to become winners in every facet of their lives.

What We Do

Achieving Behaviour Change

Total Leader Concept®:

Leader-directed, positive change is not about a simple shift in direction but through cultural transformation. The degree of change in subconscious organizational awareness is the single most determining factor in sustaining effective change.

The creation of dynamic organizational purpose is a continuous process stimulated by "effective" leaders at every level of the organization both with and without title. Organizational purpose fosters insights and behaviours that transform "good" into "great."

Leadership Management International

Developing the Total Person®:

Change is a process that involves planning, training, goal setting, and practical application. LMI's process embraces a person's Personal Plan of Action based on the “Total Person®” concept. We understand that each person in your company or organization is a complex, unique individual with many roles to fill in life as well as being an enthusiastic member of your team.

Increasing productivity:

Effective leaders are organized and focused, and they keep their commitments.

By helping companies evaluate their strengths and opportunities and maximize them, LMI bridges the gap between potential and performance. Companies working with LMI achieve measurable results with an almost immediate return on their investment.

Success Motivation International

Motivating people to their full potential:

With its global reach and pure fundamentals, the SMI focus encourages people to realise their full potential and achieve goals that they wouldn't have believed possible. The underlying philosophy of each SMI program is that “whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.”
