About Paul J. Meyer and His Company
Founded by Paul J. Meyer in 1966
Always considered a person with an idea ahead of its time, Meyer became interested in the principles of personal growth, development, and success at an early age. He was particularly interested in the process of goal setting, as this process was in tune with his keen desire for personal achievement. By using goal-setting principles in his chosen career of professional sales, Meyer became a millionaire by the age of 27.
More importantly, however, Meyer held the firm belief that all people, regardless of their gender, personality, social standing, or level of education, could develop the necessary characteristics to achieve and live a lifetime of success. To this end, Meyer founded Success Motivation Institute, Inc. in 1960, a company dedicated to motivating people to their full potential. This company brought into reality Meyer’s long-standing dream of providing practical, effective materials to help people achieve their goals and enjoy greater success. Paul’s out-of-the-box thinking, and commitment to the process of goal setting served him well throughout his entire life and making him the most successful author-past or present-of motivational materials and services.
"Success is the progressive realization of pre-determined worthwhile personal goals." - Paul J. Meyer
