Attitude is everything
Paul J. Meyer 1928 – 2009
LMI’s founder Paul J. Meyer was well known for his unquenchably-positive attitude. His unswerving conviction was that every situation could be improved with dedicated, consistent action towards achieving worthwhile goals, supported by self-belief and positive-expectancy. Like so many others, Meyer was inspired by Victor Frankl (Psycotherapist & Holocaust survivor) and often used this famous line in his personal development programmes:
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way”
Paul J. Meyer embodied this sentiment. His life-long mission was ‘motivating people to their full potential®’ and he pursued this with passion right to the end of life. As Ray King (LMI UK MD, 1997-2019) recounts,
“I met Paul on many occasions and was always impressed by his capacity to listen and show interest in everyone he met. After just a few hours in his company, you were aware how sincere was his ambition to help everyone be more successful in their business and family life.”
LMI continues today in line with Paul’s original principles and at the heart of every LMI programme is the Plan of Action for goals achievement, refined through decades of research and testing, to help people develop the attitudes and behaviours that enable them to become more successful in all aspects of their lives.
