Paul J. Meyer

I am proud to say that Paul was a personal friend and mentor. I first had the privilege of meeting Paul in the summer of 1983 while visiting his office in Waco, Texas. I purchased a management training franchise from him and subsequently built a million dollar business using the methods he taught.

In 1989 I was invited to join his headquarters staff as a Systems Manager and became a consultant to the consultants that worked in the field.

Paul was a collector of antique cars, mostly Fords from the 1930's. He also loved to fly his own airplane. He worked out every day for as long as his health allowed, riding a stationary bike several miles.

Paul wrote many books, training programs, and magazine articles that have been published in over 26 languages and distributed world-wide.

With all the millions he earned in his lifetime, he gave away more than most people ever earn! He told me once that he would like to give it all away as long as where he put it would have a positive impact on the lives of others. What a guy!

Born on May 21, 1928, Paul passed away after a long battle with cancer on October 26, 2009. He shall be missed by milllions around the world. Rest in peace, my friend...
