Why SMI Programs Work
We are all exposed to great ideas, but it's the ones we put into action that actually make a difference.

SMI programs are designed to ensure that you will understand, master and apply the concepts presented. By the end of the course, you can literally measure the results.

• Convenience
  Each program has been designed to allow busy people to absorb and use new ideas quickly. The lessons are recorded for easy listening and quick review. You can listen as you commute, as you dress or prepare for work, as you relax at home, or at a time you reserve at work. You can listen any time when your hands are busy but your mind is not.

• Multisensory Impact
  Each program is designed to help individuals absorb the ideas by using three basic senses: sight, sound, and touch. It makes use of the visual sense through studying and reading the printed text. By listening to the recordings, the sense of hearing is utilized. The sense of touch is brought into play as you respond to the various action steps suggested at the end of each lesson. The more senses involved in the learning experience, the greater our ability to assimilate and remember.

• Spaced Repetition
  Spaced repetition is the key to permanent internalization of ideas. Just as you didn't learn the ABCs the first time you heard them, it takes time and repetition for the mind to accept and embrace any new idea or concept. By utilizing the same techniques that advertisers use to establish brand name recognition, you will absorb the information from each lesson. Ideas that did not seem particularly applicable the first time you heard them may be the exact information you need to deal with a current situation.

• Plan of Action - Implementation
  An important part of the multisensory impact of the program is provided by Plan of Action materials for each lesson. These materials will help you apply the concepts of the lessons to your own situation and develop your own unique plan for the achievement of personal goals.

• Client Service
  Our trained professionals will serve as your own personal "success coach." By working closely with you through each step of the process, your program director helps you apply the concepts in specific and practical ways to your own situation. They are also an invaluable resource for helping you answer questions, discuss new ideas, encourage you to measure your results, etc.

The Need For SMI

The Personal Need

The greatest need in the world today is competent, caring people committed to positive values and goals. Countless people are searching for ways to better deal with today's pressures and challenges while enjoying fulfillment in all areas of their lives. Evidence is everywhere of individuals who want more from their lives:

1. The inability to deal positively with stress - This dire personal need takes its toll on all family members in incalculable ways while it also costs organizations billions of dollars annually in absenteeism, illness, high turnover, low productivity, and an alarming number of on-the-job accidents.

2. The desire for more from life than just money - A survey of over 1000 people expressed these goals.

• 77% want to spend more time with family and friends
• 74% want to improve intellectually, emotionally, or physically
• 73% want to save money
• 66% want more free time to spend any way they please
• 61% want to make more money
• 59% want to pursue personal hobbies and travel

• In the future, more and more jobs will require professional thinking and reasoning skills as opposed to labor skills. This is completely reverse from 50 years ago.
• Survey after survey has found that companies have great to very great difficulty filling professional positions. More than 67% have difficulty finding technical and other skilled workers.
• The trend is to cut back and get more accomplished with fewer people. This means companies must employ self-motivated, competent people to take up the slack left by a shrinking staff.
• Of the new jobs in the next decade, 85% will be generated by companies that employ fewer than 1000 people. Ninety percent of all companies fall into this small and mid-size range and do not have self-motivation programs. They depend on outside resources such as SMI to provide this.
• Competition is becoming fiercer by the day. To effectively compete, you must constantly improve performance through self-motivation.

The message is clear! People must accelerate their development to make the required changes in their careers - or face the possibility of being left behind. Whereas continuing education and development of potential, skills, and talents were once considered the answer, today self-motivation is becoming even more important. Individuals at every level are searching for programs that will provide a winning edge.

SMI's self-motivation programs are an answer to one of the marketplace's greatest needs - to increase the productivity and quality of personal performance around the world.
