Description: In 1981, Hyrum W. Smith read Benjamin Franklin’s biography, and was struck by Franklin’s impressive self-improvement and time-management systems. Smith moved to create a system of motivational seminars based on these revolutionary ideas. The goal of these seminars was simple: help clients identify what they really want to accomplish, do the right things for the right reasons, and stay motivated until they complete their goals. Smith targeted these seminars to corporate groups and business executives, and focused on building relationships rather than direct marketing efforts. Word of mouth spread, and by 1983, Smith teamed up with Dick Winwood, Dennis Webb, and Lynn Webb to form the Franklin Institute. During this time, Smith accepted every opportunity to speak, logging more than four and a half years traveling on business between 1983 and 1990. He taught effective planning, even when he expected a group of 30 or more and only three or four showed up. Smith introduced the Franklin Day Planner in 1984 to help his seminar participants put values-based time management into practice. As time went on, the success of values-based planning helped the Franklin Institute grow into an international business. From mall-based stores in the US to UK to Australia to Hong Kong, Franklin Quest spread the art of planning worldwide.
