My name is Frederic Premji and I work in the field of self improvement, doing things such as researching, writing, analyzing, all that relates to self help, in particular motivation. Let me tell you a little about how I got to this point.

I am from Montreal, Canada…born and raised. My first language is French, although, not many people can detect it. I learned English at about the age of 12 when I moved to Vancouver for a few years. Nowadays, I would say that I speak both languages pretty much equally well, although English would have to get a slight edge.

Over the years, I have studied many different areas, such as applied mathematics (math is my specialty), biochemistry, computer science, and marketing. I’ve attended Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, and McGill University in Montreal.

I’ve ran many different type of businesses over the years. Import/Export, home electronics distributor, e-commerce management, and of course, self improvement!

What led me to self improvement was actually sort of a fluke. I had become a trainer for new salespeople, and my job was the make sure they did their work properly. Time and time again, I would take my lunch with salespeople that had a rough morning and I would spend the hour motivating them. Then, I would see them on fire in the afternoon, like completely different people. That’s when I understood the power of motivation, and how I had the ability to logically make people aware of it simply by saying the right thing at the right moment with the right tone.

There was not a more rewarding feeling than seeing other people succeed in part by me helping them along the way. That’s when I knew that I wanted to do this on a larger scale…reach people all over the world and help them make a difference in their own lives. Out of all the different businesses I have ever been a part of, this is by far, the most enjoyable work I have experienced. I gave up high paying jobs and all other projects to focus entirely on this. I wasn’t doing it for the money, I did it because it made me happy, and in the end, money comes and goes, but happiness is of a greater importance.

So this is how I came about creating INeedMotivation.com in 2002. It’s expanded alot over the years, including different types of therapies, courses, and products. It will continue to grow into fun & crazy ways over time, as I have tons of ideas for new, unique, and exciting self improvement content to share with the world. This blog is just another dimension to my vision, and I hope that you enjoy reading through my posts and if it does make a difference in your life, then it’s made a difference in mine
