SUCCESS STORIES

Birdie & Dexter Yager
Founders Diamond
We joined Amway business on November 1, 1964. Before joining this business I was working as a car salesman and brewery representative. Birdie worked as a keypunch operator at the Air Force base. As successful leaders in this business, we enjoy a position of extreme prestige, but at the same time we both firmly believe that this position carries tremendous responsibility. We have decided to take our responsibility of realising the dreams of millions of people with all the seriousness that it deserves. We have achieved success through overcoming various obstacles that came our way and more importantly, learning from our mistakes.
I consider myself extremely blessed by my wonderful life partner and also my business partner in the form of Birdie. She supports our business by serving in an executive role. We have a big family of seven children named April, Lisa, Jeff, Leanne, Steven, and twins DexterJr.and Doyle. Twenty-three grandchildren also bless us. Doyle, Jeff and Steven are partners involved in the business; they have taken a great deal of leadership serving in business support, development and management. Over the years, we both have learned how to support each other and how to use every experience - the good and not so good to our shared advantage.
Birdie loves the mountains, especially when she goes with family members for skiing getaways, while I enjoy staying home, taking shorter trips in automobiles, boats and plane.
This business has given me the confidence to address political groups, youth conferences and networking audiences. In recent years, we have also taken up writing to help others to think positively, dream big and accomplish feats, which many would have thought impossible. Amway business has given numerous people all around the globe the unique opportunity to help other in achieving their aspirations and dreams. It has provided them with the weapon to achieve financial alternatives.
Through Amway business, we both have realised that success is the progressive realisation of a worthwhile dream. Many people wander through life with vague emotional goals. The key is to set a goal and then claim it as ones own. The next step should be to work towards the dream as if it is absolutely impossible to not be able to achieve it. Our message to all is that, "always remember that a dream unrealised is a dream imprisoned by your greatest enemy which is nothing but the fear of failure". We should remember that nobody in this world deserves the right to steal our dreams.
