Dexter Yager has become a master of basic success principles. Like all who accomplish significant achievements in their lives, Dexter Yager understands that sacrifice and delayed gratification are such principles.

"If you want success, you’ve got to do what you don’t want to do on the faith that one day you’ll be able to do what you want to do as a result," says Dexter. "In fact, success is doing what you don’t want to do and liking it; otherwise, it will never become a habit. It’s what I call ‘success thinking.’"

"In this business I had to learn to run on faith," continues Dexter. "I said to myself, ‘I know the return I want is there if I just do this.’ Sometimes that meant going on the road month after month, meeting people and showing them how to get what they wanted so Birdie and I could get what we wanted.

In this business or in anything that requires commitment, some people will make it and some people won’t. However, in this business, the percent of those who actually listen and learn and succeed is higher than anything else. Your success is determined by your attitude. If you decide to make the temporary sacrifices now, you can enjoy the long-term results for years to come."
