His Story

---

The story that he shares with regard to his success, as published in his "Profiles of Success" annuals, begins with the statement, "The pin level of Crown Ambassador in the Networking business is one of extreme prestige and high honor. It creates great financial security, but it also characterizes tremendous love and concern" (Profiles of Success, 1993; pg. 10).

He tells audiences that he was making $95/week before taxes as a used car salesman when he began his Amway distributership in 1964. He and his wife Birdie made "direct" in 60 days and left his job. The Yagers have two homes, one in Florida and the other in North Carolina; a tennis court; a pool; and an office building.

The couple has seven grown children and several grandchildren. At least five of their children are involved in their Amway operation. Besides the normal operations of a distributer business, Yager also has developed a "tools business" which supplies other distributors with motivational books and tapes, and provides a system of "functions" - open meetings and conventions - which distributors are strongly encouraged to take part in to aid them in their success. Several of these books were authored by Yager himself, though the majority of the "Standing Order Books" are written by others.
