This was a great book to be encouraged and be dared to dream. It shows how you can do anything you decide to pursue and if you put in the work you can reap the rewards. I read this for my mentorship and it was great to get these great uplifting business tidbits daily. Easy chapters to read quickly through.

An amazing read that stretched/grew my perspective on the power of stable decision-making + growth-minded community as indispensable parts of our self-image & calling.

"Success is the progressive realization of a lifetime dream; it will take your lifetime because it’s got to grow and you’ve got to grow."
Dexter Yager has made quite a life for himself. He started out poor but nothing was going to get in his way. Dexter was set on achieving his dream. Pursuit explores Dexter’s tips for achieving your dreams.
Some may find this book hard to read. Some may think that it’s a get rich quick book but it’s not. They might not like the approach Yager takes. They might not like his belief in God. They may not like Dexter’s views on how a relationship works. In my opinion there are many reasons to not like this book. If you are close-minded that is.
If you are open minded then you would find plenty of reasons to love this book. The main reason I loved this book so much is that you can tell that Dexter Yager is passionate about achieving dreams. He is passionate about achieving his personal dreams and passionate about helping others achieve their dreams. This book is filled with inspiring quotes, tales of famous people reaching the stars and examples from Yager’s personal life. You can be assured that what Dexter recommends has been tried and tested. I didn’t want to put this book down as I personally found it inspiring and motivating! This book has been able to help me focus more on my dreams and the actions I need to take in order to reach them. I hope that if you do decide to read this book that you find it as motivating and inspiring as I do.
My recommendation: Perfect for someone who has a dream and is willing to be open minded.

I've read quite a few self-help/motivational books recently but this one I did not like. I can appreciate these types of books and the message they're trying to send. This book was the same. It definitely had a message and I could appreciate that message. However, I did not like the way it was written, I felt like I was being preached to. Maybe my mentality has changed over the past few months so I'm finding these books harder to accept but this one was exceptionally difficult for me. A lot of "you need to do this" "you need to do that." "If you aren't doing this, you'll fail." I believe there are many ways to accomplish a dream. They may not all be the right way, each person has to discover their own way. We'll all suffer many falls along the way. Ideally, we'll learn from those falls. I want to be motivated, I don't want to hear "it's my way or the highway..."

I can't express how much I owe Dexter for what he's done all of those years ago. Without him, I don't know if the business would've succeeded. I don't like his fundamentalist Christian biases nor his one-sided Republican furbur, but I do know one thing -- this guy has success down! He really believes in himself and let's that belief power his endeavors. This guy makes several million a day and stays at the Platinum Suit of a the Grand Wailea hotel in Hawaii, which cost $250,000 for a weekend! He became financially free in only 18 months and he was a truck driver from Rome, N.Y.! No excuses. There's nothing in Rome N.Y. It's a no man's land and he still did it in 18 months!

It's great when you work the same home biz that the author worked for his success. Great tips for anyone looking to reach a goal and staying focused. Great reference book for when you stray from your true goal.
also, recommended for teens and young adults to stay focused with help of mentors.
