um tell the people a little bit about you absolutely justin waller have youtube j waller
00:00:05.840
also have quite a bit of real estate in america and construction so as everyone knows i help guys
00:00:13.360
online in every area of life you've seen my channel you probably know and then we do our
00:00:19.120
best to help guys develop themselves and get in a position where they can come in the war room or
00:00:22.720
join the real world etc so you're a bit different in the online space because you had a whole like you
00:00:32.560
ran a whole construction company before you even got on youtube right yeah i had a whole life and
00:00:38.800
still do have a whole life oh you still do that oh yeah i have 200 employees oh i thought i thought
00:00:44.560
you sold it or something no no no no we uh we just had our best first quarter ever and last year we
00:00:51.360
broke all our revenue goals uh it's the company is in a place now where i have adult i'm the youngest
00:00:57.040
person in my office so i have legitimately professional adults that run the place they
00:01:02.800
get bonus quite well to run the company and so the business is 13 years old and so for that reason
00:01:10.400
you know there's a lot of systems in place there is a lot of deep-rooted relationships with vendors
00:01:15.360
and customers and clients and and a lot of the guys in the field have been with me for a long time so
00:01:21.360
yeah it runs it runs like a top now i do get daily reports every day and if something i don't like
00:01:25.920
i'll drill into that and i'll make phone calls but generally it's just to one person in whatever
00:01:31.040
business whether it's in the real estate business or the construction business or even this online
00:01:34.960
business um i i call one person uh i think there was a study that said a manager can only manage about
00:01:42.080
five to six people max and so now i have somebody in the construction company that manages everyone and i
00:01:50.320
talk to that person and if i really have a life or death conversation which has not happened this
00:01:54.480
year and we're in what april or may i can't remember uh april um and so that's how that happens i just
00:02:04.080
get a report from each business each day and if i see something i'll pick up the phone and call but
00:02:07.360
generally it runs quite well and then we do quarterlies i want to i want to do that yeah yeah you just
00:02:13.920
call one person yeah no i get it i get it but but you know i know what you mean though like about
00:02:20.000
building the systems because we just um did that with like recruiting so i it's like so nice when
00:02:25.680
they start to be able to do it on their own and you don't have to interfere right so every like so
00:02:30.080
every person in your organizational board i don't know if you have one but every person in our
00:02:34.640
organizational board has five roles and responsibilities and there's a statistical metric attached to it so i get
00:02:40.960
those metrics every day for the office positions and it trickles down from the field and i know
00:02:47.360
every job we're on who what foreman is running that job if it's on track off track the whole thing
00:02:53.600
from my office staff to our managers i know how much money we made today i know every son of a
00:02:58.080
bitch that spent a penny like that's all there i know what ar is it's just this big report i just
00:03:04.080
tell siri to read it and just i keep driving and just listen to it and if i hear something i don't
00:03:08.640
like then pick up the phone or text yeah i'm not i gotta learn how to do that yeah i'll show it to
00:03:15.280
you when we get done so um you're also it's also really interesting because you said you came from
00:03:20.800
louisiana yeah i was born in louisiana and raised so and now you're successful you have a social media
00:03:28.400
following you're in great shape um you live this crazy life how does how does one get there like
00:03:35.200
where where did this start yeah it's funny you say that i made a post last night in the war room
00:03:40.960
actually um i'd made a post that i paid my dad's house off and somebody said to me i'm really upset
00:03:48.240
with myself i i had this goal to do that and i had done it yet and he was talking about like how far
00:03:53.520
it should be and the reason i bring it up is because what i said to him is a lot of times you
00:03:58.880
have internal growth so for me i was taking care of my fitness long before i was on the internet
00:04:05.760
i was taking care of my business i was trying to have the best style i i was conscious of you know in
00:04:11.520
louisiana and i was reading books and i was doing all these things so it was all this internal growth
00:04:17.600
so when the time came where i went to go online i feel like it was substantially easier for people
00:04:26.320
to accept me in the online space being that as i had done all these things like in the real world
00:04:32.640
particularly around business because a lot of people that i do interviews with and spend time with
00:04:38.800
they make their money from the internet and i think when you when you look at particularly the guys
00:04:44.880
they're like you do what for a living that's how you got here okay i respect that i'll collab with
00:04:49.680
you and so in a lot of ways i think i grew like so if myron and walt respected me in some way they
00:04:56.560
let me come on the show or had me on the show rollo tate sterling all those people i just think
00:05:02.640
there's a certain level of respect i got from the internal growth i had done over a decade and they're
00:05:08.640
like oh no that makes sense you can come on you'll do well you know and i have them to think for
00:05:13.520
it in a lot of ways and you coming on your show i mean it's a big channel it's a million that's a
00:05:17.520
million yeah but it wasn't when you came on i get that but the point i'm making is is for me
00:05:25.360
how do i go from louisiana to london right with you right i think that any young man if he wants to
00:05:34.720
exit a small town if he works on his stuff in his small town and develops himself if he were to
00:05:40.400
go out and then try to take that internal growth and outwardly grow that that's a possibility whether
00:05:46.800
you live in louisiana or ohio or indiana or what have you so and in fact i think it's probably a
00:05:53.200
pretty good strategy because if you live in a small town and you just up and move to miami
00:05:59.200
it's going to be i think it's a much better decision to truly grow internally and truly get
00:06:04.800
confident where it's a little bit boring because you're gonna need a lot of money to come to london a
00:06:09.360
a lot of money to go to dubai a lot of money to go to miami i just think it's a better place to be
00:06:15.760
and the funny thing is before i went online i don't think i was as proud but what i've come to
00:06:22.880
learn is the further i get away from home the problem the more proud i am of where i come from
00:06:27.360
you know and i don't ever want to like leave that behind because i think it's the part that people
00:06:31.600
find to be genuine about a person like where they're from you know and the fact that they stay close
00:06:37.200
to that you know when i leave here and i go to my room tonight we put country music on or doing
00:06:43.360
whatever i have to do while i'm folding my shit who's your favorite country artist george straight
00:06:48.320
or al dean i have to say good choice yeah i mean you can't not like morgan wallen i i'm such a morgan
00:06:55.200
wallen fan yeah no you hear his new song have you heard uh sand in my boots no i haven't heard that one
00:07:02.560
no way it's good it's good i like the one he just released it's um i don't want to sing it but i
00:07:10.960
like i hit to my head i can't um my hometown i like that one nice yeah i think good country music is
00:07:17.840
good for your soul it's like the only music that hasn't been corrupted in my opinion completely i it
00:07:24.160
got a little poppy but i think it i think it's like a good religion it stayed to its roots in a way
00:07:30.080
yeah like it's not letting anybody break any crazy laws you know i thought about coming out with a red
00:07:34.240
pill country side note you sing uh you know what that's tristan wow look at we could i could play
00:07:44.320
the guitar you could yeah maybe yeah i could do it could be a red pill album yeah it could at least be
