At 19, Justin Goodbread sat in a Zig Ziglar event and wrote down one goal: to be worth

$10,000,000

He reached it before 40, building and selling businesses along the way. Now he shows business owners and financial advisors how to build a business that runs with or without them.

If your business cannot run without you, you do not own a business. You own a job that owns you.

You didn't start your company because you wanted another job. But somewhere along the way, your business started running you.

New signature keynote

The DecaMillionaire Way

Turn your company from a job into a business worth building and scaling, one that gives you your life versus taking it from you.

A DecaMillionaire is somebody who's achieved a net worth greater than ten million. How do you get there? By building a sellable, scalable business that runs with or without you.

“If your audience looks successful on the outside, but feels stuck on the inside, this is the keynote that moves them forward.”

It's the message behind everything Justin does.
