Helping Business Owners Create Wealth, Time-Freedom, and Lasting Impact
Raised on a dirt road in Brunswick, Georgia, Justin Goodbread’s journey started with a push mower, a lot of sweat, and a drive most teenagers couldn’t spell—much less harness. By 15, he launched his first landscaping company. Three decades later, he’s built, scaled, and sold multiple businesses across 7-, 8-, and 9-figure valuations—and coached hundreds of business owners to double or triple their value.
Today, Justin is a globally recognized business strategist, bestselling author, keynote speaker, and founder of The Decamillionaire Way—a framework designed to help service-based business owners break free from the daily grind, scale with purpose, and finally achieve the lifestyle freedom they set out to build in the first place.
But don’t let the accolades fool you.
Justin’s no-nonsense, faith-driven, and Southern-bred. He believes in straight talk, hard work, and building businesses that serve your life—not consume it.

His no-nonsense approach cuts through the typical business jargon to deliver what actually works in the real world.
What is The Decamillionaire Doctrine?
The Decamillionaire Doctrine is a battle-tested system for service-based business owners who are ready to stop working IN their business and start working ON it. It’s where relentless execution meets strategic freedom—transforming overworked owners into wealthy business leaders who build lasting legacies.
Decipher. Discover. Deliver.
Through his proprietary framework—The Decamillionaire Way—Justin guides clients through five transformational phases that turn chaos into clarity and resistance into revenue:
- Relentless Foundation – Unlock clarity and direction, so every decision moves you closer to the freedom and legacy you crave.
- Relentless Examination – Cut through confusion, eliminate waste, and remove roadblocks that allows you to accelerate your growth and profitability.
- Relentless Execution – Implement powerful systems and build a reliable team, allowing your business to scale effortlessly while you reclaim your life.
- Relentless Exit – Maximize the value of your business, positioning it for top-dollar saleability, so you have the ultimate freedom of choice.
- Relentless Freedom – Transform your financial success into lasting impact, building a life that aligns fully with your purpose and highest aspirations.
Whether on stage, on a podcast, or behind closed doors with a client, Justin brings actionable strategy with relentless conviction.
The Man Behind the Mission
Husband. Father. Farmer. Faithful Servant.
When the mic turns off and the business deals are done, Justin’s favorite titles are the ones not printed on a business card.
He lives on a small hobby farm with his wife and three kids, where goats, chickens, turkeys, and guinea fowl roam freely—and where laughter, love, and the smell of fresh garden tomatoes fill the air.
You’ll find him:
- Scuba diving offshore with his kids (Advanced Open Water Certified)
- Trolling for Mahi and Tuna off the Atlantic coast
- Elk hunting in the Rockies or bowhunting in Kansas
- Gaming on Xbox with his boys
- Playing piano or saxophone at church or around the house
Justin’s greatest joy comes not from business wins, but from faith, family, and watching his kids grow into servant-hearted leaders. This isn’t just work-life balance—it’s work-life freedom. And it’s what Justin helps his clients achieve through relentless execution and unwavering faith.
