• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: Who you surround yourself with is who you become.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: When you think about that phrase, do you think about it negatively or positively?
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: Do you think, oh, I'm gonna end up being a millionaire with a great and beautiful wife, with a beautiful family, two, three children, big house, nice cars, and then my dream life?
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: Or do you think, man, I'm gonna end up a loser on my couch, eating pizza, watching TV, doing God knows what?
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_00: Because those are the people I'm spending my time with.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: Which way are you thinking?
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: Last night I had the honor to sit down with a good friend of mine, Justin Groff, who will soon be a guest on this podcast.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: By the time this episode comes out, he may have already been on the podcast.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: And Justin Groff is my age, 20 years old.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: He started his business in 2012.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: That means he started his business when he was nine years old.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: Not too many people do that.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: And his business is in landscaping.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: He is now doing$800,000 a year in revenue.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: And yet this is only the beginning for him.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: He is planning to go national, and then he is planning to go international with private equity service businesses.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: So if you were 20 years old, you might be looking at your friends and be like, oh man, he's just playing video games all day, he just going to parties all night, he just drinking and smoking and sleeping around and again doing God knows what.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: Because the other thing that really struck me was every single thing that Justin does is for God.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: He truly lives with and by God.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: Any of these type of people, not these people specifically, but any of these types of people, you will see your life in front of you change like that.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: Seeing where he's had success and seeing where he's failed, it goes to show, listen, ignorant people, they never learn.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Smart people, they learn from their mistakes.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: But the smartest people, they learn from others' mistakes.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: So if I can take mentors or just people who I am an associator, a friend of, and see their mistakes, that's going to prevent me from having to learn those mistakes myself by making those million-dollar mistakes, those$10 million mistakes, those massive, massive mistakes.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: And I really want you guys to become intentional on who am I spending my time with?
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: Who am I allowing to get into my aura?
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: And do they align with my goals?
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: Because maybe you just want to be average, maybe you just want to make 40 grand a year, maybe you just want to be out of shape, maybe you just want to be divorced, maybe that's what you want.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: And if that's what you want, then keep hanging with whoever you want, because that's the average person.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: Keep hanging with whoever you want.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: But if you want more, if you want more money, better relationships, a beautiful wife, beautiful children, beautiful house, beautiful car.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: If you want a great life, then you have to think about who you're spending time with.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: So after you watch this video, think about it.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: Who am I spending time with?
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: And drop a comment in the comments below.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: I am doing great with my networking, or I need to work on my networking.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: And here is my three-step process, or here's the one thing I can do to get better.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: Period.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: Because another thing is, dude, if you're lying to yourself, or if you're lying to me, okay, cool, lie to me.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: By all means, lie to me.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: But ultimately, who are you impacting?
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: You are only lying to yourself, you are only holding yourself back.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm I'm I'm networking, I'm working, I'm I'm building a business, I'm building my body, I'm building my relationships.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: And if I'm not, if I'm lying, then hey, guess what?
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: You aren't going to be impacted.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna be the one that fails because of that.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: Really, really, really want you to think about who you're spending time with and what you're spending your time doing.
• 5:08
