I love this! I'm not an immigrant because I was born here but my parents are immigrants. In 2010 I made minimum wage $7.25 an hour washing dishes at a local restaurant. I lived in a one bedroom studio apartment that was a slum. My parents both worked crap jobs. I grew up in section 8 housing. Fast forward 10 years later and I make on average 30-60K per month and bought my first home in 2017. And a home for my parents as well as my dream car in 2017. A Ferrari 458 Italia. I love this guys story because I too was able to give back to my parents.
I had no idea that East Indian immigrants work the fields. I learned something today! Much respect to the East Indians; they tend to succeed wherever they land.
Farming is the heart of Sikhism. It is a huge business in the state of Punjab, India where most of the Sikhs are from. In fact most of GDP is from farming industry in Punjab after industrial industry.
....yep that's the indian joint-family system ..which is practiced by all(most of them) asians aswell....be it middle easterns or south asians or east asians or s.e.asians..
For me, the part of the video that stood out was @ 4:33 - his parents live with him in his big home. That is how you treat your parents. Way to go Jay.
Gotta start your own business. Then you have no limit on the amount of money you can make. Just hourly you can make a living it limited to how many hours you can work a week. High risk but also high reward.
What's crazy is my family lives 15 minutes from here. My father is from Michoacan and worked on fields, milked cows, etc. He also owns his own preowned auto dealerships. These success stories are pretty common around here. Tons of hard working immigrants creating success in Cen Cal...
Gut Instincts Podcast exactly how are they a ripoff? Most dealerships fail and go out of business because of how small the profit margins are. I think it’s like 2% on every car. That’s why dealers try to push and not negotiate because they won’t make anything.
@@ginasantiyan6842 it all depends on the dealership. I worked for one that was dirty, they purchased cars from up north in the rust belt for $2000 to $7000 less than you could down south. While the vehicles were less than three years old, they were still full of rust. And are sales department told us just look under them and if it looks bad use an empty lift and some cheap black spray paint form Lowe's. They then screwed over customers on it. they even went so far as to sell a wrecked car that had the airbags deployed prior to receiving as a certified pre-owned with no accidents on the title(was never reported, but it showed with bad paint and bodywork).
Punjabi Sikhs have hard work and dedication embedded in them. Farming is in the heart of Sikhs and the state of Punjab. I guess that is what made them a rugged hardcore community. And being a race of warriors gives them the discipline and they thrive to be businessmen and not work for others.
Please keep your lies and ethnocentric nonsense with you, there are countless Punjabis who waste their lives and are good for nothing. Farming is in the heart of every Indian, every Indian is very hard working, every Indian has the discipline.
"Befriended people in the finance business I would actually ask them how to structure deals and I learned that hey there's some good money to be made" 2:06. Great idea
God bless him and his family being good worker and smart person and I came to this country same year 1973 but I’m still working hard with average payment!!!
Great story love to see fellow South Asian see success. This is what a I love about america. I came here 2010 with nothing now got 500 plus employees. Only in America .
Really awesome. Smart and hardworking guy with something to prove. Keep moving forward. Don’t take no for an answer. Don’t settle for anything less than you and your family deserve.
No. This guy story is inspirational and I’m happy for him. But he succeeded despite the odds.I Hard work does not explain the massive income inequality in America.
@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td X doubt. Fortune 500 companies struggle to make 150 Million dollars in *annual profit*. It's definitely revenue and by the looks of it he probably takes home 3-5%...
I respect the risk he took when he started off with $60k in initial inventory. I imagine he got a loan to purchase his initial lot of cars plus the building?
I really love his story pure dedication the quality of being dedicated or committed to a task or purpose good for him and his family, he looks like a nice guy, he drive a nice car but nothing flashy hes knows what is important in life.
This is what happens wgen you get professional camera guys in. They KNOW NOTHING ABOUT what's being filmed and edit it completely stupidly. I seen other stuff showing engines being built and you see more of an art display than how the engines are ACTUALLY assembled.
I really like seeing success stories like this. Good for him. This is awesome. Why did CNBC make the video like those reality TV shows. Change the way you film and edit.
GOOD VIDEO; EVERYONE NEEDS MORE THAN THEIR BASIC SALARY TO BE FINANCIALLY SECURED, THE BEST THING TO DO WITH YOUR MONEY Is TO INVEST, MONEY LEFT IN SAVINGS ALWAYS END UP USED WITH NNO RETURNS.
Somewhere else on youtube is a video called "Requiem for the American Dream" with Noam Chomsky. Maybe some people just don't know how to act on their dreams.
Margins are about 2 percent that’s 3 million on sales times 2 because other 50 percent is from mechanic shop 6 million a year not net profit per year not bad
Great success, but think long term! You will be ok, and your kids and there kids. But if you want to leave a true legacy, make sure your great grand kids can be in position to transition to electric cars. Because that's the future. But like most people you probably won't because people only think about there own retirement.
Really like this "Blue Collar Millionaire" series.

“Wherever they land”
and its a dodge so theyre always going to be in the dealership for service.. smart
Nice dig 👌
it’s any new car
probably be better off with a chevy dealership to rack up them service charges lol
lool

I love how he has his parents live with him and how he bought the land for his father to manage post retirement.

Love that part of our culture ❤
Well he is indian so thats how our culture is we all live together
Up until I saw his parents I thought he was Mexican 🇲🇽 I guess he's Punjabi. I know that because one of my boys is Punjabi Sik. 🇮🇳

Yep he's Punjabi
how did you not realize this by his last name? Also, Jay is certainly short for a much longer Indian name
@@jamalnasir5648 I know a dude named Jose Gil and he's Mexican

What a WONDERFUL Success Story!!! GOD BLESS the Entire GILL FAMILY. JAY, YOU are an INSPIRATION.
Warmly,

I worked as a tech at a dealership that was owned and started by a Indian guy who came here with 2 pairs of pants and a shirt
He just worked smarter & not harder. Way to go man, true inspiration 🙏
Really great story and congrats on this family's success!

Thats the typical Indian family. 2-3 generations stay in the same house :)
I watch this and wonder wtf am I doing.
what I took from it is he's successful because of discipline and persistence. Good luck you can do it too if you want

That's how to treat your parents!
He has a dealership here in my town and they do sell cars like crazy
Beast Mode You actually want to buy from large dealers as they deal in quantity vs the small dealer they really aren’t going to budge.
$150 million a year works out that each dealership sells ONE $50k CAR A DAY.

Car dealerships are the worst part of the car buying/ownership experience.

This is what they mean when they say, 'American dream'. Amazing...
When I see the back-yard I get it, Jay.
Dealerships are the worst place to take your vehicle for maintenance unless it's under warranty.
U r living the dreams bro! Good luck
It's profitable to be a dealership of unreliable oversized American cars because customers have to come back all time for maintenance and repairs.
Really goes to show that if you have that motivation you can accomplish your dreams
