- I graduated from USC business school and joined the family business during an economic recession. I saw an opportunity that lead me to pivot our family business from wholesale to retail. In this video, I share with you my journey on becoming an authorized dealer of some of the biggest brands, my 5 pillars of success and how I built my jewelry business to what it is today which made it possible for me to purchase my dream car.

It’s rare to find humility in someone who comes from money. It’s even more rare to find someone who comes from money and doesn’t squander everything his/her parents worked hard to build, but instead made it even bigger and better.
Thanks for sharing your inspiring story.
Exactly

Very inspiring content, more of this please !
Hi David,
how did you become so important in terms of reselling and what it allowed you to ''scale-out'' your business along with your Ferrari collection?
many thanks
best
Yes please.
That would be great!

Thankyou David. Inspiring, and so happy that your Sincerity and perseverance communicated in the way you described. Eye contact is so important for authentic communication. Warmest regards. :)
Great story! You seen to be a classy guy and humble even though you’re very successful ! We need more people like you in this world!
Thanks for your kind words 🙏.
He's so cool that he doesn't even show off
We need to be like him and not finding more people like him.
And then he finish spending only life on TH-cam 😂🤣🤣🤣 so fake!
@@ferraricollectordavidlee goodmornjng sir, you are so rich and kind person and looks so humble...can i ask from even a small cheap car,☺️
He's right about emails, phone calls and texting. Nothing beats eye to eye contact when looking for someone's true intentions.
Legend says he's still holding the mug
😅
The elbow leaning on the fender makes me cringe.. 😬
It's well placed right above the Ferrari logo
I freaking love this guy. He's the real deal. Humble, meek and kind. And he DRIVES his cars too. Props to him.
The stool makes this video 100% more authentic.
Normal ppl cant afford this antique stool. It's from the Qiang Dynasty.
This stool costs $20k

OK, speaking as an old salesman for 44 years, the most important part of this video is at the end, and David you are so right about the importance of direct personal contact for success. I don't care where the technology goes in the future, this will always be the case for human beings. Beautiful store, but I would never rest my elbow on the fender of my 288 GTO even if it's Kevlar!
I came here form Doug's video of Ferrari SF90.
Wow. What an inspirational story. After all the success you still seem humble, sincere and honest. Thanks so much for sharing.
I love stories like this! Truly inspirational and goes to show the American Dream is alive and well. Hard work, vision and perseverance really do pay off. Thank you for sharing your story.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Stories of immigrant success should encourage us all to know that it is still possible to make it !
@@johnpick8336 absolutely!
Thank you Mr Lee for taking the time to make this film.
Your message about your five points strongly resonated with me.
I am an Australian living in Lucerne Switzerland and I feel very strongly that through hard work, vision and persistence, the opportunity will show itself to me at the moment that it is meant to.
It has been great to watch through your social media an example of what I aspire to be.
I am very grateful to you and others like you, who show that it is very realistically possible to aim high and achieve it.
Once again, Thank You.
Thank you for your kind words and support 🙏
It’s so hard to find genuine business advice and stories from those who did it themselves. As a fellow entrepreneur with a growing business, I appreciate your insights. Thanks!
a lot of people have the belief that it takes a certain level of dishonesty to reach your goals. this is another honest man with integrity that is exactly where he wanted to be.
Mr. Lee, you earned it…standing tall upon your Father’s wholesale legacy and I’m quite sure they noticed your persistence coming back on the hour, every hour, for multiple years. You’re the personification of integrity and work ethic paying off and as others have mentioned you’re remarkably humble. I’ve always looked forward to your appearances on Jay Leno’s channel and I’m glad I now have the opportunity to be a new subscriber on yours.
Appreciatively…
The company I work for, Proterra, here in Walnut, CA, recently went IPO. David, yours is a very inspirational story. You didn’t take shortcuts or get on the shady deal side. Persistence, Integrity, Conviction, and Honesty. No question you deserve your successes, David. I see your Rowland Heights/Walnut location all the time traveling down 60. Cheers to you!
There's something I've been chasing for the past 1 year, I've never felt the need to stop, this is inspiring ...
What an absolutely wonderful human. I really love the spirit of this man. humble and kind.
David, this is a fantastic story. I could just picture what you went through and the disappointment post each European trip. I could also just picture you in disbelief when the offer was officially made. That is a true testimony to integrity and persistence! Great video! I have subscribed and looking forward to great videos like this one in the future.
Great story from a genuine bloke . Thank you
You had a clear vision and you were willing to go the extra mile to make it happen. Success is about making the right trade offs in your sacrifices to achieve your goals. Well done David 👍
I admire the humbleness Mr. Lee! Makes me want to work even harder!
That’s how I got my first job as a kid everyday I asked Jack are you hiring. And finally after 6 months of asking everyday he said I’ll hire you if you just stop asking lol. We became family he was a great human being and he said I was his best employee. Never give up on what you want no matter what no is never an option in my world it’s just a diversion for a yes.
Great job. Be persistent and never give up 👍
You must be proud with your self.The money doesn’t change your heart.I don’t know you personally sir but it will be an honour to meet you.There are not a lot of rich people like you to share the knowledge that they have and to open their house to the people.And you are a truly Ferraristi.FORZA FERRARI
Top notch guy, so humble. I already loved when Jay would have him on the show, so excited about this channel.
David, you and I share many similarities. We’re the same age, and our fathers started their businesses in 1965. Both of us started young with our fathers in business and then changed and vastly expanded the companies. As well, we both dreamed in the mid 80’s about becoming successful enough to buy a 288. I sacrificed, worked hard and developed my company over the years, to a point where I sold it last year to a multibillion dollar international conglomerate. Like you, I have built a collection of cars, including several Ferrari’s. Cheers to your success🍻
Spotted david on jays show top bloke and definitely deserves all the success he has and his passion for cars is amazing
Awesome ❤️
The Great Winston Churchill once said, "never give up! never give up! never, never, never"!
Thank You for sharing your AMAZING story with us David
Honor & integrity in business eventually come full circle and pay off even if in the moment they might not seem to.
Just that kind of story i needed to hear today! All the best wishes!
Hey David, I'm really happy to see you building you're own youtube channel after seeing you on Jay Leno's Garage, Doug DeMuro, and other youtube channels. You're putting out great, unique content and I really enjoyed the videos I've seen so far. Especially this video, a lot of car guys like myself are very interested in learning how you became successful and are able to build such an amazing collection of cars. Also, I made some comments on a video you were in. It's been a while and I cant remember if it was one of your youtube videos or on Instagram, but I mentioned the audio quality and said that it was hard to hear you. I'm glad you didn't take that the wrong way and accepted it as constructive criticism as I wasn't trying to be rude, and you even replied and said that you would try to do a better job going forward. Your improvements are really showing in your newer content. I know you're a very busy guy, but if you keep uploading videos on a regular basis your social media will surely grow.
Fantastic story david 👏👍
Such an inspiring story, keep up with the great content, David. Regards from LA.
Thanks so much! 🙏
Good to see you enjoying and sharing your success . Thank you David.
Thank you 🙏
Indeed it's a great story! I hope now while I am in this age( 41 years old) I can do something successful and made my kids proud of their father 😔
It's never too late man. With time and effort you can still be really successful and a good father. Just remember to always put your family's priority first, and falling back to ground zero is better than falling below your starting point.
@@SoapOnTheRope88 thanks man for the motivation
That was an amazing story!!! Often people see the fruits of labor but, never see the years of hard work that one has put in to achieve their success. Thanks for sharing your story David!
Glad you enjoy my story 🙏
What a fantastically great and motivating story !!! Thank you David for sharing your journey !!!
Thanks for sharing your story, David! Always great hearing about people succeeding!
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
very impressed,,, inspiring , humble, patient, respectful.... wow!
Thank you, David! You show us the cars as inspiration, but more importantly, give nuggets of wisdom on how we can also get to our own dreams. Truly inspiring that you found the right factors during the recession! Now that we're in a similar world situation, what can we look out for to make the most out of it like you did? I'm also a 2nd gen in our family business, by the way.
In life we make life changing choices. Working hard to make your place can far exceed any expectations, I am so happy for you. "We need more people like you in this world!"
Thanks David. Your story is truly inspiring, I could feel the emotion and feeling when you talked about your trip in Switzerland. Thanks for your reminder, many people give up easily, but you just need to work hard, with perseverance and with integrity.
What a great thing to be able to hear that story first hand. I came here for a Ferrari owners perspective, a real one, and had a class on work ethics and entrepreneurship. It totally deconstructed my prejudice. Also, the way he talks of the cars as an investment, one can see he has both feet grounded up. What a gem of a channel.
I would love to hear more business related videos! Thank You David
PS - A video about Rolex watches that are better investments or hold their value would be interesting
This is a great lesson on the importance of integrity! Thank you David this is inspiring!
Thank you for the story! It is very inspirational. Dream big and never give up!
Thanks David. I always thought your business was so easy all along the way. I never once thought you had any challenges or had to struggle but the story with the Rolex appointments really brings it back to reality.
That’s awesome, Mr. Lee! Seems like your discipline, hard work, and goals have helped you become a success.
I appreciate you sharing your story. Absolutely enjoy your car collection and hope to see an example at any of the future shows.
Good day!
David! I'm not sure if you remember me, but I ran into you on my way out of 101Noodle Express on Baldwin Ave. a few years ago. I asked you if you brought your black Dino... my brother has a yellow Dino as a daily driver and we'd love the opportunity to check out your collection, especially your black Dino! I'd also love to see your jewelry store too cause I'm a watch guy as well as a car guy. Hope to hear back from you! Take care. Great story too!
What a powerful story David. Integrity and humility are your hallmarks and they have taken you so very far.
Thank you for sharing your dream with us David. It's so good to hear someone so successful wanting to share your experience with us all. I learned about you from your appearance with Jay Leno. You have the best and most tasteful ferrari collections i have ever seen. I love that you actually use your cars too👍. Wishing you the very best
This man has integrity. A very hard to find trait in this day and age! Kudos!
THANKYOU for sharing. Character isn't taught in business school. Glad to see character and virtue rewarded. This is true motivation.
I’m here via Jay’s page. Very great message for life. Regardless of what it is. Thank you.
Great hearing your story. Dealing face to face is the best way to deal with someone. I could do some deals just as easily online but if I am selling something or myself I jump on a plane and meet the person face to face. I fly to LA, NY, PARIS, anywhere and meet them. They always appreciate it and after that internet is fine. Trust is a big factor and the best way to get that is looking into someone's eyes.
Wow great story, soo many nuggets, how can anybody not help but like this guy. Absolutely first class and humble , great job David!
Loving the story !!! we need more people like you
Super fruitful and inspiring! Best 13 minutes today!
I appreciate your honesty and integrity. 💯🙏💯

Very inspirational - The outlining fact is to set a goal & strategize your moves to manifest said goal - The path is never easy but seeing you reap your fruits is a clear indication that it’s more than possible ‼️ Thanks for another gem David 🙏🏾 🐴

David thank you for sharing this incredible story.
