Last day at my 9-5 is next month. Because of your program, I started my marketing business from scratch and I'm making triple what I made at my 9-5. On to 6-figure profit this year! Thank you, Sam!
So much value Sam. You give some of the most honest and straight forward advice. You should make a video talking about some of the things you struggle with or used to struggle with that you overcame. I think it would be very value-able in your current position. Keep climbing brother
Wow man I’m looking at this comment 5 years ago from you and you and him really had this mindset to achieve greatness in the stay discipline than many people I have learned so much in 2023 and I can’t wait to get where I want to go and achieve greatness but for now, I will stay disciplined and keep being consistent
Incremental and consistent achievement-the concept of 'compound interest' is related, where you obtain a massive result from smaller parts-yes, good point.
I found your channel yesterday and it's a breath of fresh air. You have wisdom beyond your years and courage to tell the truth. The amount of lies and stupid information that is being fed to the public everyday is enormous. And what is really hard is staying different and not conforming to what the society likes to see. Huge majority of the programs and entertainment is created using the lowest common denominator.
Dude that was a great video. I used to do a lot of things. I built games. I used to draw. I used to dance. I did great stuff. Then I stopped for a reason I couldn't understand. You just reminded me how I did that. Thank you, really. I feel like it's the best tip I recieved lately.
Loved the video Sam! It could not have come at a better time. I consistently find myself unhappy because I keep focusing on the summit and peak. I'll start keeping my head down, focus on my boots and let time do its thing 👍
One of your best ever videos Sam. I remember Tony Robbins talking about chunking way back in the day. Great to see that these strategies stand the test of time. And great to see another kiwi doing so well in the world! Thank you.
Wow, there is so much here... But I loved your quote "targets are useless, unless you are shooting". At some point you gotta say... enough planning, enough lists, time for action! - Thanks Sam
Excellent Sam! In all my years of sales and customer service, I’ve never heard of “ Chunking”, AND your very articulate way of explaining it’s meaning and importance for outstanding success.
Sam Ovens I love this, “just look at your boots” I am from the midlands Ireland and currently building my business. All of your content is helping me change my life BIG TIME. How much is your course Sam?
Hello Sam, nice video! My question is: I can think on my 5 year, 1 year etc goals with clarity. But It's very difficult for me to be clear about the smaller steps to achieve these goals. It seems impossible to reverse engineer the steps. I just don't know exactly all the thousands of steps I need to take. What do you recommend to do? Thanks!
Awesome video Sam. People would achieve A LOT More if they better understood "delayed gratification." In my humblest opinion, I feel instant gratification can be real cancerous in your life in the long term. I agree with what you said about Social Media 1000%. It definitly has a vice grip on the mind of the majority that consumes it. "Energy Flows Where The Attention Goes." But they complain and wonder why their lives are where it is today...
Hey Sam, just wanted to let you know it’s really cool to see how successful people think and what concepts helped them achieve success. Thank you for the videos! 👍🏽
Sam, thanks a lot for this. I don't normally comment on videos, but I felt a true connection with you on this, which I don't often feel when watching guru videos. You provided genuinely useful information, without any obvious push towards your products. Love it!
Completely agree. Funny enough I was thinking the same thing while watching too. Sam's explanations definitely feel more genuine and practically then other guru's.
I have one question for you-- what happens when your goals change? What if I'm not entirely sure on what I want to be doing in 10 years? Would it be advisable to just pick something even if I don't feel 100% "passionate" about it? Thank you for this video and all the other content you put out!
If you are not sure on your goal. I would advise that you do not fixate on that goal as if you do not know where you are going with your life, or not 100% then you will keep floating around searching for that goal after a shot time. Just take a moment to sit and reflect on what you truly want to achieve whether it is: financial gain, happiness, strength. Once you ARE 100% sure on what you would like to achieve in let's say 1 year as it does not need to be 10 years. Then, we should act day by day and take the necessary action to achieve that goal. After a year passes by, what can we do THIS year to achieve this new goal. For example: I made $100,000 last year, this year I want to make $500,000. I hope this helped you out and solved your problem.
I love these types of videos because you can apply it to so many aspects of life and not only business. Thank you for being such an inspiration! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for another brilliant strategy, Sam! You mention mountaineering films-would you consider making a video on some of the books and movies that have led to your great insights?
How in the heck can someone so young have so much wisdom? Oh, that’s right chunking! :-) Sam, you are fantastic I love your videos. I just started sharing them with my wife and she’s not one to watch things like this. But she loves them so much, she’s even teaching her nieces what you teach. That is incredible believe me thanks a million Sam you are special and are changing many lives :-)
I'm a highschool student and I had never come across something that is so realistic as this. My highschool motivational speeches from speakers are bullshit and I wouldn't listen because it's so fantasy like. But I love this, and I took note of every part you've written. Saving up right now to buy your accelerator, that's my goal 🎉
Thanks Sam, really liked this video. I’ve watched a lot of your content and never felt the urge to comment until this one. See you in uplevel consulting in 18 months!
These are great videos, I first found you through your video with Tai Lopez. The figures mentioned where so crazy i did not relate. After consuming hours of your content these last few days attending webianrs, watching your RU-vid ads and RU-vid videos, and meeting your students and getting to know you better... I believe you have built something truly special.. thanks for posting.
As usual, Sam, I love your video. Paraphrase: "Never stare at the summit, by doing that you don't get there." "Don't fixate on Lamborghinis ". This is the exact OPPOSITE of what Dan Lok says: Paraphrase: "I want that $250,000 car. 1. Set it, 2. see it, 3. live it, (go to dealerships and take it for a test drive.), 4. share it: (Tell people when looking at the Bentley: "That's my car." ). Then it becomes normal, you get used to the lifestyle." Like fake it till you make it. Interesting the disagreement. However, I do think that Dan is right to say that you should aim for something you want, and keep going in that direction. And I do think that Sam is right in saying that you'll get disheartened if you look at all the work you have to do [as one chunk]. "Walking a few steps", then repeat is easier than "Climbing a MOUNTAIN!" I think that chunking it up, and then plotting a graph of your path to that goal is a very pleasing way to do it, you get the joy of your progress. I used that method to write my (scientific) PhD thesis very quickly. (I don't do ANYTHING quickly).
Awesome video man you got all my confusion just wear away I still am not good at cutting down or chunking my goals I trust your advices and I’m taking them
“Drive is important. Hustle is important. You can’t look at the top of the staircase and want to be there. You have to look at the step directly in front of you and ask yourself, ‘How do I climb that step?” ~ Patrick Wilson
Sam your seriously amazing. At this point in my agency I need most help with Project management? Curious on the principles / methods you use with your team on PM! Thanks
Chunking... great goals small tasks to make it possible! We help people to conquer their goals on cycling thinking longer term doing day by day specific works! Thanks for your info!
I have months trying to do the handstand, like 3 months, the most I can keep it is 5 secs, at first I was too focused on progress but now I just do it because it feels good to me
Wow! Another informative video as usual. I love how structured you are. I am the same way. I've found that being that way has caused me to gain more clarity and focused on my tasks at hand. This is definitely a JEWEL that can help me to tackle ANY big goals, tasks, etc in the future. THANKS
It's a disease it is called Pika that causes people to want to eat weird things. Some people ate planes/trains for attention but they had Pika and wanted to do it anyway.
I have a previous example of "the summit". I was sitting down and I had kept looking at the clock to see how long was left until my time was up. I looked at the clock and saw that there was still 15 minutes left after a long time of doing my meditation. Then, because I kept looking at the clock, I began to have to urge to leave because that thought of wanted to leave was fixated in my mind. So, what I would do is tell myself that there is 30 minutes left instead. Now why would I do this? I did this because, if we make our minds think that it is going to take longer than it ACTUALLY is- then when I feel that 15 minutes is up, I can look at the clock to check. This way, the mind thinks that "actually that was not a long time at all" when the time is up. However if I looked at the clock too soon, I would repeat the process and tell myself that it is going to take longer that it really is. We can trick the brain into making ourselves have more endurance and achieve things that we think are not achievable.
Amazing video Bro. Very inspiring. Love your approach and strategies. It's no rocket science but the way you deliver is outstanding. Aman from Auckland
