Dang! I must admit, when I first heard of Sam I judged him the same way as the other "internet marketers" selling courses (Tai Lopez)... But man, Sam is SMART!! This guy is really a good mentor and business man! Your content is awesome man!
There are a lot of Sam Oven haters online who write reviews about him and his products even though they've never been his students. They just assume he's your regular internet fake "guru." Sam is a brilliant marketer and the best business coach one could ever hope for. I know that because I've actually completed his Accelerator Program and it changed my life.
All of the above is SO true. I travel way too much as part of my job as a RU-vid creator and it puts me so behind in terms of productivity it kills me. I love traveling but not as much as I love grinding and making $$. Definitely going to re-evaluate my next couple months! Also, my friends think I'm crazy because every night before bed (no matter what time it is), I HAVE to make an hour by hour schedule for my next day. But it seriously helps so much! I usually wake up like "what year is it" if I don't. Let me know if you want help growing your YT channel or producing for it, etc etc (sure you don't need it) but always down to join the team 😎😎
Been watching your videos for a while Sam, unreal content. I've been working on my own e commerce business since march of this year and have already implemented so many of your suggestions. Just ordered a planner, just started reading psycho cybernetics, getting up early and getting big things done first and focusing on one thing rather than running around like a chicken with my head cutoff trying to get mundane things done everyday, stopped watching tv, and now I'm motivated to completely change my wardrobe and hire a chef soon when I'm making more money. Thanks for the content I always look forward to your videos :)
Lift big rocks first. 14:22 “...maybe I’ll do it tomorrow, tomorrow becomes today, pattern repeats and then what ends up happening: person dies and never achieves anything.”
Such great advice. When you "float" through each day you just don't even realize how much time and energy you are wasting. I"ll definitely be looking at the war map and trying to implement that. Thank You
Wow great topic and makes perfect sense. My biggest take away was “Plan for tomorrow today”. I have been the worst with that but I’m gonna make that change now. I am bad at organization and I cannot allow that to cripple me anymore. Thanks a million Sam!
Professional truck drivers are limited to working 70 hours a week because they can make up to 60 decisions a minute while driving a tractor trailer that is 12 feet wide, 13 feet high, 75 feet long, and weighs up to 80,000 lbs.
They tell themselves they are going to get these business projects done today. But they have a daily routine of things they do and by the time they are done doing them to get to the business project, they have little left in the tank and just put it off to another day.. Whenever I am trying to expand into some new business thing, this is what I find myself facing, which is similar to what you are saying, but its more along the lines of expanding my business.
So much of what you say validates theories I already live my life by and so it's SO NICE to her it articulated and think to myself "ok so it's not just you that thinks this way, Sam does too!" And this reinforces me to make certain ideals important in my life. Like "plan tmro today" and Ect... Thanks for the Video.
Yes, I tend to wear a black teeshirt, jeans and a black denim jacket, I can't be bothered with clothes and choosing lots of ensembles. The only variation to this is my long black coat, and Fedora hat for special occasions ;)
I agree with you 100% on all of your points. But don't leave all of your money in one bank account, at the very least put a large portion of it into a whole life insurance policy with a Mutual Company like NY Met, Prudential, Mutual of Omaha. etc., and ignore all of the financial advisers telling you otherwise, this is tax free savings! The policy will earn a minimum dividend payment of 2%, and it's tax free interest. You can also borrow money from yourself to spend, again tax free provided you setup a repayment plan to yourself! I don't sale insurance, but get the book, "Becoming Your Own Banker" by R. Nelson Nash. Clothes, who cares what you wear, yes the first impression is important, but neatness, a manicured clean look is the first thing people see, clothing is peripheral. What they care about is YOU, your heart, your passion, you know, YOUR character! I'm getting ready to retire, and I want to start a new business platform targeting small businesses, and I think consulting.com might be a piece of the puzzle!
I think you are a very sane person! I like you because you are very specific and don't go around. Your suggestions, or should I say your modus operandi is straight forward, simple, objective and clear. You made it all systematic which is a very good thing.
Hi Sam , i am saving money to buy the basic program now. i have always been comfortable with fixed clothing. this video confirmed i am tracking well. thanks , it is such blessing to have your work available to people like me . i already failed a business and rebuilding back up now and would like to start learning and hopefully shine back on
Buying food from online is one of the best things I ever discovered. I have search bars, it recommends me my previous meals automatically, GoPuff even has mealkits. Not to mention GoPuff delivers in like 30 minutes which is even faster than I could drive. Its amazing
Thanks Sam... I have considered a uniform for myself, but not implemented yet... Its a great idea. Also realized that I totally spend all my good morning energy on distraction tasks wow! I am building a business while working full time. I think it would serve me to start my job later and get big rock tasks done for myself before I go work for them. Love the videos, thanks so much!
What'd you think of this video? Let me know what you think or if you have any questions for me, let me know here in the comments! I will be reading/replying to them all personally :)
So many gurus have so many complex ways of doing Things I fell into trying to learn way too many ways of doing things especially internet marketing keep it simple is crazy good Ima do that now cut down and be productive
Awesome! I heard from Dale Carnegie's course an idea of Trap Contracts to get fire underneath the feet to get things done. Trap Contracts are artificial contracts set, that if not completed will bring some unwanted experience at a high enough pain level, so you do everything to avoid it. One example is to give a friend a check in an envelope, with a high enough monetary value that might break your budget, made out to a cause you absolutely hate and if you do not uphold your end of the contract, he will place that in the mail. I think with the combo of a war map plan and a trap contract that puts the pain level high enough to get priority things done.
I love this video so much ! Just came across your youtube channel and videos from your Facebook ads and Instagram ads! I usually don't watch such long youtube videos but this one was just spitting fire! Ive learn so much from it and I will continue to watch your videos! Keep Inspiring! Ive written down so many notes on my white board from this video! Thank You
The doorbell rang around 28:55 and Sam didn,t even flinch. That shows you he has mastered what he speaks. 110% focus. Most of us would have looked towards the door. Also Sam, what's the name of the time management app? It sounds like "Warm" but I cant find it. Thank you.
Think about all the decisions you have to make e.g. when driving to work. Honestly, those little decisions like what to wear or what to eat hardly tax your decision power. If it does, you might simply be indecisive, being a whole different issue by itself. Planning and lifting the big rocks on the other hand is serious work. I completely agree.
Thank you Sam! You inspired me to start consulting! I haven’t even taken your course yet, but Ive watched enough videos like how to use your dark side and flip it to my advantage I’ve found a market where I saw a problem and now I’ve been speaking with people in Facebook groups to solve that problem and get value back (money) for it! Thank you Sam! You opened my eyes to so many things I was doing incorrectly in my life!
Thank you Sam, your advices are really helpful. I became more productive when I applied your day routine principles. Effective schedule with no distractions helps a lot. I'm suprised why such informative and useful videos have so few views compared to other business 'gurus'.
A fabulously important recap of activities to focus one's daily life and become more productive and successful! Well done Sam! This is a monumental influence to your students and to the broader world which is delusional at best! It's practical and can be applied immediately to those that are tired of falling short of the mark of real success!
Great as always, and I'm watching closely. I am not able to swipe a card yet but even from the videos, I learn tonnes of things. Thanks Sam ! You have one more constant follower from Nairobi.
Your videos are extremely enlightening and inspiring, your perspective on life is incredibly unconventional which is great and necessary in today's society. I practice a couple of these points you mentioned but after this I will definitely step up my game. I loved how you broke down the fourth point with meticulous precision and I will DEFINITELY take that on board! Keep on becoming and spreading your ideas and perceptive as it is necessary and extremely insightful, stay blessed Sam!
Since you already conceptualize Fibonacci spiral you already understand when I tell you that you lean heavily in constructive structural “male” energy as oppose to the more fluid dynamic “female “ energy. Your methods while logical and structured are only one half of the coin in effective creation. It’s like when you talk about binaries and always wanting to stay nonbinary. You’re naturally going to lean to one side. This is your side. But there is also the other side of the coin that leads to the same results but looks different. Our levels of consciousness can vary in terms of what makes each work in an ideal state. I completely agree with you to limit variables in some aspects. But you are on the farther end of the spectrum in expression. To bottom line myself: effective expression happens in many variables. This is just your dominant resonation(you have to acknowledge that some might thrive in a dynamic environment as appose to a static one). It’s quite interesting.
Thanks for posting this video Sam! Really great value. I can say that the company that I'm working for right now is frustrating because we have project management software that we communicate in, email, Microsoft Teams, etc. I'm going to propose to my team that we operate under one communication umbrella.
thanks Sam, I really appreciated the information you shared in this video and the way you put it to a easily understandable concept. great job! but keep up the good work on helping us folks out there!
It's a good idea and I noticed it too, but don't you feel it's boring or that people think you're always wearing the same clothes day in day out (and don't wash them)?
Sam your observations are clever. And it makes a lot of things. I've heard from Dan Lok too - watch the video you want, take just three ideas or takeaways and then get out of it. But I think keep listening to your video worth it. I'm not following you as a subscriber but my RU-vid feed is sometimes full of your videos 😃
Really nice, most of it I already knew, but there's a huge difference in knowing and applying knowledge. However, this confirms I'm on the right track with keeping my life as minimal/simple as possible. Thank you for this great piece of content!
Sam, I'm on this program since a few months ago... Question: What's your point of view about time / productivity when you have kids? Preparing breakfast, walking them to the school bus, having lunch and dinner with them, going to extra school classes (tennis, piano), checking homework and also running a business... Of course they "consume" a lot of time and energy. The approach on this video sounds much more for a single person or for an entrepreneur with no family (meaning kids). Thanks!
I suggest using an awards card like American Express to take advantage of perks, points and cash back all while keeping a zero revolving balance by paying the balance in full every month.
Thanks! I'm looking at groceries online right now! And clothes to wear everyday ! This was helpful. In regards to travel , how to not be bored of the same location ??
I have 10 same shirts and pants. My neighbor asked me one day how is it possible that I don't stink wearing the same things day after day. LOL ... I said to him that I eat and shit flowers.
Good video Sam. Your videos help me have a better life in every area. Thank you for taking the time to create them and publish them online for free. I have one question about eliminating variables: It makes sense until you talked about business accounts. Q: You said your business only has 1 bank account. What would you do if your bank suddenly closed your account? Wouldn't you want to diversify that way to protect your downside?
does making decisions get worse during the day part apply to wolf chronotypes? because i wake up at 12pm but i dont reach my learning peak until 5pm so i cant do high cognitive ability work in the morning( noon for me) unlike lion and bear chronotypes
I liked the video, I can relate to the clothes especially, I think from time to time what my co-workers must think of me, I wear the same color shirts , blue and black, and dockers and docker style pants, that is it!
GREAT video ! Thanks a lot , makes me think. Is the theory that making decisions taking power yours or can I find some more on it (to persuade myself more I guess :) ?
