Amazing value as always Sam! It was a game changer to me about a year ago when I realised that 'if you don't go forward, you go backwards', there's no such way of standing still ! Love your videos, I appreciate your knowledge and do my best to apply it and I count that as a way to make me go forward because it really does! Thank you Sam!
I didn't join your community (yet) but so far I had the chance to learn so much just by watching your videos! Just want to say thank you. Keep moving your boat as faster as you can!
Sam’s method is too robotic for me. As a creative entrepreneur, my process is different. Life isn’t all about maximizing productivity. I need time to feel & express myself. Sam thinks like an engineer. That doesn’t work for everyone. Made a channel where I talk about emotions & entrepreneurship. Thought you might enjoy it! Check it out :)
There aren't a lot of videos of this type that I come back to, but even a week later I came back and watched the whole thing as I was going about planning the day. Thank you Sam!
I like how people call you a scam without watching any video of yours. I have changed my daily routine so much ever since I've started watching your videos, and was able to accomplish way more every day. Thank you.

ou pointed a lot of detailed items that were happening on my work flow that were stopping my boat from moving forward...but starting from today they're all eliminated or automated. Thanks for the great content Sam!
Sam is impressive how your older videos add so much value. I am the ecommerce business mainly doing Amazon FBA and your mindset content is so applicable to any business model. Focusing on valuable work and principles over noise and potential distractions. When I work less on new “things” the more profit and progress I do. Thank you for all the content you provide to the community
Love this part of New York, the part that most people don’t see. I live about an hour or two from the Catskills myself, and try to go hiking up there as much as possible. Really helps to clear the mind
Man this video made me think how valuable I'm already. All these moving the needle activities I can help business owners to do. I can't say thank you enough, now I have the clarity to make a real good offer to my clients. I'm owning you a lot, many insights better than other that I have to pay for.
Thank you for all the advice you give. It helps me expand my thinking and possibilities. My dream is to making a difference through coaching in football to help players use their possibilities. Your work are really helping me thinking in new ways. Again, thanks!
Thanks Sam. Very perceptive that people get bogged down and lazy day-to-day instead of making the boat go faster. Yes, it is a great thing to know to get an edge on the competition, but also a warning for entrepreneurs to always stay on top of their game!
Hey Sam! This was a great message. A portion of every day should be spent on making the boat faster. I call this “pushing the needle forward”. I want to hear more about the software you use to automate your business. I used your consulting accelerator to come up with my own consulting business called Dominate Tech. I focus on showing clients how to automate their business using key software tools.
Hi Sam Ovens, Your analysis question, "Does it make the boat go faster" is an interesting concept. In traditional business, drought with competition in the wider marketplace, a traditional business owner is scanning the product sales efficiency in the face of other like businesses, while trying to "trim" (sailing term) the overhead costs. Within direct sales, the way we increase our income is by: helping other people achieve through leadership (we teach them to "sail" out on the water (marketplace). Our reward system is geared to increasing business volume for a fellow partner....on the same "boat" our organisation. Very people oriented, but still on the ground finding solutions to growth and profitability and strengthening relationships. The overall aim for us is: grow business product volume, but also leadership skills and succeed getting multiple boats across the finish line (high qualification). Leaders qualify for compounding rebates and bonuses for holding group business together. No competition in the marketplace....just building your team. It is another focus...but can "float your boat" in a very satisfying way.
Sam these videos you have been posting lately are EXTREMELY helpful! They are easy to relate to and give real examples of things we can start applying right away instead of just talking about things in theory. I appreciate all your efforts to help people with this information! Thanks!
Sam, greetings from Brazil. The content is great, right to the point. And every single day I'm following at least one of the tips you're sharing with us . Thanks so much for that. Soon I'll be ready to join the course.
Great piece of advice, Sam. I have only realized this in the last year or so and have started to delegate such tasks more and more. Wish your video had come out 2 or 3 years ago. :) If you could make a video about how to structure offers to leads for consulting in order to boost the conversion rate that would be great. It's what I'm working on right now. Thanks.
Great content Sam! This is the stuff they should be teaching in schools but don't. I'm impressed at how you cut through the crap and demystify the world of business. Will be spreading the word. :-)
This is spot on brother! Thank you so much for this video. It's exactly where I am in my business. Documenting processes and seeing what is going to move the needle and what isn't.
Hey Anani! I'm a student of Sam's, I reached out to you via facebook in case you have any questions about the course. I'd be happy to help you out. In case you didn't get the message, this is my facebook > facebook.com/jacob.farrell2
Hi There! Sorry for the late response! I intend to get on Sam's program'by the end of June. I can see this being useful in my consultancy services for wineries in California.
Nice video as always, thank you. Can you say something about relaxing with serials games and these stuff? Every human need a rest and relax. But how much to spend on it and what kind of relaxing activities? Are games bad?
Hey Sam, could you start uploading an audio version of these on Spotify or SoundCloud so I can listen while I go on my runs? Love your stuff man, really unique guy.

Great tips. Great Video. Hey Sam! If you could see my place here in NZ on the Shore down long ROW fronting onto a Native Reserve and I have listened to umpteen of your videos whilst in the Garden listening to the Tui and other birds. Oh! I also seem to have acquired a very handsome Rooster who is my alarm clock and doesn't stop crowing until he sees I am up and moving around after I feed him. But....does it make the Boat go faster is such a good tool for making that call of...does it make the boat go faster. Simple, just required thought, honesty to self.
A question - how did you buy an apartment - I assume with a mortgage unless you brought it in cash? - in Manhattan if you are not a US citizen (or do you just rent it). How much did it cost (to rent or to buy). And do you ever get scared of the size of the overhead or the amount of capital tied up in it?! Mega personal stuff but I am nosey!
Sam, you said you read all the comments here. Not sure how you get the time to do that, but great. You asked for comment on what your customers may wish in a video. Regarding your customers who are now earning $ 5 Million each year, can you tell us where they place their money, for safety, and to generate more revenue? Every successful person needs to invest their cash somewhere (not in a bank). Toronto, Canada.
Hi Sam thanks GREAT STUFF! so I’m an awesome stylist and HAIRCUTTER in nyc.for men and women. I have my own today of haircutting shears coming out!! What should I do to set up my product knowledge and just kill it!!!??? Thanks
Great Content! The book he is referring to is called: "Will It Make the Boat Go Faster?: Olympic-Winning Strategies for Everyday Success" by Ben-Hunt Davis. Thanks Sam!
So making a Google sheet to organize my employee task is less important Tham reaching out to potential clients? My backend systems aren't set up to my liking! 😬
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Sam. I've been watching some of your videos and I haven't thanked you before. So thanks again! Will put your ideas into action. I just want to respectfully disagree on one thing... I do believe that communicating with your staff and empowering them can make the boat go faster ;)
