Not very good advice. Within five minutes of viewing this video, my house burnt down. Not very cash money of you. You claim to help build businesses but it looks like this Oven has burnt down the house.
BASIC MUSTS: • Have a routine • Do visualization • Get good sleep, it's not worth screwing your hormones and working against it (at least 7-8 hour sleep) • Don't multitask (EX: don't eat and work at the same time, just focus on eating) • Exercise (Sam's favorite is high intensity bicycle training, 4 minutes on, 2 minutes off, because it trains you to keep going when pain is present. It's mental toughness: you have the option to stop when there's pain, but you keep going) • Stay hydrated (Sam drinks Lacroix Sparkling Water, as well as one cup of coffee a day) Don't worry about having to use restroom often, because small breaks are good. • Don't travel all the time • Have less variables so your lifestyle is simple • Optimize your environment • Eat good food • Don't drink alcohol • Do something that's the best option, if you've invested a lot of time and money into writing a book but don't think it takes top priority (let's say Facebook ads being higher) then don't continue it. ○ -In other words, be really disciplined with your prioritization • If you have trouble filling your wife/husband in your business, then it's not for them. Let them do their own thing, let them start their own business, etc. • Don't bother looking at the comments of your ads A good ad will have a high relevance (9 or 10), with 50% positive and 50% negative comments Sam's routine: 6:50 wake up 7:00 Gym 8:00 Shower and breakfast (smoothie that has protein powder, banana, etc.) 8:30 Meditation 9:00 Start work (prepared) 12:30 Lunch 1:00 Work 3:30 Smoothie 7:00 Dinner 9:00 Plan tomorrow 9:30 Shower & relax (google "sleep hygiene" 11:00 Sleep Don't look for distractions, only do it when you have to. Sore foot? Distraction, it will go away. Make hair-cutters go to you Make doctors go to you Hire cleaner if you make 50 grand Hire chef PRODUCT LIST: • Get an Oura Ring (measures your sleep and how good it is, Apple Watch isn't effective at all) • Use an Ethernet Cable • Use incense to improve environment • Don't replace a laptop/computer with an iPad • Get Chrome extension called KillNewsFeed (disables News Feed on FaceBook so that you can't get distracted) • Get app on Chrome called HideRecommendations (gets rid of recommended videos on RU-vid so you can't see them on Home Page or on the side of videos) • Get f.lux (makes screen yellow at night so you can get better sleep) • Get Momentum (removes commonly visited sites so that you're not tempted to click on them) • Optional: get RescueTime (Sam barely uses it though) • Recommendation: Figure out a way to loop Instagram Stories, make 30 of them and loop them every month. • Delete all social media apps off your phone • Get a Community Manager to deal with student's questions in the groups on FaceBook. If you've just started, then chunk the time. Do it once every other day at 6 o' clock for an hour (just a recommendation) ○ Get a community manager when it hurts • If you're making a video on your phone, don't upload it on the FaceBook app on your phone. Plug your phone to your computer (not the cloud) with USB cable, then upload video straight to FaceBook. For environment hacking: • Things that make your environment good is good view and natural light. • GET RID OF FLUORESCENT LIGHT. Especially fluorescent white light. Fluorescent lights flicker and makes your nervous system start panicking, saving power isn't worth it. It has to be an incandescent light • Plants are good • Animals are really good. (such as a parrot next to your desk) A housemate will clean any potential mess. If you have to get a dog, get one that doesn't have to be walked. Cats don't have to be walked • Comfortable desk • Comfortable chair • Good temperature, be warm • Hire a cleaner - twice a week is optimal
Martin Zemánek, you’re welcome! However, I would highly advise against ever buying LaCroix, because the carbonation erodes your enamel, especially if you drink it as regularly as Sam does (6 cans a DAY). It also makes you feel hungrier In his 8 Things vid, he recommends Quest Bars as a replacement for unhealthy snacks. Well, Quest Bars are unhealthy too, because it’s a processed food product containing artificial sweeteners.
Made 16-17k in the span of a few months by applying the basic principles in Sam's videos. These lectures are worth a minimum of a couple k each and they're out there for free. Just wanna say thanks Sam.
This is the stuff that makes you a lot of money and allows you to have impact. It’s not sexy but it’s a truth. Being productive, eliminating distractions, streamlining your day. Thanks Sam !! I wish I found out about you sooner. What you preach is nothing short of life changing.
Been working hard on my daily routine trying to balance fitness, songwriting, and growing my small business. My biggest challenge is probably my bedtime, because my business schedule changes daily depending on my office appointment calendar, and I seem to be most creative for music in the late night, so then I stay up too late, have an irregular bedtime, and wake up either groggy or late the next day to start again. On the other hand, I've been really consistent with some key routines for the past few months, and it feels great. I have a good stretch, workout and 2.5 mile run first thing after getting up, then focus on studying songwriting and lyrics, then catch up on business including emails and my current project for expansion. After that I usually have my appointments at my office starting in the early afternoon (which includes a commute, but that's a chance to enjoy riding my motorcycle). I get back home around 9:45 pm, make dinner, then use my remaining time before sleep for songwriting - although I commonly get distracted and waste a lot of time at this point, while still being a little productive. Some of my best songs have been written while blending focused work with distraction (like a movie in the background, stretches of gaming to interrupt the songwriting, etc). If I get into a creative flow on music, I'll sometimes stay awake until 3 AM or later. So you can see how this creates problems for the next day. I'm still trying to optimize, but I'm doing better than I was this time last year...
Remote God Do you think song writing requires focused attention during the concept of an initial new idea ? or is only emotional though required at this stage , which requires less effort.
If you need help managing your time better, hit me up. I can help you and I'm happy to share the knowledge I learned thru trial and error over the years. I'll give u a free consultation and if you like it we can work out a monthly membership plan where I will be your accountability partner and coach you through the process. Let me know.
Sam is totally my kind of person in terms of how this thinking resonates with me. I really thought that I'm weird but I hate so many people who waste my time, people who are extremely distracted and inefficient and want to pull me in their nonsense. I'm extremely far from being super-productive but ultimately that's my goal, for sure. Thanks for the video, very eye-opening.
Sam's mannerism could be a result of his "one thing at a time" training. He seems to take his time on every sentence. When he looks into space he takes quality time too. this could the secret to 12 hour work day and productivity
@@OldGuyRantsmy mom is the same way, they have a scientific type of brain so they’re constantly thinking about and refining what they want to say and how to say it in a way that makes sense
My grandad still runs his business in his late 80's. He's always lived by the "one thing at a time" mentality. He also says to never think you're the headmaster who knows everything, always be the student who has more to learn.
@@kingaaleksandra8239 You need to go through 2 of his programs first, to be in the Quantum mastermind. First one is - Consulting accelerator (most people do 6 figures in this program), second one is - Uplevel Consulting (most people do 7 figures in this program), third one is - Quantum Mastermind (most people in this program do at least 8 figures).
BEST MOMENT OF THE VIDEO: Updated 2024 >> When Alex Becker was a G and was the 1st person to say something that Sam resonated with + thought, " Oh yeah yeah yeah we should do that in our business!" Great stuff guys!!
He gets it. You don’t have to be a robot like Sam but listen to what he is saying. Then listen again to understand. Multitasking is a myth. Promote on social media, don’t use social media. Regulate your internal clock. Have a miracle morning where you start your routine. Key to getting up on time is going to bed on time. Don’t react to things. Create rules and procedures around when and what you do each. Plan tomorrow today. Regulate your insulin and hormone levels through diet. This is all great proven stuff. I’m glad I watched this. I needed a reminder of all these principles.
*Simply doing a time audit can radically transform your productivity* There's a huge difference between being busy and being productive. Sometimes its the simplest of things that make the biggest difference in your life and business. Loved this
Bro, you look so intense. its funny as shit, as calm as you are socially, behind your eyes is is such intensity like you just stared that dude down 6:07 and you didnt even blink once hahaha.
JohanRickardt_yt perhaps one of the biggest things I’ve learnt about entrepreneurship is that there are many ways to make it and all can be right if executed well. But each way has constraints, some are tighter than others and require previous experiences (eg, good in sales etc) or personality traits to make it happen. There are only a few golden rules. Sam’s system//ideology seems to be one of stacking the deck to work in your favour and of all methodology’s I’ve seen so far I’d say it’s the most practical but there’s still loads of utility in Gary’s teachings >if done right
This is great Sam, I am adapting all of these habits into my life. I like the 'get used to completing things' part its very true. We can't multi task such as eating while working, thats bullshit. Do one thing and finish it. Eat and focus on eating. Then work and focus on work.
Very valuable lessons, but I can't help to almost see him a bit as a robot. Not only because of his schedule, but also the way he looks/stands. Maybe it's just insane focus, but somehow it seems overly mechanical in a way. Does he have fun? Edit: just realized that my comment is more a projection of the concerns I have about my own life. Because I actually do most of the things Sam does too, and I’m always thinking in terms of what can save time and how can I work more efficiently. Well this was a good talk with myself 😂
It honestly sounds like a horrible life to me. Optimize optimize optimize work work work work repeat. There's gotta be a middle ground to allow time for friends, family, nature, music and fun while still creating a moderately successful business. I'd happily settle for $200,000-300,000 a year (probably even less) if it allowed for a more balanced life. I guess this level of entrepreneurship really isn't for everyone.
Yep, the discerning difference in my business, was going from looking for reasons to distracted, to completely ignoring distractions, my family hate it, but love the cash coming in.
It's very hard to look fit with a build like that (his frame and bone structure) + I don't think he really focuses on the physique, just well being and cardio
You don‘t need to be lean to be healthy .. also chad said it alrdy his hips are bright and his shoulder width is bad compared to his hips .. thats what people mean with bad and good genetics.. he would be a shity bodybuilder 😂
I saw your video only for couple minutes, but I have a feeling all this is growing over your head. This can not be long term sustainable, making more money is not the most important, enjoy the life a little more! It is very interesting to me to observe this kind of lifestyle and how far it can go. Do not forget you are still a human ;)
Cent believe we get to be a fly on the wall for this conversation. « One of the reason we like our parents is because they served us lots of Impressions - Sam » LOL
thank you for this content this is great. I've been trying to optimize my time as much as i can so i can have as much time as possible to run my company and reach my goals. taking care of my health has helped huge. now i have more energy etc to tend to my customers.
14:24 - 14:26 dude i love that... seriously big respect on that! u have new big fan and follower. clear directions! smooth drive thru this mess of life.
Would like to know if Sam has tried intermittent fasting. I would bet it would get him more in shape and have more energy. I wish he would at least try it to see and give his feedback.
Your youtube content is absolutely phenomenal. It has, honestly, the most helpful ideas I've ever received. Also, do you not blink because it's inefficient? haha either way I admire your focus
Sam The info is good But just looking at you it is clear the Gym and the Diet are not working You look ok But that is not an hour in the Gym everyday and good Diet body for a man your age
Sam Owens is fire! 2 Things I would offer as a suggestion though: P90X3 is 30 minutes/day, done from home, fairly cheap to set up, and hits all aspects of fitness for a healthy, functional body. Every business person should do this to maximize results/hour. Headspace is an amazing meditation app. It's not a distraction with fluff like most apps. It has been immensely helpful to understand how to squeeze the most juice out of a meditation practice, and apply that same focus to your every day life in a way that is sustainable.
Sam says that using an app for meditation defeats the purpose of meditation, which is doing nothing. I'm open minded to trying Headspace but I'm inclined to agree with Sam.
Good perception. That's what I think and love it as it always reminds me of one of favorite movies; A Clockwork Orange (Adults only). You can slot Sam's intro anywhere in the movie and it would work. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HI-mDTdeKR8.html Now back to this great content...
I don't get it, most of the time people were asking stupid questions... "What is in your smoothie?" "What happens if theres something you HAVE to do, can I break the routine then" LOL no hate here but these are all things you should be able to figure out by yourself or in the information thats repeated 10x over on RU-vid.
Thanks for spelling out exactly what to do Sam. I am going to try to adopt your routine for a while. hmu if you ever need someone to film your events for free. would love to help you distribute more content.
Brilliant Stuff... Can you answer this question for me... How can you stay focused and self disciplined on a bad day at work or when you don't feel like doing it or it loses a sense of meaning / purpose to you?
Sam Ovens is a trip. Killer content. Do you ever talk more about the ‘work’ ? Slides, videos of like self improvement? Any part of business a client needs?
Wait, it's supposed to be high-level "Quantum Mastermind group" but one girl in the audience "works" on her ipad and another guy doesn't even track his ads metrics and results ? How did these people even get in ?! It's a little bit worrying...
