Super happy you’re back! Huge congrats on fatherhood 👏🏽 I was literally thinking about you today then voila an update 🥳 , I loved the past lecture style videos but the truth is this is your channel and life and life is about growth and evolution, and so I fully support this new journey, especially since you seem to be so much happier!! And also too since it’s a lot less unnecessary complexity and more simplicity and precision. Also I’d like to add that just a person you share wisdom when you communicate so whether or not there are lecture style videos we’re gonna learn a ton regardless and now not just conceptually but getting to actually see the behind the scenes and experience it with you.
Damn. Sam really is a robot. I just started laughing as there was no emotion when the video started: - I'm back -_- ... and gets right into it 🤣🤣🤣 Man's got no time to waste
How about smth like I will help with optimizing your titles/thumbnails for your next 10 youtube videos for free, think long term ;) OOOOR upload some of his youtube videos to a clone channel and work on them to show him that you actually walk the walk Just my 2 cents
@@hamzahakim9777 if you spend just 5 minutes checking his channel, you will see that he is legit. And I am pretty sure his offer is free. A good connection is often times more worth than any amount of money.
I was so excited to see a video in my feed today !!! Great story and great adventure, sensible move into the forest and congratulations on the gorgeous daughter. Love the look of Skool, a very well executed project. Just keep firing those videos Sam, but keep it easy, no more burn out. Life is for Life.
Congratulations, Sam - both on your beautiful daughter and your beautiful new platform! Very exciting stuff - firmly applaud your alignment with what feels valuable on all those levels. Life is too short and precious to do otherwise.
Great plan! Would still love to have the concepts and lectures related to what you're doing. Congrats on being a dad! Beautiful baby girl you have there 🥰
Hey Sam, love having you back. And your recent transformation. It's a great signal to the world getting more conscious as well, less is more! Gonna stay tuned in
glad to see you back, Sam! Personally, I'd want more of the lecture style videos - because they're densely packed with info and are just so valuable. I'd watch them once and it'd change my life forever. Like the 'How to make Decisions' video. Or the 'Why You Can't do the Work' video. Especially the 'How Billionaires Think' video. I watch that pretty much once every quarter and my brain always digs out new golden nuggets. While it'd make sense to remove it as you're not targeting beginners anymore, I think we'd all really appreciate it if you'd share what you learned in your future videos!
Thank you for including us on your life journey! I'm happy to be part of your RU-vid family and I am still an Accelerator member so I appreciate you including it in your Skool platform. Great things ahead!!! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more of you and from you! I value your mentorship and training! You are a genius, a visionary and an amazing, unique individual!!! Keep doing You and raising that beautiful family of yours!! I hope you share more scenic views from your adventures!!!! As a mobile photographer, the images excite me!!! They are breathtaking!! I can't wait to start traveling the world and seeing all the beauty that exists!!
Hey sam! Ive been watching you since I was about 15, Im 17 now, still in highschool, I was recommended to you by Alex Becker, I love your concepts and and lectures, it really opened my perspective, youve helped me learn and grow so much! I hope you continue to do lectures and how to do life. Thanks again.
Welcome back Sam...love what you are building with Skool 🙏 Are course materials/videos hosted on the Skool platform or 3rd party?....and maybe a future video on why you chose to use react over vue 😂
Awesome, Sam. Congrats to you and I'm excited to check out and try Skool. It has seemed like Kajabi never really reached its potential. Thanks for keeping Skool clean-looking and not overwhelming or confusing. Love it. I like the idea of your new content on RU-vid. Your content on optimizing time and life in the past was inspirational. Glad you found a good balance for yourself. I look forward to hearing more in upcoming videos. PS: The baby is adorable. Very happy for you both.
Hey Sam glad you’re back, your plan sounds amazing the only thing I’d say is that I really loved yourlectures about business, life, focus, etc so would be great that you didn’t completely stop doing those and kept sharing some of your strategies and learnings when you feel it. Cheers!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO! Congrats on the daughter, Sam! Love the idea of treating YT as a sort of diary - I'm definitely looking forward to coming along for the ride
congratulations on the baby, your awesome adventures and skool, its great to have you back! i m looking forward to seeing what you have in store for your youtube channel
Man, stripping down to the essentials is what it's all about, and maybe the hardest. It creeps up on us as we grow older and we learn more, we end up confused and dazzled with so much stuff. It feels like a breath of fresh air when you get back to basics. Skool looks really cool! The house in the forest and your activities are a dream! Congratulations for your beautiful family!
Congratulations to you and Ashley on the birth of your daughter!!! Don’t leave out the marketing and business concepts altogether. If you can blend them in as you diarise that would be great
Hi Sam! Welcome Back and Big Congratulations to You & Family for your Bundle of Great Joy! Wow the New Business..Good Change..All the Best in your new journey!
Welcome back Sam! Congrats to your new life, listening to your needs and having the courage to make the changes. No more Facebook advertising? I'm looking forward to continuing to follow your journey and seeing your client acquisition success via RU-vid....and continuing to learn from you. I may be using skool in the future. 🙂
Congratulations to you both on becoming parents :) I love it that you've stayed tuned in with what you're aligned with & acted on it. RU-vid channel plan sounds good. I like the look of Skool for hosting my own courses. I'll look forward to growing with this community.
Sam, congratulations with your daughter and family. You are a breeze of fresh air and thought! Thank you for the inspiration, honesty and super transparency.
So stoked you are back! I discovered your channel while you were gone, and I love the new direction. Looking forward to you sharing how you “balance” family life and work life.
Congratulations Marco!!!!! Time to get creative and wake up in the morning and do what YOU love instead of what everyone else loves you to do for them. 😉 Bless you.
Hey Sam. I'm in Uplevel and the program made a huge difference in my info product business. Thank you! Just wanted to say that as much as I appreciate your business content, I would LOVE to watch videos on your reflections on being a parent. Your perspective as you go through that journey would be absolutely incredible. Really looking forward to the new direction!
Welcome Back Sam !! Yeah love the plan, we need to follow the inside and from there we can structure our own path so I agree 100%... Also I think It would be great to know what you did from baby steps to nowdays just to give us a better understanding of how actually growing an educational business works ! Take care
Sam, words can't describe how I appreciate your content. I am very happy that you successfully downsized your company while increasing profits and that you leveled up your family game too! However, I am not sure that turning this channel into diary is a good idea. Your mindset, principles, frameworks, etc is what changed me. You fix our mentality and highlight the important things. For many of us you serve as a remote mentor. I am deeply interested in your knowledge, decision making process, philosophy if you may. I vote for this channel to remain as educational and invaluable to young entrepreneurs as it has been. RU-vid and other SNs have more than enough diaries, vlogs, useless entertaining content, that when I encounter indeed valuable content as yours I am ready to support it even financially with donations. I mean, I am ok if you occasionally post videos like that to describe what is going on. But don't substitute the current theme of your channel with that kind of stuff. Thank you!
I think that it would be of immense value to watch the man act in real life rather than just repeat concepts, I love the idea of the diary. I don’t think you can milk the same information forever, it’s not like it’s going to be deleted! (I hope not!!)
Agree with all the posts above. BUT. Sam did say he wasn't enjoying the way he was doing his videos before... I'm curious to see what's in store and I'm sure we can still learn a lot. Instead of learning in a lecture format, we can learn directly from the way the man lives his life and makes his decisions
It does specifically say "Less" lectures, meaning there's still gonna be lectures just not the main focus which is potentially even better as he will probably go all-in when he makes them
It is interesting how a creator based business has problems with scaling beyond a certain point. Having $5m revenue per year and scaling it to $30m per year changes all the metrics, costs shoot up and efficiency goes down. However, I also feel that the conversions coming from not having to advertise so much nowadays might be an effect of having advertised a lot before - which makes your name a household brand. I strongly believe that I wouldn't be in Quantum if not for Consulting Accelerator. And 2 years back, I wouldn't have joined anything for more than $2k.
Although I'm sure you know there are many people who handily scale past 30mm per year by replacing themselves with A players, I truly admire that it's not all about the money for you and that your priorities of being there for your family and sticking to your guns by doing what you love. This video was a breath of fresh air brother!
hey I think all of us would love to have these mindset trainings.. they do not need to be that intense as they used to (since you also said you got burned out). Just your thoughts on different things going on, some things we should keep in mind and etc. good to have you back!
I know you won't believe me but this thought just crossed my mind "Let me go to Sam's channel to see if he uploaded any new videos". 22 minutes ago "I'm back" video plays :D
Great video - sounds like the past 2 years have been wonderful for you. Congratulations on your daughter and becoming a father. Glad to see you again and looking forward to your new content and courses.
Hi Sam, I like your plan. Actually, what a crazy story! I love how you were not afraid and highly scaled down which eventually payed off very well. You found a lot of free time for your wife and your daughter while still keeping high rolling business and growing another one. You are true inspiration!
I’ve loved your content and it’s helped me grow so much in the recent months. Honestly never thought you would be back but I can’t wait to learn from and observe your new journey. Love the ideas by the way I hope this is the game changer for all of the influencers out there.
Great news. Welcome back. Congratulations. Your future plan for RU-vid is perfect. Please don't delete any of the existing youtube videos though. They are all very helpful and I came across them at the right time and this will happen with others as well. Thank you for all the knowledge you share.
I missed you! Always insightful because from the way you rethink your things I have ideas about how to rethink mine! And it's good to see how everything evolves behind the scenes, how you think about things, it's interesting!
Absolutely looking forward to it! Skool seems like the perfect answer to a lot of people's issues when it comes to mixing courses + community + trainings. Signed up already!
A nice and easy, I like your plan brother! Good stuff. Looks like you had some mean fun back in NZ whilst you were here. Look forward to tuning in next week 💯
Thanks for bringing us up to speed on what you've been doing. I found the video genuine and engaging. The entrepreneurial spirit will always find a way and your continued progress is inspiring. Skool looks interesting and I look forward to finding out more.
I'm very excited! It's incredibly inspiring to see you figure out everything that's important to you, I can't think of any other way to describe it other than it's beautiful! Thank you for sharing, this video has made me realize just how much I have to figure out for myself.
I applaud 👏 you for following your heart and NOT just the numbers. Simplicity goes a long way. Glad to hear that you found a edge. This video extremely insightful. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on having a baby!!! Thank you for coming back and sharing your knowledge with us. Skool sounds cool 😎 courses and teaching are very important impact to change the world for better 🙏
Glad you’re back and seems like you landed in a great spot. Thanks for the honesty on where you were at. People want to follow people who show integrity, not gurus. I like your plan! Do it! Got to get me one of those dirt bikes!
I'm so glad I jsut realised I didn't have notifications on for this channel. Now you're back I won't miss a thing! Can't wait for some really great content
