Hey Sam I'm really glad you touched upon having a job and a business. Wouldn't this vary on the individual as some of your students started their business while working full-time jobs?
What I like most about these videos is their honesty. There is no fancy intro or outtro, no fancy music, no fancy editing, no ads, no bullshit. But there is CONTENT.
I just learned of you today. Wow, I’ve been listening to the wrong people. I got more from this one video than 2 years of “guru” courses that always say, “Don’t worry about the ‘how’ just start.” Well, I always knew 02/24 was when I’d be ready, and I am. All I’m saying is I had 2 years to put good stuff in my brain while I needed to wait. I heard a lot of good things during that time, but this video is gold.
1. You are where you are because of you. You are responsible for you. 2. Business is about Solving Problems. Its not about some bright new idea. Find out pain points in your industry & pick one & that becomes your niche 3. If Entrepreneurship is your goal, you don’t need formal college degrees. An abstraction can never be as good as simulating reality like Reality can 4. Go all in or go all out. Real good progress requires your full attention. Quit your Day Job if you need to. 5. Lions don’t care about sheep’s opinions. Take advice only from doers, not talkers. 6. Cashflow first, Long term Thinking next. 7. When lost or confused, focus on the customer & what’s best for them. 8. Stay lean & frugal. Invest back into the business to run the machine better. 9. Focus is a superpower. Double down on it. Focus & constantly improve your business

I was a life insurance agent man and the snake got me man, I’m 19 so I got more time to recover but just image if I haven’t got caught by that snake earlier…thank you for these tips man
1. Where you are in life right now is nobodies doing but your own. You are solely responsible. 2. Business is all about solving problems. Don’t come up with ideas, look for problems. 3. If you want to start a business you don’t need to go to university. 4. Starting a business while working a 9-5 job is near impossible. Go all in or get all out. 5. Lions don’t care about the opinions of sheep. Popularity and opinions are false positives/negatives. Ignore them. 6. When you first start in business, cashflow should be your #1 goal. When you have cashflow, start thinking long-term. 7. When you’re lost and confused, focus on the customer and what’s best for them, everything else will follow. 8. Stay lean and frugal: If you buy things you don’t need, soon you will have to sell things you do need. Be an emperor with clothes. 9. Focus is a superpower: Keep the main thing the main thing. If you don’t sacrifice for your goal, your goal will become the sacrifice.
I am a 21 years entrpreneur and glad I know these things at 21, already following some of those but got lots of new wisdom to implement. LOVE YOU SAM...CHANGED MY MINDSET.
Hey Sam, I have been feeling overwhelmed by all the different information available (Free and paid) and honestly a lot of great advice out there is focused on building the long term business but that can't happen if you don't get the short term (The main thing) going smoothly. Here I was sacrificing client work to write content or learn how to film youtube videos or build a new lead gen funnel, when in the end it all comes down to helping your customers in the best way you can. Thanks for bringing me back to the basics!
THANK YOU. You are the personification of a better, successful version of myself because some of the ideas you so succinctly crystallized have been bouncing around my head for years but have never really manifested into words till I watched you say them. The rest are brand new ideas that only true experience brings. So thank you. Today I have found not just a mentor, but my mentor, I have found a great light, a massive beacon of hope (one that radiates the way for me and more than that you communicate knowledge that is framed in a way that resonates with me) . Thank you
Got about half way through this video and hit pause. I have, or should say had, 4 piles and large storage bins of notes and pads of paper and DVDs and CDs dating back to 2005 when I started marketing online. I went through them and threw out about 97% of it. Kept what I could use moving forward and filed it accordingly. On my way to bringing my product to the market with focus. Thanks Sam!
This really helped. I am attempting to make a living from my Art & Writing. My goal definitely isn't being a millionaire. I am thinking something small scale just to escape the 9-5 box, but those videos definitely help keep me on track each time I forget how to focus. Thanks Sam! Best wishes to you and your family.
if you want to escape the 9-5 box, you should aim to become at least a millionaire. on this side of the economic system, making a million dollars is relatively normal. From what I've seen, most people work a job, of those people, most people that go into business for themselves don't make it beyond $100k. Then from those, most people that do make it past $100k are millionaires (at least)
I just learned of you today. Wow, I’ve been listening to the wrong people. I got more from this one video than 2 years of “guru” courses that always say, “Don’t worry about the ‘how’ just start.” Well, I always knew 02/24 was when I’d be ready, and I am. All I’m saying is I had 2 years to put good stuff in my brain while I needed to wait. I heard a lot of good things during that time, but this video is gold.
There's no anyone doing it more real than you, thats why you have success. Get money helping people for real, no bs, and realising high quality free content.
Scripture tells us that we can manifest our own realities, one common theme about Jesus, is he always preached faith to his apostles, and that with faith we can do the impossible. Also some religious countries may be poor, but they are statistically happier, and their suicide and depression rates aren't through the roof like the west.
Sam you are a 100% right I’m Nigerian we’re no where near the poorest but with a population of over 200 million people are very religious but I’m grateful I live a bit above average life and yeah many people believe they must suffer on earth and I just wish they would Change their mindset. I’m 16 rn and I believe no I know I am destined to change as many lives as I can in Africa. Please remember he name John Gbenga Babington. I will break the odds
One of the most valuable and insightful videos I've watched in a while (and trust me I've watched a LOT of useless crap). Definitely going to rewatch this and take notes, I'm an 18 year old entrepreneur and I've noticed a lot of these thinking patterns and problems appear in my own life. Will definitely try and curb them early!
Great info! Love your metaphors because it makes your points so crystal clear. You just keep on giving Sam! You're way wiser than any 29 year old I've ever seen. Thanks!
So far you're The most intelligent person I've ever learned from in life because of your comprehensive, accurate understanding of how reality & business works. You know it very well. I've been researching this sort of stuff over the last 5 years and haven't really came across another video as truthful as this one is; other people's videos on these types of subjects are so fraught with woo I can hardly stand it and I think a lot of people could attest to that lol.. Anyhow, I'm 20 years old right now and find your videos extremely helpful, so thanks @Sam Ovens for giving away such crucial information!
Sam Ovens is Nr 1 guy in consulting business and truth telling about the value of creating products and doing business. I am 42 and I wished I would have heard all this stuff earlier in my life. Triple AAA, still enjoying - great job Sam
Agree with all those Sam. I would add one extra......the importance on health, wellness and fitness. You could have all the money and success in the world but if you don't have these........what is the point?!?!?!?!
Many people say that they’ll “sleep when they’re dead”, but with that mentality you might not have to wait that long. Eat healthy, sleep properly and be a little active each day. Doing these three simple things will drastically improve quality and length of life. The longer you live and the less issues you have to deal with, the more opportunity for success you’ll get.
Sam ovens showing that the only way to get people to truly trust you and buy your program is through truthful and actually helpful information. Love it, but shows that it isn't as easy to get people's trust as it used to be.
Unfortunately I was out on my own since I was 14. Now I’m 22 and something changed when I was 20. I stopped dating and I moved into my parents house. I haven’t had motivation to work. And overall it seems depressing from the outside. But I’ve never been happier. I don’t hangout with friends. I just spend time at home and with the family. Every few months something intriguing happens. But for the most part you’d see no reason for my happiness to get better. However; here’s the change Being isolated has taught me a lot. It’s given me a sense of independence, as silly as that sounds. It’s taught me to educate on my own, think on my own, progress on my own. And MOST importantly, it’s shown me how to not care what people think about me. It feels like a blessing in disguise having “hit rock bottom”. My biggest issue growing up was other people’s opinions of me. I’ve always prided myself on my intelligence and kindness. And as nice as that sounds, I still struggled with people perception and opinions. I tried the “fake it til you make it” approach. And failed, partially. But learned in the process. What I learned is that; the REAL you is who you want to be. Even if you don’t see value in yourself. The most progress I’ve seen this past year and a half was my personal interests. I’ve invested money into music equipment. I’ve researched everyday different “Wantrepreneur” methods of creating income flow. (As of now I haven’t jumped on any of them) but I have created at least a low-quality foundation for my future. I now know who I am I know who I care about I know who I want to help with my success Identifying who you are and what will make you happy is the biggest step. I’m starting to think this is a needless description of my mediocre life. But hopefully some people can relate with my point in life. Hateful comments appreciated Helpful comments always welcomed Much love guys, And credits to Sam Ovens for making me want to write this out Enjoy your time on your own guys Don’t lose focus by not knowing what to focus on Figure out yourself slowly but surely , and solidify your core moral principles Good luck guys
Glad to hear that you are growing in thought and coming to these realizations. I can relate with your situation and my only words of encouragement to you are to "do" just as much as you "think". It's easy to get caught in analysis paralysis and, as Sam mentions, there is no teacher like real life experience. Pursue everything you are passionate about and fail often. Failure is the best teacher.
Unadulterated, no fluff, straight to the point. I resonate with your content as it is clear with no gimmicks. I also appreciate that you refer to existing billionaires in regards to your concepts. Keep it coming!
Though I like Sam and his advice, "maxing out your 20s" in the style of him or Gary Vee will for most people, you very probably included, result in severely bad thoughts in old age. In his video on discipline he basically gives the advice to sacrifice everything for the cause and well, it sounds good. But for what purpose will you have that business then? Maxing out your 20s is total efficiency in Sams sense in these videos, which in general might not be a "maxing out" for you. Sadly.
So much truth. This knowledge will go over most people’s heads. These are things that are best experienced to fully understand. Being an entrepreneur requires a totally different mindset then what you’ve been conditioned to know.
BEST single Piece of frecken advice I could have gotten this year of 2019!!. That's it , I'm quitting uni.. I hate every min of it , and just went thru it bc of my parents.
Thanks for the Video on Track Man coming 24 been doing this for a Year and what got me in this was being unsure about getting a Job again I left uni when I knew I could build a business online, and TBA I always did want too... The Most valuable part of this for me was to Focus on Short Term instead of the Long term and Get the Cash Flow Going! I was fully committed but playing long-term I going out of the house and down the town to solve some Fast Problems! :) PEACE!
The 9 things- 1 Wherever you are in life right now, it’s all your responsibility. You have control over your fate. 2 Business is all about solving problems. You don’t need ideas, you need problems. 3 You don’t need to go university, if you want to be an entrepreneur. 4 You need to be All-in your business. Stop managing jobs, biz, etc 5 Stop giving a f of other people’s opinions. Non entrepreneur advice is useless. You are not a civilian anymore. 6 In start,cash flow is the number 1 priority. Cash flow is your oxygen. 7 When you’re lost and confused, focus on customer satisfaction and what’s best for them. 8 Stay lean and frugal. Don’t fall for lifestyle creep. 9 Keep your main thing the main thing. Keep making your product better. Focus.
I really love this Sam, just had to say that one more time. So much excellent advice. Sacrifice, focus and commitment. Words rarely heard or acted upon nowadays.
Just found you , your advice is awesome and you are only 29!! Wise beyond years. And you say it in such a matter of fact manner. Thanks for all this advice. I will be checking out your website soon.
Sam, thanks for this great video. All the points are helpful but the one that really stands out for me is that Business is solving problems. I also like the basic formula that you shares around this main point. Thanks
Hey @Sam Ovens i´m from Germany and 25 years Old and this Video is so amazing, I learned so much, I write 1 one and a half page while the Video, you are amazing Person
Were these 9 lessons helpful? Let me know what you think here in the comments...?
Sam Lannister
After seeing your details and I am kind the confused should be doctor or entrepreneurs
Sam Ovens how should we pay our bills if quite or 9-5 until we succeed?
Thank you so much! You dropped some good value
Hey Sam I'm really glad you touched upon having a job and a business. Wouldn't this vary on the individual as some of your students started their business while working full-time jobs?
What I like most about these videos is their honesty. There is no fancy intro or outtro, no fancy music, no fancy editing, no ads, no bullshit. But there is CONTENT.
Haha I hate when they have these dumb intros with their lifestyle and other crap. i’m just get to the point maaaan haha nobody cares lol
MrAstrojensen that’s good old Sammy Ovens for ya!
How to beast does that a lot :/
Hear, Hear!

January 26, 2024 and this is still just absolute gold. The truth never goes out of style. Thanks Sam!
1. You are where you are because of you. You are responsible for you.
2. Business is about Solving Problems. Its not about some bright new idea. Find out pain points in your industry & pick one & that becomes your niche
3. If Entrepreneurship is your goal, you don’t need formal college degrees. An abstraction can never be as good as simulating reality like Reality can
4. Go all in or go all out. Real good progress requires your full attention. Quit your Day Job if you need to.
5. Lions don’t care about sheep’s opinions. Take advice only from doers, not talkers.
6. Cashflow first, Long term Thinking next.
7. When lost or confused, focus on the customer & what’s best for them.
8. Stay lean & frugal. Invest back into the business to run the machine better.
9. Focus is a superpower. Double down on it. Focus & constantly improve your business

I really love how you are giving advices for free, when others are selling it. keep the hard work 💙
Selling* (;
Nothing is for free. You will pay for it one way or another. Law of the universe.
That's what people with actual businesses & know how to get money do!
The others are grifters.
1. Where you are in life right now is nobodies doing but your own. You are solely responsible.
2. Business is all about solving problems. Don’t come up with ideas, look for problems.
3. If you want to start a business you don’t need to go to university.
4. Starting a business while working a 9-5 job is near impossible. Go all in or get all out.

Found myself going back to your old vids man! Looking forward for updated ones!
I am a 21 years entrpreneur and glad I know these things at 21, already following some of those but got lots of new wisdom to implement. LOVE YOU SAM...CHANGED MY MINDSET.
Same here man! How’s the progress?
This Video needs to be framed on the wall.

If you look closely at the reflection of Sam Ovens back of head, you can see his control panel with the on and off switch.
LMAOOO
But you can never turn it off
LOL - nice one :)
Wtf dan 😅 funny but disrespectful
You see a robot. I see a woke man
I'm 20. Thanks for this video.
You are the most honest and transparent person talking about business in the entire TH-cam. Kudos to you Sam.
Hey Sam, I have been feeling overwhelmed by all the different information available (Free and paid) and honestly a lot of great advice out there is focused on building the long term business but that can't happen if you don't get the short term (The main thing) going smoothly.

Reading your comment was so poetic and inspiring. Hope things are going well for you brother
I'm 21 and this is the most valuable video I've ever seen
How are you doing?
Got about half way through this video and hit pause. I have, or should say had, 4 piles and large storage bins of notes and pads of paper and DVDs and CDs dating back to 2005 when I started marketing online. I went through them and threw out about 97% of it. Kept what I could use moving forward and filed it accordingly. On my way to bringing my product to the market with focus. Thanks Sam!
business is about solving problems
thanks for sharing all those lessons!

I am thinking something small scale just to escape the 9-5 box, but those videos definitely help keep me on track each time I forget how to focus. Thanks Sam! Best wishes to you and your family.

NO ONE, not a single person was able to explain Entrepreneurship so clearly. Fucking Amazing, thank you!
You helped me out of a snowstorm.
As a 20 year old consultant, I appreciate this content. Thanks Sam.
Haha. I see what you did here
"If you don't sacrifice for your goal, your goal will become the sacrifice."
Woah.
I just learned of you today. Wow, I’ve been listening to the wrong people. I got more from this one video than 2 years of “guru” courses that always say, “Don’t worry about the ‘how’ just start.” Well, I always knew 02/24 was when I’d be ready, and I am. All I’m saying is I had 2 years to put good stuff in my brain while I needed to wait. I heard a lot of good things during that time, but this video is gold.
110% agree with you Sam, Great useful stuff
This is a helpful video. Thank Sam, from a guy under 20.

Scripture tells us that we can manifest our own realities, one common theme about Jesus, is he always preached faith to his apostles, and that with faith we can do the impossible. Also some religious countries may be poor, but they are statistically happier, and their suicide and depression rates aren't through the roof like the west.
Sam you are a 100% right I’m Nigerian we’re no where near the poorest but with a population of over 200 million people are very religious but I’m grateful I live a bit above average life and yeah many people believe they must suffer on earth and I just wish they would Change their mindset. I’m 16 rn and I believe no I know I am destined to change as many lives as I can in Africa. Please remember he name John Gbenga Babington. I will break the odds

@@lextor4712 thank you so much
How's it going?
This video has 150k views and should have millions. Perfect lessons whatever age you might be 🤯🙏 Thank you sir!
Thank you so much. Youre helping me a lot.
One of the most valuable and insightful videos I've watched in a while (and trust me I've watched a LOT of useless crap).
Definitely going to rewatch this and take notes, I'm an 18 year old entrepreneur and I've noticed a lot of these thinking patterns and problems appear in my own life. Will definitely try and curb them early!
how is it going for you?
This was refreshing thank you
Great info! Love your metaphors because it makes your points so crystal clear. You just keep on giving Sam! You're way wiser than any 29 year old I've ever seen. Thanks!
Thank you Sam. Just thank you
no comment , no words, Thanks Sam for posted video!
This is the best video, that I’ve seen !!
So much wisdom here. Really glad I’m watching this.
So far you're The most intelligent person I've ever learned from in life because of your comprehensive, accurate understanding of how reality & business works. You know it very well. I've been researching this sort of stuff over the last 5 years and haven't really came across another video as truthful as this one is; other people's videos on these types of subjects are so fraught with woo I can hardly stand it and I think a lot of people could attest to that lol.. Anyhow, I'm 20 years old right now and find your videos extremely helpful, so thanks @Sam Ovens for giving away such crucial information!
💯
Sam Ovens is Nr 1 guy in consulting business and truth telling about the value of creating products and doing business. I am 42 and I wished I would have heard all this stuff earlier in my life. Triple AAA, still enjoying - great job Sam
Thank you so much, Sam, you just gave me time.
The honesty in this video is brutal✅
You should teach at university and kick those crooks out
I always come back to your videos when I feel lost. Thank you Sam!
Agree with all those Sam. I would add one extra......the importance on health, wellness and fitness. You could have all the money and success in the world but if you don't have these........what is the point?!?!?!?!
Many people say that they’ll “sleep when they’re dead”, but with that mentality you might not have to wait that long. Eat healthy, sleep properly and be a little active each day. Doing these three simple things will drastically improve quality and length of life. The longer you live and the less issues you have to deal with, the more opportunity for success you’ll get.
I completely agree
I agree 👍🏻
Don’t look for ideas, look for problems. Fuck, incredible insight!
Sam ovens showing that the only way to get people to truly trust you and buy your program is through truthful and actually helpful information. Love it, but shows that it isn't as easy to get people's trust as it used to be.
bro, you're a genius. i go through all of this. thank you
Don't be a victim. Invest in yourself this is the leason for 20's.
This video saved my life. Honestly.
I really appreciate the information you disseminate. Thank you, Sam.
Thank you Sam for taking the time for making this free video - appreciate the wisdom
So hard! as the reality
these are one of the honest video, I have ever met on TH-cam!
Yes, thank you.... You got me at the beginning though.... Thank you Sam.
Best entrepreneurial content. No background music, no fluff, no gimmicks. Just good content.
Unfortunately I was out on my own since I was 14. Now I’m 22 and something changed when I was 20. I stopped dating and I moved into my parents house. I haven’t had motivation to work. And overall it seems depressing from the outside. But I’ve never been happier. I don’t hangout with friends. I just spend time at home and with the family. Every few months something intriguing happens. But for the most part you’d see no reason for my happiness to get better.
However; here’s the change
Being isolated has taught me a lot. It’s given me a sense of independence, as silly as that sounds. It’s taught me to educate on my own, think on my own, progress on my own. And MOST importantly, it’s shown me how to not care what people think about me. It feels like a blessing in disguise having “hit rock bottom”. My biggest issue growing up was other people’s opinions of me. I’ve always prided myself on my intelligence and kindness. And as nice as that sounds, I still struggled with people perception and opinions. I tried the “fake it til you make it” approach. And failed, partially. But learned in the process. What I learned is that; the REAL you is who you want to be. Even if you don’t see value in yourself.
The most progress I’ve seen this past year and a half was my personal interests. I’ve invested money into music equipment. I’ve researched everyday different “Wantrepreneur” methods of creating income flow. (As of now I haven’t jumped on any of them) but I have created at least a low-quality foundation for my future.
I now know who I am
I know who I care about
I know who I want to help with my success
Identifying who you are and what will make you happy is the biggest step.
I’m starting to think this is a needless description of my mediocre life. But hopefully some people can relate with my point in life.
Hateful comments appreciated
Helpful comments always welcomed
Much love guys,
And credits to Sam Ovens for making me want to write this out
Enjoy your time on your own guys
Don’t lose focus by not knowing what to focus on
Figure out yourself slowly but surely , and solidify your core moral principles
Good luck guys
Glad to hear that you are growing in thought and coming to these realizations. I can relate with your situation and my only words of encouragement to you are to "do" just as much as you "think". It's easy to get caught in analysis paralysis and, as Sam mentions, there is no teacher like real life experience. Pursue everything you are passionate about and fail often. Failure is the best teacher.
Great advice , as always Sam. Please keep up the with sharing this life changing advice
Unadulterated, no fluff, straight to the point. I resonate with your content as it is clear with no gimmicks. I also appreciate that you refer to existing billionaires in regards to your concepts. Keep it coming!
Can't wait to hear Sam's advice on how to max out your 20s.
Though I like Sam and his advice, "maxing out your 20s" in the style of him or Gary Vee will for most people, you very probably included, result in severely bad thoughts in old age.
In his video on discipline he basically gives the advice to sacrifice everything for the cause and well, it sounds good. But for what purpose will you have that business then?
Maxing out your 20s is total efficiency in Sams sense in these videos, which in general might not be a "maxing out" for you. Sadly.
@@Generalfussi it is what it is though. To be successful in anything not just entrepreneurship, you have to sacrifice a lot to get to the top.
Your channel is great!
So powerful!!! Thank you Sam.
Focus is a superpower, well said 👍
If you don't sacrifice for your goal, your goal will be sacrificed. -- love that saying!
So much truth. This knowledge will go over most people’s heads. These are things that are best experienced to fully understand. Being an entrepreneur requires a totally different mindset then what you’ve been conditioned to know.
So true! Every bit of it. This guy know what he talks about, he's been there so pay attention
Yes Sam! Thank You! Thumb UP!
Thanks Sam 🙏
Thank you so much Sam I’m 16 right now
BEST single Piece of frecken advice I could have gotten this year of 2019!!. That's it , I'm quitting uni.. I hate every min of it , and just went thru it bc of my parents.
Thanks for the Video on Track Man coming 24 been doing this for a Year and what got me in this was being unsure about getting a Job again I left uni when I knew I could build a business online, and TBA I always did want too...
The Most valuable part of this for me was to Focus on Short Term instead of the Long term and Get the Cash Flow Going! I was fully committed but playing long-term I going out of the house and down the town to solve some Fast Problems! :) PEACE!
The 9 things-
1 Wherever you are in life right now, it’s all your responsibility. You have control over your fate.
2 Business is all about solving problems. You don’t need ideas, you need problems.
3 You don’t need to go university, if you want to be an entrepreneur.
4 You need to be All-in your business. Stop managing jobs, biz, etc
5 Stop giving a f of other people’s opinions. Non entrepreneur advice is useless. You are not a civilian anymore.
6 In start,cash flow is the number 1 priority. Cash flow is your oxygen.
7 When you’re lost and confused, focus on customer satisfaction and what’s best for them.
8 Stay lean and frugal. Don’t fall for lifestyle creep.
9 Keep your main thing the main thing. Keep making your product better. Focus.
👍FOCUS ON 1 THING! FOCUS 🙌
Man you just hit all my business lesson / mistakes
Great advice 👍 I really like the part about not asking for people’s opinions

I really love this Sam, just had to say that one more time. So much excellent advice. Sacrifice, focus and commitment. Words rarely heard or acted upon nowadays.
It's Low cost video production, High Value content. Sam is a master gradually becoming a Legend.
Just found you , your advice is awesome and you are only 29!! Wise beyond years. And you say it in such a matter of fact manner. Thanks for all this advice. I will be checking out your website soon.
Sam, thanks for this great video. All the points are helpful but the one that really stands out for me is that Business is solving problems. I also like the basic formula that you shares around this main point. Thanks
