Last day at my 9-5 is next month. Because of your program, I started my marketing business from scratch and I'm making triple what I made at my 9-5. On to 6-figure profit this year! Thank you, Sam!
So much value Sam. You give some of the most honest and straight forward advice. You should make a video talking about some of the things you struggle with or used to struggle with that you overcame. I think it would be very value-able in your current position. Keep climbing brother
Wow man I’m looking at this comment 5 years ago from you and you and him really had this mindset to achieve greatness in the stay discipline than many people I have learned so much in 2023 and I can’t wait to get where I want to go and achieve greatness but for now, I will stay disciplined and keep being consistent
I found your channel yesterday and it's a breath of fresh air. You have wisdom beyond your years and courage to tell the truth. The amount of lies and stupid information that is being fed to the public everyday is enormous. And what is really hard is staying different and not conforming to what the society likes to see. Huge majority of the programs and entertainment is created using the lowest common denominator.
Sam Ovens I love this, “just look at your boots” I am from the midlands Ireland and currently building my business. All of your content is helping me change my life BIG TIME. How much is your course Sam?
Hello Sam, nice video! My question is: I can think on my 5 year, 1 year etc goals with clarity. But It's very difficult for me to be clear about the smaller steps to achieve these goals. It seems impossible to reverse engineer the steps. I just don't know exactly all the thousands of steps I need to take. What do you recommend to do? Thanks!
Sam, thanks a lot for this. I don't normally comment on videos, but I felt a true connection with you on this, which I don't often feel when watching guru videos. You provided genuinely useful information, without any obvious push towards your products. Love it!
Completely agree. Funny enough I was thinking the same thing while watching too. Sam's explanations definitely feel more genuine and practically then other guru's.
Incremental and consistent achievement-the concept of 'compound interest' is related, where you obtain a massive result from smaller parts-yes, good point.
Excellent Sam! In all my years of sales and customer service, I’ve never heard of “ Chunking”, AND your very articulate way of explaining it’s meaning and importance for outstanding success.
Dude that was a great video. I used to do a lot of things. I built games. I used to draw. I used to dance. I did great stuff. Then I stopped for a reason I couldn't understand. You just reminded me how I did that. Thank you, really. I feel like it's the best tip I recieved lately.
One of your best ever videos Sam. I remember Tony Robbins talking about chunking way back in the day. Great to see that these strategies stand the test of time. And great to see another kiwi doing so well in the world! Thank you.
Awesome video Sam. People would achieve A LOT More if they better understood "delayed gratification." In my humblest opinion, I feel instant gratification can be real cancerous in your life in the long term. I agree with what you said about Social Media 1000%. It definitly has a vice grip on the mind of the majority that consumes it. "Energy Flows Where The Attention Goes." But they complain and wonder why their lives are where it is today...
I love these types of videos because you can apply it to so many aspects of life and not only business. Thank you for being such an inspiration! Keep up the good work!
Wow, there is so much here... But I loved your quote "targets are useless, unless you are shooting". At some point you gotta say... enough planning, enough lists, time for action! - Thanks Sam
Loved the video Sam! It could not have come at a better time. I consistently find myself unhappy because I keep focusing on the summit and peak. I'll start keeping my head down, focus on my boots and let time do its thing 👍
Hey Sam, just wanted to let you know it’s really cool to see how successful people think and what concepts helped them achieve success. Thank you for the videos! 👍🏽
I have one question for you-- what happens when your goals change? What if I'm not entirely sure on what I want to be doing in 10 years? Would it be advisable to just pick something even if I don't feel 100% "passionate" about it? Thank you for this video and all the other content you put out!
If you are not sure on your goal. I would advise that you do not fixate on that goal as if you do not know where you are going with your life, or not 100% then you will keep floating around searching for that goal after a shot time. Just take a moment to sit and reflect on what you truly want to achieve whether it is: financial gain, happiness, strength. Once you ARE 100% sure on what you would like to achieve in let's say 1 year as it does not need to be 10 years. Then, we should act day by day and take the necessary action to achieve that goal. After a year passes by, what can we do THIS year to achieve this new goal. For example: I made $100,000 last year, this year I want to make $500,000. I hope this helped you out and solved your problem.
Thanks Sam, really liked this video. I’ve watched a lot of your content and never felt the urge to comment until this one. See you in uplevel consulting in 18 months!
These are great videos, I first found you through your video with Tai Lopez. The figures mentioned where so crazy i did not relate. After consuming hours of your content these last few days attending webianrs, watching your TH-cam ads and TH-cam videos, and meeting your students and getting to know you better... I believe you have built something truly special.. thanks for posting.
As usual, Sam, I love your video. Paraphrase: "Never stare at the summit, by doing that you don't get there." "Don't fixate on Lamborghinis ". This is the exact OPPOSITE of what Dan Lok says: Paraphrase: "I want that $250,000 car. 1. Set it, 2. see it, 3. live it, (go to dealerships and take it for a test drive.), 4. share it: (Tell people when looking at the Bentley: "That's my car." ). Then it becomes normal, you get used to the lifestyle." Like fake it till you make it. Interesting the disagreement. However, I do think that Dan is right to say that you should aim for something you want, and keep going in that direction. And I do think that Sam is right in saying that you'll get disheartened if you look at all the work you have to do [as one chunk]. "Walking a few steps", then repeat is easier than "Climbing a MOUNTAIN!" I think that chunking it up, and then plotting a graph of your path to that goal is a very pleasing way to do it, you get the joy of your progress. I used that method to write my (scientific) PhD thesis very quickly. (I don't do ANYTHING quickly).
How in the heck can someone so young have so much wisdom? Oh, that’s right chunking! :-) Sam, you are fantastic I love your videos. I just started sharing them with my wife and she’s not one to watch things like this. But she loves them so much, she’s even teaching her nieces what you teach. That is incredible believe me thanks a million Sam you are special and are changing many lives :-)
Awesome video man you got all my confusion just wear away I still am not good at cutting down or chunking my goals I trust your advices and I’m taking them
Sam’s insight into ‘chunking’ has completely reframed how I tackle major initiatives in my role as a CTO scaling high-growth ventures. By applying these steps, my clients and I are seeing measurable gains in efficiency and revenue. If you’re looking to translate this into practical results for your own business or team, feel free to connect - I’m happy to discuss strategies that go beyond theory.
Thanks for another brilliant strategy, Sam! You mention mountaineering films-would you consider making a video on some of the books and movies that have led to your great insights?
Wow! Another informative video as usual. I love how structured you are. I am the same way. I've found that being that way has caused me to gain more clarity and focused on my tasks at hand. This is definitely a JEWEL that can help me to tackle ANY big goals, tasks, etc in the future. THANKS
Amazing video Bro. Very inspiring. Love your approach and strategies. It's no rocket science but the way you deliver is outstanding. Aman from Auckland
Chunking... great goals small tasks to make it possible! We help people to conquer their goals on cycling thinking longer term doing day by day specific works! Thanks for your info!
I'm a highschool student and I had never come across something that is so realistic as this. My highschool motivational speeches from speakers are bullshit and I wouldn't listen because it's so fantasy like. But I love this, and I took note of every part you've written. Saving up right now to buy your accelerator, that's my goal 🎉
I did llike this video. Clearly explained, motivational as well as provides you with a really powerfull tool to take control over your life. Thanks a lot. Count me as a subscriber.
Sam your seriously amazing. At this point in my agency I need most help with Project management? Curious on the principles / methods you use with your team on PM! Thanks
I have a previous example of "the summit". I was sitting down and I had kept looking at the clock to see how long was left until my time was up. I looked at the clock and saw that there was still 15 minutes left after a long time of doing my meditation. Then, because I kept looking at the clock, I began to have to urge to leave because that thought of wanted to leave was fixated in my mind. So, what I would do is tell myself that there is 30 minutes left instead. Now why would I do this? I did this because, if we make our minds think that it is going to take longer than it ACTUALLY is- then when I feel that 15 minutes is up, I can look at the clock to check. This way, the mind thinks that "actually that was not a long time at all" when the time is up. However if I looked at the clock too soon, I would repeat the process and tell myself that it is going to take longer that it really is. We can trick the brain into making ourselves have more endurance and achieve things that we think are not achievable.
I have months trying to do the handstand, like 3 months, the most I can keep it is 5 secs, at first I was too focused on progress but now I just do it because it feels good to me
Thank you so much, Sam, for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Your lived experiences help me to process and better relate to the message and I just can't thank you enough. This is awesome and it clears up so many personal questions I had about taking on (what I call) "The Beast of Ambition". So many times throughout the Consulting Accelerator training I have found myself fixated on the end goal and that caused me to waiver in my beliefs to achieve it! I have the strengthen to persevere, but it's extremely helpful when I learn a new way to minimize my discouragements!
"By obsessing over the summit, you don't get there." What a great advice! Loved this video!
Glad you liked it :)
Last day at my 9-5 is next month. Because of your program, I started my marketing business from scratch and I'm making triple what I made at my 9-5. On to 6-figure profit this year! Thank you, Sam!
Hope things are still going well 👑
How is going bro?
Where are you now?
So much value Sam.
You give some of the most honest and straight forward advice.
You should make a video talking about some of the things you struggle with or used to struggle with that you overcame. I think it would be very value-able in your current position.
Keep climbing brother
sure
Wow man I’m looking at this comment 5 years ago from you and you and him really had this mindset to achieve greatness in the stay discipline than many people I have learned so much in 2023 and I can’t wait to get where I want to go and achieve greatness but for now, I will stay disciplined and keep being consistent
HA THAT'S CRAZY, Mr. Welch was on Sam Ovens 5 years ago
compounding is critical
Stupidity can be compounded
Intelligence can be compounded
Habits can be compounded
lol
damn, 5 years later, congrats
Begin with the end in mind, without obsessing over it. Focus on the now and today, with the end in mind
applying the lessons RIGHT AWAY!!
Thank You Sam, your channel is a university for me.
Thank you. 7yrs later. Your page is still helpful man, just now seeing this episode I'm staring at my boots 👢 staying focused

Exactly Michael!
Excellent Sam! In all my years of sales and customer service, I’ve never heard of “ Chunking”, AND your very articulate way of explaining it’s meaning and importance for outstanding success.
Dude that was a great video. I used to do a lot of things. I built games. I used to draw. I used to dance. I did great stuff. Then I stopped for a reason I couldn't understand. You just reminded me how I did that. Thank you, really. I feel like it's the best tip I recieved lately.
Sam, I absolutely love your videos theyre so insightful!! At This moment I make it a point to watch your videos regularly. You have become my Guru!!!
One of your best ever videos Sam. I remember Tony Robbins talking about chunking way back in the day. Great to see that these strategies stand the test of time. And great to see another kiwi doing so well in the world! Thank you.
Great book on this exact topic is called "The ONE Thing". Highly recommend it.
Awesome video Sam. People would achieve A LOT More if they better understood "delayed gratification."
In my humblest opinion, I feel instant gratification can be real cancerous in your life in the long term.
I agree with what you said about Social Media 1000%. It definitly has a vice grip on the mind of the majority that consumes it.
"Energy Flows Where The Attention Goes." But they complain and wonder why their lives are where it is today...
I love these types of videos because you can apply it to so many aspects of life and not only business. Thank you for being such an inspiration! Keep up the good work!
Wow, there is so much here... But I loved your quote "targets are useless, unless you are shooting". At some point you gotta say... enough planning, enough lists, time for action! - Thanks Sam
Love this!! Thanks so much !! I really needed to hear this. Totally helped change my perspective on starting my business.
Bro. Your on the .most awesome wavelength.. Thank you
Please be back, man! Love from japan!
Loved the video Sam! It could not have come at a better time. I consistently find myself unhappy because I keep focusing on the summit and peak. I'll start keeping my head down, focus on my boots and let time do its thing 👍
Happy to help Sebastian!
I love your videos. It is a pure pleasure for soul to watch. Concise and valuable.
That was really great insight, I loved it Sam! They metaphor of Mountaineering was awesome- focus on Process vs Product.
Kudos
Hey Sam, just wanted to let you know it’s really cool to see how successful people think and what concepts helped them achieve success. Thank you for the videos! 👍🏽
This is golden man!
I have one question for you-- what happens when your goals change? What if I'm not entirely sure on what I want to be doing in 10 years? Would it be advisable to just pick something even if I don't feel 100% "passionate" about it?

I have this exact question right now. Thats my.next thing I have to solve..
Magnificent as always. You never disappoint. Kudos my friend. Many blessings your way Sam
Thanks Sam, really liked this video. I’ve watched a lot of your content and never felt the urge to comment until this one. See you in uplevel consulting in 18 months!
"Targets are useless unless you shoot them", "stare at your boots". Thanks for the gems my friend.
Another great video, thank you for the content! Currently working to maximize efficiency and minimize distractions. Thanks a lot man

I love this guy. One solid idea after another. Legend from Down Under!!!
Thank you, Sam. You're making the world a better place.
As usual, Sam, I love your video.
Paraphrase: "Never stare at the summit, by doing that you don't get there."
"Don't fixate on Lamborghinis ".

I’m loving your videos
Such valuable content Sam wow! I so needed this and will utilize this method now. Thanks a ton 😎

Great stuff !!
Thanks Sam
This video is amazing such great content such useful valuable information thank you!
'Summoned some voodoo stuff or weird crap like that' - so funny... great stuff!
Exactly, Sam. The Japanese call it kaizen, minor ever-increasing improvements that stack the same as compound interest over time 📈
Great video Sam
I did llike this video. Clearly explained, motivational as well as provides you with a really powerfull tool to take control over your life. Thanks a lot. Count me as a subscriber.
Sams videos stand the test of time
Still getting value 6 years LATER
Thanks Sam, amazing tip.
Thank you Sam!
Sam your seriously amazing.
At this point in my agency I need most help with Project management?
Curious on the principles / methods you use with your team on PM! Thanks
i swear i liked the video and then he keeps talking and i just wanna add likes, good shit man
I have a previous example of "the summit". I was sitting down and I had kept looking at the clock to see how long was left until my time was up.

Don't obsess over the big project but obsess over the chunking and daily execution of the tasks.
I have months trying to do the handstand, like 3 months, the most I can keep it is 5 secs, at first I was too focused on progress but now I just do it because it feels good to me
Awesome advice. Any thoughts on building self-esteem and confidence to build a business ? I am struggling to heal my mind from past trama.
On week 2 of Sam's program, you will learn everything about mindset and how to become confident. If you are still interested, let me know.
Thanks for your insights. By the way, love the apartment.
Thanks sir for this video, gold mine❤❤❤❤

13:27 you never stare at the summit
really helpful!
Look at your mountaineering boots - not the mountain summit!... very good
Wow it took a while for these videos to find me
