I saw Sam Ovens ads at least 30 times and never paid attention. The second Alex Becker mentioned him I actually started paying attention.

I just want to thank you for your videos Sam. I’m a single dad with 2 kids trying to run an SEO company and have been struggling to get serious momentum. Your videos have helped me realize that all the distractions and shiny objects have kept me from focusing like I used to in my 20s before kids. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that your videos have REALLY opened my eyes and helped me a lot. Looking forward to putting the knowledge you share into serious practice in 2019. Cheers!

100 Sam. I quit drugs 5 years ago. Best decision ever! Decided to quit alcohol completely this year too.

[@DJ-fd1og]

2.5 years alcohol free now. No interest going back

[@LaurenTickner]

People focus on the 1%, not the 99%. Thank you for giving out real information and encouraging people to FOCUS.

[@MatthewJohnstonn]

Lauren Tickner ☝️🍾

[@markweston3345]

I think your advice is the most practical and best advice I’ve heard in probably five years or something. You’re really cool guy. Im a fellow New Zealander living in New York and it’s so refreshing to see somebody from New Zealand with a better attitude.

[@LaurenTickner]

Yes to focusing on MASTERING a small amount of things!

[@KarlBro]

Lauren Tickner well said Lauren this is what I am focusing on this year

[@MrClintM]

Very good advice. Start with the basics: stop the bad habits, first, and often you will find you're more than half way there.

[@geezynyambe5225]

i dont know how my life or business would be if Sam never gave these insights. Crazy

[@samovenstv]

Check out the video and let me know what you think here in the comments?

[@justindorsheimer4857]

Great insight, as per usual. Have you considered writing a book about your success? It would definitely be a hit.

[@stellahypnotherapist1420]

I shared some of your strategies/tips in a business fb group. A guy said you were a guru. He clearly hadn't any knowledge of your stuff. I found myself jumping to your defence. Then I stopped myself and thought. His loss if he doesn't want to investigate. I have stopped seeking "fame" since listening to you. I wasn't even aware I was seeking it. It was more a social conditioning. I 've stopped posting on Instagram as much. Turned off notifications, honed my niche and building an online course. Thank you for your clear instructions.

[@mujtabahassan1053]

I just smashed the like button before even watching the whole thing ,that is how much i believe in your philosophy .

[@nam.1652]

Insane value

[@JonTobey]

This channel has the most practical and actionable advice I have ever heard. Via Negativa for business and habits. The value here is exponential.

[@polinaa5896]

I saw you advertisements everywhere on Facebook, yet on KZbin your audience is quite small. This is mind-blowing to me because the free value you deliver here is tremendous. I subscribed only a week ago but already feel that your videos will be life changing for me. Thank you!

[@nourelhudazuraiki5400]

Instead of writing a '' TO DO '' list write " NOT TO DO " list. Sam your channel is priceless, thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us. I learn a lot from you.

[@callumlepley]

Hands down the best content on KZbin, keep it up.

[@jonathan461965]

Basic disciplines always channel commitments. Unfortunately, as you say Sam a lot of people miss the fundamentals in life due to not literally 'keeping things simple' and concentrating on positive things! Well said!

[@MikeMossino]

Together we can change the world, just one random act of kindness at a time.

[@MareBartleet]

Very valuable advice, thank you. I'm focussing on quitting drinking and smoking because it's really messing with my ability to concentrate - it's also hugely time-wasting.

[@Warren-Wheeler]

Great video Sam. This is something I’ve been dealing with for the past 6 or so months. The brain fog, feeling lethargic all day from the crap diet, the binge drinking and overloading my brain learning useless things like how to use tools and learning new strategies - it’s killing my productivity big time. I used to be so focused and get shit done. This video helped a lot mate. Thanks! Wazza from Australia 🇦🇺

[@MikeBarron1]

Golden!!! 🚀 hoping to see new content in your channel brotha

[@Webcoreinteractive]

Some of the best content on YT. Loved "if you're going out drinking on weekends and getting no sleep...you're an idiot". Raw, uncensored gold!

[@stellahypnotherapist1420]

Love it. Thank you. You are looking more fit and healthy on every video. Well done!

[@bigray712]

Sam, we are the same age, but you are a decade ahead in wisdom. A lot of the things you mentioned I was aware of, but just never (or could not) pull the trigger. I've been smoking weed regularly for 10 years (started the day I finished year 12 exams) and finally, after about a hundred attempts QUIT December 31 2018. It's only day 2 but I know in my heart of hearts that I will be weed free in 2019. I know for sure that this will have a cascading effect on my life, as weed has wrecked a lot of opportunities for me in the past decade. Thanks again and I hope you keep dropping jewels.

[@OG-nj3zz]

HOLY MOLLY I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR THIS MAN!

[@ArchemedesMirror]

Prophet and profit are two separate words, but they join together as one with Sam Ovens. I've been addicted to computer games for 20 years straight with almost no interruption, but have been off games for about 2 weeks now since the first time I saw a Sam Ovens video. Also been meditating and jogging daily. I seriously don't really even want to play games anymore. I haven't started a business or made money yet but I already feel a huge difference in who I am. Following the plan he maps out is like getting the pill from the movie Limitless. One multiplier after another, after another... I get it now. I'm 37 and can see it clearly for the first time, it finally makes sense to me how success can happen for anyone who chooses it and puts all the pieces together. Thank you, Sam.

[@janiprime]

I totally relate to the being drunk on the weekend and not being able to focus for the first half of the following week. Quitting alcohol is the best thing I ever did

[@eskaarn359]

This really took a couple of years to understand, but right now I'm in the process of getting rid of anything that's not important to my goals.

[@HamishHodder]

It's unbelievable how true this is. All the biggest leaps forward I've experienced in my business have come from removing stupid sh*t. Great video Sam ✌️

[@mothnode]

Over a span of 10 years and 3 bad relationships (one person was a hoarder, oh my) I have literally cleansed my home. I got rid of everything that doesn't have any function that is important to me. Turned my wardrobe and visual equipment mobile. It has given me the clarity I wanted. Not that I want to right now but if I were to leave I could literally pack (duffel bag and backpack) and take everything I own with me. It means less procedures, less placements and less visual stimulae to think of - which in turn gives thought scripts a direction towards my core drives (not the bio ones).

[@dianasvideos123]

Thanks Sam!!! I needed to hear this today. Will be subtracting some things this week! 🙂👌🏽

[@tamxo2451]

Sam you really are such an awesome content creator who's unbelievably underrated on KZbin.

[@Laprintanddesign]

This completely makes sense. Heard Alex Becker mention you in a KZbin vid and completely agree. Woke up at 5 am today read a business book for an hour, but still need to kick my weed, Instagram and Snapchat habit. Keep rocking Sam and welcome to Los Angels!!

[@emilytamayomaher]

Well done Sam, you are one of the few people who have the power to change the believes and habits of people which I would have given up.

[@Mark-qj5kp]

Great video. I recently saw your Quantum Mastermind video from October. Immediately ordered an Oura Ring and removed all the apps from my phone. The amount of fucking work I've got done the past two days by being off the social platforms (aside from checking in for 20 or 30 mins at the end of the day) is insane. Know it's gonna take consistency to build the habit, but already stoked at the huge impact from these 'subtractions' and taking ownership of when I go to sleep/wake up. The last month felt like I was constantly in 'reactive' mode. Thanks for sharing, Sam!

[@terryhenyo9216]

I really like watching to your videos. I grew tired of those gurus that are all about 'motivation' and 'hard work.' While those two are important they are only factors that plays into success.

"if you want change, it takes change to get it"

[@icency77]

Best advice I have gotten so far in the year, straight to the point no BS!

[@jamies6534]

If you've ever heard the podcast with Tim Ferris and Richard Branson, straight out of the gate Branson states that giving up the booze/party lifestyle is a huge game changer & by far the number one thing for all serious business people to consider.

[@tomicz9850]

I didn't like Sam at beginning, seen him first time on facebook ads, he had really bad comments there, so I thought he was a fakeprenuer like Tai, Grant and others. I changed my mind when Alex Becker recommended this dude, now this is my favorite KZbin channel. The best content ever, very useful stuff is shared here, while other fakeprenuers are sharing baltant things like "don't give up" and shit like that. Keep going Sam!

Thanks Sam... another great training video. I keep laughing at your haters.... they really crack me up... none of them have ever invested any money in your stuff, and probably not invested in anything at all!! Thanks again for doing what you do.

[@thevisiondoctor]

Love your stuff. Just a small tip which I'm sure you'd be open to--look directly into the camera of the phone rather than the screen, that way you make direct eye contact with us. It's a small but powerful shift.

[@ryanmilleryoga1098]

Great Video. Very similar to what I teach in yoga. Most people are spread far too thin and have information overload especially in the fitness industry as you said. Seeing people kill their hard work with poor sleep, alcohol and poor diet is so frustrating!

[@grant-lannin]

Subtraction has been huge for my copywriting biz. 15 clients @ 1k / mo = no fun. 3 clients @ 10k / month = a lot of fun.

[@guerrillaofficial3845]

Sam's advice has allowed us to dramatically increase our own revenue by focusing on a primary offering and perfecting it. Cut out all the crap and craft a killer process that has laser focus and provides your clients with massive value and ROI. When we stopped focusing on our bottom line and started focusing on the one thing that provided our customers with the MOST value, we were able to get customers faster than we could onboard. Cut the fluff, focus on providing value, and your bottom line will take care of itself!

[@OnePercentBetter]

Love it!

[@bryanjiang8726]

Definitely one of the best videos I've seen this week. Great stuff Sam!

[@janiprime]

I started this year cutting off anything that's not going to get me to where i want to be. Moved closed to the gym, deleted all my social media Apps UNLESS i am going to post a video that will help me with my branding for my business. Even being on here watching this video, although its great, i'm going to close youtube and get back to WORK!

[@advertlines]

Thank you for this amazing video Sam. I love the quick 15 minute ones.

[@ljdeacon3845]

I also practice one in, one out. When you take on a new goal or habit, you remove one that does not serve you. One in, one out. replace it.

[@KlaasVictor]

I am so happy and excited! I've just purchased the consulting accelerator course, I'm very excited and grateful of the journey to come! Thank you

[@cryptolatino9220]

Great advice Sam, what good is it to make money if we are going to drive ourselves into a disaster in our personal lives, totally agree with you. If I am disciplined I can do both: make money and enjoy life in a healthy way. Thanks. Bogota, Colombia.

[@RamblingRamul]

You really spoke to me like non other before.. I run a small business making websites but on the side I also do KZbin gaming.. And I rather want to make videos. I can't get any of them to work 100% the only reason I run a small business is to avoid a normal 9-5, because I hate having a boss. What is your suggestion for making my gaming thing to work when I need to pay bills? I feel like I can't do two things, even having a normal job and then making my channel "successful".

[@robertwiruetin]

So helpful. Thank you Sam.

[@EvanEvansMusic]

I think Costco is truly your friend. I bought 16 pairs of the same underwear, a set of two vegetable Quiches to which I eat a slice for breakfast and a slice for lunch, a package of Fiji Apples for inbetween snacks and a case of Fuji Waters to hydrate all day and night. All to avoid "decision fatigue". I don't have to think about what I'm going to eat. It's already ready for me. And the reason I mention this, is, I was at Target today, in the grocery section, and I saw some grapes, oranges, pears, etc. And I thought to myself, why would I create a CHOICE? People buy too much stuff and then they have to decide which thing they are going to use/eat 3-6 or more times per day. The takeaway? Don't buy a variety of foods. Stick to what you like. Eat it, and keep moving. Avoid VARIETY like the plague. Get unified.

Improvement From Subtraction - Set goal > Change behaviour - Don’t do stupid shit - Look at upside & downside - Priority (1) survival (2) winning - Example (health) - simple solution, gym and healthy - however people take all this complicated stuff focusing on small upside things and ignoring large downsides - Remove stupid shit > maximum gains - Commit to One Thing and remove the rest from the plate - Make a list of stupid shit (big losses) and remove before doing Advanced Things (small gains) > otherwise you’re being an idiot - Compounding things - Instead of New Year Resolution and adding stuff > remove all the shit

[@MikeBarron1]

AMEEEEN!!! 🙏

[@EvanEvansMusic]

Addiction? How to know if you're addicted to anything: if during the normal course of an action you would add-on or course change to include the potential addiction before finishing the course of action, that is your red flag that something has control over you and not the other way. It's an easy test. If it gets in the way of, or lures you out of or into adding to, a normal course of action then you know you have an addiction problem. And because the neural pathways are set, the only way to prevent it from happening in the future is by removing the temptation. A small percentage of people can train themselves to have the willpower but by far that is the worst way to manage your brain because it will be taxed with the strain of that willpower. Best solution: remove temptation (if you've discovered that it's an addiction).
