The biggest problem I have is saving money (profits in particular). It’s so easy to find nice things to buy or to gamble money. Is there any strategy to saving?

[@bubbagump3597]

Your way of thinking is badass

[@bluegiant13]

@@Woke-Fact-checked The strategy is to think about how you could use that money to grow your business and then you don't have to worry about buying nice stuff in the future. So after you have thought of it, you immediately use it for the strategy, so you can't spend it on nice stuff. And if you do: you know you are making a bad choice.

My favorite movie is GATTACA. Your statement is very accurate.

[@danetannahill7797]

I’m 53 and now realise my LOVE is ideas, concepts, patterns and imagination. My inner world and how I think and feel is my love. This is an issue because as soon as I go to act the actions seem so petty, futile and annoying because they aren’t ideas and creativity. It explains why I’m ubering 7 days a week. Somehow the structure of Uber allows me to survive whilst I can think, feel and engage with ideas and people. This is a crazy way to live but it’s what’s happened. It’s like my business ideas are women and I’m afraid of commitment. To engage totally with one means I can’t with another!!😊. So, I end up not acting and living a survival mode existence. I’m waking up though and with some inbuilt accountability via others am learning to feel it’s ok to stick with one thing, act on it and there’s enough time to move onto something else. It’s the world in my head that gets the LOVE , Sam talks about which creates a lifelong pattern of moving towards that constantly. All at the expense of getting traction in this life and how we live. Make sense?

[@kim.harris]

The answer to my favourite movie was spot on actually. The first movie that popped into my head was "Forest Gump". So much I could say about how much I identify with the main character. Essentially, I often feel like the dumbest person in the room, and quite "stupid", but I always manage to go on fantastical adventures I couldn't pre-plan even if I tried. And it always ends with me saying "See. The universe loves me." Because everything has some magical way of working out for the best (even though painful at times) through following my promptings, accepting what is, and just saying yes to opportunities that good friends/loving people recommend. I really enjoyed your breakdown of "knowing thyself" and how to actually access some of that important information for myself. I'll be sharing this video with others who are having the procrastination-like behaviours. Thanks Sam!

This is Gold Sam ! I found my love already but this was extra clarity

[@yeeboy217]

Hey Sam, I think a big thing besides love is 2 things .... one thing being something alex becker has touched a lot on about eating healthy/exercising/sleeping and doing those things ot have a very clear mind that can then focus on who you REALLY are and what you believe in and care about and etc. (and that you can only really poorly do that if you dont have your diet sleep exercise and healthy mind and body habits in order) ...... the second thing is this concept of resistance thats talked about in the book the war of art .. where the author makes the argument that whatever you love you tend to face resistance before going to do it ... and its hard to get started and write that book youve always wanted to or draw the painting youve always wanted to , .. the author believes there is great resistance BECAUSE you love the thing .. so there is overcoming that resistance to working on someething you really love too (i think entreprenuer folk who just endlessly watch videos but never can seem to get started ACTUALLY building a business, fall into this camp) .... but those are some thoughts of mine ..... i thinka side from lvoe too , the few people taht go and do it and creat ea business or build something they dreamed fo and see it through to completion do it because of pain , and because that motivates them and theres no other way out but that path ... something like that .; just some thoughts !! curious what you think.. look forward to future videos -Rafif

@Greg Murray 24/7 my man

Damn you hit the nail right on the head. That's what I was thinking when I read his comment. He's only doing it for the money or some other reason. I and so many other entrepreneurs actually love going to work on our businesses because it is exciting to build upon your passion and love of what you do. The money will follow if you work hard and travel in the right direction. Like Michael Jordan says, it's not enough to practice, you have to practice the right way, or something like that.

[@OnePercentBetter]

I am Flick from A Bug's Life. The explorer. The entrepreneur. Always finding a way to do things in a better way when the herd is content with the norm and never questions it. Yet he is seen as a goof! Wtf! He summons the courage to leave the island on an adventure while everyone settles. But it was easy for him because he would'nt have it any other way. The books I have read twice are travel books and my money gets spent on plane tickets to other parts of the world. I even left my girlfriend at the time to go on a 2 month trip without her :P. I have to see what else is out there. That would explain my love affair with psychedelics also. It's like travelling but without the plane ticket.

Great video! Just want to add my 2 cents....Sometimes it can be difficult to enjoy and love something if you're afraid of it, so when you remove the fear you can start to enjoy it and fall in love with it. I would recommend subconscious reprogramming to remove fear, shame, and guilt based programming. The fear of rejection is a big one which causes people to not want to do the work and this is all related to guilt, shame and not feeling good enough. Bruce Lipton and other people talk about this. I'm also an expert on this because I've dealt with this for years. Anyways, keep up the good work, Mr. Ovens!

[@cupofmozzarella]

This video really opened up one of my first happy experiences in a whole new light. I'm gonna fully explain it for myself, but hopefully it can help someone else too. My first memory of feeling actual happiness and fulfillment was on the playground at elementary school. I was around 6 years old and at the start of the week one person in class would be chosen as a sort of 'leader of the day'. This leader was 'in charge' of a couple specific tasks. The class consisted of around 30 kids, the leader was chosen based on the first letter of their last name and my last name was one of the last on the list. So every week there was a lot of room to observe how each person would do the same task. I'm sure there were a lot more tasks but the one I can remember is the opening of the shed which housed all the available toys for the playground break. Every time I saw someone do it, like getting the key, opening the shed and getting all the toys out I was learning, observing, analyzing their actions and subsequent results. I also remember being annoyed at the inefficiency and slowness of the entire process. So when the day finally came where I would be the leader, I counted down the time from when the shed key would be available. At exactly that time (I think 10am or 1030am) I ran to the teacher to get the key, ran to the shed, opened the door as fast as possible and then just evicted all the toys in the shed as fast as possible. Normally I'd just have my break, pick a toy or join other kids with their toys but not today. Today was victory, that very process I had been observing was finally maximized and for the entire break I just basked in my own glory. Everyone got a better break thanks to my effort as they didn't need to enter the shed to get what they wanted, instead they could just easily take whatever was available as soon as they stepped outside. So yeah, I always knew this was my first 'happy' memory but I never saw it in this light. Thanks Sam!

[@artur4782]

This is the first time that I think some video worth me commenting on it. You made me think about love as a essential part of doing the work, and discipline and motivation are good but not the key question, I almost took that point of view too, but then I thought a little about this. Some philosopher said " Choose the right life to live, and habit will make it joyful" Or something like that xD, English is not my first language, so..., sorry if I make some horrific mistakes, I translated the quote the best I could. Then I thought how is that we love some things, and I really believe that ---We love certain things because we have spent time on them-----not the other way. ( Note: I think that you are so attached to your identity of builder and introvert, and so on, but I'm pretty sure that in the future this, will stop you from achieving some goals that you set for yourself, because there will be some point in your life that you should do something not in the way that you are used to, and your ego, and attachment to your identity, thinking that you are this way, that you can't act or proceed like that, will stop you) I didn't like your point of view, because I want to control at least myself the most that I can. For me, at least, I prefer thinking that I control my destine, that everything that I want to achieve is possible ( not only what I love) Thinking like you, that you must love the process, will make people act poorly, because they will say, I don't like this , let's search something else, and will be in the endless path of chasing something that they enjoy doing, because they didn't like some little thing or could not overcome some obstacle... To show some example, if I'm obese and follow your advice, I do what I love, let's eat and eat more, and more junk food, oh this is fun they will say. Some friend advice them to do cardio, and abandon their actual bad diet, but they will say that they don't love running, and don't love vegetables... In this context doing what you Love is an awful advice.... In the other hand if they follow the advice "Choose the right life to live, and habit will make it joyful", they should think what's the best things and habits that they can do to have better chances of achieving the body and health that they want. When they know it, they should do that things, maybe it will be uncomfortable at the beginning but they will be accustomed to it after that habits are engrained in their lifestyle. So... With this said, the CONCLUSION that I made about this, is that there is only one way to do things, do them consciously until they are unconscious on your life.... And there is no better way to do the things you want to achieve than to set a environment where the decision is easy and its easy for you to get there to start doing the thing. There will be better chances for you to get in shape if you live 2 min away from the gym, and it will be easy for you to eat healthy if you don't buy junk food... ( and even easier if the supermarkets of your area don't sell junk food xD)

Woah the movie description thing was spot on. Will watch out for that during conversations.

You should do a video about the best books you’ve read and what you learned from them.

[@jukarera1635]

he has. i forgot which ones. i thought i had them written down. it might be in resources section of consulting

[@gavintai1]

His favorite book is Principal by Ray Dalio

[@vladz3485]

1. Documentaries, music, billionaires, lions, systems. 2. Different small things mainly. For now, the pattern is philosophy because I lack it. 3. None. 4. None. 5. Principles by Ray Dalio, Psycho cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. I can reread them lots of time. Made in America by Sam Walton is awesome too. That's it about books. 6. Investors, business, marketing, mindset. 7. Good food mainly. Awesome video, gives me more confidence in what I do =) And holy cow, at least someone talks about systems, ecosystems and things like that. Absolutely love that, that's my passion, thanks that you brought that.

What if I love learning all kinds of things and the main learning interest changes every 2-3 months? I'm an INTJ as well

Story of my life... I love learning things - as soon as I can do them, I lose interest. How in the hell can you make a living with it? makes me so depressed

[@ZachWeiss]

Absolutely loved this video. I think that you should do exactly what Sam says to find out what you love. My addition is to physically list as many youtube titles and search history keywords as you can and use a free word cloud tool online to visually see the key themes in your life. Going to make a video laying this out on my channel. Ugh, you rock man. Hope to meet you in person one day,

[@travisross8704]

My problem is that I love to many things. I tend to focus on dating, songwriting, and online business but can’t seem to FOCUS enough.

Forrest Gump is actually an amazing character to model one's self by. His achievements and influence were all grand and accomplished through a pure heart and intentions. He didn't know any better than to do the right thing the best he could all the time no matter what. I think we all wish we could be more like Forrest.

i recommend Atomic habit as a way to get in love with any thing you want... A game changer book, speak with science and real life examples, the book is for any one... even if you are a psychiatric

[@alexstefan6936]

It's possible to force yourself to be passionate about something?

[@youssef_houmazen]

Alex Stefan... Is not about forcing yourself but is about letting yourself go with it. You start with easy move until your body get used to it, it take time to be able to get in the process, but if you make it as explained in the book you will make it more easy for you.

[@WFFILMS]

thanks

[@ElementsBJJCanada]

Alex Stefan actually yes it is possible. You have to see several new connections to the thing you don’t like doing, and how it serves you. For example, if you don’t like waking up early, it’s because you haven’t asked the question, “how does waking up early help me to get what I want in my work, family, wealth, physical health etc” whatever is most important to you. Another way to do this is list 100 to 200 benefits of waking up early. Or ask “why do I love waking up early?”. When you realize enough connections of the behaviour to the things you already love, you’ll do them.

[@nicholasdavidson5683]

You can create a bridge by constantly increasing awareness. It takes years of observation and study. Your self is an imagined character. By understanding your habits and likes you can then trace back to how those formed in life. When you find that your self is just a made up character you can start playing around with re invention, new habit building etc. Its just that it's currently in your best interest to follow what you love to do. Ultimately we want to reduce unnecessary suffering and build a system that teaches wisdom to others so we can see our connection to nature and come in line with it. When we find our "first negative lie" we told ourselves based on one event as a child, we can see why we did what we did from there on as a human. The self help industry has a lot of people taking advantage of people's basic programming. Sam does a good job to spread knowledge

[@krystianpoulos8115]

What did you do when you were starting, when it WAS painful, when you didn't absolutely love it, but you knew you wanted it, was there a way to take away the pain in something you didn't like?

[@KasparsRumba8]

Reasons could be the thing that pulls you through. Your emotional reasons, that make you excited just to think about it - it can be buy a house for your parents, retire them, take your other half on an incredible trip. Whatever makes you feel great emotions. The more and stronger reasons, the higher chance that you will pull through.

[@seanwiggins]

Meditate on the end goal and realize that going back to the 9-5 is MORE painful.

[@PsoCoachDejan]

I think this is the 5th time, I am watching this video. Thank you so much Sam. It helps me a lot to understand certain things. God bless

[@ButyrskiComedy]

First video of yours I disagree with or do not think that is thought through. Yes "love" is for sure one of the key components. But love is not the only one. It's a pain & pleasure relationship. And what you describe as love is something that gives you a big amount of pleasure, (almost) no pain and no limiting beliefs; so strong that everything else feels like pain when not doing it. Now, can you reassiociate pain & pleasure? With other words, can you start "loving" something? Yes, absolutely. Btw you can also just be motivated by pain (at least in the beginning). But in this video it sounds like if you don't love something, you cannot become successful at it and even if you try it will be much harder. And that is not true. Your way is just the easiest way to answer this question, because I needed to learn how reassociate pain&pleasure (start truely loving sth).

[@Dynastyseolocal]

Hey Sam, you say you’re an INTJ, which is clearly the case due to optimization of self for goals you’ve set - I can tell you think like an intp does ever since I started following you but your actions show otherwise. I’m an INTP (an actual one), and any intp would agree that if you’re an ambitious intp that wants to amount to big things at a faster rate than what’s natural, you’d optimize yourself to become an intj lol or maybe even an entj, whether short term or long. However, I’m having massive trouble gaining momentum in doing that. It’s very easy for me to fall back into my old habits with decision making speed, distracting myself with creative thinking, stimulating myself with other distractions.. I’d love to hear an entire video of how you effectively became different. I’d also like to hear your take on this concept since it applies here too: I literally eradicated the importance I had on what way people think about me. Before doing that, I knew it was a huge issue that was making me less confident and hindering me in other ways, I also predicted that once successfully eradicating this, it may have negative side effects that connect to motivation since I was motivated by getting others to see me in a specific way due to achievements and other things, like my whole life literally. I now have a lot of trouble motivating myself, but I’m more confident than ever before. I’m doing something I love and enjoy doing, but I’m not driven and motivated to move things forward faster. What advice do you have for this - given you may have gone through something similar in becoming an intj? As a side note, I’d imagine that once I become an intj, the motivation thing would no longer be an issue but I’d love to hear your experience with this! Thanks for everything you share with us Sam.

It's a helpful point of view that helps me understand myself better. I have never heard about the ecosystem of things I love. For example, I love a raw vegan diet but I would hate working as a chef or making food for a big group of people, so the idea of creating an ecosystem helps to find my fit. Helpful.

chbik chpok Look further then that if you love horses you might also like horse racing, maybe that is something you are interested in. Or having something that learn people to ride horses it could be everything. I love my dog but I am not going to do dog shows with her haha. So maybe find something that is not a person/animal.
