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?
I'll add to the point of going all in your business. Realize that once you start seeing some real success in your own business, other's will reach out to you for help. You'll have friends & family members that see you as their only source of success. And expect you to help them all throughout the way to reach the same level of success as you or higher. Nothing inherently wrong with that. But they'll do so expecting to do the minimal amount of work and waiting for your to tell them some 'Secret' that'll instantly skyrocket them to success. The only solution you'll have at that point is accepting them for who they're and setting up clear boundaries on what you will or will not do. Believe when a lot of people say success doesn't come easy. It really doesn't. You'll have to cut out a lot of people who were close to you, or you're better of not falling for status signaling like Sam talks about in this video with the examples of billionaires in their chevy.
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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

January 26, 2024 and this is still just absolute gold. The truth never goes out of style. Thanks Sam!
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 :/

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.
This Video needs to be framed on the wall.
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!
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.
