    'Define your mountain, know what it is, scope out the land, figure out how you can climb to the top of that thing, climb up there, drive a stake into it and defend it like hell and own it' - That is the real strategy for success in business.

    Thanks Sam! You told the absolute truth about "it." Others may have said it, but none spelt it out the way you have. Truly, I have lost some 28 years jumping around the shiny objects since the down of the net, lost nothing less than $1.5 m over these years. Now as I write this I have several programs I bought just last month, opened on my desktop daily, confused as to which to work on and often accomplishing nothing each day. Thanks for saying it as it ought to - An invaluable Advice. I wish I can consult with you. May be! But now I am absolutely broke.

      I've never ever seen a business person that is so relatable and practical. When you were talking about the people in New Zealand, I was thinking the same thing about the country that I'm from( we moved to the US for a 'better life'). But, I see people in my country being so successful and that's when I realize it mostly has to do with your attitude and efforts not so much the place. Especially, since there is globalization and all.

  • @RickHignett

    Awesome Video Sam, thank you for sharing. I have major A.D.D! I actually managed to build a small Coaching Business based on what NOT to do, because I’d worked Online for about 15 years, been involved with roughly 106 different ‘Income Opportunities’ (not all were proper Businesses) and I managed to lose in excess of £250,000 (GBP) during those 15 years - most of which was during the first 10 years. I used to hop in to different stuff all the time & I usually had around 12 things on the go at any one time. INSANE right!?
    As it happens, I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer last year - which I found out can develop & grow due to stress, which I obviously had a LOT of, because nothing was working very well (financially). However, I’m just about to start my ‘Curtain Call’ Business.... it’s Amazon!
    I have absolutely no intention on jumping to anything else and although my Cancer isn’t terminal, I have a totally focused ‘do or die’ attitude with this last Business. I NEED to leave a legacy for my daughter - a Cancer Diagnosis kinda reminds you that you’re not immortal & helps you reevaluate your priorities.
    Once again Sam, thank you for the poignant reminder, the inspiration, the motivation & for the great explanation of what I’ve clearly suffered from for many, many years - it’s a killer!

    I like Sam's videos, however when I scheduled a "live" video they tried to present Sam as being live on the training but it was really a previously recorded video with Sarah Brudnicki actually being the only person on the call. I'm ok with prerecorded videos but not when they are presented deceptively as live.

    commitment takes a gut or experience at least. no one can commit to something until they experience niche hopping and what it has done to them and how time waste it is. i came to conclusion after 6 months of trying to choose a niche and i saw the results too. got me nowhere. now i'm stuck to network marketing for 3 months and i see myself getting improved every month when i look back. i'm not saying i didn't get value from your video on the contrary i'm thrilled to get such a knowledge . it also confirmed my experience even more, that i'm not the only one getting distracted by shiny objects every entrepreneur was there before.
    btw i'm fascinated of watching every video of yours, how can you provide so much value in a short video, plz don't stop, it's like free mentoring for people who can't afford yet.

    Well I'm wrinting from the third world, and I have to accept, YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT SAM! we are so volatile, we wanT faster results with the minimun effort, we don't want to master the real things of the world, sales and create value. Pherhaps this syndrome it's gonna intesify during the next decades, because the new generations (including mine) are quite energetics, we believe that we can achieve it, just because the fact that somebody else did get succed, but we do not wanna master cappacities (as the succed people did), also this effect can be described as the iceberg effect, we can't messurate the hole volume of ice (in comparation with success we can not measurate the effort and the time used on the project). thanks a lot for the words Sam, this words are very easy to understand and even it's easier to masterized or innerized your message. greetings from Colombia.

It deflated me I thought it was pathetic he didn't secure me as a lead for his training. I think there's a big opportunity to cut through guru hype. Dropshipping works its just the landscape is/has changed.
