    Don't focus on the $10/hr job, instead pay someone to do the $10 job and focus on the $100/hr job. Thanks for everything Sam!!

    Amazing value as always Sam! It was a game changer to me about a year ago when I realised that 'if you don't go forward, you go backwards', there's no such way of standing still ! Love your videos, I appreciate your knowledge and do my best to apply it and I count that as a way to make me go forward because it really does! Thank you Sam!

      Sam’s method is too robotic for me.
      As a creative entrepreneur, my process is different. Life isn’t all about maximizing productivity. I need time to feel & express myself.
      Sam thinks like an engineer.
      That doesn’t work for everyone.
      Made a channel where I talk about emotions & entrepreneurship. Thought you might enjoy it! Check it out :)

    Sam is impressive how your older videos add so much value. I am the ecommerce business mainly doing Amazon FBA and your mindset content is so applicable to any business model. Focusing on valuable work and principles over noise and potential distractions. When I work less on new “things” the more profit and progress I do. Thank you for all the content you provide to the community

    Hi Sam Ovens,
    Your analysis question, "Does it make the boat go faster" is an interesting concept.
    In traditional business, drought with competition in the wider marketplace, a traditional business owner is scanning the product sales efficiency in the face of other like businesses, while trying to "trim" (sailing term) the overhead costs.
    Within direct sales, the way we increase our income is by: helping other people achieve through leadership (we teach them to "sail" out on the water (marketplace). Our reward system is geared to increasing business volume for a fellow partner....on the same "boat" our organisation. Very people oriented, but still on the ground finding solutions to growth and profitability and strengthening relationships.
    The overall aim for us is: grow business product volume, but also leadership skills and succeed getting multiple boats across the finish line (high qualification). Leaders qualify for compounding rebates and bonuses for holding group business together.
    No competition in the marketplace....just building your team.
    It is another focus...but can "float your boat" in a very satisfying way.
