Last day at my 9-5 is next month. Because of your program, I started my marketing business from scratch and I'm making triple what I made at my 9-5. On to 6-figure profit this year! Thank you, Sam!
So much value Sam. You give some of the most honest and straight forward advice. You should make a video talking about some of the things you struggle with or used to struggle with that you overcame. I think it would be very value-able in your current position. Keep climbing brother
Wow man I’m looking at this comment 5 years ago from you and you and him really had this mindset to achieve greatness in the stay discipline than many people I have learned so much in 2023 and I can’t wait to get where I want to go and achieve greatness but for now, I will stay disciplined and keep being consistent
Hey Sam, just wanted to let you know it’s really cool to see how successful people think and what concepts helped them achieve success. Thank you for the videos! 👍🏽
Incremental and consistent achievement-the concept of 'compound interest' is related, where you obtain a massive result from smaller parts-yes, good point.
I love these types of videos because you can apply it to so many aspects of life and not only business. Thank you for being such an inspiration! Keep up the good work!
I found your channel yesterday and it's a breath of fresh air. You have wisdom beyond your years and courage to tell the truth. The amount of lies and stupid information that is being fed to the public everyday is enormous. And what is really hard is staying different and not conforming to what the society likes to see. Huge majority of the programs and entertainment is created using the lowest common denominator.
Thanks Sam, really liked this video. I’ve watched a lot of your content and never felt the urge to comment until this one. See you in uplevel consulting in 18 months!
Excellent Sam! In all my years of sales and customer service, I’ve never heard of “ Chunking”, AND your very articulate way of explaining it’s meaning and importance for outstanding success.
One of your best ever videos Sam. I remember Tony Robbins talking about chunking way back in the day. Great to see that these strategies stand the test of time. And great to see another kiwi doing so well in the world! Thank you.
Sam, thanks a lot for this. I don't normally comment on videos, but I felt a true connection with you on this, which I don't often feel when watching guru videos. You provided genuinely useful information, without any obvious push towards your products. Love it!
Completely agree. Funny enough I was thinking the same thing while watching too. Sam's explanations definitely feel more genuine and practically then other guru's.
Loved the video Sam! It could not have come at a better time. I consistently find myself unhappy because I keep focusing on the summit and peak. I'll start keeping my head down, focus on my boots and let time do its thing 👍
Wow! Another informative video as usual. I love how structured you are. I am the same way. I've found that being that way has caused me to gain more clarity and focused on my tasks at hand. This is definitely a JEWEL that can help me to tackle ANY big goals, tasks, etc in the future. THANKS
These are great videos, I first found you through your video with Tai Lopez. The figures mentioned where so crazy i did not relate. After consuming hours of your content these last few days attending webianrs, watching your UA-cam ads and UA-cam videos, and meeting your students and getting to know you better... I believe you have built something truly special.. thanks for posting.
Dude that was a great video. I used to do a lot of things. I built games. I used to draw. I used to dance. I did great stuff. Then I stopped for a reason I couldn't understand. You just reminded me how I did that. Thank you, really. I feel like it's the best tip I recieved lately.
Amazing video Bro. Very inspiring. Love your approach and strategies. It's no rocket science but the way you deliver is outstanding. Aman from Auckland
Awesome video man you got all my confusion just wear away I still am not good at cutting down or chunking my goals I trust your advices and I’m taking them
Wow, there is so much here... But I loved your quote "targets are useless, unless you are shooting". At some point you gotta say... enough planning, enough lists, time for action! - Thanks Sam
Thanks for another brilliant strategy, Sam! You mention mountaineering films-would you consider making a video on some of the books and movies that have led to your great insights?
How in the heck can someone so young have so much wisdom? Oh, that’s right chunking! :-) Sam, you are fantastic I love your videos. I just started sharing them with my wife and she’s not one to watch things like this. But she loves them so much, she’s even teaching her nieces what you teach. That is incredible believe me thanks a million Sam you are special and are changing many lives :-)
Awesome video Sam. People would achieve A LOT More if they better understood "delayed gratification." In my humblest opinion, I feel instant gratification can be real cancerous in your life in the long term. I agree with what you said about Social Media 1000%. It definitly has a vice grip on the mind of the majority that consumes it. "Energy Flows Where The Attention Goes." But they complain and wonder why their lives are where it is today...
I did llike this video. Clearly explained, motivational as well as provides you with a really powerfull tool to take control over your life. Thanks a lot. Count me as a subscriber.
Chunking... great goals small tasks to make it possible! We help people to conquer their goals on cycling thinking longer term doing day by day specific works! Thanks for your info!
Sam your seriously amazing. At this point in my agency I need most help with Project management? Curious on the principles / methods you use with your team on PM! Thanks
Sam Ovens I love this, “just look at your boots” I am from the midlands Ireland and currently building my business. All of your content is helping me change my life BIG TIME. How much is your course Sam?
Hello Sam, nice video! My question is: I can think on my 5 year, 1 year etc goals with clarity. But It's very difficult for me to be clear about the smaller steps to achieve these goals. It seems impossible to reverse engineer the steps. I just don't know exactly all the thousands of steps I need to take. What do you recommend to do? Thanks!
Great video mate, love the mountaineer analogy. You plan your days ahead in your diary, which I imagine is part of your chunking process. Any idea if there is an electronic resource out there that allows you to record this in a concise manner? Such as a spreadsheet?
I have months trying to do the handstand, like 3 months, the most I can keep it is 5 secs, at first I was too focused on progress but now I just do it because it feels good to me
I'm a highschool student and I had never come across something that is so realistic as this. My highschool motivational speeches from speakers are bullshit and I wouldn't listen because it's so fantasy like. But I love this, and I took note of every part you've written. Saving up right now to buy your accelerator, that's my goal 🎉
I have one question for you-- what happens when your goals change? What if I'm not entirely sure on what I want to be doing in 10 years? Would it be advisable to just pick something even if I don't feel 100% "passionate" about it? Thank you for this video and all the other content you put out!
If you are not sure on your goal. I would advise that you do not fixate on that goal as if you do not know where you are going with your life, or not 100% then you will keep floating around searching for that goal after a shot time. Just take a moment to sit and reflect on what you truly want to achieve whether it is: financial gain, happiness, strength. Once you ARE 100% sure on what you would like to achieve in let's say 1 year as it does not need to be 10 years. Then, we should act day by day and take the necessary action to achieve that goal. After a year passes by, what can we do THIS year to achieve this new goal. For example: I made $100,000 last year, this year I want to make $500,000. I hope this helped you out and solved your problem.
Hey Sam, thanks for the great video. I started a consulting business a few months ago. Do we have to be 100% sure that we can get clients results to start charging real money for the services or can we also learn as we go and charge already?
Hi Sam, really liked the topic for today. I even took some notes. I always find your videos to be super educational & inspiring to business and life. My questions to you are to what is the extent should we map out our goals? Would it be unproductive to map out too many LTG's? (long-term goals). Should we separate our goals into certain categories? like Career goals from personal goals? Cause Honestly, I could map out a bunch of LTGs for myself. I would just wonder if mapping out to many at once would be overwhelming. Or maybe I should adjust accordingly over time while I focus on my STGs (short-term goals)?
I had a lot of success when i would daily write down ten goals for the year, and three steps to accomplish them. That's Brian Tracy's book 'Goals' My experience is that i can handle and manage 3-10 things at a time, and that is a nice number of options. More than 10 starts to be way too much to handle. I think the way it works is that each thing you add doesn't just ADD complexity but it multiplies it. Each time you make a decision on how to spend your time you have to decide what is the highest priority. Each timr you do that, you have to compare each option to every other option - if you have 2 options, there is 1 comparison, with 3 options, there are 3 comparisons, with 4 options there are 6 comparisons, amd so on. My guesstimate for 10 options is 45 comparisons (9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1), so it is a lot to compare. In practice it is not as difficult as that, but the point is that there is an upper limit on how many different goals you can coordinate, and for me about 10 feels like that limit. But there are ways to chunk them out - e.g. maybe different financial goals can be integrated under the main financial goal of "retire early with $100,000 income" or something, and under that goal is "build a business", " invsst in the sharemarket", etc. If you want a clwsr strategy, i would say to do what he suggests in the video - start with the big picture stuff and chunk it down to smaller pieces. Decide on one major goal for each area of your life (e.g. relationships, finances, health, life purpose, personal development, etc), you ultimate goals, and then work out 10 year goals, 1 year goals, etc. But you probably only want to have up to 10 goals for each level, i.e. 10 goals for the year, 10 goals for the month, for the week, for the day, etc Hope that helps
Thank you so much, Sam, for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Your lived experiences help me to process and better relate to the message and I just can't thank you enough. This is awesome and it clears up so many personal questions I had about taking on (what I call) "The Beast of Ambition". So many times throughout the Consulting Accelerator training I have found myself fixated on the end goal and that caused me to waiver in my beliefs to achieve it! I have the strengthen to persevere, but it's extremely helpful when I learn a new way to minimize my discouragements!
Hello Sam I finished your “face off with the devil,” last night, & started watching this video at the start of my morning. I’ve admit to why I’m not where I want to be, though I need to make my goals reality. Is there possibly a layout or way we can find out how to properly create portioned, day by day goals after re-engineering? I understand the concept of working backwards, but how do I know if I am doing the right things everyday?
"By obsessing over the summit, you don't get there." What a great advice! Loved this video!
Glad you liked it :)
applying the lessons RIGHT AWAY!!
Thank You Sam, your channel is a university for me.
Last day at my 9-5 is next month. Because of your program, I started my marketing business from scratch and I'm making triple what I made at my 9-5. On to 6-figure profit this year! Thank you, Sam!
Hope things are still going well 👑
So much value Sam.
You give some of the most honest and straight forward advice.
You should make a video talking about some of the things you struggle with or used to struggle with that you overcame. I think it would be very value-able in your current position.
Keep climbing brother
sure
Wow man I’m looking at this comment 5 years ago from you and you and him really had this mindset to achieve greatness in the stay discipline than many people I have learned so much in 2023 and I can’t wait to get where I want to go and achieve greatness but for now, I will stay disciplined and keep being consistent
HA THAT'S CRAZY, Mr. Welch was on Sam Ovens 5 years ago
compounding is critical
Stupidity can be compounded
Intelligence can be compounded
Habits can be compounded
lol
damn, 5 years later, congrats
Begin with the end in mind, without obsessing over it. Focus on the now and today, with the end in mind
Hey Sam, just wanted to let you know it’s really cool to see how successful people think and what concepts helped them achieve success. Thank you for the videos! 👍🏽

Exactly Michael!
I love these types of videos because you can apply it to so many aspects of life and not only business. Thank you for being such an inspiration! Keep up the good work!
i'm addicted to your videos i will watch them all, a lot of golden informations, pedagogic and clear.
thank you so much and God protect you.
I found your channel yesterday and it's a breath of fresh air. You have wisdom beyond your years and courage to tell the truth. The amount of lies and stupid information that is being fed to the public everyday is enormous. And what is really hard is staying different and not conforming to what the society likes to see. Huge majority of the programs and entertainment is created using the lowest common denominator.
Thanks Sam, really liked this video. I’ve watched a lot of your content and never felt the urge to comment until this one. See you in uplevel consulting in 18 months!
Excellent Sam! In all my years of sales and customer service, I’ve never heard of “ Chunking”, AND your very articulate way of explaining it’s meaning and importance for outstanding success.
Sam, I absolutely love your videos theyre so insightful!! At This moment I make it a point to watch your videos regularly. You have become my Guru!!!
That was really great insight, I loved it Sam! They metaphor of Mountaineering was awesome- focus on Process vs Product.
Kudos

Meru!
" these people think its black magic or some stuff" ! lol the best part.. gotta be real. i like frank advice. refreshing, practical advice. thx
Hello Sam, nice video! My question is:
I can think on my 5 year, 1 year etc goals with clarity. But It's very difficult for me to be clear about the smaller steps to achieve these goals. It seems impossible to reverse engineer the steps.

Great video mate, love the mountaineer analogy. You plan your days ahead in your diary, which I imagine is part of your chunking process. Any idea if there is an electronic resource out there that allows you to record this in a concise manner? Such as a spreadsheet?
Exactly, Sam. The Japanese call it kaizen, minor ever-increasing improvements that stack the same as compound interest over time 📈
Dope apartment Sam Love the windows!!!
I have months trying to do the handstand, like 3 months, the most I can keep it is 5 secs, at first I was too focused on progress but now I just do it because it feels good to me
I'm a highschool student and I had never come across something that is so realistic as this.

Saving up right now to buy your accelerator, that's my goal 🎉
Do you still want the program? Sam's offering a FREE trial + $500 discount.
really helpful!
'Summoned some voodoo stuff or weird crap like that' - so funny... great stuff!
I have one question for you-- what happens when your goals change? What if I'm not entirely sure on what I want to be doing in 10 years? Would it be advisable to just pick something even if I don't feel 100% "passionate" about it?

I have this exact question right now. Thats my.next thing I have to solve..
great advice thanks
This Is Really a Gold Tips!
I like the mountain analogy. Gary Vee calls it CLOUDS & DIRT :)
i swear i liked the video and then he keeps talking and i just wanna add likes, good shit man
Hey Sam, thanks for the great video. I started a consulting business a few months ago. Do we have to be 100% sure that we can get clients results to start charging real money for the services or can we also learn as we go and charge already?
Sam excellent video!
Although I must know, can you do a handstand?

chunking is what we did in college after drinking too much at the party.
This is gold. Like Muhammad Ali said "don't count the days, make the days count"
great!!
Hello Sam I finished your “face off with the devil,” last night, & started watching this video at the start of my morning. I’ve admit to why I’m not where I want to be, though I need to make my goals reality. Is there possibly a layout or way we can find out how to properly create portioned, day by day goals after re-engineering? I understand the concept of working backwards, but how do I know if I am doing the right things everyday?
Great video! One of my problems is that I don't know the steps ...
Awesome advice. Any thoughts on building self-esteem and confidence to build a business ? I am struggling to heal my mind from past trama.
On week 2 of Sam's program, you will learn everything about mindset and how to become confident. If you are still interested, let me know.
