Damn Sam. You just told me to eliminate everything I basically felt i needed to do to have a successful business. But you boiled it down to four MAIN things: 1.Pick a niche (specific group of people) I'm interested/passionate, know a lot about, understand, or have experience with 2. Identify a painful problem this niche experiences that keeps them up at night stressed, worried, and/or feeling depressed, angry, this problem needs to be something they urgently want to solve 3. Solve that problem with my current skill set or one that I can develop and learn very quickly (Sounds like I'm their SAVIOR) 4.Sell that solution to the nasty problem back to my niche and GET THEM THE RESULT in exchange for money That is SO SIMPLE its out of this world crazy to me... Everything else is distraction and doesn't get me anywhere closer to growing and building my BUSINESS. Thanks Sam! You're the GOAT!
Alessandro Calcagni one thing you should do is don’t take everything Sam says so seriously. He isn’t the only person you should listen to.... Listen to your heart first and foremost. If there is a problem you WANT and feel GOOD about solving then go with that. Having a passion and interest in your niche is key. It’s not about always having a OUT OF THE BOX IDEA or solving a MEGA BIG problem. It’s just understanding what your NICHE currently thinks and does and what they want and need in their life and business to get to their desired point in life.
Vladislav Lim not yet - was thinking about getting into it. I want to learn to perfect a few things and I think Sam would have answers for me! So I will apply today perhaps.
Weeds that are stopping you from becoming the greatest version of yourself: -Social Media -Drugs & Alcohol -Porn -Gaming -Aimless internet browsing -Procrastinating -Bad friends Can you name any more weeds, what have I missed?
-news -going out for food (have precooked meals for the day or just eat 2 large meals instead of 4 small ones) -shopping (plan &batch your shopping, don't go out every time you need something). -"just hanging out" (schedule your fun and make it multi-tasking... example: lunch w friends or workout w friends or bowling, etc... don't just sit around with friends doing nothing... its boring and a waste of time) -youtube (unsubscribe from yt channels that don't provide value and stick to educational vids). -Texting/Snapchat (Turn off notifications and check them two or three times a day... mealtime is a good time... multitask) -Sleep deprivation (7 hours of sleep is necessary to maintain a high workload lifestyle... longterm is what matters). -Junk food (time waster and bad for health/productivity and requires more exercise... total waste) -email (for most people, once a day @ night time is optimal) -parties (hangout while doing something physical or watch a movie together... multitask) -chasing relationships (let it happen naturally, don't run around looking for one and keep partner on the same page so they understand your goals) -Menial housework (errands) - batch that stuff and do it closer to the end of the day... work all day first and then... when you're mentally exhausted, do mindless chores with music or whatever to multitask and also get some movement before bedtime. etc etc etc
Those are things that kill the plant more than weeds but yeah. I'd also add: -College, in 85% of all cases -News and TV -Activism -Shitposting and trolling
I am not an entrepreneur, but this is good advice in general for people who just want to be successful in life. Get rid of distractions. Stop wasting time. Focus on your most important goals.
This was something I struggled with a lot when I started out. It really held me back so much. As soon as I gained focus on what was truly important to growing my business, things started to fall into place. Thanks Sam for another solid video.
Love how you keep repeating this in videos. So important. I’m only 26 but I’ve grown to believe that life does not get harder as you get older. It does get more complex. Eliminate the weeds and keep the main thing the main thing!
Sam, I very much enjoyed the weeds video. It really struck a cord with me. I'm someone who tried to do many of the things you described, create a web site, write a blog, do public speaking etc. Just as you said, none of it worked. it only served to make me incredibly tired and incredibly poor. Thanks again, for everything you do. Please keep up the good work.
Your content is better than 99% of people on UA-cam. Thanks a million, honestly. You're making a huge impact - and you deserve more success because of it.
Sam, I love your videos man, you are the only person I take advice from that I implement. My life has already changed significantly from all the videos I've been watching from you. A lot of them I watched multiple times. I still can't afford your courses (literally). But my life is slowly changing for the good. As you said, successful people leave crumbs or traces behind their success, hence I devour your info on youtube like no one else. One day I am going to be in Manhattan and I hope I meet you. The grass is not greener on the other side it is greener where you water, I literally hung that on my wall. It has profound implications for an INTP like me. I had to turn on comments from the HideRec app that blocks out almost everything on YT to say this. Cheers! P.s. please do keep making these videos, they are life-changing, I truly mean it.
You mentioned you cannot afford his courses. If you do in the future, please consider it really carefully before you spend 2,000+ dollars on his courses. In this 12 min video, all he said is focus. Every person knows that if you want to be successful on something, you need to focus on the important things and spend much less time on the details. He embellishes this with gimmicks, marketing tricks, examples etc. etc. and people fall for it. Please save your money. 2,000+ is a huge amount. Maybe you have kids who need it, if not maybe you will have kids one day, or you will need it yourself. Save your money man, it doesn't come easy. Don't fall for it.
Hi, if you like his videos that much (I do too) you will probably like Anton Kreil's videos as well. If you haven't seen them just search for his 10 secrets videos and the 5 principles follow up video. It'll take around 4 hr in total but well worth it and free (on youtube)
@@carlstetter2815 I watched his ninja shit video, and Sam has knowledge on topics like ads that are next level and beyond what I've seen anyone talks about. I would pay 500 for that video alone. You don't have to worry about my life decisions good willed stranger, I think and decide for myself. Things you wouldn't do or pay for aren't the things I wouldn't do or pay for, I view the world through my lens not yours.
Thanks Sam for this great video!, I'm a musician but what you say is just crystal clear about the situation we all face today in our lives and distractions all around all the time.
Awesome Video Sam. So useful to hear that from you. By the way: I think you should make videos with the ocean in the background! It would look so amazing and I am sure you get a lot more views.
So true. Dividing resources for weeds to grow instead of your plant. The tricky part is to see early which ones are weeds and which ones your plant sprouts!
Thanks for this Sam, this is exactly what I needed right now! I'm having a super successful month, and someone I look up to and respect just asked me if I've been doing content marketing. I said no because I'm trying to stay focused on what really matters right now (getting clients and providing value, which I am.). Since then I've been stressed thinking "Should I start content marketing?" I kinda knew it was a no, but I needed to hear this from you. Thanks!
Great points Sam! Most people will be like: "Yeah, great advice, feeling motivated and going to back as usual." What you recommend can only be done through sustainable lifestyle, habit and mindset change. I the end, need a system in place so we are actually regularly looking at the weeds that have build up and removing them. Like a Google sheet as Overview Dashboard of our days, like a mindset routine and so on.
Awesome comparison, I definitely agree with you that our minds are like gardens. Great video 👍 just subscribed and idk what your channel is even about.... idk how I even found this video but I’m glad I did. Thanks brother
Oh my man Sam! 😆 👍🏼 Being from a gardeners family and having worked in gardens myself I just loove this video and the message!! I have come across this analogy before but I haven’t seen anyone doing this pedagogy having picked fresh weed to make a point. The message is Very clear at least to me. Thanks a lot, just loved it! P.S. I see your business is thriving better than that potplant! 😉
In a world of endless stimulus and distractions, it's so easy to succumb to the noise. But in order to be a successful entrepreneur, we have to learn how to separate the signal from the noise. The main thing is always to keep the main thing the main thing. God bless you Sam 🙏
And another thing from a gardener's perspective: once you ripped the weeds out, you can then let them dry or chop them into pieces and then lay on the earth in the pot where your plant is: the organic materials will decompose and fertilize the soil, nurturing your plant this way. I don'T know if the is contributing something here, but it just came to my mind!
The 4 elements of a successful business : 1. Niche - what is the group of people 2. What is their problem? Why does that problem suck? 3. What is the solution that you're going to offer to these people that have that problem? 4. How is that solution applied to that problem going to create value that people are going to pay money for? Loved the metaphor of the weeds & plant.
Hi Sam, I feel like your material has performed CPR on my mind! There is something different about you and your presentation. I look into your eyes and I believe you! I want this life-changing information. I trust it. It interest me! I am preparing time and space in my days to absorb and digest this information. Besides I like your personality and I THANK GOD for you!
One driver rammed my car 2 times in the same place (in two months) my car is Ford Focus. I think he seriously focused on my car Sam :-). Thanks again Sam !
Being someone who also avoids cutting his hair, I can tell you that he has probably given 0 thought to how long he's going to grow it. He'll grow it until he cuts it, if he cuts it. My wife learnt that she has to cut it, otherwise I'm not bothered. It's a waste of time and money.
@@indianajones4016 "Not over-hyped" lol, the guy is infesting YT like a virus, annoying the shit out of me with his lame ads. I came here to see what the virus is all about and it's just a self-help for feeble minds.

You're awesome brotha. Hope to work with you as soon as possible when my personal brand provides more income to invest back into myself. Keep it up man love your knowledge.
Sam, how do you look back on some of the videos you've made on the channel before? Things like the My Story video have a lot of views but they show a lot of fancy things like cars and jets. Anything you'd like to have differently?
Yes, very true. But the most important thing is to recognize the weeds first. How do I know what to leave? Instagram, Facebook, UA-cam - all this leads to a growth without which my plant would not even grow. How do I find out what I should not focus on anymore? Of anything that has no direct impact on income generating?
Sam I sincerely relate to what you are telling us. However, this topic is sooo individual. People like Russell Brunson leverage everything you mentioned like ig stories, podcasts, events etc. And still remain the exponential growth. What do you think?
Great video. But that's not a pot plant. If that's what they said when you bought it or planted it, go get your money back or check out those seeds. Seriously, though, It's amazing how many weeds I find that I have to deal with before starting my projects, which comes from not being as organized in the first place. Things always come up, but sometimes most of my job is maintenance....especially when other people break things. Hell, maybe they're the weeds.
Check out the video and let me know what you think here in the comments?
Love it
You're the only business person I listen to
You can take L-theanine instead of meditation, check that please

"No no, no no no no no no no, no no no no no no no."-Sam Ovens
I agree 100% with him that saying no at the right time is very important. That's also why I will always say NONONONO to his 2K+ dollars courses :)
Carl Stetter so you are here to warn people. How very caring of you. I think most people are smarter than you.
The longer your hair gets, the more I trust you 😂
Damn Sam.
You just told me to eliminate everything I basically felt i needed to do to have a successful business.
But you boiled it down to four MAIN things:
1.Pick a niche (specific group of people) I'm interested/passionate, know a lot about, understand, or have experience with
2. Identify a painful problem this niche experiences that keeps them up at night stressed, worried, and/or feeling depressed, angry, this problem needs to be something they urgently want to solve
3. Solve that problem with my current skill set or one that I can develop and learn very quickly (Sounds like I'm their SAVIOR)
4.Sell that solution to the nasty problem back to my niche and GET THEM THE RESULT in exchange for money
That is SO SIMPLE its out of this world crazy to me...
Everything else is distraction and doesn't get me anywhere closer to growing and building my BUSINESS.
Thanks Sam! You're the GOAT!
Here is the question how do you reach your solution to this people
Alessandro Calcagni one thing you should do is don’t take everything Sam says so seriously. He isn’t the only person you should listen to.... Listen to your heart first and foremost.

Weeds that are stopping you from becoming the greatest version of yourself:
-Social Media
-Drugs & Alcohol
-Porn
-Gaming
-Aimless internet browsing
-Procrastinating
-Bad friends
Can you name any more weeds, what have I missed?
Listen to the views of people who have never realized anything
-news
-going out for food (have precooked meals for the day or just eat 2 large meals instead of 4 small ones)
-shopping (plan &batch your shopping, don't go out every time you need something).
-"just hanging out" (schedule your fun and make it multi-tasking... example: lunch w friends or workout w friends or bowling, etc... don't just sit around with friends doing nothing... its boring and a waste of time)
-youtube (unsubscribe from yt channels that don't provide value and stick to educational vids).
-Texting/Snapchat (Turn off notifications and check them two or three times a day... mealtime is a good time... multitask)
-Sleep deprivation (7 hours of sleep is necessary to maintain a high workload lifestyle... longterm is what matters).
-Junk food (time waster and bad for health/productivity and requires more exercise... total waste)
-email (for most people, once a day @ night time is optimal)
-parties (hangout while doing something physical or watch a movie together... multitask)
-chasing relationships (let it happen naturally, don't run around looking for one and keep partner on the same page so they understand your goals)
-Menial housework (errands) - batch that stuff and do it closer to the end of the day... work all day first and then... when you're mentally exhausted, do mindless chores with music or whatever to multitask and also get some movement before bedtime.
etc etc etc
Those are things that kill the plant more than weeds but yeah. I'd also add:
-College, in 85% of all cases
-News and TV
-Activism
-Shitposting and trolling
