Towards the end, I ask for YOUR help. What problems are you currently facing that you'd like to solve? I will personally be reading ALL of these comments and molding future content to best serve you. Let's hear it!!
Hi Sam, I feel like I am a bit capped lately, capped on my potential. I am having all the right habits and a morning routine, and my business, that I recently started is also going in the right direction. I know my situation is not an airtight argument, I could make it airtight, attending to all the nooks and crannies. I just don't know how to go about it, the foundation and basis is set, just not optimized to the degree I would it to be. To formulate the problem: Foundation is set, how do I attend the details to make it air tight? P.s. I also wear a cap to keep hair under control lol P.s.s. never mind you just answered my question in the video.
I don’t know whether to go the route of a course, agency, SAAS. I’m already making money doing DWY services and I’m not sure if I should go the education route or continue down the service route.
I never actually bought your course, but you have really changed my life for the better with your free content. I was really excited to see you come back with more videos. Thanks, Sam.
He did everything he said he was going to do in this video. No more ads, he built skool, he restructured his entire company, he is student obsessed now. He follows through
Watch his free video about self discipline . And also the one about " God vs the devil " weird title ....I know. But those 2 videos should do the trick trust me !
1. Lack of Ideas 2. Lack of Direction 3. How to manage depression and low moods (actionable methods) 4. How to stay consistent over a long period of time.
Sam Oven's principles: * Student Obsessed What is best for the students is what is best for everyone. * Laser Focused Keep the main thing the main thing... eliminated distractions. * High Standards Great just is not good enough. * Long-Term Thinking Make short-term sacrifices for long-term success. * Lean and Frugal Constraints breed resourcefulness... do more with less. * Be Scientific Reason from first principles... use data... test and iterate. * Go ALL in Commit fully... work hard... take initiative... get things done. * Full Transparency Be brutally honest and transparent... even if it hurts... it helps. * Question Everything Ask why and hold nothing sacred in pursuit of the truth. * Invent Impossible Does not exist does not stop us from inventing it.
Thanks SAM. I only have small amounts of time every day to work on my business outside of work and family. I would like advice on: -Making the most of limited time. -Feeling a sense of achievement despite the slow progress -setting goals
I remember how you said working a full time job and trying to build a business was extremely difficult. That's the order mold you're talking about. I stayed working my job for 3 years picking up shifts, living cheap and saved up money to quit and focus on it full time because I just couldn't shift from job mode to business mode. About a year and a half in you confirmed I was doing the right thing and that was when I really tightened expenses and worked more hours to stash savings. I just wish I had discovered you sooner.
Loving more of this down-to-earth vibe you're giving in the most recent videos. I like how you're sharing your learning process and the things you're experimenting with in your own life. This is really helpful and relevant content. One of my favorite channels on UA-cam at the moment. Thank you!
Thanks for the info Sam! I missed your videos . I’ve watched litteraly all your videos on your channel. A lot of times I’ll listen to them while driving or with headphones . I enjoy the massive value. The edited stuff was cool but simple is much better for everyone since at the end of the day we just love all the value you speak
Hey Jacob, You're on the right track. I say this because you're actually aware of the issue and your honest about it. What I'd do is I'd start journaling. The results won't be immediate but they will be worth it. Journaling gives you an outlet to become more self-aware and it's an easy way to track your behaviour. "What Gets Measured Gets Improved" Peter Drucker (Journaling is a way to measure your behaviour). What do I mean when I say it helps you become more self-aware? Over time journaling will help you become aware of any of your limiting beliefs/ behaviours. It will help you get clarity on where you're headed (vision) which in turn will help you with being motivated. Vision inspires action. It's why having goals is so useful. How to start... So to start what I recommend is that you get a decent notebook and a pen you enjoy writing with. Do this because it will make writing easier. You want to make this as easy as possible so you actually do it. The goal for the first 30- 90 days is to get it so journaling becomes a habit. That’s it. Just get a good notebook and a pen you enjoy writing with. What are you going to write about? It doesn’t matter. At this point I'd avoid structure. The main focus is to get it so you consistently sit down for a period of time and start writing. Write whatever you want when you’re sitting there pen in hand. We’re keeping this simple so you actually do it. It doesn’t matter what you write about because the important thing here that you go through the motions. The bigger picture here is that you’re building a habit that will serve you for the rest of your life. Handling Resistance... You may have some resistance to getting started. What this looks like will be questioning the usefulness of doing this or having doubt that it will even work. You might ask yourself why you’re even bothering. Understand that’s a limiting belief that’s holding you back. To overcome this all you have to do is…. ---think about what you’ll get from it. I’ve helped you here by giving you a list of reasons why journaling is useful. Do this because this will shift your focus on to why journaling is important. ----Use positive self- talk. Actual assert to yourself by saying out-loud to yourself something like: “I’m doing this because journaling is important.” ----Then actually follow-through and do it. By then doing the activity its sends a clear message to your brain that this is something that you prioritise. What this does is it replaces whatever your limiting belief is right now with the belief that journaling is useful and it’s worth doing. Now, if you're wondering if it actually works... It does. I've been doing it for probably 5+ years now. In that time I've completely shifted my behaviour from an unemployed couch potato to someone who gets up at 6 every morning and starting my own business. I haven't changed as a person my habits and behaviours did. Journaling was a key cornerstone in that. I hope this helps. Tobias
NinjightNationCorp I said on the right track because at least he’s being honest with himself and admitting some faults he’s currently facing. Too many people bull shit themselves and look for someone or something else to blame. Because he’s being honest he can then work from that as opposed to ignoring the elephant in the room and getting nowhere. I agree with the action oriented approach, however I disagree with caring about the outcome getting rid of procrastination. You can still procrastinate even if you care about the outcome- most students care about getting a good grade but a lot still procrastinate. What works is simplicity- when something seems bigger in your head there is more resistance. Therefore break it down and make simple and as a result more actionable. Lastly, I’d say journaling is a more practical form of meditating. It leaves you with something that you can then reflect on. (I’m not discounting the traditional kind- if you read Aldous Huxley doors to perception you’ll see there is a very practical reason to chanting and things like that).
You have been missed. I loved your Tuesday talks. Always so much value and intelligence that you dont find other places. I am glad that you are exploring new ideas and thinking differently. It benefits so many because you share your knowledge so kindly.
Glad to see your videos back again. I would love to see a video on "facing the music" where you share your strategies for facing fear head on. This is for sure my weakest area.
Hey Sam - Thank you for your truly great content. For me, I've been diving straight into my fears habitually for the last 5 years but every time I get an opportunity I get just stupid nervous and it seriously affects my performance for the first 30 seconds. After that I'm good. I've dug into breathing techniques, nlp, mind over matter stuff but I still blow the initial seconds.
Thank you Sam, for another great video. I do not remember how I came across your videos but you are one of my two favorite people (practical, useful well structured, easy to follow information) on UA-cam, the other is Peter Sage. I am 70 now and wish I had known more of this when I was 20. This information is very useful for many business owners as we tended to build a business, bust a gut, burn out, sell the business, spend the profit on a holiday to recuperate and then start the cycle all over. We never stop learning about ourselves!
Love this video Sam, was actually glad you took a break from making videos. You deliver a TON of value, and I can get just as burned out trying to ingest it all as I imagine you can get trying to produce it so regularly. Really excited about what you're learning, and grateful to be able to share your journey. The things I struggle with the most are procrastination, lack of discipline, and wasting time.
I fucken love you Sam. Your positive influence on the world goes far further than you can imagine (although in saying that, you probably can imagine it!). I have always enjoyed watching and following you, but more recently, as I have been furiously developing my business acumen, I have come to appreciate what you are doing on a much greater level. Yes, I'm talking about your strategic and macro moves. Your big-picture plays are truly inspiring when studied correctly and I have learned (and have much to learn) from you. Probably more than anyone, you would know that you have only just scratched the surface of your journey to helping this world and I'm so excited to learn more from your well thought-out, perfectly devised chess moves in the future. Keep doing what you're doing, but actively keep that mind of yours open to new possibilities. You're destined for huge, great things! I know you know it! Really I just wanted to say thank you for all you've done. Wishing you all the best as usual dude. From a big-futured 19 year old in New Zealand. Chur.
I love what you said about talking and doing. "If you talk about it, you feel some sort of satisfaction... and you do not want to do anything anymore..". So simply but so true.
True, you need to stop to evaluate yourself. I always do this like what did I do this week or month to level up my skills, or what should I do to make my contents betters.
I like what you say about starting a new S-curve at the top of the last one, as that represents stability though that would inevitably happen as a result of staying consistent over a long period of time noticing the “S-phases” consciously and learning how to work with them.
Great video my friend, super helpful info. The habits and challenges can be really hard to break/change. Congrats by the way on almost 70K, wow! Great work! :)
Dude that’s exactly what I’ve been going through in my business. Trying to break routine and pretty much become unproductive in order to improve creativity towards a new direction and model. You’re always spot on bro.
Sam Issues are as follows 1) Project Timing / organization 2) Hiring and managing my team 3) Grit/ discipline Ps. Get a good Android phone , then judge ;)😜
Hey Sam, thanks for the update! Sounds like some good stuff ahead. My problem is how do I start and maintain focus. The thing that keeps me up at night is that I can't get good momentum until I have created an optimal working environment. And that is where I am right now.
Thanks Sam! I would love to hear you talk about on how to get more order into life. I'm THE chaos guy. I used to rely on will power to do things, but I heard that will power is limited and one needs rules and habits instead. So now I don't even use will power much. Your video where you talk about logging time for a week helped a little, I even managed to log for a week, but it didn't change much... I have no idea what kind of advice I need on how to become more ordered. P.S. Congratulations on your new project! I know it's going to be Awesome! Thanks again.
So Wonderful to have Sam back ! The Sam I know and totally enjoy ! Great Video thanks Sam !! Delighted to hear that the last video was a one off experiment, and so looking forward to regular great weekly videos, yee-hah !! Just cannot figure what is the best direction forward for my life. Helping people grow business really draws me, but really want to be involved in something that provides deep meaningful spiritual well-being and life for all involved - not just end of day consumerism.
Hey Sam thanks for this video, you’re now really showing your true mission about being student obsessed and people can feel it in your words. I want your experience/advice on how to choose / read or listen to great books and what are the best times and what are the most effective ways to do so. No one so far has published an actual great process to do that.
Hi Sam, Amazing content - Thanks for that ! The problem I'm facing is a decision problem, it spills all over the areas of my business. Thanks again Sam.
Loving the hair bro but besides that, awesome video. Sometimes order becomes routine and routine creates boredom and complacency which leads to ineffective thought process and chaos disrupts that. Finding the balance is the ultimate goal. Thanks again for this.🤙🏽
Thank you for this video and all you do Sam. I've been struggling trying to decide if I should focus on making the videos I've been making or focus on the advertising side, even though I have a ton of organic traffic. You read my mind once again
Hey Sam, I'm in the accelerator program and I think it's amazing. What I struggle with is feedback loops and pattern of existence. And managing a job while doing digital marketing. Thank you
Well i was feeling so incredibly unproductive during the change period I am.in. This video is so on point on what I needed to hear. I can now feel free in my unproductiveness. I have come up with ideas I am also building my team. Thank you so much. The question /fear of mine is when you get into structure again but I guess the answer is just plain self control 😅
I kept you and other few on my list but you are on the top know .. ur content are gold .. u r facebooks when I enter it is better than going to books and at the same I am reading the books that u r recommending litter ly Gold .. I even recompensed you to the biggest book store on my country ..
intersting changes sam; appreciate you continuing to upload and share this material ! .. the concept you discuss , i think charles koch in his book good profit, called that concept creative destruction... throwing out the old way completely for something new and fully completely revolutionary .... good luck ! -Rafif
Hey Sam, thanks for this video packed with value as usual. I would like you to talk more about your Recruitment Process, I watched the previous video where you talked a little about the way you approached it, the little you shared was quite insightful but it'd be great if you could do a more in-depth video on the systems and processes you use in recruiting.
Hey Sam, thanks for your honesty and your content. I find a ton of value out of it and am one such person who hasn't bought your course YET. One, out of the many topics, I loved was the "billionaire mind" anf the building blocks. Specifically, the foundational piece. If all things we need to learn sit on foundations and layerd, I'd like to learn more about strengthening each layer individually. I know in your paid programme you do talks about "the devil", that which wiped us out from the inside. So I know you cover that, but that's what I'd like to learn more about. The foundational layers. Cheers brother, Jude
Thanks for the awesome video! I struggle with effective planing. I get a lot of things done but I'm not sure if they are really important and moving me forward long term but also paying my bills short term. Switching from working mode to overviewing the whole picture and choosing the right things
Hey Sam. One of my biggest problems as an entrepreneur is just going through the process of speaking to the market, getting the attention of business owners and having the confidence to do it everyday. Thanks.
This is so awesome Sam, really excited to see the new direction you're taking Consulting.com. Your consulting program changed my life and shifted my paradigm. Now, you're shifting it again. Now you've got me pondering thing about advertising, but it makes sense. "Content is king", and maybe it's the best way to position yourself going forward as an expert that people go to, instead of you paying to show up in front of them. But that leads to a question that's plaguing me, and something I know you're thinking a lot about: without advertising, what is this new paradigm going forward that will become more valuable than paid advertising? Because people can't just be expected to show up at your doorstep. Across many industries we still have to "go to" the customer, much like you say "go to their level" and "get on their wavelength" to reach them. My mind is boggled trying to imagine the newest S curve you'll be going through but I can't wait to watch and learn like I always do. Thanks again Sam.
Thanks for the video Sam. Here's what cripples me - How to give up or abandon what you already have to go the next level. Its hard to let go of what you've achieved and shatter it yourself, even deep down you know it's gonna be for the better. But there's a lot risk and walking out of comfort zone. Whether it be beginners who want to quit their job to go full time, or like becker who dump all business and focuses on markethero. At every stage it happens that what brings you here won't bring you there. Its similar to the chaos think that u have mentioned. Reinvite them and create a new S curve. I would love to hear your atomic breakdown on the psychology, science and strategy behind how that could be done. How to ingrain that, so we can keep shatter ourselves and go to the next level.
Sam, love your thoughts and the new changes. But please never ever stop sharing the life and business lessons with us. I have considered you as my mentor for life. Your picture is on my phone background, my laptop background, my wall next to the bed, etc. Helps me keep the main thing, the main thing.
i was about to troll on this comment, but after i read ur user name i realised u actually meant what u wrote. Thats whats up man, This man is a diamond in the rough and im glad he shares his knowledge with us. P.s. those that follow Sam understand why the user name made me change my mind.
Because of this "Your picture is on my phone background, my laptop background, my wall next to the bed, etc." thats something u see on Musician's pages. So i kind of thought u were trolling Sam by saying that, so i noticed ur username and was like nah, this person is actually Legit. my bad , i left the comment because ur comment was a great one.
I want to work with you, be in your team... I won't say what I'm good at, but I can say that I'm learning Digital Marketing and couple other things... I spend my night learning and morning implementing what I've learned the past night! I really get inspired from you! The mindset section in consulting accelerator literally changed me! I've studied a lot of courses about different businesses but I couldn't find any better course than yours in your niche... thank you very much!
Hey Sam, glad you’re back. Video suggestion would be to talk about how to find staff and train them up. Doesn’t matter which industry we’re in hiring staff is always the hardest thing. I run a patisserie manufacturing company/online store and finding staff is definitely the hardest thing. Even finding a “good” cleaner is hard to find. I’ve asked a lot of business owners what their struggles are and staff is always on the top of the list. Your help/advice on hiring would be awesome. Thanks
About adversitising x content value... I have just heard this following quote from the guy behind the scenes of the most successful launch campaigns: "The more people watch your videos and DON'T buy your stuff, the more people WILL buy your stuff" He calls it the paradox of content. It alligns a lot with what you said about the weekly videos.
Sam ure right at 38:20 the weekly blogs deff help ur Business out because of the FREE knowledge u give out, and if uve noticed they get more views than the interviews, we appreciate ur transparency and talking about the numbers. Please keep the weekly blogs flowing, i used to look forward to every Tuesday, u messed up my routine :D . but i deff get ur point on why Chaos is good, it makes u step away and look at ur business from an outsider's perspective and see what u can kind of change.
I want to tell you that I like the new Sam Ovens with long hair, fewer gimmicks, more education and giving us a glimpse of how your mind works. This is quality content, and I see why it converts more than cheesy ads (which is how I discovered you, btw!). You are helping me get clear from a very chaotic brain. Thank you!
Eternally grateful for your videos. My biggest challenge is: when happiness to you means Success + Social Life (Friends, Girlfriend), how to find the right balance between both. I work 20 hours a day, but I'm 19, and the loneliness of entrepreneurship can be extreme... Much appreciated, Sam.
I really like the way you change small things to break habits. The challenge im currently facing is trying to grow a business while struggling with cashflow which pushes me to only think short term trying to grasp at the next weeks wages rather than thinking long term.
Knowing that passion is essence for success but not knowing what I'm obsessed about because I have more than one obsession or just recently my obsession changed and it keeps changing periodically
Hey Sam, glad that you're making these again. They bring me a lot of value. The question I have is this: How does one balance the need to be self-critical with the equally important factor of being confident in one's own abilities and able to move forward? I know that the right answer is some balance of the two but I haven't found it yet. If I build myself up too much in my head I become complacent. If I am totally critical of everything I do, I don't do anything. What's the resolution between these two extremes ?
Yep I converted from your UA-cam content as well. I heard Iman Ghadzi mention your mastermind in a video last fall and then watched your mastermind video, then every other video. then joined the program a couple of months later. Already have clients and results. So thanks!
The biggest change I saw here was you asking us to subscribe - I remember a video of you saying people asking you to subscribe is them stealing your time, now it's you! Ha - but i get it and love your content, straight forward and valuable. For me, i'd love to see a video breaking down decision-making and thinking differently. Cheers
Integrating business and purpose/creativity - it seems like they are opposite poles such as order & chaos. There’s an internal conflict in myself between producing art and making a business out of it. Each requires a significant shift in mindset.
My big problems in business & life: -Struggling to generate enough leads and show them how well I can help them. -Struggling to cut down all distractions and make necessary responsibilities hyper-efficient. -Lack of accountability on my personal goals -Spending too much time distracted by emotional pain or doubts without knowing how to resolve them quickly and get back to work.
I'm in that building phase and it 100% DOES HAPPEN, you tell people about it, they ask when it's going to be done, you say a date you have in mind, then you're late to it. I'm in the late part. But some time ago I told my friends I won't tell them about it anymore until I have "the locomotive running" well. You know, in case it flops. Also I thought I was just bad at timing and meeting deadlines in general, but you said it takes A LOT of effort to get it running (totally agree) and you miss your own deadlines, so I hope it's just for now. BTW aren't you afraid someone will "take" your idea?
Sam- Thank you- love this one. Your content has radically changed our approach to business- As a creatives in business, you showed us that we under-valued the importance of documenting and creating systems- and over valued "new" (read shiny objects) - we now understand we need both- but in proper ratios. In marketing- your teaching to look for a specific need (problem to solve) before trying to sell a service has been a world changer for us. That is why I was really excited to hear you mention that you are creating a space that is forest themed for your new offices- as this is what our team specializes in - and finally gives us the opportunity to give back to you. We build commercial themed environments. (You can see our most recent trees at Museum of the Bible in DC in the exhibit featuring Nazareth on the story floor of the museum) We would love to offer our services to you at cost- as a thank you for the value you have brought to our lives. If this is something that would be helpful to you please email me personally at artistnate@gmail.com
I really appreciate the analogies Guru-Team leader / Order - Chaos. That increases my ability to describe and diagnose my own client issues, and speak to them in simple terms. This stuff is high value to me. My biggest challenge is my low self-esteem, it limits me as I perfect things and I am afraid that I keep take too long to reach the next level of play. My stuff is way overkill most of the time.
Hi Sam. Great video. Thank you for the valuable content. Biggest problem/dilemma I have at the moment is achieving "success in the workplace". I have gone for a few promotions in the last 2 years and it hasn't gone my way. Yes, I know it may be an issue with execution and performance ( I have consciously worked in this a fair bit) but equally how do I really know if this if this is the path I'm suppose to go on. I'm aware that failures is where we learn the most but when do you cut your losses and take another avanue. I recently watched your video about doing what we love and finding what we are passionate about and this helped me immensely on this topic. Not sure if your answer will repeat the advice from your "love" vid but thought I would ask anyway. Thanks again Sam. Danny.👍
I struggle being inside and working at the computer a lot. I like to get outside and exercise - but I'm getting more regular with it. Also finding a good and consistent environment to work at.
Perfect timing Sam! Was going through accelerator today. Niche selection has been the biggest challenge for a lot of students because as you go through life, you gain experience in many different areas. However, most people do not specialize in one given area. That said it took me over 12 months to finally fuse 2 niches together into one within the health and fitness industry. Perhaps updating accelerator with a "choosing your niche 3.0" where there's a deeper discussion about niche fusion or micro-niching would help but niche selection is definitely a big one. Side note - I noticed a lot of students defaulting to Facebook ads for XYZ clients, however, have no passion or love in that. I was one of those people for a long timeframe have recently switch gears.
Agreed. I've been struggling to find my niche for 7 months and I've just defaulted to "doing ads" which I won't take action on probably because I don't really want to "do ads"
I did the same. Nothing really gets my attention or passion for long. Multiple niches have popped up and seemed good but after some research and time, I lost interest. Ended up thinking "ehh someone else can do it, I'm not that interested" So I defaulted to doing ads for a few companies just to make some cash until I have a better idea of what I actually have a passion for. I think I purchased your course a year ago and never picked a niche.
Knowing whether the thing you're building is exactly what people want, niche validation I guess. Second thing, knowing whether the next move I'm making in my business is going to be big enough to get us up to the next level.
I totally agree with your synthesis. I have rotated between roller coaster like phases between order and chaos peaking in one over a long time before the other with many smaller peaks and valleys in the interim. When peaking in order realizing what you’re saying here seeing the value of the other side, and letting that show its flaws to have both full spectrums of universes to harmonize them into one like the state of conception for a prenatal fetus in its first week in the womb, where the first cells multiplying look like two worlds colliding.
Hey Sam, a business friend put me on to you recently, and I'm in extreme gratitude of your content and your realness. I'm in year 3 of running my own online coaching business, achieving great results for my clients (also run retreats), and the main challenges I am facing are: 1. Acquiring (enough) new clients 2. Charging enough per client (undervaluing myself) 3. Stuck in a soloprenuer mindset - unsure / anxious about creating a team as I can't afford it right now, and in all honesty, I have no need for one yet, but I don't want to stay stuck playing a small solo game either as I want to be able to scale (something) eventually. 4. Unsure if I'm conveying my message clearly enough / crafting offers 5. Copywriting to convert sales Thank-you kindly in advanced for any actionable advice you can offer. Megan
A great Analogy for Order from Choas is the Caldini plate, where switching from a lower Frequency to higher causes a change in the established order, choas in the transitionphase to establish a new higher form.
Sam, great video as ever. Are you planning on returning to your routine? Also does the off the wall decoration of your future office space go against everything you've said in relation to things that don't/shouldn't really matter? Thanks.
Glad to hear you are gonna upload new videos! Good leadership and team management is something I struggle with. I find it difficult to impose something on people and then to check and criticize them. Do you have some tips from your own experience or can you recommend some books / exercises?
It was interesting listening to someone apparently rediscover the BCG Experience Curve on his own. BTW relative market share and value-added chain may also be handy ideas.
Towards the end, I ask for YOUR help. What problems are you currently facing that you'd like to solve? I will personally be reading ALL of these comments and molding future content to best serve you. Let's hear it!!
Yes I was waiting finnally
Hi Sam,
I feel like I am a bit capped lately, capped on my potential. I am having all the right habits and a morning routine, and my business, that I recently started is also going in the right direction. I know my situation is not an airtight argument, I could make it airtight, attending to all the nooks and crannies. I just don't know how to go about it, the foundation and basis is set, just not optimized to the degree I would it to be.
To formulate the problem:
Foundation is set, how do I attend the details to make it air tight?
P.s. I also wear a cap to keep hair under control lol
P.s.s. never mind you just answered my question in the video.
I don’t know whether to go the route of a course, agency, SAAS. I’m already making money doing DWY services and I’m not sure if I should go the education route or continue down the service route.
I never actually bought your course, but you have really changed my life for the better with your free content. I was really excited to see you come back with more videos. Thanks, Sam.
Hey Sam, the S curl reminds me of the The Innovacion acceptance saturation sequence
He did everything he said he was going to do in this video. No more ads, he built skool, he restructured his entire company, he is student obsessed now. He follows through
Biggest problem is Procrastination & just having a hard time actually wanting to do the work. Please make a video on this thank you!
I think the video he did titled "Death by a 1000 cuts" talks on what you're referring to. Check it out. one of BEST videos on the Weekly blogs series.
Try mediation
His second week in consulting accelerator is literally just that
Watch his free video about self discipline . And also the one about " God vs the devil " weird title ....I know. But those 2 videos should do the trick trust me !
I think you don't know what you actually want. If you know that, you don't need to look for motivation. The work itself will be motivating.
1. Lack of Ideas
2. Lack of Direction
3. How to manage depression and low moods (actionable methods)
4. How to stay consistent over a long period of time.
Man I just want to told you that I love your channel and that you inspired me to do the same in France. I hope all is alright for you !
3. Read Letting Go by David Hawkins.
@@Noah_SMMA Love it Noah! Thank you so much for sharing. Never give up! I'm so proud of you for starting.
@@ZachWeiss Thank you man !

I only have small amounts of time every day to work on my business outside of work and family.
I would like advice on:
-Making the most of limited time.
-Feeling a sense of achievement despite the slow progress
-setting goals
I remember how you said working a full time job and trying to build a business was extremely difficult. That's the order mold you're talking about. I stayed working my job for 3 years picking up shifts, living cheap and saved up money to quit and focus on it full time because I just couldn't shift from job mode to business mode. About a year and a half in you confirmed I was doing the right thing and that was when I really tightened expenses and worked more hours to stash savings. I just wish I had discovered you sooner.
How’s it going Ben?
Loving more of this down-to-earth vibe you're giving in the most recent videos. I like how you're sharing your learning process and the things you're experimenting with in your own life. This is really helpful and relevant content. One of my favorite channels on UA-cam at the moment. Thank you!
Thanks for the info Sam! I missed your videos . I’ve watched litteraly all your videos on your channel. A lot of times I’ll listen to them while driving or with headphones . I enjoy the massive value.
The edited stuff was cool but simple is much better for everyone since at the end of the day we just love all the value you speak
Inconsistancy and only having bursts of energy to do things but after that laziness settles in and the cycle repeats.
Jacob Ovando I got this as well
@Ivan Prats yeah but sometimes this helps.
Hey Jacob, You're on the right track. I say this because you're actually aware of the issue and your honest about it. What I'd do is I'd start journaling. The results won't be immediate but they will be worth it.
Journaling gives you an outlet to become more self-aware and it's an easy way to track your behaviour.
"What Gets Measured Gets Improved" Peter Drucker (Journaling is a way to measure your behaviour).
What do I mean when I say it helps you become more self-aware?
Over time journaling will help you become aware of any of your limiting beliefs/ behaviours. It will help you get clarity on where you're headed (vision) which in turn will help you with being motivated. Vision inspires action. It's why having goals is so useful.
How to start...
So to start what I recommend is that you get a decent notebook and a pen you enjoy writing with.
Do this because it will make writing easier. You want to make this as easy as possible so you actually do it.
The goal for the first 30- 90 days is to get it so journaling becomes a habit. That’s it.
Just get a good notebook and a pen you enjoy writing with.
What are you going to write about?
It doesn’t matter. At this point I'd avoid structure. The main focus is to get it so you consistently sit down for a period of time and start writing. Write whatever you want when you’re sitting there pen in hand. We’re keeping this simple so you actually do it. It doesn’t matter what you write about because the important thing here that you go through the motions. The bigger picture here is that you’re building a habit that will serve you for the rest of your life.
Handling Resistance...
You may have some resistance to getting started. What this looks like will be questioning the usefulness of doing this or having doubt that it will even work. You might ask yourself why you’re even bothering.
Understand that’s a limiting belief that’s holding you back.
To overcome this all you have to do is….
---think about what you’ll get from it. I’ve helped you here by giving you a list of reasons why journaling is useful. Do this because this will shift your focus on to why journaling is important.
----Use positive self- talk. Actual assert to yourself by saying out-loud to yourself something like: “I’m doing this because journaling is important.”
----Then actually follow-through and do it. By then doing the activity its sends a clear message to your brain that this is something that you prioritise.
What this does is it replaces whatever your limiting belief is right now with the belief that journaling is useful and it’s worth doing.
Now, if you're wondering if it actually works... It does.
I've been doing it for probably 5+ years now. In that time I've completely shifted my behaviour from an unemployed couch potato to someone who gets up at 6 every morning and starting my own business. I haven't changed as a person my habits and behaviours did. Journaling was a key cornerstone in that.
I hope this helps.
Tobias
@@tob1as13 thank you
NinjightNationCorp I said on the right track because at least he’s being honest with himself and admitting some faults he’s currently facing. Too many people bull shit themselves and look for someone or something else to blame. Because he’s being honest he can then work from that as opposed to ignoring the elephant in the room and getting nowhere. I agree with the action oriented approach, however I disagree with caring about the outcome getting rid of procrastination. You can still procrastinate even if you care about the outcome- most students care about getting a good grade but a lot still procrastinate. What works is simplicity- when something seems bigger in your head there is more resistance. Therefore break it down and make simple and as a result more actionable.
Lastly, I’d say journaling is a more practical form of meditating. It leaves you with something that you can then reflect on. (I’m not discounting the traditional kind- if you read Aldous Huxley doors to perception you’ll see there is a very practical reason to chanting and things like that).
Great to see you back Sam! I’m currently going through a similar phase hair and all. Thanks for the video it inspired me to stay true to my path.
You have been missed. I loved your Tuesday talks. Always so much value and intelligence that you dont find other places. I am glad that you are exploring new ideas and thinking differently. It benefits so many because you share your knowledge so kindly.
Definitely something I was wondering. Thanks for the ever continuing value.
I learn so much from these blog videos, please keep them coming
Glad to see your videos back again. I would love to see a video on "facing the music" where you share your strategies for facing fear head on. This is for sure my weakest area.
I have your picture on my wall, and your quotes are always on my mind, never stop producing content for us bro!
So true - I'm obsessed with your videos because I learn so much from them.
Hey Sam - Thank you for your truly great content. For me, I've been diving straight into my fears habitually for the last 5 years but every time I get an opportunity I get just stupid nervous and it seriously affects my performance for the first 30 seconds. After that I'm good. I've dug into breathing techniques, nlp, mind over matter stuff but I still blow the initial seconds.
Thank you Sam, for another great video. I do not remember how I came across your videos but you are one of my two favorite people (practical, useful well structured, easy to follow information) on UA-cam, the other is Peter Sage. I am 70 now and wish I had known more of this when I was 20. This information is very useful for many business owners as we tended to build a business, bust a gut, burn out, sell the business, spend the profit on a holiday to recuperate and then start the cycle all over. We never stop learning about ourselves!
Love this video Sam, was actually glad you took a break from making videos. You deliver a TON of value, and I can get just as burned out trying to ingest it all as I imagine you can get trying to produce it so regularly.
Really excited about what you're learning, and grateful to be able to share your journey.
The things I struggle with the most are procrastination, lack of discipline, and wasting time.
I fucken love you Sam. Your positive influence on the world goes far further than you can imagine (although in saying that, you probably can imagine it!).
I have always enjoyed watching and following you, but more recently, as I have been furiously developing my business acumen, I have come to appreciate what you are doing on a much greater level. Yes, I'm talking about your strategic and macro moves.
Your big-picture plays are truly inspiring when studied correctly and I have learned (and have much to learn) from you.
Probably more than anyone, you would know that you have only just scratched the surface of your journey to helping this world and I'm so excited to learn more from your well thought-out, perfectly devised chess moves in the future. Keep doing what you're doing, but actively keep that mind of yours open to new possibilities. You're destined for huge, great things! I know you know it!
Really I just wanted to say thank you for all you've done.
Wishing you all the best as usual dude.
From a big-futured 19 year old in New Zealand. Chur.
I love what you said about talking and doing. "If you talk about it, you feel some sort of satisfaction... and you do not want to do anything anymore..". So simply but so true.
True, you need to stop to evaluate yourself. I always do this like what did I do this week or month to level up my skills, or what should I do to make my contents betters.
I like what you say about starting a new S-curve at the top of the last one, as that represents stability though that would inevitably happen as a result of staying consistent over a long period of time noticing the “S-phases” consciously and learning how to work with them.
Holy Shit, i just realized this is all like one take. No cuts.
Great stuff man. Something I need help with is pushing through the tuff times. Getting through the difficult parts.
Great video my friend, super helpful info. The habits and challenges can be really hard to break/change. Congrats by the way on almost 70K, wow! Great work! :)
Thanks for letting us know about your hair strategy Sam! 😙😂😁 I got my popcorn ready!
Dude that’s exactly what I’ve been going through in my business. Trying to break routine and pretty much become unproductive in order to improve creativity towards a new direction and model. You’re always spot on bro.
Sam Issues are as follows
1) Project Timing / organization
2) Hiring and managing my team
3) Grit/ discipline
Ps. Get a good Android phone , then judge ;)😜
Yeeees!! The goat is back! Haven't watched the video and I'm commenting already!
everything you said were so spot on, thanks.
Hey Sam, thanks for the update! Sounds like some good stuff ahead.
My problem is how do I start and maintain focus.
The thing that keeps me up at night is that I can't get good momentum until I have created an optimal working environment.
And that is where I am right now.
Thanks Sam! I would love to hear you talk about on how to get more order into life. I'm THE chaos guy. I used to rely on will power to do things, but I heard that will power is limited and one needs rules and habits instead. So now I don't even use will power much. Your video where you talk about logging time for a week helped a little, I even managed to log for a week, but it didn't change much... I have no idea what kind of advice I need on how to become more ordered. P.S. Congratulations on your new project! I know it's going to be Awesome! Thanks again.
So Wonderful to have Sam back ! The Sam I know and totally enjoy ! Great Video thanks Sam !! Delighted to hear that the last video was a one off experiment, and so looking forward to regular great weekly videos, yee-hah !!
Just cannot figure what is the best direction forward for my life. Helping people grow business really draws me, but really want to be involved in something that provides deep meaningful spiritual well-being and life for all involved - not just end of day consumerism.
Hey Sam thanks for this video, you’re now really showing your true mission about being student obsessed and people can feel it in your words. I want your experience/advice on how to choose / read or listen to great books and what are the best times and what are the most effective ways to do so. No one so far has published an actual great process to do that.
Wonderful video, Sam, thanks :)
Hi Sam, Amazing content - Thanks for that !
The problem I'm facing is a decision problem, it spills all over the areas of my business.
Thanks again Sam.
Loving the hair bro but besides that, awesome video. Sometimes order becomes routine and routine creates boredom and complacency which leads to ineffective thought process and chaos disrupts that. Finding the balance is the ultimate goal. Thanks again for this.🤙🏽
Im happy to see you like this. I was worrying you were becoming too rigid. Greatest power comes from mobility, yet grounded with moral values
Thank you for this video and all you do Sam. I've been struggling trying to decide if I should focus on making the videos I've been making or focus on the advertising side, even though I have a ton of organic traffic. You read my mind once again
Thank you Sam, great uodate!
Hey Sam, I'm in the accelerator program and I think it's amazing. What I struggle with is feedback loops and pattern of existence. And managing a job while doing digital marketing. Thank you
Well i was feeling so incredibly unproductive during the change period I am.in. This video is so on point on what I needed to hear. I can now feel free in my unproductiveness. I have come up with ideas I am also building my team. Thank you so much. The question /fear of mine is when you get into structure again but I guess the answer is just plain self control 😅
Great video Sam! Happy to hear they’ve returned.
My biggest problem is building a bad ass team
I loved the last videos lol, proving once more that chaos triumphs
Actually I think the last video was awesome! Also this one has a pretty interesting approach. Thank you Sam
Genius. Thank you Sam!
Great to have you back!
I kept you and other few on my list but you are on the top know .. ur content are gold .. u r facebooks when I enter it is better than going to books and at the same I am reading the books that u r recommending litter ly Gold .. I even recompensed you to the biggest book store on my country ..
intersting changes sam; appreciate you continuing to upload and share this material ! .. the concept you discuss , i think charles koch in his book good profit, called that concept creative destruction... throwing out the old way completely for something new and fully completely revolutionary .... good luck ! -Rafif
Hey Sam, thanks for this video packed with value as usual. I would like you to talk more about your Recruitment Process, I watched the previous video where you talked a little about the way you approached it, the little you shared was quite insightful but it'd be great if you could do a more in-depth video on the systems and processes you use in recruiting.
Hey Sam, I'd love to see a weekly update on what's your thinking about. That could even be a quick recap at the end of each video.
Awesome thanks Sam!
Lack of discipline, not working as much as I should
Than may be you should stop watching this UA-cam videos and stard doing something ??
Man, great vídeo! I would love your perspective on building a great team
Hey Sam, thanks for your honesty and your content. I find a ton of value out of it and am one such person who hasn't bought your course YET.
One, out of the many topics, I loved was the "billionaire mind" anf the building blocks. Specifically, the foundational piece.
If all things we need to learn sit on foundations and layerd, I'd like to learn more about strengthening each layer individually.
I know in your paid programme you do talks about "the devil", that which wiped us out from the inside. So I know you cover that, but that's what I'd like to learn more about. The foundational layers.
Cheers brother,
Jude
Thanks for the awesome video! I struggle with effective planing. I get a lot of things done but I'm not sure if they are really important and moving me forward long term but also paying my bills short term. Switching from working mode to overviewing the whole picture and choosing the right things
You should check out the Accelerator. Send me a message if you want a discount on it.
Hey Sam. One of my biggest problems as an entrepreneur is just going through the process of speaking to the market, getting the attention of business owners and having the confidence to do it everyday. Thanks.
This is so awesome Sam, really excited to see the new direction you're taking Consulting.com. Your consulting program changed my life and shifted my paradigm. Now, you're shifting it again.
Now you've got me pondering thing about advertising, but it makes sense. "Content is king", and maybe it's the best way to position yourself going forward as an expert that people go to, instead of you paying to show up in front of them. But that leads to a question that's plaguing me, and something I know you're thinking a lot about: without advertising, what is this new paradigm going forward that will become more valuable than paid advertising? Because people can't just be expected to show up at your doorstep. Across many industries we still have to "go to" the customer, much like you say "go to their level" and "get on their wavelength" to reach them. My mind is boggled trying to imagine the newest S curve you'll be going through but I can't wait to watch and learn like I always do.
Thanks again Sam.
Thanks for the video Sam. Here's what cripples me - How to give up or abandon what you already have to go the next level. Its hard to let go of what you've achieved and shatter it yourself, even deep down you know it's gonna be for the better. But there's a lot risk and walking out of comfort zone. Whether it be beginners who want to quit their job to go full time, or like becker who dump all business and focuses on markethero. At every stage it happens that what brings you here won't bring you there. Its similar to the chaos think that u have mentioned. Reinvite them and create a new S curve. I would love to hear your atomic breakdown on the psychology, science and strategy behind how that could be done. How to ingrain that, so we can keep shatter ourselves and go to the next level.
Everything was going great and now I'm in chaos! I am trying to think of what I can change and my next motive and project. TBD
Sam, love your thoughts and the new changes. But please never ever stop sharing the life and business lessons with us. I have considered you as my mentor for life. Your picture is on my phone background, my laptop background, my wall next to the bed, etc. Helps me keep the main thing, the main thing.
i was about to troll on this comment, but after i read ur user name i realised u actually meant what u wrote. Thats whats up man, This man is a diamond in the rough and im glad he shares his knowledge with us. P.s. those that follow Sam understand why the user name made me change my mind.
WeddingVideographyTips why were you about to troll on this comment anyways? I’m Sams student in his course and resonate with him in every video.
Because of this "Your picture is on my phone background, my laptop background, my wall next to the bed, etc." thats something u see on Musician's pages. So i kind of thought u were trolling Sam by saying that, so i noticed ur username and was like nah, this person is actually Legit. my bad , i left the comment because ur comment was a great one.
WeddingVideographyTips haha yeah that username is definitely proof of it.
I want to work with you, be in your team... I won't say what I'm good at, but I can say that I'm learning Digital Marketing and couple other things... I spend my night learning and morning implementing what I've learned the past night! I really get inspired from you! The mindset section in consulting accelerator literally changed me! I've studied a lot of courses about different businesses but I couldn't find any better course than yours in your niche... thank you very much!
Welcome back! It's funny we have both been in the same Creative Mode since around the same time, part of it is Astrology related. Great Video Sam.
Great video.
Hey Sam, glad you’re back. Video suggestion would be to talk about how to find staff and train them up. Doesn’t matter which industry we’re in hiring staff is always the hardest thing. I run a patisserie manufacturing company/online store and finding staff is definitely the hardest thing. Even finding a “good” cleaner is hard to find. I’ve asked a lot of business owners what their struggles are and staff is always on the top of the list. Your help/advice on hiring would be awesome. Thanks
About adversitising x content value...
I have just heard this following quote from the guy behind the scenes of the most successful launch campaigns:
"The more people watch your videos and DON'T buy your stuff, the more people WILL buy your stuff"
He calls it the paradox of content. It alligns a lot with what you said about the weekly videos.
Sam ure right at 38:20 the weekly blogs deff help ur Business out because of the FREE knowledge u give out, and if uve noticed they get more views than the interviews, we appreciate ur transparency and talking about the numbers. Please keep the weekly blogs flowing, i used to look forward to every Tuesday, u messed up my routine :D . but i deff get ur point on why Chaos is good, it makes u step away and look at ur business from an outsider's perspective and see what u can kind of change.
Great Tips!
I want to tell you that I like the new Sam Ovens with long hair, fewer gimmicks, more education and giving us a glimpse of how your mind works. This is quality content, and I see why it converts more than cheesy ads (which is how I discovered you, btw!). You are helping me get clear from a very chaotic brain. Thank you!
Eternally grateful for your videos. My biggest challenge is: when happiness to you means Success + Social Life (Friends, Girlfriend), how to find the right balance between both. I work 20 hours a day, but I'm 19, and the loneliness of entrepreneurship can be extreme... Much appreciated, Sam.
I really like the way you change small things to break habits. The challenge im currently facing is trying to grow a business while struggling with cashflow which pushes me to only think short term trying to grasp at the next weeks wages rather than thinking long term.
Hi Sam . My feedback is make some videos on your knowledge on Human Psychology in business . Thanks for giving exceptional value thru your videos.
Hey Sam! Great video, definitely these are my favourite.
My question for you is: How do disrupt an existing market?
Knowing that passion is essence for success but not knowing what I'm obsessed about because I have more than one obsession or just recently my obsession changed and it keeps changing periodically
Hey Sam, glad that you're making these again. They bring me a lot of value.
The question I have is this: How does one balance the need to be self-critical with the equally important factor of being confident in one's own abilities and able to move forward?
I know that the right answer is some balance of the two but I haven't found it yet. If I build myself up too much in my head I become complacent. If I am totally critical of everything I do, I don't do anything.
What's the resolution between these two extremes ?
Yep I converted from your UA-cam content as well. I heard Iman Ghadzi mention your mastermind in a video last fall and then watched your mastermind video, then every other video. then joined the program a couple of months later. Already have clients and results. So thanks!
Ezra Frazier same.. I know Sam because of iman gadzhi
True! Haha
The biggest change I saw here was you asking us to subscribe - I remember a video of you saying people asking you to subscribe is them stealing your time, now it's you! Ha - but i get it and love your content, straight forward and valuable. For me, i'd love to see a video breaking down decision-making and thinking differently. Cheers
Integrating business and purpose/creativity - it seems like they are opposite poles such as order & chaos.
There’s an internal conflict in myself between producing art and making a business out of it. Each requires a significant shift in mindset.
My big problems in business & life:
-Struggling to generate enough leads and show them how well I can help them.
-Struggling to cut down all distractions and make necessary responsibilities hyper-efficient.
-Lack of accountability on my personal goals
-Spending too much time distracted by emotional pain or doubts without knowing how to resolve them quickly and get back to work.
I'm in that building phase and it 100% DOES HAPPEN, you tell people about it, they ask when it's going to be done, you say a date you have in mind, then you're late to it. I'm in the late part. But some time ago I told my friends I won't tell them about it anymore until I have "the locomotive running" well. You know, in case it flops.
Also I thought I was just bad at timing and meeting deadlines in general, but you said it takes A LOT of effort to get it running (totally agree) and you miss your own deadlines, so I hope it's just for now.
BTW aren't you afraid someone will "take" your idea?
Sam- Thank you- love this one. Your content has radically changed our approach to business- As a creatives in business, you showed us that we under-valued the importance of documenting and creating systems- and over valued "new" (read shiny objects) - we now understand we need both- but in proper ratios. In marketing- your teaching to look for a specific need (problem to solve) before trying to sell a service has been a world changer for us.
That is why I was really excited to hear you mention that you are creating a space that is forest themed for your new offices- as this is what our team specializes in - and finally gives us the opportunity to give back to you. We build commercial themed environments. (You can see our most recent trees at Museum of the Bible in DC in the exhibit featuring Nazareth on the story floor of the museum) We would love to offer our services to you at cost- as a thank you for the value you have brought to our lives. If this is something that would be helpful to you please email me personally at artistnate@gmail.com
I really appreciate the analogies Guru-Team leader / Order - Chaos. That increases my ability to describe and diagnose my own client issues, and speak to them in simple terms. This stuff is high value to me. My biggest challenge is my low self-esteem, it limits me as I perfect things and I am afraid that I keep take too long to reach the next level of play. My stuff is way overkill most of the time.
Hi Sam. Great video. Thank you for the valuable content. Biggest problem/dilemma I have at the moment is achieving "success in the workplace". I have gone for a few promotions in the last 2 years and it hasn't gone my way. Yes, I know it may be an issue with execution and performance ( I have consciously worked in this a fair bit) but equally how do I really know if this if this is the path I'm suppose to go on. I'm aware that failures is where we learn the most but when do you cut your losses and take another avanue. I recently watched your video about doing what we love and finding what we are passionate about and this helped me immensely on this topic. Not sure if your answer will repeat the advice from your "love" vid but thought I would ask anyway. Thanks again Sam. Danny.👍
I struggle being inside and working at the computer a lot. I like to get outside and exercise - but I'm getting more regular with it. Also finding a good and consistent environment to work at.
Great video Sam! Would love to hear about the books you recommend on hiring.
I am really looking forward to see A NEW OFFICE TOUR 😊😉😁
Perfect timing Sam! Was going through accelerator today. Niche selection has been the biggest challenge for a lot of students because as you go through life, you gain experience in many different areas. However, most people do not specialize in one given area. That said it took me over 12 months to finally fuse 2 niches together into one within the health and fitness industry. Perhaps updating accelerator with a "choosing your niche 3.0" where there's a deeper discussion about niche fusion or micro-niching would help but niche selection is definitely a big one.
Side note - I noticed a lot of students defaulting to Facebook ads for XYZ clients, however, have no passion or love in that. I was one of those people for a long timeframe have recently switch gears.
Agreed. I've been struggling to find my niche for 7 months and I've just defaulted to "doing ads" which I won't take action on probably because I don't really want to "do ads"
I did the same. Nothing really gets my attention or passion for long. Multiple niches have popped up and seemed good but after some research and time, I lost interest. Ended up thinking "ehh someone else can do it, I'm not that interested" So I defaulted to doing ads for a few companies just to make some cash until I have a better idea of what I actually have a passion for. I think I purchased your course a year ago and never picked a niche.
Knowing whether the thing you're building is exactly what people want, niche validation I guess. Second thing, knowing whether the next move I'm making in my business is going to be big enough to get us up to the next level.
Your whiteboard game is on another level
Love it! Your not comfortable unless your uncomfortable.
I totally agree with your synthesis. I have rotated between roller coaster like phases between order and chaos peaking in one over a long time before the other with many smaller peaks and valleys in the interim. When peaking in order realizing what you’re saying here seeing the value of the other side, and letting that show its flaws to have both full spectrums of universes to harmonize them into one like the state of conception for a prenatal fetus in its first week in the womb, where the first cells multiplying look like two worlds colliding.
Aw man. I completely understand you not taking the time to edit. But not gonna lie, I loved that video haha.
Hey Sam, a business friend put me on to you recently, and I'm in extreme gratitude of your content and your realness. I'm in year 3 of running my own online coaching business, achieving great results for my clients (also run retreats), and the main challenges I am facing are:
1. Acquiring (enough) new clients
2. Charging enough per client (undervaluing myself)
3. Stuck in a soloprenuer mindset - unsure / anxious about creating a team as I can't afford it right now, and in all honesty, I have no need for one yet, but I don't want to stay stuck playing a small solo game either as I want to be able to scale (something) eventually.
4. Unsure if I'm conveying my message clearly enough / crafting offers
5. Copywriting to convert sales
Thank-you kindly in advanced for any actionable advice you can offer.

A great Analogy for Order from Choas is the Caldini plate, where switching from a lower Frequency to higher causes a change in the established order, choas in the transitionphase to establish a new higher form.
Just got back from 2 months in Europe and NYC... completely broke all of my routines. Now back in Austin and rebuilding.
Sam, great video as ever. Are you planning on returning to your routine? Also does the off the wall decoration of your future office space go against everything you've said in relation to things that don't/shouldn't really matter? Thanks.
Glad to hear you are gonna upload new videos! Good leadership and team management is something I struggle with. I find it difficult to impose something on people and then to check and criticize them. Do you have some tips from your own experience or can you recommend some books / exercises?
It was interesting listening to someone apparently rediscover the BCG Experience Curve on his own. BTW relative market share and value-added chain may also be handy ideas.
