The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2017/12/11

Finding focus in a world full of distraction can be an extremely hard thing to obtain. Sometimes we need to think outside the box by inverting the equation and adjusting our lens to which we view things. The first step toward finding focus is to ask yourself "what is the opposite of focus?" -Distraction. We can then identify our main distractions and eliminate them one by one, taking back control of what our mind focuses on.

2017/12/04

Finding the key commonalities behind what makes an individual thrive in a given circumstance while others may crumble has been an obsession of mine over time. I've been fascinated by finding out what separates the greats from everybody else. Are they smarter? More educated? Do they work harder? Do they wake up early? Do they read a lot? A lot of the time in the past I've believed that I've found the thing that makes people so successful, but then later realize it wasn't. However, recently I've

Starting a business from scratch can be a challenging endeavor. Many people become paralyzed by self-doubt and uncertainty when starting a business.

14. How Do You Gain Self-Confidence In Business?

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2017/11/21

Why are some people more confident than others? Is it something they're born with or is it something else? One question we get time and time again is: "How do I gain self-confidence in business?" Many people believe that they need self-confidence in order to start working towards their dream. The reality is that self-confidence only starts building once you've started working towards your dream. This thinking trap cages most entrepreneurs and paralyzes them from the action. In today's episode, I sat

12. How you do one thing is how you do everything

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2017/11/20

Early in my career, I noticed a pattern...I’d build things up to a certain point, then I'd break them down to a certain point. For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction: A destructive action creates a destructive reaction, and a constructive action creates a constructive reaction. Pretty simple. The pattern of somebody's existence in one aspect of life, big or small, will be present in their existence in everything else. It doesn't matter how small something is, it will be present in

11. How do you come up with an awesome idea?

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2017/11/20

How do you come up with a good idea for your business? Most people believe that the thing stopping them from starting their own business is a "good idea". I hear people say things like: "I just need an idea". "All the good ideas are taken" or "I had an idea for something but then somebody else did it". Most people put ideas on a pedestal and scour the earth for the right one but they're making a huge mistake. If you search for ideas you will never find one. You must go looking for problems

2017/11/20

“9 out of 10 businesses fail” “Don’t get your hopes up too much” “Maybe you should just finish your degree” These are the verbal blows that entrepreneurs are hit with when we go against the status quo. Do you have friends and family who are against you when it comes to entrepreneurship and business? In today's episode, we discuss methods on how to deal with friends and family… (Including the 1 question you can ask them to turn the tables and get to a mutual understanding).

9. Why being yourself is a myth in life and business

2017/11/20

Why do people think it's bad to be somebody who you're not? Why do people always say "Be yourself". "Stick to your roots" and "Don't forget where you come from?" In this podcats, we discuss why being yourself is a myth and a limitation in both life and business. It's counter-intuitive and it goes against everything that you've been told.

How do you know whether your ideas will fail or be successful? You can think about it for a month, a year or even an entire lifetime but thinking alone will do you ZERO good.

The trick is to do it fast and with little cost/risk and in this podcast I provide you with one of the most beautiful examples there is – the story of Steve Madden shoes.

Do you ever feel like you're drawn towards complexity like a moth to a flame? Most people are obsessed with complexity and they feed their addictions with advanced strategies and tactics but they completely miss the point. Obsessing over the complex is like having the best silverware for a dinner party and overcooking the chicken, nobody cares about the silverware because the main thing was the food. This happens every day in business. I see people arguing over which software to use and which color

2015/03/19

As an entrepreneur starting out there’s a lot of things you need to know. The best way to learn is by reading books.

2015/02/26

One question that I get all the time almost every single week is: “Sam, if you were starting from scratch, you knew nothing and had nothing, say no money, no knowledge of anything, no ideas for a business, and you are literally starting from zero, all the way back in the beginning. What would you do?” That’s a question I get asked all the time, and in this podcast, I’m gonna tell you exactly what I would do if I was starting from scratch today.

2015/02/18

When you're starting out as an entrepreneur or early-stage business owner NOTHING is as important as sales. Without sales you don't have customers, without customers you don't have revenue and without revenue, any business will quickly die. There's no argument that sales are mission-critical to the early-stage business, so why do we find it so hard to do?

2. Are You Inventing Things To Avoid The Important

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2015/01/27

We as humans constantly have voices inside our heads that guide us through decisions in life however when we try to do something important or something challenging those voices tell us to do something else. When we sit down at our desks in the morning and know our business needs new sales, our inner procrastinator tells us to work on our LinkedIn profile or to get a haircut and when we need to get a direct mail campaign out the door it tells us to answer email instead. The secret isn’t to ignore

1. The Importance of taking breaks

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2015/01/20

When was the last time that you took a proper break? If you want mental clarity, that sharp edge and those quantum leaps in both your life and your business then working harder without taking a break IS NOT THE ANSWER. Many of life's greatest opportunities are lying in plain sight but we fail to see them because we’re zoned in on the unimportant. Sometimes the only way to gain clarity about what things really matter and where we should be placing our efforts is by taking a break. In this podcast, I
