From the archive. I wrote this in Aug 2023, before starting The Dan Leibrandt Show.
I’ve watched over 25 hours of Sam Ovens.
Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Here are the top 25 lessons I learned from him:
-
If you want to change your behavior, change your environment.
-
The best strategy to be more productive is to get rid of shit ruthlessly.
-
Problems will always fester - fix them immediately.
-
Nothing is more important than adding value to your clients/customers.
-
You need to leverage what you love to do.
-
The more disciplined you are, the more money you will make.
-
If you don’t have a plan, you become a part of somebody elses.
-
The longer term you think, the better decisions you’ll make.
-
If you do what everyone else does and think how everyone else thinks, then will be just like everyone else - which is average.
-
A professional in any realm is a master of their mind.
-
Your life is the sum total of all the decisions you’ve made
-
You must become the client you want to attract.
-
People don’t have business problems, they have personal problems that reflect in their business.
-
How you do one thing is how you do everything.
-
You will become the lowest version of yourself that you can accept.
-
Never trust what people say, only see what they do.
-
Most of problem solving is just problem defining.
-
It’s always the simple things that get the best result.
-
You can’t truly grow something until you escape it and look at it from the outside.
-
What we don’t do defines us more than what we do.
-
It’s not a game of doing the most, it’s a game of doing the right things well.
-
Fortune favors the bold.
-
If you try to do everything, you’ll achieve nothing.
-
Lions don’t take advice from sheep
-
Starting a business will teach you more about starting a business than anything else
