I personally have no issue with any of Sam’s training, whether paid or free.
🚀 The X-Factor
Sam built himself an incredible empire with thousands of satisfied students. I’ve never seen so many positive reviews in my life.

👨🏻💻 My Verdict
Sam Ovens was counter to a lot of the advice of “build multiple businesses” and “read 1 book per week” and instead, reminded all of us to stop consuming and start producing.
His content has made an incredible impact on my life, and I’m super grateful for his knowledge. Even today, I still watch his podcast interviews on YouTube.
About Me
I’m Joshua Smith from Australia. I have been building profitable content sites since 2011.
Today, in addition to managing my own portfolio, I actively help others on their journey.
How much does Sam Ovens make and how?
I estimate that Sam Ovens makes $75,000 per month on YouTube.
He does this almost entirely via sales of his online course and consulting programs, including live events and access to Skool.com.
Sam follows a ‘less is more’ philosophy and has chosen to avoid building additional businesses, although he may be financially invested in some SaaS startups.
Creator Praise
Many young people enjoy Sam’s wisdom because:
➜ He speaks truth into chaos
➜ His work ethic is off the charts
➜ He’s focused on optimizing his life and business
➜ He doesn’t really believe in hustle culture
And most importantly, he taught proven systems where students have made earned results.
Creator Red Flags
Despite his fame, Sam Ovens isn’t without some controversy. These include:
➜ Selling what some consider to be an overpriced course (although some critics such as Niall Doherty did enjoy his Consulting Accelerator course)
➜ Abandonining his YouTube and social media accounts for a year. Many people believed that Sam went missing
➜ Not responding to critics or controversy that has been raised along the way
That said, Sam has always been somewhat reclusive and odd at the same time.
He remains grounded and understands that his education isn’t for everyone.
The X Factor
So what made Sam unique with his channel?
➜ He avoided jumpcuts and short content
➜ He used his famous whiteboard to explain simple concepts
➜ His training wasn’t too outlandish
➜ He was truly a rational person
And he simply remained humble and consistent, and truly aligned to his purpose.
Both Sam Parr and Shaan Puri have covered Sam on numerous podcast episodes:
Uniquely, Sam’s never spoken on stage, written a book or been on a podcast episode as a guest himself. He considers these to be a distraction, even if it meant more revenue in his pocket.
It’s only recently that Sam created his own podcast, of which I’ve commented on:
In recent months, Sam has pivoted towards Wetube and his Quantum mastermind, rather than teaching people on how to be consultants.
Quotes by Sam Ovens
Sam has shared a ton of wisdom (primarily for free) over the years.
My favorite quotes include:
➜ “Most companies that aim to just make money rarely make any money. This is because money derives from value and value derives from helping people.”
➜ “If you’re just getting started, don’t feel down about working from your garage or basement and looking unprofessional. Nothing is ever perceived as ‘great’ unless you’ve experienced it’s opposite. Stay true to your craft and everything will come to you in time.”
➜ “Winners don’t sit around the house or watch motivational videos till they get a “hit of motivation”. They show up and fight hard, regardless of whats going on in their life or how empty their motivation tank is. Plain and simple — winners have monk like discipline.”
➜ “In business, persistence trumps everything. The fact is: most people fail not because of a lack of intelligence or a lack of a good idea, bit simply a lack of persistence.
➜ “It’s possible to make a profit and have clients in your first year, but the millions of dollars and the dream life takes a bit longer than that.”
Sam lived by these principles in the past, and continues to do so today.
My Verdict
I’m so inspired by their success on YouTube. From watching so many videos, there are key lessons that can propel our lives forward, both on a business and personal level.
My key takeaways include:
➜ Be clear on what you truly want in this limited life
➜ Remove distractions such as social media and notifications
➜ Work hard regardless of the challenges that come
➜ Treat your business like it always requires optimizing
And most importantly, never give up and chase another shiny object.
I had to learn that the hard way.
