Sam Ovens Honest Review

I first saw a picture of Sam Ovens on Facebook in one of his many ads and I suspect that is where most people see him.

First of all, I thought it was a younger photo of Leonardo DiCaprio from the movie, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ sitting at a large desk in a swanky high rise business apartment overlooking Manhattan.

On closer inspection I realised it wasn’t him but as I’m a big fan of Leonardo and Jordan Belfort (the real Wolf of Wall Street) and the headline said, ‘How A 26 Young Punk Started A Consulting Biz In Parents Garage, Moved To Manhattan & Made $10M in 4 Years’, my interest was hooked.

I’m also very interested in real rags to riches stories and when I saw his ad I was in need of a new business vision and motivation and I had no real idea of how I was going to launch my own consulting business again.

I had done the creative corporate career and it nearly killed me with the stress and endless client demands. I thought, there had to be another way I could use my entrepreneurial expertise and extensive creative skills to live my vision without losing sight of life’s priorities health, wealth and well being.

Sam’s story had the classic three-act narrative structure of the hero’s journey including his pit moment, the search and eventually realisation and breakthrough.

As human beings we are programmed to emotionally response to such stories from hearing them as children, from watching narratively driven TV shows, movies and the fact we crave completion in some form for all things.

‘Bambi’ was the first film I saw as a kid at the cinema and it made an indelible impression on me as did ‘Jaws’ which I saw at age 7 and that is when I decided there and then to be a filmmaker.

I registered for Sam’s webinar even though I didn’t trust his suit and the ad did look a little suspect.

I learned very quickly that Sam was an entrepreneur from Auckland, New Zealand. He quit the corporate world and dropped out of college to launch a consulting business from his parent’s garage with little to no knowledge of how to do it. He has an insatiable passion for learning, building things and teaching others what he learns.

I initially found his approach somewhat cool axis emotionally and very straight forward but in a way, I found this refreshingly unapologetic and clearly the dude didn’t suffer fools easily and he had a ten-yard stare that would put the Joker to shame.

The results and success he was exclaiming were no laughing matter either.

Now Sam currently runs the website Consulting.com and has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc, Wall Street Journal, and many other publications.

The new copy line on his website boldly states, ‘SUPERPOWERS FOR ENTREPRENEURS’ and he’s not f@*king about

He states Consulting.com breaks business down to basic building blocks (like Lego) and tells you how to assemble them for success.

Get proven processes, gain laser-like focus, join a community of entrepreneurs and reprogram your brain for superhuman ability.

I can imagine that Sam was a big fan of Lego as a kid with his love of wanting to build things.

Clever use of words and nods to two of the biggest none Consulting brands in the world ‘Lego’ and ‘SuperHeroes’ with ‘Superpowers’. Only this time he’s turning it on its head to give them both a different meaning.

For me, this is the main reason why you should care who Sam Ovens is because he cleverly takes all the boring old school business bureaucracy out of consulting and throughout the program and all his work he deliberately disrupts the reality we think we know and creates a completely fresh and new way of looking at stuff.

He has stated in many videos that he saw the world of consulting as being in the gutter and he wanted to redefine it for a new generation of business entrepreneurs.

I really liked the sound of the course after viewing the lengthy webinar because I was halfway through another online course and some of the elements (the 25 hours of Facebook ad training) were very appealing to me but I wasn’t able to commit another $1997 for another course at that time.

So I saved the link and bracketed it for a later purchase.

However, I am one of those people and professionals that if I commit to doing something it gets done – end of story.

I have learned over the years that completing the work process is actually one of the most satisfactory parts of working and it is a huge factor in business success.

So Sam’s somewhat cool explanation of what was in the course was already appealing to my business brain but his accent took a little longer to get used to.

Okay so for all the value you’re getting Sam’s program is not cheap but I believe it’s also not overpriced either. Investing in yourself and your own business is one of the most important decisions you are ever going to make on your road to business success.

Let’s say for example you want to charge one of your clients a recurring fee of $2000 a month for one of your services. If you have only invested $200 in creating that product or service it’s highly unlikely and quite frankly unfair business practice to charge a client 10 x that amount.

What we invest in ourselves is mirrored in what we can offer and Sam in all the training highlights this important fact.

The Consulting Accelerator program is $1,997 dollars or you can pay in 5 installments that work out to $547 for a total cost of $2735.

The course is dense and features over 104 hours worth of video. Sam really does like to underline certain facts and points and you can place the module at a faster speed if you are time limited to sit through some of the longer videos.

It is recommended to revisit the material more than once and this is advisable for the technically detailed parts that require more focus and attention.

The layout is extremely user-friendly and you can watch a repeat of the 2 VIDEOS again below entitled:

As mentioned earlier the Facebook group alone is a goldmine of business and entrepreneurial knowledge, support, tips, advice and the place to share success stories with students all at various levels in the program.Newbies rub shoulders with millionaires and there are high standards of respectful sharing on a daily basis. It is an awesomely inspiring and invaluable resource that gets better the more people that join every day.

A course as detailed as Consulting Accelerator is packed with never before shared solutions but this in effect raises many questions.

To address all these questions and support students, Sam Ovens currently has two additional coaches dedicated to hosting a question and answer session.

These run live every Monday at 12 PM and Friday at 7 PM EST. These two sessions usually average out between one and a half to two hours long and most questions are answered.

The two coaches are Nick Hauser who is the community manager and whose job it is to ensure the community keeps getting consistent results and keeps the winning culture. He states in his intro that, “we’ve honed and developed understand the material very well and enjoy helping you guys push past any challenges on these calls and the facebook group and you’re ready to ring the bell and clients and growing your businesses”.

The other coach is Jesse Clark who has been with Sam’s programs for also three years and is a current member in the quantum mastermind. Jesse started a consulting business from scratch and it’s grown into the six figures now and actually managed some of Sam’s Facebook campaigns.

Now, it may be a snap observation but it seems on the face of it that to work as the Consulting.com HQ as a guy you need a full head of luscious hair and designer stubble. That rules me and Jason Statham out. Damn!

Now, Sam is not left out of the ‘GQ’ style Consulting.com live line up and on Saturdays at 3 PM EST, Sam Ovens himself hosts the Q&A alone which goes on for two hours or so.

Sam’s session differs from the two coaches in that he is very personal. Whereas the coaches will only focus on concerns with the program, Sam will share information on what’s happening with himself, his family, Consulting.com, and pretty much answer anything else.

I asked him once what were his favourite movies and he said, “hmm, that’s a good question I like real life stories but I did like ‘Gladiator’ and The Dark Knight trilogy”.

No surprises there I thought two very cool movie choices and some of my favourite films. I actually produced the DVD and Blu-ray trailers for Gladiator for Universal Pictures International years back so I’ve seen that movie many times and it never gets old.

Check out one of my Blu-ray trailers for Gladiator

Sam is constantly evolving his program with the times and regularly tests theories. He moved the whole HQ from New York to Venice Beach California at the end of 2018 and now he is closer to Hollywood than most consulting entrepreneurs and it is amusing to see his varying degrees of tan every week on the live calls.

On a more important note, it is great to have this personal access to his brain and insight for over 2 hours and you can see that he genuinely enjoys the calls and they keep him sharp and focused because quite frankly he has no idea what anyone is going to ask him.

In December 2017 I sat alone in my car parked at a motorway service station in the cold winter and I have a feeling in my stomach that I am not going to make it to the hospital in time to be with my dying father and my family as he passes.

I’ve pulled over because I got a sense he had just gone. So I call my brother and I hear his voice cracking with emotion and ask him, “has he gone?” He says to me holding back his tears, ”yes, he just passed away peacefully…”

I feel totally and utterly alone, lost, guilty and a failure as a son and a husband.

At this moment I feel completely consumed with sadness, grief, absolute loneliness and don’t know what to do.

In my search, I work for 20 years in the creative film and marketing industry and I believe I’m following my creative dream when in fact it causes me more stress and disappointment.I feel I have to prove myself to others, all my clients, my wife and my work colleagues and that I can handle any creative campaign they throw at me. I can but it takes its toll over time.

I don’t feel anyone really understands what’s going on for me and how unhappy I really am at times.

I spend over £25k on self-development courses that work wonders for a short spell but then I go back to my old habits when work becomes too stressful.

I can take no more so I quit my creative director job and contractually say goodbye to 20 years of redundancy pay.

Now I spend three years working on my first feature-length film in the hope this is going to fill my unhappy void. My filmmaking journey is truly amazing and one of the best creative experiences of my life. I manage to crowdfund over £53k to finish and release the film to great critical success but it still costs me a great deal financially and emotionally.

In February 2018 I watch Sam’s webinar entitled ‘How A 26 Young Punk Started A Consulting Biz In Parents Garage, Moved To Manhattan & Made $10M in 4 Years’ and I identified with his story his struggle and at that point would call my own life story ‘How A Vegan Film Director Made $3 Billion For His Clients, Left That Life to Find His Own Creative Way & Started from Scratch’

My life was at this crossroads now and there was something in Sam’s words that really struck a nerve with me and made me realise that I am the creator of my own destiny and I don’t need a successful career or recognition in the film industry to realise that I am not a failure and I have so much consulting knowledge and wisdom to share with others from my vast life and business experiences and that is my ‘TRUE’ calling in life now.

And I realised I wanted to do it through consulting in a whole new way.So I signed up for Sam’s course at the end of May.

My story is unique to me and I have read many different stories in the Consulting Accelerator Facebook group.

However, there seems to be a common thread in that many people have tried and tested other ways of working and other programs and they haven’t worked.

Universally it seems many people are at a turning point in their lives and careers and want something different that will create more rewarding results for them without the entrepreneurial meltdown.

Or some people are already successful and established businesses and entrepreneurs but have lost their passion for the work and are looking for a new way to uplevel and re-energise themselves and get connected to their clients needs again in a more authentic and unorthodox way.

Sam is still only in his twenties so his life experience is somewhat limited and his rise to riches took place pretty rapidly so he doesn’t bring too much personal baggage to the table. For example, there are no failed marriages, drug addictions and unlawful skeletons in the closet (not that he has publicly declared anyway).

In this regard, I found his approach and work refreshing because it was free of the personal obstacles and like a business surgeon or mathematical master he had spent years analysing consulting systems to create a truly scientific program like nothing else currently available.

He claims to be an introvert and doesn’t do talk shows, hasn’t written a best-selling book (yet) isn’t interested in having a big social media presence and couldn’t give a s@*t about Instagram.

All these things are usually driven by the ego and for someone so rich so young his lack of one is very much in evidence and why he is able to be so focused on his work vision, mission and principles.

If I had one criticism is that his approach at times is very non-emotive and also too analytical at times and the sources for his work are based on concepts from some of the world’s great philosophers, writers, billionaire business entrepreneurs and warmongering emperors.

On the Consulting.com website browser when you click the tab it actually says ‘Napoleon says’.

Sam does recommend various books and films sometimes but isn’t completely transparent about all of his sources that have inspired his work. He has clearly spent years reading and digesting many volumes of data to create the program. He also has a ruthless work ethic and there is an old school classicism and masculinity to the images he references in the program’s design and style that may be off-putting to some women entrepreneurs.

He uses phrases like do ‘violent work’ and has processes called ‘The 30 day attack’ and ‘War map calendar’. I get his intention here to disrupt the paradigm and be somewhat provocative within the world of business and to effectively go to war at it every day without compromise.

However and I’ll stick my neck out here, I think over time his style and tone may soften a little and focus more on being more inspirational rather than preparing for battle being the overall driving force behind his work.

And this is purely my personal opinion having done many other courses that were more heart energy focused. This is what makes Sam’s program different and it is a big part of his ‘style’ and ‘persona’ and he uses it to his advantage.

It may not be to everyone’s taste but Consulting.com is designed to be a lean, mean business problem solving machine.

I also want to stress that in the male-dominated world of business and consulting it is certainly exciting to see more women entrepreneurs emerging every day and thankfully there seem to be many of them who are successful students of the program.

Also Sam cleverly avoids being too opinionated on any one subject and certainly keeps his views on general politics and sexual equality in the business world to himself.

Part of his detailed training in week 2 called ‘New Paradigm’ and ‘World View’, highlights the business and lifestyle pitfalls of being too one-sided on any one subject and how this can be lead you astray very quickly and not in a good way.

So is Sam’s program a scam?

If you fell into one of the categories in the ‘Haters’ list then you may well think so but Sam is as Sam does. The dude is real and so are the impressive results being achieved daily by the Consulting Accelerator program.

My answer to the honest review main question is quite simple.Sam passionately gives a s@*t about his work so much so that he openly rejects all the cliche trappings of a twentysomething millionaire entrepreneur and invests more time money and energy back into his business on a daily basis than anyone else currently out there.

Sam is in it for the long run and he sees the bigger picture for the future of his work, his students and the world.

His guiding light and problem he wants to solve is that education systems are not educating people and his mission is, “To collectively educate every human on earth”.

Now there are over 7 billion people on earth and counting so do the math re his hugely ambitious mission statement.

People have connected to his work and are embracing it for themselves. Hence why he is already making over $30 million a year on a course that costs $1997.
