What if people misuse this generocity in line of showcasing Your skill for free? Also am curious about SWOT analysis taught for establising a business. What are you thoughts on that? Is it needed/ Is it exception?
The ‘offer to work for free’ thing is surprisingly rare but great advice. I took a gamble and emailed a company I covered in my psychology BSc to ask if I could come work for them for free and they gave me a paid gig as a trial. 16 years later and I’m now Managing Director. In all those years not one person has attempted the same thing.
That's it. I am starting my own website/blog, documenting the upcoming final year in my masters, my thoughts and process of starting my own RU-vid channel, and working on my masters thesis. I will also try and get over my perfectionist mentality, and just write something, anything, and improve as I continue on the journey. Thank for another great video, Ali!
This video pushed me to start a blog and a RU-vid channel (amongst all of Ali’s other side hustle videos ( especially the one with his friend who went for a job interview & it turned out they already knew about her blog)). It was difficult trying to get over the fear of what other people might think but I finally got sick of thinking “what if” & figured I just freaking do it. It’s been extremely rewarding as I’ve developed both my editing and writing skills. If anyone else is still considering it, I highly encourage you to just start, even if you don’t have an exact vision. I’m still unsure about the direction I want to take my blog and channel so I’m sharing what I’m interested in.
So true about providing value first and turning it into a paid service later. Many people don't have the patience for that. It may be one of the hardest parts of starting a business but it's so essential 🤷♀️
I did Step 2 one year ago, and I now work with one of the biggest business French YT channels, doing this without permission changed my life. Great advice Ali!
I’m in love with you and your channel. I was very late to discovering you, but the impact you’ve had on my life has been monumental. That even includes bringing me out of depression. I hope you get to see this comment because I want you to know how much I appreciate your videos ❤️ much love
Basically, every success story is from what I get is: Work like hell, never give up, be patient, take risks, enjoy the journey, give without expecting returns, and be nice to people, and also a nice quote I found was to build your business so that if you drop dead today it can still function normally tomorrow, this isn't really related to the video but I'll post it anyway
I'm not only here because I want to start a business with zero money. I'm here because I like to spend a little bit of time each day in the company of people who are interesting, kind, respectful, honest with themselves, and want to solve problems and add value to the community. You are one of those people. Keep up the great work Ali. ❤

last time that I read from his website he has an offer he says anyone who makes it to cambrigde he would do a coffee date with the person. I am interested in that idea when I can make my way across the altantic ocean.
Not robbed - he was burgled. When you are robbed, it's basically threatening you to give up your stuff (e.g. on gunpoint or knifepoint) with you knowing. Burglary(and theft) is when you don't know it happened(i.e. in the middle of the night or when you were away).
I am new to cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, but I am very interested and curious to start investing in it, although I do feel this is kind of late now. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?
Love the breakdown. I started my first business from money I made off dividends. With what I’ve learned over a decade investing, given enough time, solid investments have the potential to double the initial principal amount, but many investors are instead attracted to the lure of high yields in short periods of time despite the possibility of unattractive losses before even getting out. So the onus is on newbies to beware. Having multiple income streams helped me stay afloat in business when the pandemic broke out.
@David Bucker As long as you diversify your portfolio, any single stock that you own shouldn’t have too much of an impact on your overall return. If it does, buying individual stocks might not be the right choice for you, as you can also try out the Roth IRA or I series bonds. Even index funds will fluctuate, so you can’t get rid of all of your risk, try how you might. With help, these are achievable. LEVI CLEMANS, a pro Fiduciary oversees my portfolio. You can look him up online, and connect him.
With Clemans' oversight, I’ve been able to select well run companies with strong finances and a history of shareholder friendly management practices that have made me good gains in the past months.
Thankfully, my income is enough that I can dump a lot of extra money into the market. On the positive, I’m going to start investing since one of my goals is to be financially stable before the year runs out.
Hey Ali, Just watched your video about quitting medicine. You mentioned that some of your doubts were around starting from scratch if you had to. You should watch this video too just to remind yourself that you have gained a great skill set and if need be you can start over and over again and still provide great value to people. All the best.
I really appreciate you are doing a great video while getting through this, this is heroic dude!! Sad to hear that you lost those but don't worry it is all going to be alright and you could slowly get those back, and with those tools or not you could still be a productivity genius as always.
I LOVE how you took something horrible that happened to you (getting robbed) and turned it into something amazing that helped so many people get started with a new chapter of our lives! I just '"discovered" you a few days ago and it's already changed my life. Thank you! :) (And I do hope you get your stuff back.)
Ali just before this I watched another one of your videos on your important weekly habit, these two videos have given me so much hope with myself that I truly believe even if am so late to enter the world of social media to start my own business i can still make it. thank you so much.
Don’t know if anyone has said this but I love how fast you speak and explain everything! You keep my attention span which allows me to actually finish watching your amazing videos 🤣🤣
Awesome to hear Ali talking about build in public! It is one of the most underrated things to do for entrepreneurs. It is a lot of work to share in public but we live in a world where we value authenticity & behind-the-scenes more than anything, good time to start!
Hi, I am currently doing Software Engineering, it is really rough, I almost lost my passion for coding, but the end of this video was very inspiring, made me watch over again. Thank you very much.
Most times it amazes me greatly the way I move from an average lifestyle to earning over 63k per month, utter shock is the word. have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities abound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.
@Olivia George Anyways not actually, what I know about trading almost borders on zilch lol. I make huge profits on my investment since I started trading with Mrs Debbie Ramirez, her trading strategies are top notch coupled with the little commission she charges on her trade.
@@aleksanderabraham9673 Her concept is key in beating all odds to excel in this form of online commodity trading. investing with Mrs Debbie Ramirez is the best decision I made this year.
Thank you, Ali. As someone who's trying to think on the next steps of my professional life, this video sure is a great advice on the practical side of starting something.
Oh wow, this is honestly one of the most through business guides I've seen for free! Awesome! Started already, especially with step one "building in public"
Love this video. As someone who is currently working in a generally gig-based industry - I'm always looking ways to create some passive income that I can always fall back on and this was a very well thought-out and informative video. Thanks, Ali!
Oh ty Ali. Its really helpful for me. Our company was shutdown on Apr 21 due to pandemic effect. And i still dont know what to do until now. May Allah bless you 🙏
Cheers Ali, starting out as a freelancer here and there's some great stuff here for jumping over those barriers of intimidation that flare up when getting started. Time to get providing lovely free content!
This was a really great video. I have recently started a RU-vid channel covering topics like budgeting, investing and Easy Equities for beginners. It is a great place to start if you are unsure about when/how to start investing or how much to invest. Check my channel out. Please do let me know if you find the content beneficial. Thanks Akanksha
I've been following your channel for a long time now, and your content has really helped me to grow my channel from zero and also to be a better medical student. Guys, listen to what he has to say!
Wow, this is probably the most helpful video I've ever seen, thank you Ali. I just took notes and I'm ready to start my own music business. Let's do it!💪
I took the exact same root of sending an editing sample to one of my favourite youtubers and was hired to edit a few videos for him - definitely a great thing to try, it was a pretty cool experience!
Thanks for all the inspiration Ali!! You are tremendously motivating! Thanks to your motivation, started out a YT channel recently with some goals (hope that works out)...Keep up the great work, cheers!!
I love documenting my journey to building a business. It’s gives me the ability to make money on RU-vid while figuring out what my long term business plan is
Sorry to hear this terrible news Ali. Love your videos, was sad to hear you lost all your things 😞 please invest in some good security and stay strong. The bandits will pay in the next life if not in this life
THIS MAN CAN MONETIZE ANYTHING SOMEBODY: STEALS HIS ITEMS ALI : JOKE'S ON YOU I MADE A VIDEO WHICH WILL MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY ALL THE STUFF YOU STOLE 10 TIMES 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think you are vastly overestimating how much money a single RU-vid video makes, or underestimating how expensive everything he listed is. But I get the sentiment.
You should really invest more of your income. Something you must know is that nobody got rich by saving money alone. And nobody got rich by spending it either. Investment builds wealth. And wealthy people are big time risk takers and investors.
Investing, saving & spending are all choices; Choices are made when decisions are taken; whether bad or good but nobody wants to make a wrong decision. Success is dependent on our decisions made & actions taken.
Every broke person deliberately let an opportunity walk by when it mattered most or afraid to make a bold step. With the right choice of investment; risk analysis as low as 1%, an expert guidance; interest is bound to be 100% guaranteed.
Wow; i guess Morales Camila is now a popular person; i used to work 3 jobs here in Stamford but when i heard about this; i invested my savings of 2,350 USD to startup and have made up to 15,455 USD in just 2 months.
I hardly have time to focus on managing my investment and work; am glad Mrs. Morales Camila is my portfolio manager; ever since she took over management of my investment; i have made up to 95,230 USD in 8 months with an initial startup of 6500 USD.
I now have my own restaurant business after retirement here in Mexico. I started with my part-pension of about 20,000 USD worth of mexican pesos and made up to 155,670 USD so far; i must confess it was a tough decision for me but I'm proud it was the right one.
First one! Love you very much, you’ve inspires me in so many things! Hope I’ll successfully go to Cambridge in a few years, and maybe I’ll meet you in person some day:)
Assalamualaikum, I've learn a lot from Ali abdal and I'm grateful his lessons change my life, and i shared this channel to my junior brother and I'm sure is helping him as well, thanks man❤️
I think business is fun in the sense of it is always learning game. It is always next trend and move. Thinking it as a way to learn is the best way to do instead of giving it up or not is a bad idea.
Great advice for starting a business from scratch Ali! Thank you for sharing your expertise! I've built a couple businesses in this manner and it's a successful process.
OKEY. Im watching the video and you don't know how much I needed to hear every single part of it. THANK YOU SO MUCHO FOR BEING HONEST, TRANSPARENT AND FOR ALWAYS CUTTING TO THE CHACE!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU
HELLO SIR,I HAVE BEEN WATCHING SO MANY VIDEOS ABOUT CRPTO AND FOREX TRADE INVESTMENT BUT YET I'M STILL MAKING LOSSES TRADING ON MY OWN, PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE ME A GOOD STRATEGY OR AT LEAST ADVICE ON HOW TO MAKE GOOD PROFIT THROUGH INVESTING ?
I'm 51 years old, am working on my retirement plan that will soon come up, my dream is to accumulate a million dollar portfolio within 12-18 months before my retirement, I have currently saved a capital of $100k for it, please can someone tell me how to go about it?
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build a life time wealth and investment remains the priority in this new generation, Forex trading has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent living, and with the right skills you will have a proper understanding of how the market works.
I totally agree with you,Forex trading is the most profitable venture I ever invested in,I reached my goal of $500k yearly trade earnings, setting realistic goals is an essential part of trading
But successful people don't become that way over nightwhat most people see is a glance wealth,a great career.purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time
To add on “Build in Public”, please take this advice in real life as well! The Internet is an amazing place to reach people worldwide, but don’t neglect the power of being a person of value in your local community. I started a recent series called “Small Business Sunday” where I document local business’ with my camera and create a final film. The ROI has actually been a lot higher than I expected, and in return has drastically improved Word of Mouth. Creating physical change is extremely underrated
I’ve been thinking about this too for my local small business like those who make and sell at festivals. Love it. Can we chat about your successes and failures?
Great video!! I love the way you told every single details to get started from zero. Also the videos that you have shown in-between your talk also made it a lot more in depth
I love this, it is how I run my business that is not online. I am so passionate about chemical free cleaning, I share my information for free. I also charge an hourly rate that some people baulk at but as a whole service, like end of lease clean, I am often half or sometimes even a third of what others charge because I am so quick yet thorough.
Thank you so much for creating this video. I’ve never heard/seen someone go into depth so clear. I feel grateful to have found your profile, the best of luck to you!👏🏽
i’m so sorry to hear about getting robbed man, that sucks. But don’t worry atleast you’re still helping others alongside with being a doctor who saves lives, but you save and help lives on the internet with your great self development content :) Keep it up king 👑
The first step to creating your own business is *failure* . You need to fail in order to understand what you're good and bad at so you can learn what steps need to be taken to continue to grow. Most people who succeed need to fail *MULTIPLE* times before they finally break through with success.
I just want to open a store, like a small grocery store. People always need food, even if it's just chips and water. There is always a market for that.
You sometimes do not need to fail if you follow those who have failed and learned from those failure. Getting their mentorship and guide could save you from failing and if at all you're going to fail - it will be failing forward which I see more as learning and not failing
Firstly, sorry to hear about the car robbery incident but fair play to you. I appreciate your approach to the situation. You've come up against a (by normal standards) shitty scenario. Instead of dwelling, you've decided to use it as a creative exercise and provide valuable content. It baffles me. This is the framework aspiring creators need to use. Not only get started but to do well but, only a few people will act on your advice and worse yet, complain they don't know how to start. I had that same insight with Gary. Thank you for the video! ❤
Sorry your stuff was stolen, even though I know you can financially replace the stuff it sucks because you could lose work/data. Also feels like such an invasion to happen. Great video!
I am trying to build my guitar teaching practice into a product. 'Take your shot' really helped me. Still chasing clarity on the product journey but this video makes my resolve stronger. Thanks a lot!
Bro 🥺, Ali my dude, I'm sorry this happened to you. Bless your strong mind and heart to carry forward and not letting that terrible person take any more away from you. 💕❤
Thank you for this! I learned so much! I will try to apply what I learned once I start a business❤️ 🥰☺️BTW, I salute your attitude towards what happened to you. You still push through and have given us more valuable content!
Epic video as always, and you’ve inspired me to document the journey of the new app/platform I’m building 👊🏻👊🏻 And thank you for the honourable mention for Take Your Shot 🙏🏻 you’re a superstar mate, I’m so grateful 🙌🏻
This video is beautiful ❤❤❤❤.. such an original authentic piece of content coming straight from creator's heart! Listened to it till the end... it's humbling to see how successful people can also have dilemmas. It's all about what choices we make in life. 😀
Really I can't believe this information it's free. Really helped me to open my mind into how to start. Mostly because I got and idea an all of that but really can't tell how to start reaching people or getting the first proyect (either paid or free). Thanks Ali!
well one of the most effective ways to engage,and boost your sales is creating website and an app to brand your business and am an expert I can help you with this services
Sounds like a plan! 🤸 Seriously, though, what a sh*t thing to happen to you, Ali. I really do hope you make serious ££ from this video alone to compensate yourself.
@@ginaonyemaechi not really a plan. But he is in a place that such a financial loss may not be a big concern however, he might be stressed about his data and privacy. I hope he gets all his stuff back.
@ali I’ve always thought about this. But never truly believed myself because of premeditated thoughts of fear of failing, low self esteem and even thinking the market is fully saturated. However, as this is something I’ve never tried I want to take a crack at it and these step by step instructions are a useful guide to help focus my thoughts. Thanks buddy. Would love to sense check with you once I make progress
