Dear Ali Team, While exploring Ali's TH-cam learning website 2days ago, I came across a $1 course that caught my interest. I decided to purchase it, but an error occurred, resulting in charges of $895 and $27. I was unaware that $922 had been spent. According to your website's refund policy, I am entitled to a refund for these erroneous charges. Therefore, I kindly request your immediate assistance in processing the refund for the aforementioned amounts. I initially contacted your team two days ago regarding this issue but have yet to receive any feedback. If I do not receive a response by the end of the day, I will be compelled to escalate this matter through an official complaint.
Hey Ali, could you please do an updated how to film TH-cam videos with your iPhone? Would you still recommend the same microphone? Thanks for the always value packed content.
" Identifying what is holding you back" is the crucial question that I should ask myself and try to get over the wall of the comfort zone so that I won't give up too early, try everything but still not successful in anything.🙏🏻 Thank you Ali for your advice.🌟
Small business owner here 🙋🏻♀️ This was the advice that I needed: make growing my business my main focus and just start the YT channel for fun. Thank you, Ali!
ALI---Thank you so much for sharing this. So timely as I'm sitting at a coffeehouse right now trying to figure out my REAL goal. This right here ""why am i not already there?" " was such powerful advice. Appreciate all the work you do!
Thanks Ali. I was struggling to do with one thing and struggle for one thing. My life was unorganised and was on verge of burnout. But this helped me understand what I am truly going for.
Ali's videos always seem to come out at the right time. This is gonna help me so much to get over my little 'unproductive burnout' and focus on my 'GPS'
Wow!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH. I love how Ali gives such amazingly honest advice, admitting that going full-time on TH-cam is hard - he even says he doesn't recommend it, despite having this course to sell to aspiring TH-camrs like Zak (and myself, haha)! I love Ali's honesty and no BS approach to everything. This is also the first time I heard about the GPS concept, and it's super helpful! Thank you Ali, awesome content as always! Like Zak I've also bought your book and LOVED IT. I even mentioned it in one of my own videos and integrated some of my takeaways from your book into my own "system" on raising trilingual children. Thank you Ali, you're such a positive influence and have changed so many lives, including mine! xxx
Sorry, just to add to that - similar to Zak, I'm also in a situation where I find myself juggling too many things. I have a part-time job, a freelance translation career, a TH-cam channel, a KDP business, AND TWO KIDS (and a husband!). I'm really trying to grow my freelance business at the moment as it's my main source of income. I'm also trying hard to increase my income from KDP. As Ali pointed out, I have so much more control over these aspects of my life than TH-cam so, f**k it, maybe I WILL take Ali's advice and take a break from YT and focus on growing my active income for now! But I do love YT, so maybe I'll scale down and make fewer videos for the time being while I focus on growing my business. Thanks, Ali!! Your video's given me clarity and actionable advice xxx
Identify your Goals, specify your Goals, find the possible ways and possible Plan to achieve your goal, and Focus on one plan and Road rather than getting exhausted trying to pursue multiple stuff at the time. Then make a System that will help you follow the plan and go from point A to point B... Amazing Video Ali! one of your best i have watched, Thank you a LOT!
This video popped on my feed at the perfect time (as I lay for a mid day nap after exhausting meetings) Been feeling overwhelmed juggling between many things. Commenting even before watching, I already know this is gonna be gooood😄Now back to the video..
Loooool, I love your energy and your videos, you have this funny charisma about you. You very friendly and come across as genuine. I will be truly be continuing to follow your business building ideas. I have the exact same problem, stretching myself way too thin, too many thoughts and ideas. But no practical way to build a system of whats in my mind and turning it into real world content. But You have a lot of amazing ideas and strategies to undoing the knots. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing all this valuable knowledge.
Wow that was a great watch. I feel very similar to Zak with trying and wanting to do too many things at once and not having the time for all of them (even though I know I need to be just focused on One Thing). So this video really resonated with me. Thanks Ali and the team!
I’ve been struggling with focus and often find myself overthinking my tasks. After watching your video, I feel more at ease and have a clearer understanding of how to focus better... Thank you so much❣️
Your book Feel Good Productivity is so good! Honestly the most engaging and easy to engage with book in the personal development genre I’ve read anytime recently
Golden video. So many nuggets of wisdom but when I reached 20:05, that was like the best concluding statement it was almost genius from how the writings led to that point. Thank you Ali!
I really appreciate your honesty about the stress/hussle etc. for full time TH-camrs. I feel like this downside is mostly not shown/hidden. But we all need to see the full picture. Thank you, Ali 😌 And thank you for your prompts. 💡
Muchas gracias por el contenido en español recien descubri tu contenido y algo fantastico y revelador he estado pensando muchas cosas de las que hablas pero nunca lo habia aterrizado del modo como lo explicas, no pares de subir contenido en español estas cambiando mi vida, gracias.
Thanks Ali again very insightful 🌼 As you were speaking at the start, I was thinking exactly "oh yes I'm stuck at 'the system' on many levels..."😂 Now clearer on right actionsteps😊
Ali, please make a video on how you make quick notes with that mindmap effectively!! I'm so impressed by how you could listen to him and make notes that certainly help to summarise the problem !
Thanks for the advice Ali, the GPS, the three why's and the final conclusion are very consistent and a great advice for everyone who wants to set goals! ❤
This could easily be the most valuable video from you I’ve ever watched. If I had this 10 or 20 years ago it could have changed not only my life but my children’s. Thank you for such great content that hits SO CLOSE to home for me. 👍
Ali, thanks so much for your work. I have found out about you thanks to your talk Mark Manson. I am literally taking notes watching the videos from you guys. Just ordered a copy of your book too. But this video, especially the bit about switching between goals and the need to identify the real WHY behind your different goals resonates so much with me. I will report here on my progress in 12 weeks. Stay tuned, folks!😊💪
I just signed up for the business newsletter and those were some great questions. I've identified areas I need to work on and I haven't even got the first email yet.
I love the video, but I would have to disagree with the part that you stated that it is easier to grow a business than to grow a TH-cam channel. I would argue that is equally just as hard because having a TH-cam channel is the same thing as having a small business. I know you have more experience than I do, but hopefully one day I will have a louder voice. Thank you for this video 👍🏽
I'm loving this less-structured videos Ali. When you said "sorry this is all scrampple up" I'd say is actually a really nice thing about the video, I enjoy listening to your honest thoughts as you go, keep it going if you also enjoy it. The final phrase of "TH-cam is actually more enjoyable when it is a side-hustle" resonated with me a lot because the more I'm on this journey the more appeling the idea of being a 4-hour a day game programmer and a 2-hour a day youtuber gets for me. So it's always nice to have some external validation of that vision from people like you.
Really good video. Insightful and helpful. I like the leaning towards the psychology behind being successful and the steps one can take to take successful action! More videos like this please!
This is helpful, thank you. I spent some time answering the questions for myself and writing down my thoughts. I do need to focus and decide what I am doing and why I am doing it. And what is the most efficient way to get to my goals without distractions of what everyone else is doing.
I have a question: How many hobbies do you think are healthy to have along with a 9am to 5pm job? I like my job, but I currently have difficulty pursuing several hobbies that I enjoy.
Problem is that learning also takes SO much time, watching so many videos/courses/conferences/etc. to learn, can takes away all of the time to be working on something..its difficult. 😅
I have been struggling with consistency on my TH-cam channel, I don’t know what equipment to use, what is the best background, and deciding on the content I should post because I want to teach Hispanics on money mindset and investing in real estate. ❤ appreciate your guidance
Reflecting on my past experiences, it's okay to ask for help and take steps to ensure a healthy balance between responsibilities and personal well-being.
How do you grow a vanlife channel when to you are no longer in the van? And if you want to be in the van, do you really want to be growing a portrait photography business? Is there a way you could sell adventure photography? Or integrate a studio in or around the van and then go to your clients as your unique selling proposition? Or could you shift to family photography that are on location in parks or something that doesnt require large sets.
What I would give to have Ali as a mentor for my channel!! Love this video - as I relate so much. I’m in London right now and as soon as we landed - told my husband “Hey that productivity TH-camr I watch lives here!” 🤣
Hey @Ali Abdaal, I really love your content and I am watching from Uganda, Africa. I am completing my degree in computer science but your videos are really good for me. 🎉 But I still have the fear of starting, how can I go about it
Add to all that "too many things...", being a mom of two young children, having to continue the current job, taking care of the chores... and so much more ... the confusion is real

I LOVE how you write all this down on paper! 👏🏼 Thank you for helping people ❤

Amazing Video Ali! one of your best i have watched, Thank you a LOT!
Great video! Thanks so much Ali 👊
Its definitely so easy to just try and do everything and anything and end up extremely burntout. Cant wait to watch the video!
Couldn’t agree more 😅
This video popped on my feed at the perfect time (as I lay for a mid day nap after exhausting meetings) Been feeling overwhelmed juggling between many things. Commenting even before watching, I already know this is gonna be gooood😄Now back to the video..
napping helps so much tho:D
12:20 - 13:30 Everyone needs to listen to this!! So true
What I learned: Breakdown your Goals, then plan for it, and make a simple system around it.
Thanks Ali❤
Loooool, I love your energy and your videos, you have this funny charisma about you. You very friendly and come across as genuine.

The switching of tasks or plans when coming up against my comfort zone. I’ve never felt so called out in my life. 😂
SAME
Wow that was a great watch. I feel very similar to Zak with trying and wanting to do too many things at once and not having the time for all of them (even though I know I need to be just focused on One Thing). So this video really resonated with me. Thanks Ali and the team!
I needed this video at the right moment. Thank you making this.
I’ve been struggling with focus and often find myself overthinking my tasks. After watching your video, I feel more at ease and have a clearer understanding of how to focus better... Thank you so much❣️
Ali you always bring peace to my mind soooo thanks a trillion
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! 😊So valued-packed. You should make more videos like this one
One of the most important lesson I've ever learnt so far. Loved the format. Loved the explanation. Keep it up, man...! 👍
Thank you so much for this genuine advice. It’s for Zack but many of us are struggling with same problem.🙏
I LOVED this video! Seeing how you broke it all down was so fascinating. I am always impressed with your content!
Thats the exact think that I have been facing myself. Thankyou so much Ali! Love you!!!
Your book Feel Good Productivity is so good! Honestly the most engaging and easy to engage with book in the personal development genre I’ve read anytime recently
Golden video. So many nuggets of wisdom but when I reached 20:05, that was like the best concluding statement it was almost genius from how the writings led to that point. Thank you Ali!

The way you make videos is just fabulous! I would really want to learn this.
I just signed up for the business newsletter and those were some great questions. I've identified areas I need to work on and I haven't even got the first email yet.
Thank you so so much did this Ali and Zak! That’s exactly my question and struggles. Thank you for point it out, a lot aha moments there 😊

Good to hear your honest comment that running a YT channel is extremely HARD!
Literally the YT video that just saved me months of not knowing what my best next move is biz wise, thanks Ali
Dear Ali, when will we be able to read your book - Feel-Good Productivity- in Turkish? I'm looking forward. With love...
😊 sir whenever I got some doubt about life your next video is always about my doubt 😊❤
Thank you, Ali. It’s a really helpful video for sharing your ideas like this.
This was so helpful and could not have come at the most perfect timing in my life. Cause I be stressed.
Yes! I have been doing too many things I like yet it can be overwhelming and having burnouts, this could help!
12:57 The DRAMA Act is so relatable (and funny) Ali, it really helped drive home the point of this video :)
The limiting factors part really opened my eyes up...
This is helpful, thank you. I spent some time answering the questions for myself and writing down my thoughts. I do need to focus and decide what I am doing and why I am doing it. And what is the most efficient way to get to my goals without distractions of what everyone else is doing.
Thank you Ali...This video gonna help me a lot!!!❤
I needed to watch this. Thank you!
I have a question: How many hobbies do you think are healthy to have along with a 9am to 5pm job? I like my job, but I currently have difficulty pursuing several hobbies that I enjoy.
thankyou a lot sir for this I was literally searching for this from many days.
This video is truly amazing!
Adore this form of content, truly valuable
It feels like we are always being chased by something. That pushing us and got us running constantly. Insecurities, fears, wanting to success, etc.
This has been immensely useful
This really come to me at the right time
Needed this... Thank you.
Thank you for being with us
that was great. honest advice ❤❤
21:04 very honest, realistic advice.
Another great video, Ali. Would 100M Leads be good for an author struggling with sales? Or is there another book you would recommend?
Love this format of videos!
Super helpful video Ali thank you for posting!
Great video, thank you Ali!
you are soooo amazing， i found every time I try to go another way is that i encountered some difficulties in doing the things at hand 😂
Problem is that learning also takes SO much time, watching so many videos/courses/conferences/etc. to learn, can takes away all of the time to be working on something..its difficult. 😅
I have been struggling with consistency on my TH-cam channel, I don’t know what equipment to use, what is the best background, and deciding on the content I should post because I want to teach Hispanics on money mindset and investing in real estate. ❤ appreciate your guidance
ii am in a similar situation , this was the most helpful TH-cam video i have ever watched. thank you
So helpful! Thank you Ali
Reflecting on my past experiences, it's okay to ask for help and take steps to ensure a healthy balance between responsibilities and personal well-being.
Great watch as always ❤❤❤
Very very good advice. Thank you for your great content
This video is soo on point for me
This was awesome.
How do you grow a vanlife channel when to you are no longer in the van? And if you want to be in the van, do you really want to be growing a portrait photography business?

Wow! I feel this so personal
What I would give to have Ali as a mentor for my channel!! Love this video - as I relate so much. I’m in London right now and as soon as we landed - told my husband “Hey that productivity TH-camr I watch lives here!” 🤣
Thanks for advice ...that helped me lot!
I feel like I want to grow my gold business now. Thanks Ali ❤
Wow this video helped alot thank you so much ❤
Hey @Ali Abdaal, I really love your content and I am watching from Uganda, Africa. I am completing my degree in computer science but your videos are really good for me. 🎉 But I still have the fear of starting, how can I go about it
