Is there any way I can get a hold of a template of this Company Scorecard? I need it in my life ASAP!!
@aliabdall - That Excel spreadsheet looks really dry. Have you tried DataPine for better visuals of your data?
*I don't know who needs to hear this, but don't chase comfort at the age of labor, so you won't labor at the age of comfort.*
Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.
“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.” I feel fortunate to have made productive decisions that have had a lasting impact on my life. Through my finance coach, I've accumulated over a million and recently purchased my first house in January. I've also managed to pay off my mortgage and student loans, and now I'm focused on working towards my retirement by next year.
That’s a just approach. I’m 40 but my financial life is a mess. Any ideas will go a long way in shaping my life and finances.
I operate a wide range of investments and have achieved massive growth in my finances with the help of my financial professional, making my financial goal a reality.

🍀I think what I appreciated the most was that you showed HOW you use the apps and programs. I think a lot of these types of "12 apps I use" videos pretty much just explain what the apps do, but I can usually figure that out from each of their sales pages. What's really interesting is seeing how all the tools work together and help your team communicate.
I loved how you showed using both Figma and Slack in communication with Stefan. It was one specific scenario, but you showed how each of the apps came in handy in different aspects of the project.
🍀
🍀 so good!! Thank you so much for sharing all of this so transparently!
It's fun to see the amount of trust you have in your team. Handing over the reigns to the point where you can have statements like "Ali can film when he wants but not what he wants" is a powerful indication of trust. 🍀
The anxiety you sometimes feel is an opportunity...
...to pause
...to sit with it
...to look towards it with kindness and curiosity
...to discover something it’s been meaning to tell you
Whenever tension finds you, know that it comes with an invitation to rest on your Fabulous path. Sit with the feeling and offer it kindness, knowing the earth can support you. Treat yourself with compassion, even, and especially, if anxiety is present.
Love this! Thank you for sharing.
Ali, it's so evident how much you care about people. Pulse check of your team is gold. So subtle, but so powerful! Thank you. I am incorporating this in my organization!
Awesome video.
Thank you so much for putting this up for millions and more people to learn not only "what" is done but "how" it is done. Your courage to share your productivity knowledge and openness is rare. Thanks a lot!
🍀 This was so helpful! It's incredibly valuable seeing how someone structures their team communications and processes. I've been a solo freelancer for 15 years and am now starting to expand into a larger team, and the idea of managing people's work and overall experience is completely daunting. I really appreciate the level of detail on how you actually set up systems! Please keep making vids about your business structure and set up, I promise it's not too niche. I don't know of anyone else who is transparently talking about this stuff, and it is gold. Thank you!
Doesn't it get lonely...😢
🍀 liked the examples of how you and your team use the apps, explanations of what you need from the apps; clarity and beauty, as well as excitement and you obviously enjoying it all, as usual.
🍀 learned so much and appreciate how deep and thorough this went! Watched till the very end and stayed engaged throughout!
🍀this is my first time to ever comment on your videos. Beautiful call to action 😉. I’m an entrepreneur and a business owner- like many of your viewers. It’s is so amazing to actually see how you run/operate your business, what tools you use, real screenshots with data, and seeing how you employ company core values. I love this video and I’m saving it to reference over and over. Thank you! I really appreciate you and your team for making it!
🍀Loved seeing how you & your team use these productivity apps! Great video Ali!
🍀 I always appreciate the level of transparency in your videos about what you do. In a future video, I'd love to hear more about your process of evolution in growing and managing a team.
Love the way Ali is transparent with everything🍀
Amazing, love the transparency you put with your team!
🍀 absolutely valuable. Loved the fact that you went into detail and showed us specific use cases that are personal to you instead of just touching on what the apps do. Also helpful how you are also sub-teaching us how to run a team. I think another nice video would be one discussing how to build a team and successfully run a team. It would complement the video on why you have a team. Lovely video❤️❤️
🍀 Appreciated the openness - not only about numbers, but the actual peeks into how the business is managed. I feel like managing to measures of happiness - internal and external - is often espoused, but rarely believable. You and your team clearly walk the talk.
Yes! Well-said.
Agreed Matt. New TH-cam channel. Interview owners/CEO on how they run their business. No judgement but an insight into different perspectives would be amazing for the audience!
💯💯
I love the transparency! It's very refreshing!
🍀 please don't stop to make this king of content because it's super helpful for me and other people that are starting to create their own businesses! Thank you, Ali!
☘️ one of my favorite videos from you guys. Appreciate the transparency and genuineness you provide us. I mean, to the actual numbers! Video was perfect length, got value from minute 1 to 33. There is simply nobody doing stuff like this out right now and it’s more than appreciated!
🍀 Love this type of content because no one really breaks it down. People spend ages in trial and error and I love seeing other people's best practices for running the day-to-day. Well wishes for the book. Looking forward to the read.
🍀exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much! I love seeing behind the scenes business management bits and pieces. Just preordered the book, too.
🍀 This is amazing!! Loved hearing about the different systems than you use to manage the business. Would love to find out more about the team’s ways of working and the nitty gritty of starting a business i.e. all the forms you have to fill out, taking on first few employees legally etc. Thanks Ali! 🍀
🍀 - tbh I was planning to skim through this video via the chapters, but ended up watching all the way through because I loved learning about the “bts” of your business! Running a business is definitely something I would love to do in the future, so I’m definitely saving this for future reference :)
🍀 really loved this video. It was the perfect one to end my work day at the office. I cannot wait for your book Ali, I know it will be wonderful. These videos are so helpful, although I don't have a business I use a few of them, used a few of them and heard about the majority. Love the transparency as well, it's so refreshing to see someone be so open about numbers. Wish you and your team all of the success! 💌
You never cease to amaze me with the quality of the content of your videos, thank you so much Ali!
This is hands down the most helpful video of yours for me! Thank you so much for the transparency and insight. ☘️
🍀 Thank you for showing so much actual detail of what these apps look like while in use! Really appreciate the multiple real life examples of data, messages, photos, and actual clicking around and sending messages. Reviews and walkthroughs without this are often useless to me.
🍀It is super helpful to have all the overview of what it is to run a business. I personally love that you are having the happiness of your team as a tracking item on your systems.
🍀thank you for all your videos. so much value and the way you share it is so light and hard to stop watching. got your audiobook through audible. cant wait to listen to it. Thank you again!
🍀 Love this video Ali. There’s always 1 or 2 new things that are new to me and can try and implement into my own workflow.
🍀I love your longer videos tbh. I am not at that stage where I have a team but it can feel overwhelming and I am grateful that there are people like you sharing knowledge and helping out immensely
🍀I'd love to see more about the behavioural side of things. How to keep the team motivated, engaged, and positive. While also making sure business requirements are met.Thanks

This video makes us feel good about productivity! So many handy tips and tricks to get more out of Slack, thanks Ali!
Watched this right after the feel good business video. Some of my favorite types of videos from you Ali, thanks so much for sharing 🍀
Great video Ali, I'd love to see more of this long form content. Excellent as always! 🍀
☘️! Would love to hear your journey and thoughts on hiring. What was the role of your first team member, what roles came next, and did you have any struggles with knowing when to get help and what kind of help would be the most effective?
I’m running a 6-figure business, and now trying to write a book, all solo. So I am the entrepreneur, the manager, and the technician.
🍀loved this video Ali, thanks for the deep dive into how you and the team do what you do
🍀 thanks for sharing, not only the tools you use, but some of the approaches in how you use these tools. It's refreshing to see how transparently you've shared the data within each app. I love your core values.
Thanks to the entire team at the channel.
I'm on my pc so I can't leave an emoji... BUT *clover emoji goes here*
This was such a great and informative video! Thank you for showing us HOW these programmes worked rather than just naming them! I have got such great insight from these platforms so thank you :)
Time to learn together!
🍀 this was so expanding for me! Absolutely loved it. I love seeing real life examples and seeing how I could apply this to my life without the many trial and error processes you may have already gone through and saving money for my small business. Thank you soo much!! ❤
I always finish your videos Ali❤ sometimes listen two to three times especially the Deep Dive. Thank you! 🙏 🙏 🙏
I'm working on starting a business now and you are one of the people who have inspired me. Love your videos!!
🍀 thank you ali. Loved this whole vid and found it all valuable
🍀 Your transparency is amazing, keep up the amazing stuff!
🍀Love the transparency you always show. It’s fantastic to see the neaty greaty. So much information is ‘what to do’ but I love that you go one step further into the actual ‘how to do it”
🍀 loved this video. You always have the most engaging and clear content!
🍀awesome video Ali. Your openness is much appreciated. Hope you keep growing and inspire people along the way 😊
Your transparency about running a $4 million business is incredibly insightful and inspiring! 🚀💼
🍀Love your videos, man. I would like to watch these types of videos from you. already pre-ordered the book and I can't wait for it
🍀 This is by far (for me at least) the most helpful and interesting video you've ever created...and all your videos are awesome! I've been in business for 12 years and I'm always looking for ways to optimize my systems and be more effective. FYI - this is the first video of yours that had me taking notes and knowing that I'll be going back to look at things you shared (spreadsheets, Notion etc). Great job Ali and team!
🍀 this was probably one of the most useful videos from you - thank you! More of this please 😊
🍀 I loved this video! As someone who is looking to get more data out of our business I found the suggestions very useful. Really enjoyed this type of video. Thank You!
🍀Love the transparency. Thank you!
🍀 Thank you, Ali! Your content has been incredibly informative and eye-opening. I'm truly grateful for the knowledge you've shared. Keep up the great work! 🙏
🍀 there is just so much out there that you were helping us to read through and traverse the forest of information. Thank you 🙏
🍀 Love this type of content and it helps so much! I don't know a lot of TH-camrs who are THIS transparent about business and it's crazy that you just give us these things for free. Would love to hear more about strategy--how you build hypotheses, test, and optimize around them (cause honestly, a lot of business is data-driven guesswork)
🍀 your videos have just inspired the hell outta of me thank you ❤️
🍀🍀🍀Loved the walkthrough and how you use each app. Have pre-ordered your book.
what is this green leaf mean at the beginning of your comment?
🍀 I watched the video till the end 🍀 Keep up the great work Ali !
🍀 Always awesome videos. Favorite part about the videos is how you actually go into the apps. Gotta love the transparency!
As for what I would want to see…. I would love to see how you structure your business as far as personnel. At least the team leaders
🍀 I just now found you on TH-cam and you're videos are not boring. You're good at keeping people's attention! And the information is helpful.
🍀Always love your videos. Literally, any content you put out is very useful and surprisingly relaxing for me.
🍀 awesome. I love how you approach your business with joy, value alignment and effectiveness I love to see more of this.

Loved it Ali. And of course done with my pre-booking.
🍀 Loved it, especially the sneak peak into ur business workings.
🍀 the things I love about this video is not just about the tools that you talked about, but also some insights about how you use the tools to run your business, or rather, how run your business with the tools.
yes i actually saw the whole video! thankyou so much for the great advice! I've downloaded most of the apps, hoping it will help me resatrt my online business! i guess some of it would have to wait until ill have a team and big enough income' but its great to already have an idea & healthy work habits. its super nice to see you backstage workflow with your team, seems fun to work with you! very inspiring, thankyou very much!🍀
🍀 Great Video! I love seeing the process and applications you use to run the business!
Thanks for the video Ali. Looking forward to reading your book 🍀
🍀This was actually great! I won't use many of these because I manage a university counseling service so most of it doesn't apply, but I have actually saved AND downloaded it. I want to think about how to use some of the team management and motivation bits with the team I manage. I love your channel, and sometimes wonder if I am your oldest groupie 😂 (I turn 60 this year). Thanks for all the great content and for helping me find some other great folks. You can bet your channel will get plugs from me to students, clients, staff and colleagues!
🍀 This was great. Would love to see a deep dive on your full notion setup now.
🍀
Absolutely loved this video !! Was eagerly waiting for something like this. This is a great session for me to understand how to leverage tech products to scale and run a business. Thank you Ali a lot for patiently explaining the things,. Appreciate you transparency.

Got a ton of ideas to apply in my own freelancing business.
