    You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. You don’t try to forget about the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

    To all the followers of Ali.
    Yes, he s given some valuable advice....
    But remember that his job (role) at RUclips is to create content ALWAYS, so please don't get overwhelmed from his "videos" and don't fall at the toxic productivity, don't be just a receiver, apply what you learned and go a head at the journey of productivity.
    HAVE A NICE DAY!

    Thank you, Ali, for helping to specify the 1 goal.
    The “2 list method” helped a lot to write 5 goals and now, as I’m watching the part about goals, I connected them to 1 clear goal.
    Keep on the momentum ⭐️

    My teacher in high school had us make 5 goals for the school year. No more, no less. Then, we had to prioritize them in a way we felt they needed to be prioritized. Like, listed most import to least important or most attainable or harder to achieve. And focus on the first goal on the priority list. Until it was achieved. Yes, the less prioritized goals were able to be changed as needed. By the end of the year, everyone accomplished every goal they originally made, and then some because they added more goals after the original goals achieved after making realistic goals. The teacher said it was a focus/prioritizing/goal setting assignment. Everyone aced it if they achieved their first 3 goals as those were the most important goals to be achieved.

    That bee analogy completely changed my brain's attention span radar sensitivity. Right after that analogy I rewinded to the beginning of the video and started taking notes. All of a sudden instead of being overwhelmed by everything happening in life right now I made a GOALS list for the year and a to-do list for tomorrow 😲Love your videos!

    00:01 Not having clear goals for the business
    01:37 Setting clear goals is crucial for providing direction to a team.
    04:34 Setting too many goals can be overwhelming
    05:58 Defining the one key goal is incredibly helpful for business success
    09:12 Seek help from those who have already achieved your goal
    10:42 Avoid splitting focus for better progress
    13:47 Utilize metrics for tracking progress and staying on the right path.
    15:22 Metrics can become the goal instead of guiding towards the true goal.
    18:18 Having a growth mindset leads to progress

    Goodhart's law, idk if its the same thing that happened to me but i had a similar cause for burning out in the past few months. I got misaligned because i started pursuing the metric as the goal but the metric was not what i wanted out of life, it was the thing the metric was for. Re-framing my mind to see the metric as only a metric for the goal again helped me get back on my feet. Anyways, good video!

    Dude please make a video on high earning career ideas other than medicine and their respective scopes in whatever countries!! As basic as it sounds, a lot of people end up going for medicine just because of societal pressure, for the prestige and also majorly because they’ve got no better ideas. And it’d be really cool if you rate different aspects of each one of those like the way you did in your side hustles video :)

      @kuri_curry 3 месяца назад

      Realistically,
      As you have a family to support, you may need to talk to your wife regarding your business journey. And what exactly it will look like.
      You need money for food, shelter, possibly school for your offspring. And on the business side, there's always expenditures like materials, ads, transportation.
      If you CAN afford to go all into your personal business then why not?
      If not, you may have to go half and half or so until you slowly can fully support yourself and your family via your own business.
