      @aliabdall - That Excel spreadsheet looks really dry. Have you tried DataPine for better visuals of your data?

    🍀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.

    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. 🍀

    🍀 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!

    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.

    🍀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!

    🍀 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.

    🍀 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❤️❤️

    🍀 I am trying to run a business and am based in the UK. I like productivity,tech and research oriented videos of yours it's a specific niche i would say. And also have been following you from about 8 years now i think or more maybe absolutely love your content and I have seen your Channel althroughout it's glory and hopefully will get to meet you oneday inperson and be in the same level as you.
    *All the Best Ali*.
    PS : I have ordered the Book the first Day or maybe in the first week or so and really smile whenever you promote the book in your videos and look like your are uncomfortable pushing people to buy it especially in this video but love that to see the genuine reactions of a person always).
    Sorry for the dump but my goal also was and is still to achieve *Financial Freedom* Hopefully will start the jouney someday .

    🍀 Fantastic video, some insight but not too much on each app you use, for me the perfect amount! With less info I can't know the real value of the app, and if I want more either you have one in-depth video or there's someone on youtube who has. Your day-to-day videos, with how you structure your work and the work of the people on your team are the most useful for me, thanks! By the way, I've pre-ordered your book, and can't wait to read it!
