Is this ur account: @aliabdeal ?
Hi Ali just a comment you always talk about trading 212 which is why I have started looking into it but it is interest based income which you being a Muslim know we are not allowed just wonder have you thought about this aspect at all and I will be so glad if you can tell me any trading platform which is interest free
I think you are using any online translator for your RUclips scripts in hindi. It's really annoying to listen to such unnatural sentences. I highly recommend you to hire some translator to translate your scripts for you. It will really improve user experience. By the way your content are really awesome.
Perfect timing, I’ve just started a taxi business in Norwich.
Like I was sitting thinking about business ideas that I have and this video just came out. Perfect timing too.
Wishing you great success on your taxi business! 🙂
would like to more about how u did it. please reply if u feel comfortable to discuss
Is Norwich the same as Sweden? 🤔
@@fishnsteve Norwich is a city in the east of England.
The nice thing about asking friends and family to pay for your service or product is, normally friends and family expect you to do things for them for free. If it is something that they are willing to actually pay you, then strangers would definitely be willing to pay.
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” - Mark Twain
The secret of getting ahead is the intention of getting ahead alone - is roughly what 'world' currently is doing and why it is quite close up to an end. Tragically.
Just a week ago I thought I could never come up with a business idea, and yesterday I did. I magically became an entrepreneur without even knowing it, and having no idea how I could launch a business. Thanks Ali for teaching us about the business world, by making the knowledge more accesible. Now I definitely feel less lost and more confident than 15 minutes ago
So you have a business idea yesterday and all of a sudden, you are magically an entrepreneur. Yeah right.😂
@@afrivox oh, so you’re not okay. Just a troll trying, and failing, to build a channel lmao.🤣
@@Baebae1947 as for the channel, I just grab my phone and say my mind while I walk after dinner and upload on the road. As you can see, no editing, no camera, no animation, no call to sub or do anything, no advertising. I have 4 brothers and 4 sisters and nobody knows I even have a channel. I am not saying i would be a millionaire if I was to put an effort into it, but my skills can yields better returns when used somewhere else. So between my software job, the interpreting gig and my family, I only have that 10 minutes for YT while I walk. But I am ok bro. Don't worry about my channel. In actual facts I have more subs than Elon Musk, Bill Gates and pope Francis combined, if that's the yardstick for success 😆 🤣
What is the idea?
This is all a scam
that's how my wife and i started our english learning studio, we didnt have time for family and life, which is totally normal to live in most oriental countries, so we decide to quit our job first when keep trying different things until we found a little succuss. and voila! tripled our income in 2 year!
Nice to know 😊
Wow, how did you do it?
@@mkleng we first tried e-commerce, like a lot of guru claimed that you threw shxt to the wall then i would stick, but we couldnt make sustainable income for 6 months so we decided to do something that we had done before - teaching. long story short, you can pick a service that you can provide to people, because this is literally the easiest thing for most of us, you use your time to trade money. you can tell me what you do and what you good at so we can brainstorm for you together. right now we are also trying youtube and tiktok after developed our learning studio
Brilliant video. Thank you for the shared information and books. As someone starting a business, I would like to mention the book 'The Hidden Truths Of Wealth'. In the book, the story goes really deeper into the secrets of money and making it, so I recommend the book. Congratulations for the video.
I personally found it on a page called "Borlest"

This video is PURE GOLD! Will definitely be watching it over and over again. Thank you Ali!
The timing of this was so spot on. Massively helpful and exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much for putting it out!
I have booked this week off work to get mine started. I have had a slow start but finally picked my name, I am just working on my brand and will start my website tomorrow. I have been sitting on this for many many years - 10+ years! Bold action for me this week.
Rachel mate I think you missed the point of this video. Forget the website, forget the name. Go call three friends and ask them if they want your services!
@@WiktorJurek This!
@@WiktorJurek exactly. And to take things to the next level, actually ask those same friends to pay in advance, even a little bit.
@@bruce0750ha! Good luck with that. Friends paying you for some vague idea you have. Ever heard of Ponzi? If friend start to give you money for nothing, you probably have got stupid friends.... or maybe generous friends😂. Most people starting business will have to use their own damn money to show something. Then if they are lucky to have rich family they could use that. These book theories do not work in real life. And actually how many friends do you personally have that could sell you an idea with no poc,no prototype etc and you start giving them your money? Be honest
Good work, but like others have said, contact a few potential customers to find out if it has legs. Before I started my marketing consultancy I was working with a few local businesses before a website.
Absolutely love how to summarize tips in the simplest way! Thank you!! Very inspiring!
I'm thinking to put some cash in stocks, I was at Salt Shack and i overheard some friends saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
Off course, but Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
Elisse Laparche Ewing is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
So pumped to read this book.
I started before I was ready. Even my channel. Such a crucial statement. Just f#$%ing start.
I bought both of your books this weekend! I can't wait to apply them to further grow my Notion Consulting business.
I just started a mobile Hairstylist business!!! I'm so glad you posted this video!❤
Have to say that is such a great idea. Good luck to you!
Respectfully, the hell does that mean?
@@animista9824 I thought/think it means that there is a traveling salon which can drive around town and go to office buildings. People can come downstairs to get their hair cut, instead of driving across town to the salon. Like how a food truck is equipped to cook food and serve it right there, so you don't walk to a restaurant, you can just go downstairs.
I just finished reading this book. I really like how approachable the book is, Noah is super approachable and he makes it feel very doable. Highly recommended book!
I am so happy with the new feature: (Voice translation), Keep going Ali🎉🎉
Food for thought --
The big reason why this book is covered is because these guys know each other and the book just came out. So, for marketing.
Yup, they help each other. But that's not wrong. Plus, that doesn't mean what's in the book is wrong or bad, right?
@@unicornopia book quality is a separate discussion. But if the big reason you’re hearing about it now is due to marketing (and not say, a year after the books been out), well, I’ll leave you to decide how you want to trust the messaging and intention from influential people such as them.
Food for thought -
Are you here to determine if the video is for marketing purposes or to capture information that is worth learning?
@@payne8506 the purpose is clear as day and I'm just dropping my thoughts :D like every other commenter.
food for thought - are you here to determine whether I am here to determine the purpose of the video?
@@unicornopia It doesn't but it compromises the objectivity of his review.
The founder first approach was my 1st business venture 😂 omg
I'm so glad I've been changing in 2023.
Today, I was searching for business-related knowledge, and you dropped a video. Thanks, Ali!
Ali, thank you so much for your content. I found and subscribed to you recently on RUclips and cannot stop watching your videos! I have some business ideas, but I had found business approach and have never gotten started. After this video it will change. Thank you so much ❤
I got this book yesterday just waiting to finish another book before I get to it but the customer first approach for proof checking the problem you're trying to solve is brilliant. Thanks Ali!
I just started a media agency, this video is really helpful. Thanks ali!
Same here! Dream Now Media
Great work bro, thank you. I'll keep in mind customer first approach is key
I've been putting off talking with people about my idea for fear that no one will buy my service, but I'm realizing that is foolish. Instead I keep lamenting on the lost revenue I am not making each week instead of focusing on what I need to do. Thanks for being that voice to push me forward!
totally got you man
this is what i just wrote above - this is a terrible idea. Your customers might not be the people you know, they could be all around the world. Relying on people around you to ask them if they will buy before plunging into the world of business is a bad model to follow. If everyone had to do this then we wouldn't have a lot of successful entrepreneurs. Do customer, market, product, and competitor research and analysis then once that gives you a thumbs up, proceed in small doses then use your own already customers to ask them directly how to improve (many successful business people did this and are still doing so, including steve jobs,etc.). Why do you think people run surveys, tests, etc? The people you know might not always be useful.
Imagine a software developer trying to build an app to automate daily processes on excel then ask his mechanic neighbour if he would be interested to integrate that into his business, the answer might be no due to cost and simply whatever process right now is working - people aren't always interested to change. With your approach, this would be the end. A business minded person, will know this is not how you get real insights. Sometimes it is, but most of the time - no. Even the silliest idea that no body around you find useful might be lucrative
Ali is beyond amazing. “How to secure wealth”
Making money is action, keeping money is behavior and Growing money is knowIedge.
I am fortunate I made productive decisions that changed my life forever (accumuIated over a MiI) through my finance-mentor. I'm a single parent, bought my house in January and hoping to retire at 53 by next year.
sear ch the name, lf you care.
*Rebecca Martin Watson*
l’m amazed to partake on this, lt has rekindled the fire to my goals
Thank you.
Told myself this year *it’s time to stop thinking and walk the thought*
If you are interested to make money from youtube then watch my new video ( youtube 101 )
taking action makes me feel less anxious
This video provides a fantastic guide for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to kickstart their first business in a weekend. 😍
In my humble opinion, this is the best book explanation video that you have made! Thank you Ali Abdaal! Keep going!
“The tyranny of how” - So true and I love hearing the little hints of TR’s influence in your content. I like “Now not how” too and will download Noah’s book now. Thanks for all you do Ali! Keep the great videos coming!
*I got the feeling that Ali just saved me 7️⃣ years of figuring out how to build a business.*
*God Bless you brother 🙏*
Clearly and beautifully communicated as always
Amazing, this comes at a perfect timing because I'm in the process of starting a new business
I was watching and listening to Noah's content before. You showed it in a great angle Ali. I love what you do. Inspiring.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I feel like this video may have just saved me years of my life.
Love Ali's video! They are helping with my productivity of balancing a normal job and trying to get my RUclips channel consistent!
I'm in pursuit to make my first $1 by 31 March. Glad I found this video and book at the right time.
The video is so concise and you summarise the book so well and give great advice. Thank you, Ali! 🎉
Was hoping for this video to come out before I got the book - thanks Ali!
Thank you, Ali, for the Arabic translation ❤
started my channel watching your videos 🙏🏻 love your videos always ❤
Definitely listening to this one after seeing your videos on learning and active recall. By the way I'm from Lesotho, how long did your family spend there before moving to England?
*First 54 seconds on notification. Hi Ali, so happy to watch this new video. Thank you for inspiration. Keep up! 💻🍵*
Super valuable advice about validating your idea first by talking to people. I think many people are afraid of their idea being a failure from the start. And yet they do waste time implementing this first, before eventually failing
Amazing value in such a short video! It's perfect - no fluff.
Just what I needed ☺️ thanks as always Ali!
I was planning on side hustle. Its a boost.🎉
🤔I'm thinking of a business idea of how to easily cover a pimple on a male's nose. It would be just a pencil looking product. Just one stroke of a pen and you're on your way out. There's make-up but I would call my product Mark-up. Thanks the inspiration Ali. 😂
Ali's energy is so inspiring, love how passionate he is about entrepreneurship.
Ali is always so on point at the right time
exactly:)
This actually helped clear my head. I always thought something was wrong with me.
Thank you so much Ali!!
Thanks for sharing, adding this to my TBR
Ali, you make my life better!
God bless you for what you do.
Thanks for a great content, Ali! Would love to get a copy of this book now!
Your videos are just too good 😩 thanks so much Ali!
Please talk about the 3rd step ( Grow it ) , I appreciate your efforts and help ❤❤
I've always enjoyed your contents, practical and sincere advices! Thanks Ali!
I just opened my RUclips channel after I decided to just get started and grow from there.. your videos are so helpful for me! Thank you for the inspiration 🙏🏻
I found this helpful, thank you!
Light bulb = On
Thanks for sharing Ali 🙏
Thank you for a wonderful explanation on how to build a business. I gotta show this to my kids when they are old enough and hopefully by that time, my business is already profitable and successful ✨
@Aliabdeal is this your account @aliabdaal ?
youtube is such a syndicate. my heart sinks. keep shilling each other's stuff.. keep making money and keep telling people that success is just little bit ahead. i like how noah made all the rounds of the big podcasters with his book which basically can be dialled down into: find an idea, get someone to pay for it. the thing is if noah wasnt born in silicon valley and had become friends with tim ferriss, he would never have made it this big. that is the secret which people dont talk about.
1000% true. Generational wealth and nepotism affords most successful entrepreneurs the time to hustle and access to the right minds and capital to move things forward.
You’re spot on..
Ok but what’s your solution here ? Should we sit on our hands and do nothing ? I see these videos as short term inspiration and not a blue print for success. Something to spark that little flame to help take a step in the right direction to better myself. I don’t see anything wrong with that. And it sure beats watching baby reindeer on NF.
I just listen to Noah on Steve Chou's podcast promoting this book. Interesting guy with some good things to say.
Hi Ali, It is amazing that I heard about this book and read it almost one year ago and I started my youtube channel few months ago. i am feeling good about what I am doing now. good luck
Amo la pista de audio ❤
Perfect time ,i ve started 2024 jan, mobile maintenance business in Ethiopia.
I love this summary of book, i find reading book boring but listening to people is interesting for me
Your channel serves as a guiding light in the quest for productivity and fulfilment. Thank you for equipping us with evidence-based strategies that truly make a difference!
Danke Ali für das tolle, informative Video. Aus dieser Perspektive habe ich es noch nie gesehen. Danke auch für Deutsche Audiospur👍😀
Hey Ali, loved the video, but I have a question, your audio is amazing bro, is the room treated? Would you mind telling me whats the size of the room, how much space there is between you and the wall in front of you and if you have sound panels on that wall? Thats a sure mike? All the best
I just bought that and started reading it! I started the challenges.
most people used to procrastinate about starting a business, but this video change the whole idea to start a business.
Very great lesson! Just in time when I was crafting my own ideas of business
Thanks again for another super valuable video, starting a business is transformational 🎉
This is inspiring, thanks. Great clear audio too 🎉
Those merch sets are tempting, 25 winners it's gonna be! I'm aiming for one on May 17, love the hoodies and caps
I heard a word that describes me a lot: plancrastination. And it's worse with me because I have a degree in project management, which means I both know better and know better how to delay getting started.
Thank You Ali
Always ❤ your content!!!
you've earned a subscriber.
thank you a lot for making this video, Ali♥️
This was the actual practical video that I was looking for, not some another same copied ideas!
Well explained. Thank you for bringing up this video. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject ..... Thanks to Gianna Everett the lady you recommended.....
No doubt!! I never knew she had gone viral. I decided to back up my assets and property with her when we met at a conference in New Jersey for the first time.
Her method Surprises me. When I saw testimonies all over the place I thought it was made up of stories till I gave it a try and honestly I made a vast profit.
Wow, you know Gianna too? I thought I'm the only one she has helped work through the fears and falls of the forest. Her trading last week was amazing and the strategies she applied were mind blowing...
Investing appropriately today can save you a whole lot of stress in the near future, so anyone who is not investing now is missing a great Opportunity.
As of last week I counted on $5,000 but don't just know how to diversify it.
One of your most inspiring videos!
Thanks for this video. it really helped me and I learned a lot.
yk i am sure you get these comments a lot but genuinely thank you for sharing so much knowledge to all of us for free. u are changing life positively. my best wishes and support always with u. u are a pure gift to the humanity :)
Any thoughts on how to apply these concepts to product based businesses? Particularly those that are not inventing something new. Nearly all examples were service based or intentions
If people are already buying your product or a similar one, then your idea might be already validated, but the question becomes how do you get them to buy from you? What's your USP?
Does step one contradict the notion of setting goals and planning how to get there?
Thank you so much Ali.
This is it❤
you saved me man I was about to give up thankyouuu
This is really helpful, going to try this out forsure!
Humble request please continue making these kind of videos🎉
Excellent video! I've learnt a lot from it. Many thanks!
Love this video brother, thanks for the information!
All I can say is Thank You...Ali
Thank you Ali🤲🏽
Noah gives such great advice.
