3 Bad Habits Holding You Back from Financial Freedom

Hi Ali big fan i am 11 years old and love your videos want to be like you when i am older i also attended your annual webinar last year keep the good work up

[@AnaLeiman]

@@user-qs8rd5kp3qthis is so cute! What a great aspiration from 11 year old!

[@AnaLeiman]

Thank you Ali! I am on this journey now and can tell you that all of the advice is relevant though I would probably add another one : the habit of impatience or instantaneous gratification! Once you overcome it, will be easier to be on that fast lane path!

I have 2 kids and a full time job. I woke up an hour early to work on my Etsy shop side hustle every morning, as long as I progressed a little bit today, I feel good. It’s true that “A lot of the anxiety comes from not doing the thing that you know you supposed to do “ I watch Ali’s video regularly, thank you for sharing and you inspired me 😊🎉

[@sanagour4313]

That bit on anxiety from not doing what you're meant to do are words of gold. May you grow to build a successful business.

Frugality lets you maintain a balance where only your priorities come first , leading you to a secure financial future. I am avoiding debt , saving and investing around 40 percent of my income. I have a high paying engineering job, and I live upstate MN. since covid my expenses are extremely low. I have zero debt on a 7 figure portfolio, low rent and car paid off. So i can just save. feel lucky and grateful my fiduciary came into play.

[@sethahmad]

Hi

[@deehkay26]

As a people pleaser, I find it really easy to get sucked in to hanging out with friends/family instead of holding myself accountable to the plans I make for myself, especially when it comes to learning. With that being said, I'm going to take away that it's okay to say no sometimes and set the intention of working on myself for select time blocks throughout the week.

[@emi62507]

By far my favourite video you’ve made. I’ll correct these bad habits, but for my studies. I hadn’t even considered habit one, in terms of financial freedom, so that is a game changer

[@sethahmad]

Hi

[@OtakuOG]

As a self-published author trying to market my debut novel, I find that the skill or action-point I'm trying to learn and improve upon is networking. I've been going to stores, cold outreach libraries and other book retailers to see if they'd carry my books. I got some rejections, some ghosting (which I'll be following up with an in-person visit) and then I got some wins. It's a windy road but I'm sure with consistent and persistent action, I can generate enough awareness towards my book by networking. 🙏 One big win I had was my old high school accepted my book into their library collection 😁😁 Very happy about that!

[@sethahmad]

Hi

[@joe_zupko]

the beginning is the hardest part... when nothing feels like it's working

[@CuriosityIgnited]

I’ve been on the slow lane to financial freedom for years, but realizing the importance of environment and action might just be the push I needed. Time to make some changes.

[@blackhawkthepirate]

The action point for me is spending consistent time each week to work on this. The example you gave of dedicating Monday and Tuesday after work makes a lot of sense, and I’m starting right now by putting it on my calendar for next week!

[@LalitDevraj]

[@miroalexanderhornung9905]

There is something I learnt 3 month ago - IFA - Insight for Action - From everything you learn, or hear to write down what is the insight, what does it mean in verious situations and what is the next action I can take to implement it in my life... an most importent do it. The action part is the one I often got stuck because I thought I had to learn more before I can start. ... building confidence in just starting an learning on the way ... Just start.. Thank you

[@Uzi_justliving]

We all have the same goal... we just taking different paths

[@kylevasulka8568]

I am in the school of inaction. I think part of why I am here is that, while I have read lots of books about how people have made it. I am under the impression that there are many more silent stories of people who didn’t make it. Which makes me worry that I won’t succeed. Which makes me think I need to hear more success stories so that I can know there is a high likelihood that one of these 10 paths will work with greater than random chance probability

[@jg9425]

Not the first video I'm watching from you but still new to your channel. Really liked your point #2 about consuming a lot and not applying the tips given. I recently realized I make a lot of excuses, working 2 jobs and trying to grow my business and with all of that 2 kids under 3. I know I'm wasting time left and right but I also know I stopped saying "I should" and now I'm telling myself "I will now". Great video.

[@maryamrahman8344]

Congratulations to you and your new wife! FINALLY, we got to see her....always wanted to know who this mysterious "girlfriend" was! Only one advice from me: I once read it's pretty simple to keep a marriage alive if you remember 2 rules: Attention and Appreciation. Be fully present with them as often as you can, and when you get into an argument, always remember the little things you love about them. This works, because on the flip side, when your partner no longer gives you the attention you need, you feel withdrawn from them little by little, until you know what happens. But if your partner was to remind you daily of all the little things they are grateful for about you (doesn't have to take long), then you will feel like you are truly loved and can never be replaced in their life.

I'm going to start hanging around and getting to know more like minded people. It is like you said in the video really hard to go at it alone.

[@zerostozeros]

Everything you said in your video is 100% correct. However, I subscribe to a video you did a while back, where you went on the journey of less is more by getting rid of all your stuff and traveling. People's goals should only be partially focused on financial freedom, but deciding what you "love" to do is equally important as long as it also brings value to the marketplace. Even if you fall short of your financial goals, at least you've spent your life doing what you want to do. Life is really about what you do and who you do it with. A 90-year-old world traveler taught me this lesson.🤗

Still, I'm not moving to make my social media successful, so I need to start posting more and learning by trial and error. I also find that I am not surrounded by like-minded individuals, which has inspired me to look for groups for women entrepreneurs, which could help my motivation!

[@KaelJadonDavis-x7z]

I swear, I don't know if you know the value of showing us that little hiccup at 4:11, because it's always one thing to tell people about the small and big mistakes you've made, but it really breaks that "good grief, they can't be human" barrier to watch someone you look up to go through the human motions. XD Thanks for keeping that in there Ali; as tiny as it was, it's still a reminder that none of the mistakes big or small can really stop us from getting to where we want to go.

[@karimzahid5878]

Financial freedom and financial literacy are some of the most underrated forms of education one can have. At 8:45, Ali discusses the importance of acquiring the right knowledge to learn about finance, which is truly amazing to hear. Most KZbin videos are conclusion-based; for example, they suggest that if you do "A" for a period of 10, you will end up at "Z." However, that doesn’t happen for everyone. Leaving in the world of content, content consumption; Breaking free from "videos, courses, and tutorial loop hell" is difficult, as it prevents you from taking action. Thanks for discussing that as well.

[@proaccounting2023]

I have started my second channel almost 10 months ago but I was not very active until June 2024. Although I took it very seriously and uploaded valuable content twice a week the progress is too slow. I guess it is because my content is very specific and the language of delivery is not English. If I delivered it in English the chances of fast progress was higher. My main goal was to help immigrants who speak Farsi have access to the training and tutorials in their own language as they might have language barriers. I am not sure if I made the right decision to produce videos in Farsi. But I guess it is as it is and I cannot change the language now. But I am glad that I took action although the path to Financial freedom through KZbin is a bit more challenging but I believe that nothing is impossible in this world. At least I tried and that's what matters. Thank you for your valuable video. I personally learned a lot from you.
