My honest advice to someone who’s burned out

[@aliabdaal]

Hopefully you found that useful Zak! And if anyone would like to sign up to the Business Class newsletter you can do so here: go.aliabdaal.com/doingtoomuch/ytbc

[@Alexwho256]

Hi Ali. pls check my email for refund！

[@Alexwho256]

Dear Ali Team, While exploring Ali's KZbin learning website 2days ago, I came across a $1 course that caught my interest. I decided to purchase it, but an error occurred, resulting in charges of $895 and $27. I was unaware that $922 had been spent. According to your website's refund policy, I am entitled to a refund for these erroneous charges. Therefore, I kindly request your immediate assistance in processing the refund for the aforementioned amounts. I initially contacted your team two days ago regarding this issue but have yet to receive any feedback. If I do not receive a response by the end of the day, I will be compelled to escalate this matter through an official complaint.

[@RikkeGade]

Hey Ali, could you please do an updated how to film KZbin videos with your iPhone? Would you still recommend the same microphone? Thanks for the always value packed content.

[@OnRoy]

and I did grab my phone and recorded my first video !

[@chinenyennorom822]

Thank you so much for this. I've been looking forward to this newsletter🎉🎉. So excited to read🎉🎉🎉

[@ReikiMasterCarlie]

" Identifying what is holding you back" is the crucial question that I should ask myself and try to get over the wall of the comfort zone so that I won't give up too early, try everything but still not successful in anything.🙏🏻 Thank you Ali for your advice.🌟

[@arthurlugauskas]

"why am i not already there?" fantastic question and strategy to use and reverse engineer what you should be doing, thank you Ali!

[@abbyrupert5555]

This is gold.

[@stacie7780]

Small business owner here 🙋🏻‍♀️ This was the advice that I needed: make growing my business my main focus and just start the YT channel for fun. Thank you, Ali!

[@adwithkrishna7954]

On the verge of burnout, and then came this video. Thank you so much, Ali, for your advice.🙂🙂

[@hnnhml]

Take care 🙏🏻

what by scamming pple nd charging 1000s per his courses?

[@stephaniechambers8036]

The switching of tasks or plans when coming up against my comfort zone. I’ve never felt so called out in my life. 😂

[@lauras5113]

SAME

[@OneinaMilianDesigns]

This video spoke to me ❤ I’m so guilty of doing too many things but now more aware of it and trying to prevent burnout.

[@hnnhml]

Feel ya

[@Ozeal]

ALI---Thank you so much for sharing this. So timely as I'm sitting at a coffeehouse right now trying to figure out my REAL goal. This right here ""why am i not already there?" " was such powerful advice. Appreciate all the work you do!

[@themultilingualfamilyhub]

Wow!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH. I love how Ali gives such amazingly honest advice, admitting that going full-time on KZbin is hard - he even says he doesn't recommend it, despite having this course to sell to aspiring KZbinrs like Zak (and myself, haha)! I love Ali's honesty and no BS approach to everything. This is also the first time I heard about the GPS concept, and it's super helpful! Thank you Ali, awesome content as always! Like Zak I've also bought your book and LOVED IT. I even mentioned it in one of my own videos and integrated some of my takeaways from your book into my own "system" on raising trilingual children. Thank you Ali, you're such a positive influence and have changed so many lives, including mine! xxx

[@themultilingualfamilyhub]

Sorry, just to add to that - similar to Zak, I'm also in a situation where I find myself juggling too many things. I have a part-time job, a freelance translation career, a KZbin channel, a KDP business, AND TWO KIDS (and a husband!). I'm really trying to grow my freelance business at the moment as it's my main source of income. I'm also trying hard to increase my income from KDP. As Ali pointed out, I have so much more control over these aspects of my life than KZbin so, f**k it, maybe I WILL take Ali's advice and take a break from YT and focus on growing my active income for now! But I do love YT, so maybe I'll scale down and make fewer videos for the time being while I focus on growing my business. Thanks, Ali!! Your video's given me clarity and actionable advice xxx

[@arifhossain9809]

Thanks Ali. I was struggling to do with one thing and struggle for one thing. My life was unorganised and was on verge of burnout. But this helped me understand what I am truly going for.

[@seanmartinflix]

This is why you're so big. Genuinely helpful make me question myself. Actionable steps. Very much appreciate.

[@estefaniaicardi]

Its definitely so easy to just try and do everything and anything and end up extremely burntout. Cant wait to watch the video!

[@hnnhml]

Couldn’t agree more 😅

[@user-mr8bs2ng3c]

Ali's videos always seem to come out at the right time. This is gonna help me so much to get over my little 'unproductive burnout' and focus on my 'GPS'

[@Abodino]

What I learned: Breakdown your Goals, then plan for it, and make a simple system around it. Thanks Ali❤

[@roshinisudhaharan5808]

This video popped on my feed at the perfect time (as I lay for a mid day nap after exhausting meetings) Been feeling overwhelmed juggling between many things. Commenting even before watching, I already know this is gonna be gooood😄Now back to the video..

[@hnnhml]

napping helps so much tho:D

[@TaylorFelts-Jr]

You work for 40 years to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k and above in a meme coin for just a few months, sometimes lesser and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.

[@CherylManiccia-gf5]

I believe that when God blesses it exceeds beyond my expectations. I know my Father in heaven is a generous father who provides the needs of his children.

[@TaylorFelts-Jr]

I can recall when I was homeless and faced with many things in life until $30,000 bi-weekly began rolling in and my life went from a homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer.

[@Jomarie-inala]

Hello, how were you able to achieve such a successful life? I work 3 jobs and have been trying so hard to pay off my loan for a while now, sometimes I feel so down of myself🤦🏼 because of low finance but I still believe in God.

[@preachchrist-always26]

@@TaylorFelts-JrI'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??

[@TaylorFelts-Jr]

Thanks to my co-worker whom God used to give a great opportunity of crossing paths with 'Mrs Caroline Hyde Barry'.

[@chevlim]

12:20 - 13:30 Everyone needs to listen to this!! So true

[@ForeverDansky]

Great video! Thanks so much Ali 👊

[@tullocksarah]

I LOVE how you write all this down on paper! 👏🏼 Thank you for helping people ❤

[@AnthonyMmohJr]

Loooool, I love your energy and your videos, you have this funny charisma about you. You very friendly and come across as genuine. I will be truly be continuing to follow your business building ideas. I have the exact same problem, stretching myself way too thin, too many thoughts and ideas. But no practical way to build a system of whats in my mind and turning it into real world content. But You have a lot of amazing ideas and strategies to undoing the knots. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing all this valuable knowledge.

[@abderrahimiken6505]

Identify your Goals, specify your Goals, find the possible ways and possible Plan to achieve your goal, and Focus on one plan and Road rather than getting exhausted trying to pursue multiple stuff at the time. Then make a System that will help you follow the plan and go from point A to point B... Amazing Video Ali! one of your best i have watched, Thank you a LOT!

[@wilbenportuguez]

I needed this video at the right moment. Thank you making this.

[@hopeinart-design]

I’ve been struggling with focus and often find myself overthinking my tasks. After watching your video, I feel more at ease and have a clearer understanding of how to focus better... Thank you so much❣️

[@bunnygirltheresa]

Lately I'm obsessed with your videos and I learned a lot. Thank you very much❤

[@sarthaktakiar9524]

Thats the exact think that I have been facing myself. Thankyou so much Ali! Love you!!!

[@jessicamalo6922]

Your book Feel Good Productivity is so good! Honestly the most engaging and easy to engage with book in the personal development genre I’ve read anytime recently

[@Sonickaminari]

Ali you always bring peace to my mind soooo thanks a trillion

[@nsaba8957]

Thank you so much for this genuine advice. It’s for Zack but many of us are struggling with same problem.🙏

[@coxbright]

Wow that was a great watch. I feel very similar to Zak with trying and wanting to do too many things at once and not having the time for all of them (even though I know I need to be just focused on One Thing). So this video really resonated with me. Thanks Ali and the team!

[@ChiHangLiu]

Good to hear your honest comment that running a YT channel is extremely HARD!

[@Jpmagictravel]

WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!!! Perfect timing for me! Thank you!!

[@daniel_robledo]

I'm loving this less-structured videos Ali. When you said "sorry this is all scrampple up" I'd say is actually a really nice thing about the video, I enjoy listening to your honest thoughts as you go, keep it going if you also enjoy it. The final phrase of "KZbin is actually more enjoyable when it is a side-hustle" resonated with me a lot because the more I'm on this journey the more appeling the idea of being a 4-hour a day game programmer and a 2-hour a day youtuber gets for me. So it's always nice to have some external validation of that vision from people like you.

[@knglauren]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours! 😊So valued-packed. You should make more videos like this one

[@luciymilo]

Literally the YT video that just saved me months of not knowing what my best next move is biz wise, thanks Ali

[@LomeliSuave]

I love the video, but I would have to disagree with the part that you stated that it is easier to grow a business than to grow a KZbin channel. I would argue that is equally just as hard because having a KZbin channel is the same thing as having a small business. I know you have more experience than I do, but hopefully one day I will have a louder voice. Thank you for this video 👍🏽

[@noamay]

Problem is that learning also takes SO much time, watching so many videos/courses/conferences/etc. to learn, can takes away all of the time to be working on something..its difficult. 😅

[@Abodino]

12:47 This example is just real. We can't ignore it. Thanks man❤

[@ThomasP525]

Me who’s doing nothing: “Sure, I’ll watch.”

[@hnnhml]

😂

[@bassmanwho]

It feels like we are always being chased by something. That pushing us and got us running constantly. Insecurities, fears, wanting to success, etc.

[@sahildarji]

One of the most important lesson I've ever learnt so far. Loved the format. Loved the explanation. Keep it up, man...! 👍

[@itsheidyrosario.]

This was so helpful and could not have come at the most perfect timing in my life. Cause I be stressed.

[@Junotekh]

Bought your book yesterday, loving it so far!

[@aliabdaal]

Yay thanks ❤

[@richalist01]

😊 sir whenever I got some doubt about life your next video is always about my doubt 😊❤

[@cristianbacinschi]

The limiting factors part really opened my eyes up...

[@SabrinaCarpenter-xl9vu]

Im so happy that i have smart person like u in my life thx for all video💗

[@rajmeetsingharora]

12:57 The DRAMA Act is so relatable (and funny) Ali, it really helped drive home the point of this video :)

[@evayst]

Thank you for the advice! Looking forward to read more about the Business class newsletter !

[@CJ8382]

Thanks Ali again very insightful 🌼 As you were speaking at the start, I was thinking exactly "oh yes I'm stuck at 'the system' on many levels..."😂 Now clearer on right actionsteps😊

[@Edith864]

I really appreciate your honesty about the stress/hussle etc. for full time KZbinrs. I feel like this downside is mostly not shown/hidden. But we all need to see the full picture. Thank you, Ali 😌 And thank you for your prompts. 💡

[@bigunhettiarachchi853]

that was great. honest advice ❤❤

[@HarmoActive]

Ali, thanks so much for your work. I have found out about you thanks to your talk Mark Manson. I am literally taking notes watching the videos from you guys. Just ordered a copy of your book too. But this video, especially the bit about switching between goals and the need to identify the real WHY behind your different goals resonates so much with me. I will report here on my progress in 12 weeks. Stay tuned, folks!😊💪

[@AlhanRahimi]

Add to all that "too many things...", being a mom of two young children, having to continue the current job, taking care of the chores... and so much more ... the confusion is real

[@qqlife]

Thank you, Ali. It’s a really helpful video for sharing your ideas like this.

[@syedbilal07]

I just signed up for the business newsletter and those were some great questions. I've identified areas I need to work on and I haven't even got the first email yet.

My problem is I wasted a decade due to poor mental health and now I'm trying to catch up. Time goes so fast as it is, I feel I don't have the luxory to take it slow.

The way you make videos is just fabulous! I would really want to learn this.

[@nataliagutierrez2506]

Thank you , Ali . Found so much value in this 👌🏼

[@DanielExplainsOfficial]

In life you will realize that you cannot do everything you have find out, but rather you must find out what you can do with those. It's matter of can and cannot.

Golden video. So many nuggets of wisdom but when I reached 20:05, that was like the best concluding statement it was almost genius from how the writings led to that point. Thank you Ali!

[@-Epic]

Yes! I have been doing too many things I like yet it can be overwhelming and having burnouts, this could help!

[@AshleyAquilina]

What I would give to have Ali as a mentor for my channel!! Love this video - as I relate so much. I’m in London right now and as soon as we landed - told my husband “Hey that productivity KZbinr I watch lives here!” 🤣

Wow! I feel this so personal

[@suki1539]

Thank you so so much did this Ali and Zak! That’s exactly my question and struggles. Thank you for point it out, a lot aha moments there 😊

[@davidrodrigues9672]

Ali, I love your content, for several years now. I don’t personnaly know you. But I feel, as i look at you, for several months, that you are burning out. And it reflects on your content thematics and the way you approach it. You look so in a hurry, in a rush, nervous, even your schemes… big words underlines or rounded 10 times, pen falling from your hands ? I miss the young student with clean schemes, soft spoken explanations and methodic approach, even if he was way less successfull. Take care of yourself 🫶

[@khanhhanguyen2938]

This video gave me so much insight about my career path. Thank you for the advice!

I'm just after getting a rejection from a promotion I really wanted. The feedback was that I need developments in certain areas. I'm doing a part-time PhD and working full time as a manager. I'm trying to give my best to both areas. Maybe this what draining me out. I feel like completely lost and started watching this video.

[@LouisDillard02]

Reflecting on my past experiences, it's okay to ask for help and take steps to ensure a healthy balance between responsibilities and personal well-being.
