Is there any way I can get a hold of a template of this Company Scorecard? I need it in my life ASAP!!

[@nuperspektive]

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

[@matthewgillespie]

🍀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. 🍀

[@zealous]

🍀 so good!! Thank you so much for sharing all of this so transparently!

Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.

[@OwenMuller64]

“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.” I feel fortunate to have made productive decisions that have had a lasting impact on my life. Through my finance coach, I've accumulated over a million and recently purchased my first house in January. I've also managed to pay off my mortgage and student loans, and now I'm focused on working towards my retirement by next year.

[@MichaelChase1]

That’s a just approach. I’m 40 but my financial life is a mess. Any ideas will go a long way in shaping my life and finances.

[@OwenMuller64]

I operate a wide range of investments and have achieved massive growth in my finances with the help of my financial professional, making my financial goal a reality.

[@workwithmaven]

Ali, it's so evident how much you care about people. Pulse check of your team is gold. So subtle, but so powerful! Thank you. I am incorporating this in my organization!

[@lyraluthuen]

🍀 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!

[@omphiledirero5622]

Doesn't it get lonely...😢

[@magician2958]

Love the way Ali is transparent with everything🍀

[@funnytv-1631]

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.

[@LazzarrusLong]

Love this! Thank you for sharing.

[@filipafialho]

🍀 please don't stop to make this king of content because it's super helpful for me and other people that are starting to create their own businesses! Thank you, Ali!

[@MattFischer123]

🍀 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.

[@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808]

Yes! Well-said.

[@cnsellon]

Agreed Matt. New KZbin channel. Interview owners/CEO on how they run their business. No judgement but an insight into different perspectives would be amazing for the audience!

[@SBAccountancyAndBookkeeping]

💯💯

[@ashvinpraveen]

🍀 learned so much and appreciate how deep and thorough this went! Watched till the very end and stayed engaged throughout!

[@alisoneber]

🍀 I always appreciate the level of transparency in your videos about what you do. In a future video, I'd love to hear more about your process of evolution in growing and managing a team.

[@mkravchenko]

☘️ one of my favorite videos from you guys. Appreciate the transparency and genuineness you provide us. I mean, to the actual numbers! Video was perfect length, got value from minute 1 to 33. There is simply nobody doing stuff like this out right now and it’s more than appreciated!

[@arikgray]

🍀 liked the examples of how you and your team use the apps, explanations of what you need from the apps; clarity and beauty, as well as excitement and you obviously enjoying it all, as usual.

[@clairegasamagera3777]

I always finish your videos Ali❤ sometimes listen two to three times especially the Deep Dive. Thank you! 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@kugelfunk]

🍀I'd love to see more about the behavioural side of things. How to keep the team motivated, engaged, and positive. While also making sure business requirements are met.Thanks

[@mollytt]

🍀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!

[@kaitlync6944]

🍀 - tbh I was planning to skim through this video via the chapters, but ended up watching all the way through because I loved learning about the “bts” of your business! Running a business is definitely something I would love to do in the future, so I’m definitely saving this for future reference :)

[@mikeyshah]

🍀🍀🍀Loved the walkthrough and how you use each app. Have pre-ordered your book.

[@HafizBehroz]

what is this green leaf mean at the beginning of your comment?

[@Slackhq]

This video makes us feel good about productivity! So many handy tips and tricks to get more out of Slack, thanks Ali!

[@RosaDaniello]

🍀I love your longer videos tbh. I am not at that stage where I have a team but it can feel overwhelming and I am grateful that there are people like you sharing knowledge and helping out immensely

[@LDesignerArtist]

🍀 What I appreciated the most was: your frankness & the sharing of data in an Easily Digestible Communication. Not too much lingo. Rather: relevant data in plain English. And you are clearly a remarkably able social being. Thanks.

[@amyaddison5967]

I'm on my pc so I can't leave an emoji... BUT *clover emoji goes here* This was such a great and informative video! Thank you for showing us HOW these programmes worked rather than just naming them! I have got such great insight from these platforms so thank you :)

[@SBAccountancyAndBookkeeping]

Your transparency about running a $4 million business is incredibly insightful and inspiring! 🚀💼

[@leemo-art]

🍀 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❤️❤️

[@kaidenreally]

🍀 the things I love about this video is not just about the tools that you talked about, but also some insights about how you use the tools to run your business, or rather, how run your business with the tools.

[@DingleDays]

🍀 Love this type of content because no one really breaks it down. People spend ages in trial and error and I love seeing other people's best practices for running the day-to-day. Well wishes for the book. Looking forward to the read.

[@CarlaConWifi]

🍀 after watching this I feel I manage my business so... wrong 😂 thank you for the transparency!

[@piroskavigh6359]

🍀 really loved this video. It was the perfect one to end my work day at the office. I cannot wait for your book Ali, I know it will be wonderful. These videos are so helpful, although I don't have a business I use a few of them, used a few of them and heard about the majority. Love the transparency as well, it's so refreshing to see someone be so open about numbers. Wish you and your team all of the success! 💌

[@lm10hdofficial]

🍀 Vintage Ali Abdaal content, love these long videos

[@Karen_in_Alaska]

☘️! Would love to hear your journey and thoughts on hiring. What was the role of your first team member, what roles came next, and did you have any struggles with knowing when to get help and what kind of help would be the most effective? I’m running a 6-figure business, and now trying to write a book, all solo. So I am the entrepreneur, the manager, and the technician.

[@lucialujambio]

🍀It is super helpful to have all the overview of what it is to run a business. I personally love that you are having the happiness of your team as a tracking item on your systems.

[@zenhengzz]

🍀 Thoroughly enjoyed the entire 33 minutes and 15 seconds of this video! Thanks Ali.

[@manumac]

Time to learn together!

[@KalleFlodin]

🍀 Would love to see more of these, so helpful! 😊

[@ariyooniyelu9249]

Awesome video. Thank you so much for putting this up for millions and more people to learn not only "what" is done but "how" it is done. Your courage to share your productivity knowledge and openness is rare. Thanks a lot!

[@jrtech3165]

Hey Guys, Your channel is 100% what I was looking for and need. I have taken lots of notes, I am a business owner in the IT space and will use your methodologies to get organized. Both personalty and in business.🍀🍀

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 .

[@BobbyKernsJr]

🍀 Your transparency is amazing, keep up the amazing stuff!

[@cnsellon]

🍀 love the insights around the business Opperations. Let’s be honest, most of us are winging it, and no fault of our own. You’ve got a great service or product and are in the trenches giving back to the customer and boom 25 years later it’s held together with shoe string, duck tape and sweat 😅 amazing to see behind the curtain and bring some of this insight into my own.

[@sunnystartupwards6668]

🍀 awesome. I love how you approach your business with joy, value alignment and effectiveness I love to see more of this.

[@erinsjourney315]

[@simishah2001]

🍀 this was probably one of the most useful videos from you - thank you! More of this please 😊

[@StacyWesson]

This was great, found a few new systems I may want to try and some use cases. I love seeing how other folks are using software, especially when it isn't how it was intended or just general neat things people do with software. 🍀

[@GreenFesh]

🍀 I love seeing information about e-tools that help manage time and business, it's super helpful because the amount of apps is just enormous and having someone help you navigate them is very useful especially in the context of running your actual business.

[@StereotypeNerd96]

🍀 Love this type of content and it helps so much! I don't know a lot of KZbinrs who are THIS transparent about business and it's crazy that you just give us these things for free. Would love to hear more about strategy--how you build hypotheses, test, and optimize around them (cause honestly, a lot of business is data-driven guesswork)

[@tharoon]

🍀 Didn’t really notice the video was long, I was hooked from start to finish. I’ll be re-watching this for sure.
