Thank you 💕💕💕 so much for the video 💕💕

[@francoisreynier1780]

This is a fantastic 'speaking from the heart' video full of insights any aspiring or established entrepreneur can learn from. Please do more of these 'behind the scenes' videos. Thanks for sharing your business journey highs and lows with so much honesty and integrity.

[@tobiasburkhardt7602]

In my opinion, this is 100x more valuable than the typical "10 tips for bla bla bla". Not to say these cant be valuable as well (really enjoyed the series on neurotransmitters recently), but for the entrepreneur segment of your audience, these are gold. Kind of like a nicer, more chill version of Mozi almost 😀 I've been watching your channel selectively for years now and if it was 100% content like that, I'd be watching every video front to back. I know, not representative probably, but possibly still interesting feedback for you to iterate on. Keep up the good work!

[@MiliVelikova]

You've always been one of the most transparent people on KZbin Ali, and I so appreciate that! I think for me, the most valuable thing is actually hearing the negative chatter in your head, and how you handle it. It's easy to assume that at the level you're at, you won't be facing such things (is this gonna be useful to anyone etc) - but it's refreshing to know that you've got to where you're at even with the doubts creeping in!

[@jozeft3259]

Hey Ali. This is probably one of the most valuable videos that I’ve seen you post in recent times. Yes, the format is not optimised for maximum retention nor is it directly valuable for your primary demographic, however, for smaller demographic of people who are serious about building online businesses, this is invaluable.

[@FE-fs1su]

I watched the whole video without skipping. I sincerely want to thank you for being so transparent about the massive work you have done, showing all the details, the brainstorms, diagrams, everything... You can't imagine how big of a value you provided. I love love love these backstage videos!!!

In a bid to make america great again we are giving out free cybertrucks.

[@anasm.al_qadhi71]

Ali, Ali, Ali, The best time of the year is seeing you reflect on your journey. I've been following you for almost three years, and your life story always inspires me. I'm not sure why, but I’ve found so many things that resonate with me. I’m not saying you’re perfect, but I do see you as an honest person, at least from my perspective, who truly wants to make a difference in people’s lives. Much love to you! My prayers are with you. :)

[@paulrichardson6]

Just wanted to say this video was really useful for me. Seeing behind the scenes is really helpful, and not enough people do it. Please never stop making them

[@BluHound51]

To be honest, I like these longer formats and calmer bg music. It feels like we're just having a chat drinking tea and hanging out.

[@wonderlandfortina]

I think this kind of video is extremely helpful. 1) it provides emotional value to the audience. People will know successful KZbinrs like you even have this struggles and challenges and it tells the audience that it is normal to have these struggle feelings. 2) It shows more personalities of you, which helps to build more personal connections and loyalty to your channel. 3) It is not solely about emotions and struggles you are encoutering, you also shared lessons that you learned, tools that you think it is super helpful, which set up a causal and nice pace.

[@beastmod7318]

I had to comment. I'm also a doctor working on a product but the perfectionist in me hangs me up in the middle of creative process... your IDEAs HELPED ME !! BY .1. READY, FIRE, AIM, 2. "Refunds are my friends" as i was stuck in quality of my product. Thanks a lot man. you always help in your own way. Keep being you...... LOVE

[@MoneyMindset-c1w]

Good luck 👍

[@Egycast1]

This is (by far) the best video I’ve seen all year. Thank you Ali for the behind the scenes look at your venture. I never comment but felt obliged to do so ❤

[@zisancihangirisin]

I watched it until the end. First of all, thank you for being very clear. As a young business owner who has nothing to do with KZbin or being a creator, I have already read almost all the management, entreprenurship, and productivity books. I have been following your channel for over 5 years now. My favorite videos have always been the background of the business videos such as this one. I re-watch the how much money the business has made, business finance, and the annual review videos. I find great value from watching these kind of videos. Please continue. Loved the book by the way. Congrats.

[@mindbodycoach]

Absolutely love this video. If you’re looking for ‘quick tips’ then it’s the wrong one. If however you’ve experienced any of what Ali talks about, or you want a real taste of what the journey of building a product, with a team, actually feels like, then the video is a 10/10. There are some major pain-saving bits of advice within.

[@mindmapping765]

Is this through chatgpt?

[@rawfootagegirl]

other comment inspired me to write this one , it echoed a bit of my sentiment: I was going through a lot and saw productivity lab grow in a sort of screen door fashion, its really cool to have a proper dissection on this, and as I said in one of my previous comments...its really cool you put this out there ! its great for future business culture, I think

[@alkistisgee354]

what i took out of this: i am in the process of starting my own project/side hustle for the first time, so it was really helpful to get this level of detailed insight into your process of building a business, the brainstorming process, the name - i feel like a lot of the advice out there is much more general so this was almost like a case study of how you did it - thank you!

[@StereotypeNerd96]

What's useful for me is seeing your philosophy on how you do business! I'm probably going to remember "Ready, fire, aim" as a really useful mnemonic for the iterative process to product dev. It's also nice to see the unfiltered reality of launching a product, that even Mr. Ali Abdaal with all this experience and success gets some things wrong. It's nice to remember that entrepreneurship is a very human endeavor.

[@Miinafest]

Ali, this was exactly what I wanted to watch today. I listened to the entire video while running errands and it was nice to keep my mind stimulated while doing mundane tasks. As a new KZbinr I’m always looking to increase my productivity and learn more about entrepreneurship. I previously owned a small business and fell into massive burnout. Thanks for sharing the bts of your business ❤

[@teresaheath-wareing]

I'm halfway though this video and you have just said will people even like this video - I just wanted to say I am loving it! In fact I already feel like I need to watch it again. Thank you

[@WesterElias]

Loved that you showed visuals and actually went entierly behind the scenes to show the thought process and the conversations between you and the entire team. It's easy to give people steps. Ex. Do market research, validate your offer, etc. And leave it at that, without going into so much detail. But this was really a whole in-depth masterclass.

[@MahTahan]

I liked this video because it felt like having you around and brainstorming / sharing your thoughts out loud. Rather than just giving out what the person SHOULD do or learn, we were seeing the thinking process raw from your end. It helped validate that this is a thing, but also to see how things can move forward. I also liked the parts that are focused on seeing the whole process, as someone who is trying to start my own business now, and would like to have more deep dive on that

[@dulchk]

this is super interesting!! Seeing the business from inside, the process, the brainstorming, the struggles, of course this is valuable!!

[@mylakipish]

Ali, I usually never comment on people’s videos, except when there’s something in the video that strikes me - like you questioning whether this ‘very long-chatty-detailed-random-facts type of video’ is even useful to anyone. So to keep it short, this video was SO useful to me, to the point that I decided to make this comment ;))) (in hopes that you see this & never stop making such videos) !😇

[@RayyanBinRaheel]

I easily get distracted when the video isn't optimized for retention, but this time, even though it wasn't edited, I ended up watching the whole thing (the bg music was cool too). It felt like having a conversation where learned invaluable information about entrepreneurship. TY💝

[@jordanpearson256]

Productivity pirates is not it sorry Ali. However, I loved the video. These types of videos make me click instantly compared to other videos because I know you are being authentic and making videos you want to make. They inspire me so much to be a successful uni student, KZbinr and business owner. I feel lucky to have had access to you over the years and become the best version of myself and know I can do anything. I can’t thank you and your team enough Ali ❤

[@paulhoovdaddy]

Nah I love productivity pirates. Ali you should trust your instincts

[@CarlosRosario84]

I'm glad you made this video it reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, $34k monthly and a good daughter full of love.

[@CarlosRosario84]

Making touch with financial advisors like Elizabeth Regina Nelson who can assist you restructure your portfolio, would be a very creative option. Personal financial management will be crucial to navigating the next difficult times.

[@CarlosRosario84]

Thanks to Mrs. Elizabeth Regina Nelsen's time in my life, which had a profound impact on me.

[@anna_lena0607]

I watched the whole video and for me personal there where sooo many information I wouldn’t get elsewhere. You mentioned quite often, you would not know, what this sort of Video would give a person. But from my point of view it’s a complete new perspective on a topic I don’t know much about. So thank you! Loved the part about the whole refund topic and how it makes you feel.

[@Godsfavor923]

I found this immensely useful as someone looking to start multi million dollar businesses with no business experience. These types of videos help me brainstorm and expand my vision. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@drwolfik]

What?! This is a unique (!) video that is extremely helpful for me and our project/business. Thank you VERY MUCH for filming and publishing it.

[@bambitsunami4165]

I loved this! Watched the whole thing. I'm trying to become an entrepreneur, so seeing the behind the scenes like this gives me some idea of how much, and what kind of work it takes. And I got some interesting tactical ideas: the ludicrous money back guarantee, ready fire aim, the question for improvement with the refund, how to think about refunds, the point about improving product vs setting expectations.

[@sebastianfrancog]

I find really interesting how the videos you say are not that interesting and the views won’t be that high are usually my favorites, and I have already forwarded this to 3 people in different sections. It also helped a video this long is on a weekend because I would have skipped during the week. Everything was very valuable, but I have friends starting businesses so I thought of them a lot .

[@ronbeaubien]

OK. I made it to the end of the video. At no point did I consider not continuing to watch. I got a lot out of it. I thought this was a masterclass in business building. It was really fascinating seeing the behind-the-scenes view. I learned a lot from it.

[@subhampaul2319]

One of the most valuable video ever. I loved how you walked through all those steps, learnings and all vulnerabilities as an entrepreneur. O would love more such unfiltered videos of behind the scenes in the near future.

[@roseannabryan]

I just watched the entire video start to finish, these are my fave videos from your channel. The really behind the scenes in depth long form. So interesting, thank you for being so open, honest and sharing.

[@MoneyMindset-c1w]

You are welcome.

[@Rich_Cranium]

This was a great vid Ali, love watching how the chef makes magic. What I got out of this video as a young professional in STEM is the blueprint on 1 way you can start a community. It’s not the way I plan to do it but it no doubt showed me some of the things I might have to consider along the way.

[@RajTheFilmmaker]

At 1:24:00 , you asked for comments, and I realized I should share my thoughts. As a marketing consultant, I focus on creating offers centered around systems and processes. This discussion has been incredibly insightful in helping me understand the level of effort required and the key areas of focus I would need to prioritize if I aim to build a million-dollar product in the future.

[@molecule101]

The fact that nobody talks about the book Matrix Golden Cashflow Tactics, speaks volumes why people dont earn a lot of money..

[@CorneliaIndoorCyclingVideo]

I found your perspective on consistency versus intensity to be the most valuable part of the video. It's really helpful for prioritizing tasks and goals.

[@icecaper]

Absolute gold! A very honest show and tell, especially your pain at seeing people complete the course and then do nothing….. 😮. Your process has sparked a lot of ideas for my B2B project, just need the “heart to start” as David Kadavy wrote. Thanks again..

[@thomasnewman5497]

Hi Ali. I loved the video. Thank you so much for putting it together. I have owned an online tuition business for the past 8 years that's in the middle of a major reboot, so this was very timely. I really enjoyed how transparent you were about the whole process. I loved the stuff on the importance of intensity over consistency for product development. Your delivery style is great, very natural. If this had been scripted or rigged out to maximise engagement, it would be like every other video currently coming out. Keep up the great work!

[@witekzak]

Ali, I will watch anything you put out, I just like hearing your thinking process delivered in this nice chatty way. Keep posting however long videos you want 😊

[@stivenrosales9027]

I love these formats. I hope to have more videos like this soon. Thank you very much for everything Ali

[@evanp.3815]

Hey Ali! I'm Evan, I'm starting a business and committee at 16 years old centered around Social Emotional Learning and Social Media respectively- fulfilling my passion of Psychology & Education. As soon as I saw the title of this video, I knew I had to watch it. I saw it all the way through and the amount of insight I have is unparalleled. What I appreciate most about this video and you in general is your philosophy around selling to people. You're not selling to customers, to numbers on a screen, these are all human beings on the other side and that's something you place first, something that can't be said for most. You care about bringing value to people's lives, pure value, and as an aspiring educator and entrepreneur, that's something I will imitate on my endeavors. Seeing the Figma boards, seeing how you use emojis in your marketing and design, seeing iteration after iteration of the curriculum, and the impact the money-returns get to you, it speaks volumes, and it tells me your intentions are in the right place. I have much more insight on my early stage for my business, and I want to do it for the right reasons like you. I found this video to be incredibly valuable, thank you for making it 🙏

[@charlesbroomfield3362]

Videos like this are so valuable to me right now, thanks for showing what it looks like!

[@megabite3178]

Wow The customer service and transparency and knowledge and focus is so good

[@anushchandrashetty]

The natural, no filter presentation genuinely makes this video more appealing, as we are fed up of people just pushing advice in all forms of media. This video also highlights the lengths your team has gone through to achieve the business goals. Kudos to you!! 🎉❤

[@ali.cyberdefense]

Hey Ali, this video is a gem. Please share these types of videos as behind the scenes are really important as well and people give alot of 'shit' about it. I started two startups and failed. so you know this kind of help me understanding how to take care of those miskates next time.

[@DrNadaYounis]

[@èè-fày-chóó-qóó]

love that you made this video! i really appreciated the intensity concept and that whole bit, so cool to know as a new creator who's enjoying just doing a lot, badly but going for it anyways! it's so FUN!

[@WatersShuishali]

I learnt about goal, plan, system . Weekly review. And quarterly planning. Makes it seem more fun. And how much work it takes to make a product. I like the idea of a hour zoom work session. Thank you Ali. And team. I am going to buy your book. I have not bought either of your courses as I know I don’t have time and I would probably get overwhelmed. But this was so helpful. Also the spiritual challenge of being an entrepreneur. 😊I think productivity lab does not need to include access to you because you have put all of knowledge there for people. Which is a lot of knowledge and experience.

[@asholiviacouto]

Hi Ali! I liked Productivity Pirates. As a business owner it's always helpful for me to see how other people think. This video actually gave me an idea for a community that I want to ship in 2025 and some important considerations in structuring it, so thank you. :)

[@VincentMiaw]

1 key takeaway from this video is that people have all the knowledge and watch all the videos and haven't started anything. I've started my own channel but its a bit slow at 150 subs maybe because my videos are not a big niche. From your video i found out that i need to do more research or have a research team to do some research for me to push out more videos. Btw I love you videos all of it.

[@monicasdesignprocess]

I found this fascinating and super valuable, I watched from start to end (though I did pick it up at different times like first at at home, the gym, then at home again to finish). For me, it's insightful to hear the behind the scenes of running a business at this scale, so please keep sharing long form videos like this!

[@PreethyKrishna-f1z]

super helpful & want more!! really liked how realistic the time pacing is - would love more to know more about the team structure

[@mrzuzz]

[@sardurondesarges6675]

Ok this is like a masterclass for me. Aiming to build a own business / or lets say levelup my family as business into a real one. A lot of frameworks in there - and I love frameworks. Thank you.

[@inthemakingca]

Ali I love this because it helps me conceptualize if creating a community is possible on my own. I can see the stages you went through to creating it. Thank you ❤

[@Jingweltblade]

Pls Ali make more videos like this. As someone who is trying to build an audience and trying to memorise, it was soooo helpful. Really enjoyed every single sec of it. Also the productivity pirates is a sick name. It adds adventure to it. But I think the team didnt like it cuz it kinda makes it sound less professional, given that the customers are spending around 900 dollars. But do make more videos like these, really enjoyed it.

[@xeniyavolik1686]

I loved this video! I’m also working on my own project and I don’t have a team (not yet), it’s just me, so for me it was very valuable information! Thank you for all behind the scenes! It really opens up a whole new perspective 👍

[@perstarke1295]

Most helpful video I've seen in years, thanks a bunch! Also. Productivity Pirates would have probably gotten me to join :DD Love that name idea!

[@AliAhmad-ed5zq]

It was quite useful, I think the point of working with intensity to make a product instead of being consistent is very helpful. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@acfitweightloss]

Regarding the pricing part... You could experiment with a 12 week "accelerator" (£500-£1000) which covers the 3 months you were talking about, then have them graduate to the full Productivity Lab and use the annual billing you already used, because you only get the people in who really love it and the pricing makes sense for. The ones who would have churned after 3 months will leave at the end of the accelerator

[@catachinaok]

Hi Ali, nice to 'e-meet' you here. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and loving every single bit of it. I'm from Argentina but have been living in China for the last 8 years (Congrats on moving to HK, great place). First time I'm feeling the need of commenting on a video but, this hits different as I'm in the process of building a product myself and struggle with some things. Personally I think there's a missed step between 1) Set up a goal 2) Take action and here it is: MINDSET. I noticed that I have no problem coming up with goals I want to achieve and knowing the actions I should be taking in order to achieve it, however, the reason I failed is "wasted inner energy/resistance". This means: the internal struggle I face every time I want to go into a direction but my mindset or limiting belief tells me otherwise. I end up questioning myself and really slowing down the whole process.... I also believe this is the reason why most of us "fail" to even attempt to achieve a goal because we do get a burst of energy right off the start but that washes off as the resistance to change starts pushing you in the opposite direction with things like "You're not good enough" "It's possible for others but not for you" etc. We all know this inner shitty chat. Since I started working on my mindset and stop interrupting my own creative processes, I gained more confidence, less DOUBTS (confused mind always says no) and started moving forward. So my recap is: We all know deep down what we want and what do we need to do, however the reason why we don't do it it's because we think it's not possible (and try to find whatever reason to support this). Wish more productivity courses would include this. Grow your mindset, grow your business.

[@richardjones5967]

Really appreciated the openness in this video! Great to see inside the development process. My only gripe is you really should have said how WE built a business as your team were with you all the way! And yes… pirates harks towards something illegal and not being done properly - steer clear of that name!

[@NunoSousaPT]

As someone considering launching a product, this type of video makes me question my assumptions and consider other issues when building the product.

[@fabiusmagic84]

What I got from it is that I think it is great of you as creator and entrepreneur to be so open about your business..as external point of view I would say that I believe that improving your productivity means different things for different people so probably difficult to create a “product”..there is also no end point..yes the guy who created his app might have improved his productivity in the process but it is more of an ongoing exercise and recurring need..so as community with tools and systems to improve your productivity might work especially if everyone can pick what work for them..I think if you include this level of flexibility you will be fine..do not force it into a specific product because probably there is not such a thing per se..

[@vaverdugo2]

I listened to the whole video. I sometimes do something else but listen to long videos as if it was a podcast. I think what I got from it is an insight of all the process of creating a brand and a product which is pretty interesting being someone who has zero experience on how to do it. I have watched many of your videos and today you talked about stuff you never talked before which I found pretty interesting. I would like to soon join one of your programs and eventually start my own business and KZbin channel. Keep doing videos like these.

[@MoneyMindset-c1w]

Good luck 👍

I occasionally teach our customers how to use our product, and at the beginning, I received the same feedback-they felt overwhelmed. Currently, I’m using a gaming approach. In a computer game, the hero doesn’t learn all the skills at level 1 either. Every 5-10 levels, new skills and abilities are introduced. By the way, I think the “Productivity Pirates” idea is awesome. I wish you had do it. After all, it’s your course, and people book it because they like you. If you had implemented the pirate theme, it might have felt more authentic.🏴‍☠️ Thanks for the video-I really enjoyed it! :)

[@Jesupemiabere]

Fr This was really valuable Im still a student and im thinking of starting a business which will be more like a community type thing.

[@SomethingShared]

I kinda like Productivity Pirates! There’s an element of unexpectedness, of taking control, of the underdogs, etc.

[@shadmanulhaque]

My biggest takeway from this video is about focusing on momentum rather than consistency for launching a new product or service, a recemmendation from the book Ready, Fire, Aim

[@sarahhussain1511]

Thank you for sharing. This is very helpful for new business owners like me! Appreciate the generosity of knowledge here!

[@hilmak8286]

Hey! I usually do not comment on any videos but as you requested in the end, I wanted to give some honest feedback of this video 😊I'm currently starting my entrepreneurial journey, coming up with a business idea and refining that so it was especially helpful to hear what you concretely did in the beginning of the process (competitive analysis, dream outcome, "start-vehicle-destination", G=iv^2, "ready-fire-aim"). I got a tons of new ideas out of these how to apply these to my own "concept to execution"-process. However, all these came up in the first half of the video, and after that (after you started filming on the second day), I felt like the focus changed a bit; you started showing the Figmas/Miros (which is cool to see as well) but the focus was very much connected what kind of product names etc. you thought through with the team rather than just showing the overview of the process that "this is how much the product iterated, this is how many names we came up with". I think going so deeply into what is actually in the Figma-board will lose the kind of applicability for others to take that and apply it to their processes rather than showing only the overview of the product naming process etc. So maybe thinking "if I explain/show this to others, are they able to apply this to their own product building processes (or how much value they gain out of seeing all the little details of building the course structure etc.)" would help to shift the focus to have it on the actual process "from concept to execution" rather than going through all details of a course's history. But thank you so much for the video, got still many great insights from it and definitely more of these are welcome!

Absolutely brilliant content. Highly appreciate your transparency. That would be great to see how technically you've organazied operations of this business, like I've noticed a few tools like Slack, Zapier, Spiffy and how much effort has that required from you to implement all the stuff after ideation phase

It was a really insightful video. I learned some things to consider when building my business. It's really nice to see the setbacks that even "big" entrepreneurs face. Thanks, Ali.

Ali - as I am watching this video this is my third time writing a comment each time about different thing. so lastly when I reached the end you asked what I got from the video. I would say thanks for sharing your experience and you helped me to see what I would not do when I launch my product. I feel like at some points we are opposite so basically you showed the things you believe are right but for me they donts. So yeah getting to see my opposite will actually help me to self critic and really to find what is right for me to do. Also i realized I do not need to take any course or join any community other than just applying the common sense which is set goals - take action - adapt - repeat. Thanks again for these insider views hopefully we come across at some point. regards from Iraq. Mohammed

Watched to the end! While scary in nature, the idea of a “Ludacris refund policy” has given me the courage to start drafting out my first course offering! Thank you!

this was actually so intersting, and the name Productivity Pirates is quite funny, but not sure how long you keep the theme going :D
