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

[@trendingtoday05]

I think you are using any online translator for your KZbin 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.

[@StarlasAiko]

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.

[@aadilsayed100]

so true

[@TimeforMyStuff]

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

[@BigBrother04]

So you have a business idea yesterday and all of a sudden, you are magically an entrepreneur. Yeah right.😂

[@Baebae1947]

[@BigBrother04]

@@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 😆 🤣

@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.

[@ReactiontoPsyche]

[@analystt99]

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

As recession fears mount on Wall Street and inflation remains well above the Fed's 2% target, some of the top commentators in markets, business, and economists have been sounding off on just how bad they think the next downturn might be - and how far stocks may have to fall. I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, my goal is to have a portfolio of at least $850k at the age of 60.

[@DaveXRP]

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past

[@OakJIM]

I just want to preface this with, I'm not a serial entrepreneur nor author of some book. But something with the phrasing around this video made me fall into disagreement. While a customer first product mindset is absolutely valid and maybe should be applied more often - I think its misleading or even wrong to recommend that you should sell something before you build it. In reality your customers are then not paying for a product, but for your idea - its why we have so many kickstarter scandals with products that never gets to reality. Its of course important to validate your approach and product, and its great if you can get people to commit and show their genuine interest, but not at the cost of paying customers that don't yet have your product in hand.

[@quantquill]

Also not a serial entrepreneur, but I've backed a few Kickstarters that turned into vaporwear, I get where you're coming from. The examples given -- dog sitting, meal prep don't require significant intellectual property or development time up front. These are "fast things you can create or offer to fix what bugs you and see if it bugs other people, too." If it does take a lot of time to build something, it's even more important to get feedback and understand what people are willing to spend money on. I think part of asking people in our network to be our first sales is because 1) if they're not interested, we know them well enough to ask them about what they really want (aka the dog walker vs dog sitter idea), and 2) they know us and likely trust us not to take their money and run, plus 3) we now have societal pressure to perform because it's awkward being at a dinner party with a neighbor who bought your $20 app and you never delivered.
