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🎉🎉🎉

[@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!

[@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.🌟

[@adwithkrishna7954]

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

[@hnnhml]

Take care 🙏🏻

[@whereisarthur]

"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.

[@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

[@Mr.MBA.Official]

As always you’re great at improving people’s lives. Thank you so much for your service

[@LikePatrick.Official]

So true

[@bigshackfan9786]

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

[@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

[@chevlim]

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

[@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.

[@Mario-s9u1d]

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'

[@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!

[@seanmartinflix]

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

[@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!

[@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 😅

[@tullocksarah]

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

[@stephc8036]

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

[@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

[@Abodino]

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

[@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❣️

[@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.

[@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

[@CtrapWalter]

The true definition of, "Knowledge is wealth"

[@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!

[@luciymilo]

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

[@ChiHangLiu]

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

[@ForeverDansky]

Great video! Thanks so much Ali 👊

[@nsaba8957]

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

[@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. 💡

[@Sonickaminari]

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

[@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.

[@Abodino]

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

[@ASLpixelpaint]

This could easily be the most valuable video from you I’ve ever watched. If I had this 10 or 20 years ago it could have changed not only my life but my children’s. Thank you for such great content that hits SO CLOSE to home for me. 👍

[@wilbenportuguez]

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

[@sarthaktakiar9524]

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

[@chaupham4944]

Ali, please make a video on how you make quick notes with that mindmap effectively!! I'm so impressed by how you could listen to him and make notes that certainly help to summarise the problem !

[@sahildarji]

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

[@cherylrajewski3390]

I LOVED this video! Seeing how you broke it all down was so fascinating. I am always impressed with your content!

[@knglauren]

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

[@bunnygirltheresa]

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

[@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😊

[@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

[@Jpmagictravel]

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

[@chinenyennorom822]

Thank you so much for sharing this Mr Ali. Thank you for how much time and effort you put into communicating value to your subscribers.

[@SabrinaCarpenter-xl9vu]

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

[@Junotekh]

Bought your book yesterday, loving it so far!

[@aliabdaal]

Yay thanks ❤

[@cristianbacinschi]

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

[@valentinovergara5375]

Thanks for the advice Ali, the GPS, the three why's and the final conclusion are very consistent and a great advice for everyone who wants to set goals! ❤

[@richalist01]

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

[@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!😊💪

[@bigunhettiarachchi853]

that was great. honest advice ❤❤

[@nataliagutierrez2506]

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

[@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.

[@farhahesque]

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!

[@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 😊

[@rajmeetsingharora]

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

[@roycruz007]

Muchas gracias por el contenido en español recien descubri tu contenido y algo fantastico y revelador he estado pensando muchas cosas de las que hablas pero nunca lo habia aterrizado del modo como lo explicas, no pares de subir contenido en español estas cambiando mi vida, gracias.

[@itsheidyrosario.]

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

[@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.

[@evathegrowing]

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

[@gray_mara]

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.

[@khanhhanguyen2938]

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

[@Mentor-xl1gu]

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

[@-Epic]

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

[@punpunr.3703]

This really come to me at the right time

[@syedbilal07]

Needed this... Thank you.

[@UdhayasreeKrithika]

Thank you Ali...This video gonna help me a lot!!!❤

[@ShahreenH]

This video is truly amazing!

[@SidikaTuncCandogan]

21:04 very honest, realistic advice.

[@bhatuzair1212]

Thank you for being with us

[@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.

[@qqlife]

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

[@benasleo]

Love this format of videos!

[@NazeedaKors]

Really good video. Insightful and helpful. I like the leaning towards the psychology behind being successful and the steps one can take to take successful action! More videos like this please!

[@marinamacias3931]

Adore this form of content, truly valuable

[@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!” 🤣

[@umar_aez]

I feel like I want to grow my gold business now. Thanks Ali ❤

[@Watermelon_sugar18]

This has been immensely useful

[@smd716]

Alot of knowledge in one video

[@geetanjally3133]

thankyou a lot sir for this I was literally searching for this from many days.

[@folasewaidowu907]

Loved this! ❤️

[@joemamajams]

Great watch as always ❤❤❤

[@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. 😅

[@cryptoforcanadians]

Great video and I just opted in for the newsletter! Thanks!

[@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 👍🏽

[@fatimah_abm]

I have watched this channel for almost 3 years now and I have never felt this attacked and called out😂😭

[@explorationofhumanmind]

you are soooo amazing， i found every time I try to go another way is that i encountered some difficulties in doing the things at hand 😂

[@ajponiente810]

Great video, thank you Ali!

[@study_with_shirin]

I needed to watch this. Thank you!

[@somewhere_afa]

This video is soo on point for me

[@jericohd]

Wow! I feel this so personal

[@kkgrimm]

Super helpful video Ali thank you for posting!

[@ferozjilla]

So helpful! Thank you Ali

[@InvestingITF]

[@shukufefarnam7507]

Wow this video helped alot thank you so much ❤

[@heyiamilse]

Very very good advice. Thank you for your great content

[@zohrehkpz7349]

Thanks for advice ...that helped me lot!

[@paraskevikivroglou7838]

Hey, he could also make vlogs of his daily job. If he grows a business, document how you did it. Then, if other people are interested, he can sell a photography and scaling course. Maybe this aligns with both of your goals.

[@francielemendes6190]

Very good you are great congratulations 👏👏🤩

[@ToriksLV]

I agree, use youtube as lead to your business rather then gonig all in on it. Create a website and grow email list. Learn to market and sell.
