Thank you .
*People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.*
“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.”
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.
That’s a just approach. I’m 50 but my financial life is a mess. Any ideas will go a long way in shaping my life and finances.
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.
sear ch the full names below if you care
being transparent to your audience is something not many channels have nowadays. Good job Ali
“Hiring someone is not a decision to be taken lightly and the more people we add to the team the more complexity of communication increases and the more things slow down” - Beautifully said Ali!
We appreciate the fact that you're considerate and generous towards your own employees. God bless you all.
Making transparency into content is a brilliant move.
Do what others are afraid to do!
Wow! It's amazing to see how your UA-cam channel has grown to the point where you now have 12 employees! Your dedication and hard work have truly paid off, and it's inspiring to see how you're creating job opportunities for others through your content. Your success is a testament to your creativity, talent, and commitment to your audience. Keep up the great work, and we can't wait to see what you'll achieve next!
This is awesome, hands down my personal favorite video on UA-cam to date! It's really interesting to see the contrast from running a very lean channel on UA-cam vs how fun and sustainably scalable this looks. Thanks for putting this together, looking at your accelerator program now 👍
I absolutely love that you are considering you to be the happiest person you know, that to me is the best thing to get inspired by. I forgot that I had that as my goal during my depression.
Finally Graham Stephan's QUESTION has been answered 👏🏼🖤🎓🙌🏼
Your process of creating, teaching, and managing is really amazing. The amount of things you do is wild. I've been learning a lot from you these past years.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
I love the way you think and take things easy! I am not aware of any youtuber who is so open and honest about BTS, whether it's personal finance,business, or now your employee management system! Kudos 👏
Really appreciate and respect your honesty and humility in these comment responses, thanks Ali
Your shorts are the best I watch. Hands down.
Hats off to you and your team for the huge value you all add.
Ali.... you are such a great presenter. I appreciate your posts greatly. Thank you for being you. (and go team too!)
Damn dude, about to hit 4 mil. Massive congrats and well deserved!
I’m just happy you’re going down the opposite route to WeWork. You have a great team! Shoutout to all their contributions thus far.
Kudos to Ali's team for keeping the content machine going! We appreciate you guys ❤
Your “shorts” team is killing it. I look forward to those shorts so much! Big inspiration for me
Can't appreciate you enough on how this video is valuable to me. You can't really understand the knowledge I've picked from this video and it will indeed help me in strategizing the best way forward for my channel. God bless you Ali. This was really helpful
Ali, stop being so awesome and inspiring!!! ❤️❤️❤️😁
Thanks for sharing, Ali! You inspire many people to show their work and try to get into the creator economy.
I like how diverse your team is, Ali, I think that's very important in terms of generating fresh ideas, bringing different perspectives to the table, etc. Great video, btw!
I’ve been following you almost from the beginning, and it was fun to see what was happening behind the scenes.
Ali Abdaal’s video on why he hired 12 employees was incredibly insightful for aspiring content creators. It shows how having a dedicated team allows for better focus on quality content and scalability for growth. As a content creator, this video emphasizes the importance of considering hiring employees to delegate tasks and improve overall productivity.
Did you get ChatGPT to write that summary? It sounds like something an AI would spit out.
@@gizConAsh was thinking the same thing!
Congratulations on the 4 million followers. 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾
Oh my goodness, I love this episode so so much, thanks for sharing team! This reminds me of when I used to work at a start up company(10 year old start up lol) which my role was in Alison, then I got divided into a few pieces of doing many other things at the same time, then eventually it causes me to have a mental break down lol. It is so awesome and therapeutic to see that you got an diverse team members and doing the things they love and proud of you! Keep it up you all! You will do amazing! Congrats on getting the 5M audience! Whoot Whoot!
My name is Jessie, I'm from Calgary Canada, if you need any help to arranging upcoming Ali world tour, feel free to let me know! Happy to help! Cheers! :))
Super interesting to see the backend of what you're doing. Love these type of vids!
Loved to see that you learned from your mistakes, and reduced your team members, and that Alone has improved your quality vastly
Excellence in content creation.
Excellence in choosing interviewees.
Excellence in video editing.
You are amazing...
Thank you all...
Beautiful comment
When I watch your videos I feel like I can actually do anything and be successful at it, thank you❤️
Early congratulations on 4 million subscribers 🎉❤ Love from South Africa
Love the insight into building a team Ali!
This video is amazing and super informative, thank you!
Awesome and love the transparency. Also, inadvertently made me feel amazing about myself, knowing I've built to 100K followers across all platforms while doing most of all of these things on my own. So looking forward to the day when I need to bring on more full time work... inspiring!
I learned a lot in this video! Thanks, Ali!
This is why I signed up for the cohort. Man I hope I can do this with my team, too!!
Ali! Thank you for all your videos. Really inspired me to start my UA-cam and to go after my dreams! 🎉
Congratulations on going to hit 4 million subscribers, ali!
I don't know how long u already have 4M subscribers but congrats!
I've kinda always wondered about this:D thanks for sharing!
Loved it - really cool to see how you allocate resources
Ali and team, please bring back the day in a life/ productive day in a life videos. I have already rewatched all of em so many times while having lunch and dinner. It would be nice to have new day in a life video for the lunch and dinner content consumption.
I truly love your channel. Keep doing the best work. ❤
Thank you for sharing!!❤
Thank you Ali and team, Raza :)
Awesome, exactly the thing I was lookin' for!
Thank you for making this video!!!
Great content as always Ali! :)
It's cool to see each role in your team to have autonomy/ownership to bring contents to life across many platforms.
I'm wondering if your team / Angus uses certain production methodology in the content creation process? E.g. Scrum, daily standup, weekly sync, dependencies/impediments resolve, etc.
Alison always responds and helps us a lot 👌
Shes great!
Really good team work! Really want to be part of that kind of team.
🎉 I’m a freelance writer and magazine editor who recently started my own hyper-local newsletter (to hopefully grow into a brand), Community Connections. I’m hoping to one day be able to employee other creatives and help them live their dream! Thanks for sharing this and continuing to inspire me!
Very insightful :)
When I was making let's plays, the amount of video rditing time was punishing... totally understand why you have the team and the content produced is awesome. Keep it up folks :)
big up Tommy

Hi Ali , i was stalking your page and now im early
Very much enjoyed this Ali 👊
Sounds like an amazing team!
Whatever you pay Dan, it's not enough. Good grief 😄
I was just going to comment this LOL
Absolutely. Sounds like Dan needs an EA!
Hey Ali. Great Video!
i think you have the perfect business. I am going to use you as inspiration.
The video I've always wanted you to make 🔥🔥
Congrats for 4M🎉
Thank you so much for this.
It's Time to celebrate 🥳🥂 4M (WOW)
❤
I have earned new set of eyes .I have never thought of that before . Continue the good work.
almost 4M wow!! congratulations Ali!
Thanks for this video. I’ve been thinking about when I would want to hire someone to help with my job and channel. Right now I just hire grad students and postdocs for research work, but I need help in other ways too
It is fascinating to see how you and your general manager take care of a large team of 12 to 14 employees which has its challenges.
Happy Ramadan For all of you
Ramadan Mubaarak Ali Abdaal ❤🎉
Your video editors are fire 🔥🔥
Ikr
Hi Ali! Would love to know about what tools you use to work with your team and more the operational side of it (meetings, teamwork and solo work, tools and apps, work hours, etc)
I need a Dan in my life, cheers to Dan!
Please recommend me wholesome stuff like Ali Abdaal that I can watch on UA-cam in Ramadan 😊 thanks
Much respect to Dan! We see you ❤
Ali , thank you 😊
Advance congratulations on your 4M subscribers.
@@saranghoe_1 The useless people on the earth.
Angus (if not already) is going to be a star. He has perfect General Manager energy.
Hey Ali, what plug-in do you use to do all those cool effects? Any help would be great, thanks
