I speak faster than I type - Free Month of Wispr Flow Pro in the description :)

For a free month of Wispr Flow Pro: ref.wisprflow.ai/ali_shorts I run an online business school, and a big chunk of my week is replying to students on Slack. That used to be an hour of context switching and typing, but now, I just talk into my computer. One of our students was struggling to drive sales from her Instagram content, so instead of typing I hit the Wispr Flow shortcut and replied her within a few seconds, instead of a few minutes. It’s voice to text for pretty much any app. It strips out the ums and errs, handles capitalisation, and it even matches tone, so if you type in all lowercase in WhatsApp, that's how your dictated message comes out. No accidental business emails in the group chat. I barely type anything on my computer anymore. Paid partnership with Wispr Flow

I asked Hormozi how to make $100k a year

I asked @AlexHormozi how he'd make $100k a year doing what he loves. His answer was basically, find one super valuable service you can do for a business, charge them $100K for it, then figure out what to do with the other 364 days of the year 😂 What hit me was how casually he said it. He wasn't born with the skills to charge that much. He learned them over time to the point where hundreds of thousands feels like nothing. It completely reset my bar for what's reasonable. Growing up, my parents were doctors, everyone I knew was a doctor. In the UK, doctor earnings basically cap out around $100k. That was all I could imagine as a reasonable income. But after years of being an entrepreneur, running a business that does millions in revenue and profit, having friends who spend hundreds of thousands a month on ads profitably - you start to realise that $100k is actually not that much money. Provided you've learned the skills for it not to be. And the nice thing about skills is that everything that's a skill can be learned. If something feels like "a lot of money", that's just a skill issue and an exposure issue 💡

Making money online basically comes down to two things...

Making money online basically comes down to two things - building something people want, and then actually selling it to them. Most of us love the building part. It's fun, it's creative, you can use AI, whatever. But it's the selling that determines whether you're making money or just doing a hobby 👀 One of the best ways to sell is posting on social media, but then what happens is you would usually say "link in bio" and hope people see the post, go to your profile, find the link tree, click the right link. That's a lot of steps and you lose people at every single one 😅 This is exactly why we've been using Manychat for years. It's an official Meta business partner that turns your comments, DMs and story replies into actual results automatically - e-book downloads, webinar signups, email list growth, even direct sales. It basically acts as your own follow-up system running 24/7, answering questions, sending links and showing people how to enrol, all in real time without you lifting a finger. Building the thing is step one, but if you want a passive income empire, you need systems that sell even when you're not online 💸 Copy this link for a free 30-day Manychat trial: get.manychat.com/course-creators?utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=cold&utm_campaign=AliAbdaalEmpireYTS&utm_content=YTS Or use code: ALIABDAAL (Paid partnership with Manychat)
