About a month and a half ago, I decided to get into YouTube.

I'd seen how many sales a couple extremely half-assed videos were sending for Effortless Output, and figured it'd be worth trying to grow that channel...
For the first month, I was doing all of it myself.

Shooting, editing, optimizing, lighting, etc. I tried to figure it out on my own.

@AliAbdaal made the process so, so much easier. His videos, courses, and generous help rapidly accelerated my learning.
That's why I'm SUPER excited that he's launching his "part time YouTuber academy."

Ali is going to make over $1,000,000 from his YouTube channel this year.

And now he wants to help more creators do the same.

You should 100% check it out: academy.aliabdaal.com/a/89f1i
Obviously I haven't taken it yet, but I've been blown away by Ali's other courses and how generous he's been with his time to help me learn.

He genuinely wants everyone to make a living doing something they love, and building a YouTube brand is a great way to do it.
If you have any interest in building an audience on YouTube, I don't know where else you would get this much value for this good of a price.

I can't wait to see how many new YouTube stars come out of this 😃

Btw here's my progress since I started checking out Ali's stuff.

Wish I'd had this course!

If you're young and ambitious, you shouldn't over-invest in retirement funds.

Yes, even though they're tax free and have a crazy ROI compared to other investments.

Here's why 👇
When I was 23, I got fired from the only real job I've had.

Instead of looking for a new role, I spent the next year traveling, learning, and focusing on growing my site.

I was making maybe $1-2k a month passively, but I didn't need to make much.
Why? Because I had a lot of cash.

I'd saved aggressively while at that job, and some of my previous side projects (like this one) had given me a bunch of extra cash to sit on.

My $4,505 in Bedroom Tech 😱

I've been obsessed with improving my sleep quality for 9 years since I first realized how insanely important it was.

I've tinkered with tons of products, and now have over $4,505 worth of tools helping me sleep.

Here are my favorites 👇
The @eightsleep Mattress 🛌

$3,000

I've tried most of the "cold bed" solutions and this is the only bed I've slept in where I don't regularly wakeup in a pool of sweat (yuck)

It gets COLD, is super comfy, and I miss it dearly when I'm away from home.

The @ouraring 💍

$300

The best tool I've found for monitoring sleep quality and recovery.

Extremely useful for seeing how lifestyle changes are affecting my sleep and for giving me rapid feedback on what's aiding or hurting my physical recovery.

One common thread among all the really successful and productive people I know is they have a "systems mindset."
As soon as they do the same thing more than a few times, and that thing is not $1,000 per hour work, they start to think about ways to automate or systematize or delegate it so they can focus on something else.
Sometimes this manifests in small ways: I type in my email all the time, so I set up a hotkey in TextExpander to type my email in 3 characters instead of 20.

Really enjoyed "Scale" by Geoffrey West, @TheRealNeilS will be releasing a Made You Think episode on it soon.

In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite ideas from it 👇
We somewhat naively assume that all aspects of complex systems scale linearly, but there's usually a "scaling exponent."

As the size of something changes, other parts of the system change in a non-linear way.
"if the size of a mammal is doubled, its heart rate decreases by about 25 percent"

"with each doubling of population size, a city needs only about 85 percent more gas stations-and not twice as many"

"like organisms and cities, companies also scale as simple power laws"

If you pay $3-5 a day for a bit of caffeine to help you be more productive why would you spend anything less than $100+ per month on your key productivity tools
It blows my mind when people complain about having to pay $15/mo for @RoamResearch.

If you make $20 an hour and it lets you be one hour per month more productive you've got a good ROI.
Free software like GDocs just messed with people's heads around paying for software.

But now that we know free = data mining, privacy violations, and mental hijacking via ads, go paid whenever possible
