Start With The Goal
The very first step is to set the goal. Ali says when he was in medical school, he noticed that many doctors were unhappy and asked questions. He wanted to know if, with winning the lottery, doctors would quit their jobs. At that time, in the UK, doctors were not paid very well, so many said they had to keep working to pay the bills.
Make It About Freedom
When Ali was 18, he realized he wanted to make $3,000 a month passively so he could live the life that he wanted. Therefore, it wasn't about the money, it was about the freedom he would attain. He wanted to go from dreading his job to being paid thousands of dollars for his side hustle. It's about living a life of freedom and is living proof that anyone can build their dream life.
