In this video, I talk through 10 tips that I picked up while building and running a business through medical school. My company 6med (6med.co.uk) does around £150,000 in annual revenue and was built by me and my friends while we were medical students at Cambridge University. We talk about the importance of not waiting for permission, standing on the shoulders of giants, learning to code and design, working with friends, starting small, doing things that don't scale, expecting and learning from failure, starting with why, but above all, just starting. Enjoy!

Okay but jokes aside, what you're doing is phenomenal
@Cypher Elite Care to give an example, Mr/Miss Elite? 👀
I’m glad you clarified that was a joke because at this point in reference to Ali, I would’ve believed it.
Medicine isn't the hardest degree in the world!!

I trust people like you who are not famous and who are genuine and transparent much more than I do business gurus or even really successful business owners since they may very well hide things or manipulate facts to their advantage. Thank you for sharing.

That's cause those so-called "business gurus" normally make all their money from teaching people how to make money by learning from them who made money teaching them 😂
@@revan6614 Yep, I was one of the naive suckers who actually got brainwashed into all the clickfunnel BS early on. There are very few practical and genuine business and entrepreneur channels on CZcams, Ali definitely among the greats for this niche.
who are not famous????? but yeah i get what you mean
Really? Don't you think the hallmarks of a hustle smell the same?
In the beginning I thought you said "I'm a genius doctor "instead of "junior doctor" and it makes sense either way.
-Has a successful CZcams channel.
-Is a doctor.
-Has a million dollar business.
This guy is the chosen one.
-Graduated from Cambridge
what is his million dollar business

I've been waiting for this vid for so long ... Im a 19 y.o Persian(Iranian) girl studying medicine & also a part time artist & my bro is 17 wants to be a computer engineer & we both kinda know how to code ( php , c# , Html , c++) when my bro was 13 he made a noticable amount of money by making a very basic android game ... we have so many goals & I want to open up my own art website as well ... your vids have inspired me alot .. thank u Ali
How’s it going now?
Just do your thing!!!! You'll get far eventually! Keep it up
didn't know iranians who would watch self-improvement stuff and have a different vision for life exist ;D I mean everybody these talking negative sh** with a limited mindset (yey lets achieve the best university degree and be successful)
I'm 17 with some web design experiences (html css js) you really inspired me
hope the best for you
Your channel is the reason I switched my study skills from passively reading notes to actively testing myself. Your channel is also the reason I have so much more free time for personal projects. Thanks so much, Ali!
Thank you for posting such inspiring content. You're the epitome of hustling.
Yooo . Why you here 😳😳
@@AIIMS_IS_LYF he was* before he got famous
Not even trying to start a business but watched the whole thing bc I love this channel so much 😂😂
I didn’t understand a thing

BIG MOOD HAHA
I thought I'd learn a lot of productive habits on a video like this even if I'm not into making a business of my own - and I did!
Hi Ali, Rupesh from India here. Thank you for finally making this video, have been waiting for this for a very long time now. Loads of love!!
I really enjoyed watching your videos and I find them very inspiring. I am a medical student and CZcamsr like you and Inshallah one day I get the chance to meet you!
Wow Ömer Faruk is here
Please make your content in English too, Omer, your CZcams looks great but is not globally acceptable. I would like to see ur videos if I understand them😁

I'm just a young teenager and I already feel so inspired
Been your fan for over a year now...not only have you helped my study life so much
But you've got my mind thinking about entrepreneurship...
“start small”
I know how to code, but i’m a perfectionist ocd. I tend to make things bigger, and then get stuck on small details.
Anyway, your video message are always on top.
Leadership! - You are an incredible role model for young people, keep on what you’re doing.
Respect from South Africa. ✌🏼
Marnus van der Merwe starting your sentence with “Leadership” I instantly knew you from S.A 😂😂👊🏾
Prince Sobuza you know mos bra! 😜👊🏼
Haha (SA)me! 😂😂
Your account has honestly helped me so much, hearing how you attempted to start businesses in secondary school was inspiring to me, a 13 year old, who's trying to start my own business. i really want to thank you for all the information and tips in your videos they are so helpfull, keep doing what you're doing.
Literally the only channel that gives you practical and concrete information about any topic love it.
If you get a chance please do a CZcams series, talking about the algorithm, how to grow from zero, and other practical stuff
🙏🙏🙏
Ali
This guy is breathtaking! Everything you do is phenomenal!!! Cheers from Chile/India/Peru!
You’re seriously my favorite CZcamsr. Your videos are always actionable and to the point, no unnecessary fluff, always engaging. Plus, your question of “how hard can it be” is now my life motto, and this is coming from someone who was stuck in a fixed mindset for decades. I hope you keep making content forever!
This man is something else😍 Ali just kill me
Starting med school soon and the plan is to become a cardiothoracic surgeon. I own a startup which focuses on copywriting and voice overs. I've also started learning how to code. This is all thanks to you and spaced-repetition. ❤️❤️
This is just incredible. I really like that fact that your ultimate tag line was to help people out there.More power to you!!!!
Quite literally one of my very favourite CZcams videos ever. I must say I’m incredibly proud to see someone who is still so young delivering real wisdom yet in a authentic humble and down to earth manner. If you do read this comment, I’d love to know what you use to create the design elements in your videos and any advice for someone who’s been motivated to stop waiting. One of my favourite quotes that your video reminded me of is that “perfection is the enemy of good”
Ali,
You have enhanced my life in so many ways thank you for being a brilliant Human being your channel is enabling me a to have a better future. Keep up the excellent work!
Hello, Ali! I'm a Medical student in Brazil, always learning from your videos, from study methods to entrepreneurship. Thanks for the great job and High quality information and education.
I am currently a 3rd year medical student from the Philippines and can I just say that your videos inspire me a lot to just keep going! Thank you for sharing!
Namaste Ali! Always inspiring to see your vids mate. Was waiting for ages for you to make a vid about this. Our countries aren’t exactly the hotbeds of entrepreneurship, but your vids give me a ray of hope to do something different from other doctors over here. Hoping to meet you one day!!
Dude you're incredible, the focus and ability to do youtube, company, and medical school, is incredible. Congrats man, you deserve way more views and subs.

Ali you're a hero man... So much value we learn from your videos!!! Thank you a lot 🙏
Your videos are probably amongst the most inspiring on CZcams! They always come to me at the perfect time, when I actually need someone to tell me those things! Thank you very much for your awesome work!
This is one of the best self-help videos I have seen in a while. Your tips are applicable across the board for just about anything one wants to do. Your casual style of explaining these seemingly simple life mantras is so genuine and inspiring that I feel I can pretty much climb the Everest following your advice!
The best feature here as in all your videos is your humility and down playing the tremendous effort and hard work you have put in your projects. You also acknowledge the "giants" and your friends - very cool.
Keep shining
You're my inspiration Ali! I'm a clinical lab scientist in making, and planning to go in Med school in the future. I'm also into finance, business and web developing. Because of you, being a doctor and an entrepreneur is possible. Never stop making big dreams
Your videos are magical!! Hoping to come to this video 2 years later saying how this helped me achieve my goal. Respect from Pakistan!
A much needed motivational video for people like me who are afraid to start any project they desire about
such solid info! I def stan a person who is generous with knowledge and experience! thank you!
You're an inspiration, Ali!
Great tips Ali. It's encouraging to listen to someone really motivated like yourself... it definitely has got me excited about entrepreneurship again.
Mate only came across your vids yday after my bro forwarded me the link, really inspiring, especially as I'm from the same cultural background so I know the challenges involved in juggling work / life / business. Credit to you - fantastic work keep it up!!
