There is no better time than right now to start asking for the things you want. When I get to this point in my workshops, we literally stop and the participants take out their phones and they call someone to ask for something. The process is simple and powerful.
- Make a list of the things you want that you don’t ask for at home or work.
- Write down next to each item how you stop yourself from asking. What is your fear?
- Write down next to each item what it is costing you to not ask.
- Write down next to each item the benefit you would receive by asking.
- Consider what you need to ask for in each of the following seven categories.
a. Financial
b. Job and career
c. Fun time and recreation
d. Health and fitness
e. Relationships
f. personal projects and hobbies
g. Contribution to the larger community
6. Start asking.
7. Periodically update your list as you get what you’ve asked for and keep asking!
Most people like to help others succeed but they won’t activate unless they receive a specific ask. Stop hesitating and start asking to get the success you want in life! Ask as if you expect to get it. Have a positive frame of mind when asking.
