| In
all areas of our lives, when we
have the courage to ask for what
we want. we frequently receive what
we want. When we don't ask, we typically
don't receive. It is a simple idea,
but not always easy to implement.
Most people don't ask for what they
want, because they don't know what
they want. If they do know what
they want, they are afraid of rejection
and hearing the word "no".
Here
are some ways to get what you want:
- Be clear about what you are
asking for. It is hard to ask
for something, when you don't
know what you are asking for.
The more specific your description,
the better.
- Make a written list of what
you want.
- Make sure the person you are
asking, has your full attention
and understands your request.
There are many distractions in
life, so make sure your request
is heard and clearly understood.
- Ask the person who is most likely
able to give you with what you
want. Find the person who is most
likely to be able to fulfill your
request.
- Expect to get what you ask for.
Have a positive expectation.
Ask more than once, if necessary.
Persistence pays.
You have nothing to lose and everything
to gain when you ask for what you
want. In terms of the GYSIG program,
you are much more likely to get
more referrals from your Sphere,
when you ask for them. Think of
one thing, right now, that you would
like and who you would need to ask
to get it. Make a point to ask that
person today - don't delay!
