Ask and You Will Receive!

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:
  1. 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.

  2. Make a written list of what you want.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Expect to get what you ask for. Have a positive expectation.

  6. 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!
