I have to let you in on the world's most powerful and neglected secret to success and happiness:
Ask.
This simple three letter verb requires you to take action, creates
momentum and guarantees a result (not always the result you want or
expect, but you always get an answer).
But the key to asking is in learning how to ask for what you want.
Here is a summary from Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen's book, The Aladdin Factor:
1) Ask with a positive expectation
2) Assume you can get it
3) Ask someone who can give it to you
4) Vague requests produce vague results. Be clear and specific in asking.
5) Ask repeatedly. As the owner of a company that I used to work
for said, "The 'yes' is easy. When someone says 'no', that is when we
have to go to work."
Today is the last day of our Kickstarter campaign. We asked, and
over 200 people said "yes", and we are now on our way into the studio to
record our new album.
And it would not have happened if we did not ask.
