The secret to getting what you want

How to get what you want in life

Want to take your current career to the next level?

Want to sell more so you can serve more?

Want to expand your influence by developing your skills as an inspirational speaker?

Are you asking for the opportunities you want or are you wishing the pieces would magically fall into place?

Are you living a safe, wait-and-see-what-happens life or a risky, take-action-creative life?

In an early video, Steve Jobs reveals his secret to getting what he wanted in life.  

It’s simple…but hard. Here it is:

Now that you know the secret, what is holding you back?  Yeah, I know… it’s scary isn’t it?  In fact, asking for what we want is so uncomfortable that I bet you are already creating excuses as to why this won’t work for you.

Here are some common excuses:

• If they wanted to give it away they would do it without me having to ask.
• They should know that I need ____, without me having to ask.
• If I ask and fail, I’ll feel really embarrassed and foolish.

But what if? What if asking for what you want works? 

• What if it’s possible for you to serve others better and create a better life for others if you asked?  Often we don’t ask because we feel it is selfish and self-centered but what if you looked more closely at what you are asking for? Would it not only help you create the life you want but also help you to help others?  If this is true, then NOT asking because it makes you uncomfortable is really the more selfish thing.
• What if it’s possible that others are waiting to be asked by you?  We can’t read other’s minds and we can’t assume they know our needs. Think back to a time someone asked you for something and how excited and willing you were to give it to them.  Do you want to cheat someone else of that opportunity to be generous?  Weren’t you glad someone asked you for what they needed?
• What if it’s possible that simply the process of asking will expand your horizons, whether or not you get what you are asking for?  Even if you are turned down when you ask for what you want, just the experience and habit of asking for something can grow you as a person and help you establish new relationships with others.

The Challenge

Here’s my challenge to you.  Identify something you want or need but have been reluctant to ask for.  If you need to write out what you will say or even practice asking out loud, allow yourself some time to do that.  Silence the excuses and schedule a time to ask.  Then… ASK IT.  I’d love to hear the results in the comments section!

I was at a turning point in my business in deciding which direction to go.  I needed some focus and inspiration.  Fortunately I was connected with Lynne Watts and Dream Achiever Coaching.  Through a few individual coaching sessions and her informative videos I learned how to change my mindset about “selling” and promoting my business.  I also gained clarity on direction and uncovered a business model that would work best with my current phase of life.  I now have greater clarity to move forward in 2017 and have already landed my first client of the year!  Lynne is positive, encouraging, and is great at helping you find the clarity and inspiration you need to move to the next level!  I highly recommend Lynne’s coaching packages!~Sandra Abdalian
