5 Practical Steps to Asking for What You Want

Last night we hosted our first live video event and had a great time doing it. During the 50 minute discussion we:

  • Discussed the importance of asking for what you want and provided 5 actionable steps you can take
  • Provided a sneak peak at an early version of our new web show intro video
  • Answered reader questions about relationships and staying motivated

We enjoyed being able to share more insights into how to carve the life you want from the life you already have. During the course of the video we referenced a few links and resources to help you in your process:

  • More practical information on “The Art of The Ask” is included in our book, Dream Save Do: An Action Plan for Dreamers.
  • Shelly asked if we ever fought and we discussed our biggest fight in Scotland
  • Learn how asking for what you want can lead to big experiences
  • Doug wanted insight into finding someone to share his dream with and we discussing finding people with similar interests at Meetup.com
  • In response to Rodney’s question on online businesses, here are 50 ideas for side businesses you can start.

  1. I really enjoyed watching this live and your tips are spot on in my experience. When I first started planning a long term sabbatical to Indonesia I was afraid to ask my boss for the time off. But then I thought, nothing ventured nothing gained. So I asked for a year off and while she was willing HR was not. But I did get 3 months which was more than had I not asked.

    I love where you say; “What’s the worst that could happen? They say no which is the answer you get anyway if you never ask.”

  2. This video was fabulous. Thanks so much for posting it. I can’t wait for your next hangout. Everything the two of you talk about inspires me…even how you fight is inspiring! :)

    • Thank YOU for joining in, Jennifer. As to the fighting, it doesn’t always feel inspiring in the moment. :) We’re pretty excited about the next hangout, too. I think we’ll do it much sooner than we originally planned.

  3. “The Art of The Ask” is so important in life. Common sense? Yes, but so easily forgotten or feared - You’ve covered it well and I’m thoroughly enjoying your book, “Dream Save Do: An Action Plan for Dreamers”

    • Hey, Maria. If you’re like me, sometimes common sense has a hard time making it through a hard head! I used to always want to do everything on my own, and I’ve discovered you simply won’t get far with that attitude. Knowing when and how to ask for help - and to give it in return - will transform your life. So glad you are enjoying the book and look forward to your review on Amazon!
