Show Notes
When was the last time you asked for what you wanted and heard “no” as the response? We believe that you are not asking for enough if you’ve not heard “no” at least once in the last week. A key to going after the life you want is getting out there and asking people who can help you in your effort. The bigger the need, the more you need to ask. The more you ask, and the bigger your requests, the chances are you are going to get some “no’s”.
Today we’re talking about why you should strive to get more “no” responses, how this helps gets you closer to your dream, and how to leverage the “Art of the Ask” to create the life you crave. We’re discussing failure, confidence, and the importance of persistence in your quest towards the goals you’ve established.
Today we’re joined by author and entrepreneur Andrea Waltz. Andrea is the co-author of Go for No!: Yes is the Destination, No is How You Get There. She has made her mission to liberate people from fears of failure and rejection so they may achieve their goals and dreams. The philosophies have been embraced by people in virtually every business, industry, and group from entrepreneurs to executives.

About Warren
Don’t know how you’re doing it, but another great podcast - chock full o’ practical yet eye opening insights!
Really enjoyed the podcast - I get my no-s! About your trekking gear - I am really interested in what you are sleeping on. For now my camping and backpacking is in the Colorado Rockies and I have a tent that will work until I’m hiking for 3 months or more…my sleeping on pads are comfortable but too heavy. Got any more input on this? Hey how about more posts on the gear you are using, sleeping bags, shoes etc. Even if one is not traveling the world, hiking gear is often the toughest, lightest, most versatile, most bang-for-your-buck possession to have…
