A few days ago, I hinted that something beautiful was coming to you...soon. A very special announcement. And
here it is! Read on for details...
Asking is a fundamental skill that everyone needs to have.
You want clients to hire you? You need to ask.
You want people to join your mailing list, donate to your fundraiser, or spread the word about your project? You gotta ask.
You would love to have your book or product featured in a local store? Ask.
You’re curious to find out if you could get a grant, scholarship, or raise? Ask.
You want to adopt a dog, plant a garden, or convert the attic into a music studio, but first, you need to have a conversation with your landlord and get their approval? It's time to ask.
The more you ask, the faster your life moves in the direction you want.
If you struggle when it comes to asking—you don’t know what to say, you feel awkward, you procrastinate and avoid doing it—then please join me for The Give, Ask, Receive Challenge.
This challenge is offered one time per year.
It’s free.
And it just might change your life.
How it works:
- It’s happening March 1-5, 2021.
- Each day of the challenge, you will give (do a tiny act of generosity for someone else—like a friend, colleague, client, or even a complete stranger) and then ask (ask for something you want—ask someone to hire you, ask for an opportunity, ask for support, or anything else).
- Give. Ask. Receive. That's it. Simple and powerful. Repeat 5 days in a row. Watch the magic that happens next!
- Once you sign up, you get a bundle of resources to help you complete the challenge successfully, including a list of 50 generosity ideas, 10 things you could ask for, 5 templates to help you find the right words and ask with confidence, and more. To see the complete list of "everything you get," bop over here.
- Time commitment: Set aside 25 minutes per day x 5 days in a row for best results.
- Open to all ages (great for adults and kids and teens, too), all genders, all faiths, all humans: welcome.
- Open to people from all around the world, not just U.S. residents. As long as you have Internet access, you can do this.
After completing this challenge, you will feel:
Inspired. Energized. Proud. Powerful. Generous. Hopeful.
Excited to keep giving, keep asking, and keep the momentum going.
If you're thinking, "Yes! This sounds amazing!" then please sign up for the challenge here. After signing up, watch your inbox. Instructions will be emailed to you.
Whether you are a college student, budding artist, freelancer, CEO, or Senator, you will gain something wonderful from this challenge.
It may unlock doors and lead to things you never expected.
When you find the courage to ask...who knows what might happen next?
