If you've ever wondered what to give for Christmas Gifts, you might appreciate when family members actually come right out and ASK for certain things or at least hint that they would like them. Asking is an important skill for getting what you want out of life. The Bible suggests that if we ask we shall receive.
Jim Rohn tells it this way, "You may be a good worker, but you've got to do better than work hard. You will wind up broke and embarrassed.
You've also got to be a good asker." There is power in learning how to ask. Asking starts the process of receiving. It starts the emotional anticipation and the mental machinery that will help you think of ways to make it all happen.
Look back over the year 2011. Could you truthfully say to yourself, "I went to work every day and worked hard, but nowhere did I write down what I really wanted out of last year's efforts"? If so, you're probably a good worker, but a poor asker.
Success is available for the taking if you'll learn to ask. But ask specifically without embarrassment. Ask for things in enough specifics so your mind and emotions can go to work on getting them. Answer the questions..."when, where, how big, how much, what model, and what color?"
Also be sure to ask, "what for?" What is the reason for your specific goal? What do you want it to make of you or to help you become?
Finally ask with real faith. Children are our examples in this. They really believe that they'll get what they ask for. In asking, we all need to become more childlike. By asking in the right way for the right reasons you'll get what you want and even more.
ACTION STEPS:
1. Practice some asking in the next few weeks. Make it part of your goal setting, your New Years Resolutions, and your end-of-year self-evaluation.
2. Get together with your team and learn to ask for what you want as a team. Write it down. Talk about childlike faith.
