I believe the main reason people don’t get what they want is simply because they don’t ask for it specifically.
Don’t just ask for a job– say you’re a digital marketer serving dentists to attract dentists to hire you.
Don’t just say you need a mentor– say you’re trying to get Descript and Frame.io to integrate into producing deep fake videos.
Don’t just say you want to lose weight– ask who wants to join you in doing 100 burpees at 5 pm today at the Val Vista Lakes Clubhouse.
Don’t just say you want to make a million dollars– ask who wants to join you in creating the ultimate Influencer Marketing ecosystem with the footage you shot last week with Jake Paul.
People think that the broader their ask, the more people they can reach and the more help they can potentially get, right?
But when you ask specifically, you’re allowing your friends and your friends of friends to respond with exactly what you need.
Have you tried this?
Let me know how you’ve found it to work.
