You'll Never Know What Asking Can Do For You


If you don't ask...you don't get!

Or perhaps more accurately...you'll never find the answer if you don't ask the question.

I asked a question yesterday...and, within 24 hours...have now solved a 'problem' that I was trying to solve for the last few months.

All because I asked the question!

Do YOU ask questions?

Now...I've certainly been there (and, sometimes - I STILL am there!)...but, since I really thought about why I NEED to ask questions...I realized that we all too easily focus on a POSSIBLE negative reaction, and forget about the chances of a POSSIBLE positive reaction!

I'm of the opinion that the worse that can happen if I ask is that the other person says 'No'.

Sure...you might come across the odd person who might belittle you for asking a 'stupid' question...but, to be honest, almost everyone wouldn't mind answering a genuine question.

Especially if you frame it in a way that makes them look clever!

Over the last year or so...I have saved a few hundred dollars on my moving costs...I've not gone to some event that I didn't really want to...and now, I've managed to sort out a big thing for my business.

All because I asked!

If I hadn't asked...then I certainly wouldn't have GAINED any of those things.

Do you fear the how the other person may respond to you?

It's easily done.

But...the MORE you ASK questions...the more answers you GET...the LESS worried you get about the answer.

Even if I get a 'no'...at least I know that I am just a little closer to finding out what I need.

So...go ahead and try it...you never know what ASKING can do for you!
