The power of asking.

1. Asking makes you look powerful.

Contrary to begging asking makes you look powerful. Jesus says anyone who asks receives. People tend to admire those who can ask. Those people who are bold enough to ask for something will have the world at their feet. Asking will make you more powerful and make others see you as such.

2. Asking is difficult to turn down.

Asking is so powerful that it is always very difficult to turn down someone who understands the power of asking. When you ask the right way, people will respond to your asking in a very positive way. Those who ask with confidence are rarely turned down.

3. You always get what you ask you.

Askers always get what they ask for. If you ask for money you will get money. If you ask for things you will get things. The reason you are still average and broke is because you have not started asking. Jesus said ‘Ask and you will receive’. If at first, you don’t get what you have asked for, don’t give up but keep asking until someone says yes to you.

4. Asking makes you royalty.

Those in power one way or the other ask from their subjects. You too can become a royalty of your kind by asking. Asking gives you a royalty-kind structure and makes you look more powerful because only kings ask while slaves beg. If you want to wear your own crown in this world then start asking what you need.

5. Asking puts you far ahead of others.

People who are afraid to ask cannot be rich. Because at some point we need people to function. You may not need their money but you will need their service. So asking will put you ahead of your foes because you will have mastered one of the most powerful engines that makes men successful in life and in their careers.

6. Asking opens unexpected doors.

Asking is so powerful that it opens doors. Asking is not only telling people or requesting from others with your words. You can ask with your actions. A guy I knew wrote a public exam for many years but never gave it up. He was naturally saying give me this success or I won’t allow you to go. He was asking for success by his continued willingness to keep up writing even when he failed multiple times. Today he has accomplished a lot and lives in the USA with a beautiful wife. 

WHO SHOULD I ASK?

Ask from people.

Contrary to what many think there are people out there who are ready and willing to help others. You just have to ask people and you will be surprised how much help you can receive from them. So learn to ask from others when you have a need and not be offended when they turn you down. Always expect ‘no’ as part of the answer.

Ask those below you.

You can also ask those below you if you deem it necessary. Asking your subjects does not reduce you but makes you look more like them. They see you as one of them since you too have needs that have to be met. This will increase their respect and admiration for you.

Ask from colleagues.

You can ask your co-workers and colleagues when you face a situation or need their help. Many will be willing to help you and see to it they satisfy your needs,

Ask from those above you.

The king does not like to be infuriated or look small. Most times those powerful than you will hardly turn down your request if you ask them. For most of them, their reputation is at stake so they will do everything to want to keep their reputation intact. Use their ego and ask them for things, money, that is if you really need something or want to accomplish something big and you need their assistance.

Ask Banks and charities.

These mostly have to do with monetary asking. Apart from asking people, you can also ask institutions, companies, and banks for monetary assistance in your projects. Most big hotels were built with bank loans because someone asked for them. Learn to ask for charity work. You will always get what you ask for.

CONCLUSION:

Asking is good and makes you look powerful but you must ask wisely. Don’t ask the same thing from someone over and over. If someone turns you down don’t bother just ask another person. Also, ask people who can really meet that need or people who have what you need. If you need 10 million dollars for a business project don’t ask from someone whose salary is just 500 dollars a month. It won’t make any sense instead ask someone whose income or budget is bigger and can really give you the money you need.
