EXAMPLES OF BEING AFRAID TO ASK, BUT DID IT ANYWAY

1. Countless business deals. I have found that you should ALWAYS ask for what you want. You may or may not get it BUT I believe the clients who were most afraid to ask who’s deals turned out the worst. Its amazing how many times I saw a buyer afraid to ask so the seller used it as an opening to swoop in and negotiate a better deals. When I told my clients about this they always said they were afraid to lose the deal. FEAR is weakness.

2. Asking for interviews for my 3rd book, AIQ Moments. I asked some VERY big and important personalities to let me interview them. Most said no BUT a few said yes. I had to realize I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

3. The AIQ 2007 tour that was part of writing that book, AIQ Moments. I left home and drove around the country for 6 weeks. It was a little scary but it turned to be a positive experience I will ALWAYS remember.

4. Starting my own law practice. I had very few clients and no guaranty I could make a living BUT I did it anyway.


5. Moving from Houston to Arizona. Once again, no guarantees but I did it anyway.

THINGS I WILL DO IN THE FUTURE

1. Aggressively go after the things I want instead of sitting back and waiting for things to come to me.
