'Ask for What You Want' is not just a motivational piece, it is one of the fundamental keys to success in life. It is the ability to analyze your life, identify what you have to do, those that can help you, and how to strategically approach them to get your desired result. There is a lot more we can make of our lives if we learn how to appropriately use the help of others .Here are 5 important things we must develop before we approach others to ask for their help;
1. Attitude - always have the right attitude and expect the best. A 'No' is not a death sentence.
2. Skills - develop skills that helps, such as Communication, Negotiation, Soft skills, Diplomacy and tactfulness.
3. Knowledge - know what you want and don't beat around the bush. Do your research.
4. Offer Value - when making your request, what do you bring to the table, offer to do something in return, don't appear to be a liability.
5. Say 'thank you' - as simple as it sounds, it matters a lot. It is better to say it and not mean it than to mean it and not say it. Always say it and mean it.
