When you don’t ask for what you want in life, it’s like trying to catch a fish without bait. You can spend all day waiting, and nothing will happen because the fish won’t come near your boat if they know there is no food on offer!
But what if I told you that one of the best things about asking for what you want is how it empowers you and removes fear?
- How to use factors in your life for motivation.
- What to say to tap into your desires.

– TRANSCRIPT –
David Wood: [00:00:00] That can really generate freedom and remove a lot of the fear. When I went to the transformational leadership conference a couple of years ago, I was star struck being around Jack Canfield and all these big names and Oprah Winfrey’s executive producer and an Oscar winning pro.
I was like, oh my God. And I realized after the event, I did four things that terrified me. I asked for big bold requests. And I even asked Jack Canfield if he wanted to write a book together. Come on, how many pitches is Jack going to get per day. But it felt right. And I realized when I left, the win was the self-expression. The win was,
I said what was right. I did what was right. And then I got one, I think I got one yes. And three nos. The yes was a bonus. So, and what I got from your story, your beautiful story about telling your father that you love him 30 seconds before he died. What I get is let’s use that as motivation to not wait.
Let’s not wait. I don’t know if I’ll be alive. I really don’t. I’ve nearly died several times. I don’t know how long I’ve got. So the stuff that, that really matters for each listener, not for me or for Michael, but for you, what matters for you? Maybe it’s saying, I love you. Okay. You can practice your edge around that.
Maybe it’s going forward in your business. Maybe it’s like, I’m going to ask a hundred people for their business this week. I don’t know what it is for you. But whatever, that’s true self-expression is for you. Okay. That’s what lights me up, you going and doing that and feeling great about yourself. If you get the bonus results, the gravy, I call it, which is more business and more money, that’s good too.
