10 Steps to Getting What You Want

There is a well-known saying, ‘Ask and you shall receive.’ Young
children often have this theory perfected to a fine art. They
keep asking till they get what they want. This demonstrates our
innate determination, faith and expectation. Asking for what you
desire can be a great opening to new opportunities.

To increase your chances of success it is often valuable to
reflect upon the most appropriate people to ask for assistance.

1.Get in touch with your own intuition and check if what you are
desiring is for your greatest benefit. One of the ways to do
this is to imagine that you already have what you desire. Then
ask yourself: How do I feel? is this a worthy goal? Does it
affect people in an uplifting way? 2In order to get a clearer
message try meditation, reflective thinking, yoga, praying,
dancing, relaxation, daydreaming etc. 3When you are sure of your
intention, make a list of the people you can ask for assistance.
This is where mentoring often comes into play. 4Determine that
you are going to do what it takes to achieve your intention. 5Do
research. Find out as much as you can about the people you want
help from. 6Make a list of what you think they can help you
with. Most successful people are extremely busy, so it will be
in your best interest to be well prepared. 7Link how they can
help you to how you can help them. 8Ask for less rather then
more, especially in the beginning. If you want them to mentor
you, ask if they would be willing to spend 10 minutes a month
giving you advice. 9When you finally decide to call or meet
somebody create an atmosphere that supports you. Wear something
that makes you feel good, have all your questions ready, affirm
to yourself that you are a success. Be positive. 10Even if you
receive a refusal, congratulate yourself for giving it a go. You
have succeeded because you tried. It is an important step in the
right direction. Then choose someone else and try again. You can
only gain.
