WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.920 How to get whatever you want. That's the title of the next set of notes. How to get whatever you want. Here's what it says if you're ready. It says, 00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:10.160 ask. 00:00:15.715 --> 00:00:16.675 That's it. 00:00:17.955 --> 00:00:19.315 End of notes. 00:00:21.395 --> 00:00:22.595 Ask. 00:00:24.115 --> 00:00:30.940 If there's one art in life to learn extremely well, that's got to be one of them, the art of asking. 00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:37.420 What does ask mean? Ask means, what do you want? 00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:41.420 And the formula is staggering. 00:00:41.980 --> 00:00:43.500 It says ask and what? 00:00:45.555 --> 00:00:47.475 A guy ought to look into that. 00:00:50.115 --> 00:00:54.195 See, you've got to be better than a good worker. You've got to be a good asker. 00:00:54.275 --> 00:00:57.235 Now, let me give you three key points on asking and receiving. 00:00:57.555 --> 00:00:58.515 This can do it. 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:00.560 Number one, 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.920 asking is the beginning of receiving. 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:07.840 Asking starts a unique process, 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:09.440 mental and emotional. 00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:16.635 I don't even know how it works. All I know is it works. It's like pushing a button and all this machinery starts working. 00:01:17.275 --> 00:01:19.595 I don't know how. It just works. 00:01:19.835 --> 00:01:22.635 There's a lot of things you don't need to know how, 00:01:22.795 --> 00:01:23.915 just work them. 00:01:25.915 --> 00:01:29.460 Some people are always studying the roots. Others are picking the fruit. 00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:32.260 I mean, it depends on what end of it you want in on. 00:01:36.580 --> 00:01:43.115 Asking is the beginning of receiving, so start the process. Here's number two, receiving is not the problem. 00:01:45.595 --> 00:01:47.515 Receiving is automatic. 00:01:49.915 --> 00:01:52.715 Now if that's true, receiving is not the problem. What's the problem? 00:01:53.995 --> 00:01:59.960 Failure to ask might be one of your major problems. I don't know. Check it out. 00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:08.440 The guy says, oh, now I see it. I got up last year and hit it every day, but there's not a scrap of paper with my goals 00:02:08.760 --> 00:02:09.160 on. 00:02:11.455 --> 00:02:12.415 Good work, 00:02:13.535 --> 00:02:14.895 poor asker. 00:02:15.055 --> 00:02:16.415 So you got to change that. 00:02:16.975 --> 00:02:18.175 Here's number three. 00:02:19.535 --> 00:02:20.655 Receiving 00:02:20.815 --> 00:02:22.175 is like the ocean, 00:02:22.495 --> 00:02:23.295 there's plenty. 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:25.600 Success 00:02:25.600 --> 00:02:27.920 is not in short supply. 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.400 It isn't rationed 00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:34.000 and you stepped up to the window and it was all gone. No. No. No. 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.640 It's like an ocean here. 00:02:39.545 --> 00:02:44.825 Now if that's true, what's the problem? Well, some people go to the ocean with a teaspoon. 00:02:46.905 --> 00:02:48.665 Have you got the picture? 00:02:50.425 --> 00:02:56.610 See, what you want to do in view of the size of the ocean is trade your teaspoon for at least a bucket 00:02:57.410 --> 00:03:00.210 and you'll look better down at the ocean. 00:03:01.890 --> 00:03:04.210 Kids won't make fun of you. Right? 00:03:07.810 --> 00:03:11.945 Okay. Now there's two ways to ask and we'll wrap up goal setting two ways. 00:03:13.145 --> 00:03:16.265 Here's number one, ask with intelligence. 00:03:17.385 --> 00:03:18.025 It 00:03:18.825 --> 00:03:20.985 didn't say ask intelligently 00:03:20.985 --> 00:03:23.890 but I'm sure it meant that. Don't mumble. 00:03:23.970 --> 00:03:25.810 You don't get anything by mumbling. 00:03:26.690 --> 00:03:28.530 Be clear. Be specific. 00:03:28.770 --> 00:03:34.610 Intelligent asking means how wide, how high, how soon, when, what size, what color, how much. 00:03:36.145 --> 00:03:39.825 Define what you want and describe what you want. 00:03:40.385 --> 00:03:41.665 That's powerful. 00:03:41.905 --> 00:03:43.905 Goals become like a magnet. 00:03:44.145 --> 00:03:47.825 They pull you that direction and the better you describe them, the more they pull. 00:03:51.890 --> 00:03:53.330 So ask intelligently. 00:03:53.330 --> 00:03:56.210 Here's number two, ask with faith. 00:03:58.050 --> 00:04:00.450 That's the childish part of the equation. 00:04:00.930 --> 00:04:04.655 Believe you can get what you want like a child. 00:04:08.735 --> 00:04:09.855 Not an adult. 00:04:10.095 --> 00:04:11.535 Adults are too 00:04:11.615 --> 00:04:12.735 skeptical. 00:04:14.975 --> 00:04:20.750 So the formula really reads, make plans like an adult and believe in them like a child. 00:04:22.590 --> 00:04:24.510 And the most incredible things will happen. 00:04:25.470 --> 00:04:27.470 Just try it for ninety days. 00:04:27.870 --> 00:04:28.670 Just try it. 00:04:29.495 --> 00:04:33.895 You can always go back to the old ways. Just try it just ninety days, ninety days. 00:04:34.375 --> 00:04:35.815 The world admires 00:04:35.815 --> 00:04:37.015 the doers.
