How To Ask For What You Want

Written By Danie Evergreen

If you’re anything like me asking for what you want or need can be uncomfortable at best. I grew up being told ‘don’t ask, wait to be offered’ and that programming still remains in me to this day. I have to remind myself that it’s ok to ask for what I want and need, and that someone can say no, but they might also say yes….

So here are my tips for how to ask for what you want:

  • Ask as if you expect the answer to be yes

  • Ask someone who is able to give you what you are requesting

  • be clear and specific in your request

  • ask from the heart

  • be gracious in accepting no
