Courage for the Strategic Ask ~ In Conclusion

Every ask is a risk. We put ourselves on the line when we put words to what we want and have no guarantee that we’ll get it.

Two things you can do to help bolster your courage:
1) Fall in love with your goals more than you fear rejections.
2) Know that inside every ask is an offer – find what that is, and it can embolden your ask.
