4/11/25 Newsletter
If you’ve been following my newsletter over the past month, you may have noticed a theme—situations where I landed opportunities many dream of but never get:
A front-row VIP experience to see my favorite comedian—for free.
Three trips to the Super Bowl—without tickets.
Access to a private conference where my favorite author spoke—without a pass.
Maybe you read these stories and thought, “How boastful!” Or maybe you thought, “How do I learn to do that?” If you’re in the latter camp, keep reading.
I’ve been in sales my entire career, and one of its most fundamental skills is knowing how to ask for what you want—and get it. There’s an art to this, but it’s a teachable one. The only prerequisite? Motivation.
Most people don’t fail because they lack skill or talent—they fail because they don’t ask. Whether it’s fear of rejection, lack of confidence, or not knowing how to ask, these roadblocks only sabotage you.
In today’s article, I break down the top five things holding you back from asking for what you want.
A few weeks before I delivered my daughter, Charlie, my best friend Tasha came to stay with me for the weekend. Tasha is also known as Mama Bear, and for good reason, she is the friend that loves you by checking in on you with a phone call, cooking for you, and making sure your heart is whole, and stomach is full. She offered to help me prep frozen meals so when Charlie arrived, all I would have to do is grab a meal out of the freezer, toss it in the oven, and be done! This recipe was hands-down my absolute favorite and Ronnie said it was one of his favorite Mexican dishes ever. So enjoy this recipe when you need something that is as delicious, as it is fuss-free.
