ask and ye shall receive

Im on my flight back home from a trip to Dubai/Abu Dhabi as I write this.

I have a bunch of stories and experiences to share with you guys…

But I’m going to leave them for the next few issues. I want to keep this one short (partially because it’s a short flight and I couldn’t find time to write anywhere else).

So here you go, story time…

I met a fair few people while I was in Dubai and Abu Dhabi (including an actual Billionaire, with a B, but more on that next time).

Most of these meetings were planned, barring one, chance encounter that I want to tell you about.

I was sitting at a coffee shop, where there was just one more individual besides me.

He was on his laptop, getting some work done. I could tell he was an entrepreneur (when you see someone in a coffee shop at 11 am on a weekday in flip flops and shorts, you know).

I decided to talk to him. I started a conversation asking him if he was a local, and carried it from there.

(P.S. these sort of things are only made possible when you master communication. It is THE most fundamental skill to success. Today is the last day that the Communication Powerhouse program is on pre-sale, get it at half price, along with a 30 minute call with me before it ends…you can get it here.)

He told me about his business, I told him what I did, and in a few minutes he started telling me all about how he was looking for someone just like me to help him with some stuff.

The next day I was in his office, discussing ideas, strategies, deliverables and more.

A random interaction has now almost turned into a high quality client.

Think about that for a second.

I just happened to be in the exact same coffee shop, at the exact same moment, when someone who needed exactly what I offered, was sitting there.

I then randomly decided to have a conversation with them. Wild isn’t it?

At first it looks like an extraordinary coincidence. But then came flashing back, all those other random interactions I have had with people over the last few years, that did not amount into anything.

“Hmmm”, I thought, ‘if I had not decided to muster some courage and talk to the guy, then this opportunity would have never existed.’

The difference between a massive opportunity, and nothing at all was one teensy decision. To talk to him.

It took me back to a quote by Alex Hormozi.

“Life changing doors don’t open themselves. You have to knock.”

Over the years, I have learnt to knock. To ask. To request. To go out there and put myself in positions, where opportunities could present themselves.

But most of you, unfortunately, have never learnt how to knock. Because the system conditions you to sit back and wait for opportunities.

• Score well in school and wait to get in a good college.

• Do well in college and wait to get placed.

• Do good work and then wait for the promotion.

But here’s the catch.

Waiting brings mediocrity. Mediocre opportunities, mediocre growth, mediocre life.

Asking brings the extraordinary. Winners will ask, request, knock, beg, do whatever needs to be done, to get what they want.

“Life changing doors don’t open themselves.”

Is it easy? Hell no.

Chatting up a random stranger in the middle of a coffee shop, in a foreign country takes courage.

I’m not going to go lie to you and tell you it comes naturally to me.

It doesn’t.

I was scared when I did it. But I did it anyways. As I have done many times before when presented with the opportunity.

If you want to get access to the elite, life-altering opportunities, you have to learn to go out, and put yourself out there.

You have to learn how to knock. This goes against everything you’ve been taught and it will take an extraordinary amount of work and effort to unlearn conditionings and habits built over several years.

But it will absolutely be worth it.

Lastly, at the risk of sounding too dreamy, I will tell you this.

Be open to the possibility of the extraordinary. Great things can happen to you. Anytime. The universe conspires in your favour. It wants to bring you all the things that you want. But it can’t give, if you don’t ask.

You have to to signal to it, that you are open to receiving. By putting yourself out there, by putting yourself in positions where good things can happen, by having conversations, by taking action.

To conclude, here’s a line from the old testament that will serve you well.

“Ask and ye shall receive.”

Learn to put it into practice, and watch the magic unfold.

Until next time.
