The Power of Asking: Unlock More Opportunities | Dan Lok

0:00It goes to show you the power of asking you don't ask you don't know most entrepreneurs when you get into sales They're so afraid of rejection. They're so afraid of getting a know they're so afraid of Whatever what they think of me this and that that we don't ask we don't ask enough Do you know I've been running the group now for since September? I don't know what how many a few months right a few months They're speeding exposed to hundreds of entrepreneurs right you think guess how many people actually get in touch with me and ask me a question Take a guess To guess Less than ten Less than ten people Actually send me a question and ask me a question Isn't that crazy Isn't that crazy, but why don't they ask me questions? What they think you're busy they think I'm busy and I am busy. Yes

1:00And maybe I'm busy maybe I'll reply maybe I don't know right maybe I said I'm busy. I'm sorry that right But they don't even try The fear the fear Not worth my time this and that right and the funny thing is those who ask I actually I'll take the time and reply and give them my advice Isn't that interesting we're so afraid of ask and I say yeah because I Can't we every time we as I see so many people I can't If you don't share with me what you need I can't help you does that make sense and Here's the thing even though people ask they ask the wrong way They asked the wrong way the emails I get some from time to time not asking for help They try to pitch me something they try to sell me something which is terrible at sales of course They don't even understand the basics of sales so that doesn't work or they want something from me without delivering out any value up front And when I keep hammering the point that you got to serve first you got to do what? You got to give first and they don't even get that so I know a guy who doesn't get that you're wasting my time

2:04I will never do this is what the guy like that period because they don't even get the basic concept of giving So even they're asking they're doing it the wrong way They're doing it the wrong way so the power of asking I asked then would you like to do this and this and bam? I said give it away. I'll do this. I'll I'll I'll put up the money I'll create the website. I'll make it on my website available to everything a lot of audio Maybe I'll ask James about the podcast and everything else right so all their content But in return I'm not giving many money There's no money, but he doesn't need my money, right? It would just very nicely something I could do I said you know what then all your material I mean a lot of them are in VHS tapes just so you know like VHS How many of you know VHS tapes Those are the older crowd right the younger across what the hell is that? You know CD what is the CD the C here soon as the other day was talking to teenager funny. Do you know what a CD is what is a CD? Like you put in the thing where you listen to it you have MP3 dude

3:06So it's kind of funny
