The central idea is that the fundamental skill for achieving desired outcomes is the art of asking effectively, which initiates a process of receiving, and this process requires both intelligent specificity and childlike faith.

How to get whatever you want. That's the
title of the next set of notes. How to
get whatever you want. Here's what it
says. If you're ready, it says,
"Ask." That's
notes.
Ask. If there's one art in life to learn
extremely well, that's got to be one of
asking. What does ask mean? Ask means
want? And the formula is staggering. It
says ask and
that. See, you've got to be better than
a good worker. You've got to be a good
asker. Now, let me give you three key
points on asking and receiving. This can
do it. Number
one, asking is the beginning of
receiving. Asking starts a unique
process, mental and emotional. I don't
even know how it works. All I know is it
works. It's like pushing a button and
all this machinery starts working. I
don't know how. It just works. There's a
lot of things you don't need to know
how. Just work them.
Some people are always studying the
roots. Others are picking the fruit. I
mean, it depends on what end of it you
on. Asking is the beginning of
receiving. So, start the process. Here's
automatic. Now, if that's true,
receiving is not the problem. What's the problem?
problem?
Failure to ask might be one of your
major problems. I don't know. Check it
out. The guy says, "Oh, now I see it. I
got up last year and hit it every day,
but there's not a scrap of paper with my
goals on
it. Good
worker. Poor asker." So, you got to
change that. Here's number
three. Receiving is like the ocean. There's
There's
plenty. Success is not in short
supply. It isn't rationed and you
stepped up to the window and it was all
here. Now, if that's true, what's the
problem? Well, some people go to the
teaspoon. Have you got the picture?
See, what you want to do in view of the
size of the ocean is trade your teaspoon
for at least a
bucket and you'll look better down at the
the
right? Okay. Now, there's two ways to
ask and we'll wrap up goal setting. Two
ways. Here's number one. Ask with intelligence.
It didn't say ask intelligently, but I'm
sure it meant that. Don't mumble. You
don't get anything by
mumbling. Be clear. Be specific.
Intelligent asking means how wide, how
high, how soon, when, what size, what
color, how
much. Define what you want and describe
what you want. That's powerful. Goals
become like a magnet. They pull you that
direction. And the better you describe
pull. So ask intelligently. Here's
number two. Ask with
faith. That's the childish part of the
equation. Believe you can get what you
child. Not an adult. Adults are too skeptical.
So the formula really reads, make plans
like an adult and believe in them like a
child and the most incredible things
will happen. Just try it for 90 days.
Just try it. You can always go back to
the old ways. Just try it. Just 90 days.
