#3747: Why You Never Ask For What You Want

I’ve realized that many people never ask for what they want because they are trying to avoid the emotional consequences of being told no. Instead of taking clear, intentional steps toward the desired outcome, they tell themselves no without even asking the question. In this episode, I break down why people avoid asking, how the fear of being told no gets in the way, and why taking initiative means asking for what you want.
