How to Get Everything you Ask For

Rejection has never been an easy thing to swallow. The very echo of the big ‘NO!’ can be quite upsetting, infuriating even. No one wants to have their request rejected. But whether we like it or not, it does happen. So the burning question is: How do you NOT get rejected and get everything you ask for?

Well, my fellow readers, below are 5 ways that could help you beat the NO.

1.       Fear, GET RID OF IT. In fear of rejection a lot of people usually hesitate to ask for what they want. So before you voice your request think long and hard about its importance. Then focus only on delivering your question with profound fluency. Never concentrate on the rejection that might follow.

2.       Be confident but not too cocky. Ask for what you want with self-confidence and determination. Don’t forget that it’s only when you believe in yourself that people believe in you.  But then again, being too cocky might actually bring your doom. Because at the first sign of resistance, you are bound to react in some way that is not at all gracious. So prepare yourself for both the yes and the no.

3.       No GIBBERISH. You can’t afford to be ambiguous with your request. So write your thoughts down on a piece of paper or practice in front of a mirror or friends. Simply organize your thoughts.

4.       Ask with passion. Don’t forget that you’re the one asking for something to be done or given to you, so be polite and friendly. Speak with a passionate tone of voice; maintain a steady eye contact, show respect and admiration.

5.       Gratitude. Whether your request was hit with a no or a yes, say thank you. People genuinely respect and admire gratitude. And it will keep you positive.
