If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get

If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get

Last week entrepreneurs reminded me several times of one of my favorite adages: if you don’t ask, you don’t get.

While it seems obvious, the reality is most people assume if something isn’t offered up or available, then you can’t get it.

We’re conditioned to assess what’s in front of us, what’s obvious. Only, pushing beyond the perceived limits is what moves the world forward.

One entrepreneur shared how he really wanted to ask a well known business person for advice. Everyone told him it was a waste of time — he’d never get to the person.

After trying the networking route with no luck, the entrepreneur made the ask in a cold email. Yes, a cold email. Unexpectedly, the business person promptly responded, they connected on the phone, and hit it off.

If you don’t ask, you don’t get.
