Access Denied!
How to open the closed doors of opportunity and prosperity.
Accelerating your results at a rapid clip often comes down to one key thing, and that one key thing is…ACCESS
It’s about gaining access to the people, ideas, and strategies that will help you succeed and catapult your life to a whole new level.
I’m of the opinion that if you are not making big things happen in your life and career — it means that you are most likely experiencing “access control”.
Someone or something is controlling your access to people, places, attention, knowledge, capital, trust, commitment and opportunity to name just a few.
While access control may be a new term to you…it’s widely known in the computer industry.
Access control is a security technique that regulates who or what can view or use resources in a computing environment.
When you do not have appropriate access rights…you receive an error message which simply states ACCESS DENIED.
The only workaround for gaining access is to ASK PERMISSION from someone in a position of influence or control.
Your ability to gain access or permission to utilize the appropriate resources can and will catapult your life faster and further ahead than you can ever possibly imagine.
The most productive and prosperous people in this world are the ones who have learned to ask their way to success.
They have mastered the fine art of asking for what they want so that they could use their newfound access to gather the correct information…build their reputation…seek useful referrals…generate new business…solve problems faster…and ultimately to fast track their goals.
The simple act of asking for what you want is so critical to your success, yet it’s a vastly underutilized strategy for three primary reasons.
Fear of rejection
Lack of confidence
Seeing it as a sign of weakness
As a result of these self-defeating beliefs and attitudes…the majority of people struggle to make any significant progress towards their goals.
In effect, they have subordinated their lives to grinding out small results slowly…instead of making big things happen quickly.
Allow me to bottom line this idea for you…
Asking for what you want is the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to achieving access to opportunity, contacts and knowledge.
One informed conversation with a well-connected person can provide decades of knowledge and insights, which in turn helps you to avoid potential landmines and fast track your results.
I believe that if you only knew the opportunities, advancements, and possibilities that you were not receiving nor enjoying because you were not asking for help, that you would surely change your behavior.
Those of us who are married or in relationships are so because we ASKED the person of our dreams to share their life with us.
This offers us tangible proof that we really can realize our dreams merely by asking.
And yet, despite tangible evidence the vast majority of people don’t use the power of asking their way to success.
The worst thing that could happen is that they say No…but the upside produces such desirable fruit and that is precisely why you must start asking your way to success.
I’ll be the first to admit that asking for what you want doesn’t mean you will get everything you ask for. You’ll still be denied access at different points for any number of reasons.
