One of my favorite challenges to give my clients is what I call the Ask Challenge.
The premise is simple: make three asks every day for thirty days.
Some asks are business asks. You might ask for a referral, an introduction to someone you’d like to meet, a podcast opportunity, or an invitation to speak. Some asks are personal. You might ask your partner to take out the trash, ask a friend for support, or ask for help with something you’ve been carrying on your own.
Here’s the secret: the challenge isn’t really about the asks.
It’s about expanding our willingness to receive.
As women, we’re often the ones holding up the world around us. We support our families, clients, teams, communities, and friends. We make things happen. We solve problems. We carry a lot. Along the way, many of us become far more comfortable giving than asking.
Yet asking is one of the most powerful growth practices I know. So many of the opportunities, relationships, stages, clients, collaborations, and adventures that have shaped my business started because someone was willing to make an ask.
Now for my confession.
I don’t always follow my own advice.
So today, I’m taking on my own Ask Challenge for the next month, starting with this newsletter.
Here are my three asks:
1. Introduce me to a future Movement Maker.
The women in my Movement Maker Mastermind are creating remarkable ripples in the world. They’re growing businesses with purpose, expanding their visibility, and stepping into bigger leadership.
I’d love to welcome a few more women into the circle this summer. If someone comes to mind who is ready to grow their business, expand their impact, and be supported by an extraordinary community of women entrepreneurs, I’d love a warm introduction.
I’ll take great care of anyone you send my way. I’ll start with a complimentary Prosperity Audit so we can explore where they are, where they want to go, and what opportunities may be available to support their growth. From there, we’ll simply have a conversation to see whether working together makes sense. No pressure, just a meaningful conversation about what’s possible.
2. Introduce me to a podcast host.
I’ve been focusing on podcast guesting this year, and five interviews were released this month alone. I love reaching new audiences and connecting with women entrepreneurs who are building businesses with purpose and prosperity. I have a big mission afterall.
If you know of a podcast serving women entrepreneurs that is looking for guests, I’d be grateful for an introduction.
3. Keep the conversation going.
It’s been about twenty months since I started writing this newsletter, and I’ve genuinely fallen in love with the practice.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for replying. Thank you for being part of this community
If today’s message resonates, hit reply and let me know. And if you think someone else would enjoy these weekly notes, I’d be honored if you’d share it with them
Now I’m curious…
Who wants to join me?
What might open up if you made three asks every day for the next thirty days?
My guess is you’ll discover that people are often more willing to help than we give them credit for. Sometimes all that’s required is being willing to ask.
