generous ask
“If you don’t ask, you don’t get.”
This is a bad piece of advice.
If taken to the extreme, we become hustlers.
Alternatives include realizing that the best offers are really what you’re asking for.
We approach the relationship with generosity and not selfishness when we offer to drive someone to their destination.
What would it take to develop the necessary skills, insights and reputation that we could offer another person a chance to achieve their goals? This is how we achieve. Offer, not ask.
