ASK FOR THE MOON--AND GET IT! The Secret to Getting What You Want by Knowing How to Ask

by Percy with Dick Samson Ross ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 20, 1986

Overused ideas and suggestions rehashed ad infinitum. The author insists that anyone can get what he/she wants out of life if they only know the correct way to ask for it. A new job? A bank loan? A promotion? One cannot simply ask the person in power--you must know how to ask without manipulation and without creating a win/lose situation. Throughout, the author discusses what he calls the ""ten rules of asking"": know what you really need or want; be sure to ask the right person; prepare a good case before uttering a single word; always give something in return, such as respect or appreciation; overcome any barriers you may have; ask artfully and specifically; request or invite rather than demand or beg; show respect for the person being asked; don't give up. . .keep asking; and, finally, include other people in the request, too, rather than appearing selfish. Don't ask!
