68: Ask! The Key to Turning Your Dreams Into Your Destiny with Crystal and Mark Victor Hansen

Let’s face it – asking can be uncomfortable.

We fear rejection, or we simply don’t think we should be asking at all…

Or that we don’t deserve anything more than what’s presented to us.

But if we start asking the right questions at the right time, we’ll find that our dreams can actually become our destiny.

All by harnessing the power of asking.

Today, we’ll take you through one of the most impactful episodes yet as we speak with two very distinguished authors: Crystal Dwyer Hansen and Mark Victor Hansen (Skinny Life, and Chicken Soup for the Soul) about the power of asking the right questions at the right time.

We’ll talk about the real definition of asking…

What prevents people from turning their dreams into their destiny…

The three stages of asking and how you can apply them…

And a whole lot more!

See you on the inside!
