What do the most successful entrepreneurs DO to
drive their success?
They ASK.
I’m talking about entrepreneurs who have:
• More than 15 years experience
• Started up and run multiple businesses across
industries
• Have taken at least one of those companies
public
• Generated earnings of more than $2 million
• And more
Why do they ASK, what do they ASK, and how do they
ASK? I invite you to read on.
Why do they ASK?
They know that in order to bring others on board,
to support them in achieving their vision, they
need to cultivate a kind of shared ownership in
evolving that vision – something I call Energetic
Vesting.
They have to be willing to let go of their vision
enough to let others in to co-create it, and be
flexible to respond to contingencies that arise in
the process. In other words, they work with others
in an flexible way to make lemonades out of
lemons.
And an essential part of how they do this and
their success is “the ASK.”
This directly supports one of the foundational
performance principles I teach to private clients
in our work together. That is, “Wherever You
Direct Your Attention, Energy Follows” – or “like
attracts like.”
If you want more of something in your business or
your life, focus on that – in what you think and
feel, in what you say to others and yourself, and
in what you do.
Exactly. Isn’t that why its said ASK and ye shall
receive?
What do they ASK?
The most successful serial entrepreneurs ask:
• Friends, colleagues, family members what they
think of their vision
• Suppliers to be more flexible about their
payment terms
• Key influencers to be part of their board
• People they know, like, and respect to help them
grow the business
• Ideal customers for business
In short, they ASK anyone, anything.
How do they ASK?
The exact details of this critical skill are
currently being researched by Dr. Saras Sarasvathy
of the Darden Business School at The University of
Virginia. She led a fantastic workshop that I
attended yesterday in Manhattan called “How to
Think and Act Like An Entrepeneur.”
But, one thing became clear during our discussion
yesterday. You must be willing to share your
vision – and active in telling everyone about it.
This is something my good friend and colleague
Stew Friedman of The Wharton School at The
University of Pennsylvania knows all about. In his
Total Leadership program, he teaches
people (not just C-suite leaders) how to
effectively paint a compelling picture of the
future in order to enroll the most important
people in your life to support you.
In other words, you have to open up and share what
you’re up to, get others excited about that picture
of the future, then ASK others to be a part of
what you’re creating.
What’s my ASK?
Is it time for you to learn how to shift your
thinking to what you want more of… to free-up your
energy and achieve better results – all by
learning simple, Eastern-inspired ideas for how
you can make more space in your life?
If you’re wondering how on earth you can carve out
more time (or find more energy) to ASK others for
what you need and want in your business – and your
life – then I invite you to join me for my next
group teleclass program that focuses on clearing
away all the unnecessary stuff that is getting in
the way of your success.
The Clutter-Clearing, Performance-Boosting Program
begins in just three days – on Monday, July 23 –
and there are just a few spots left. More details
here. The investment is minimal – only $188 (or less
than $27 per 30-minute call) and the returns are
boundless.
What’s Ahead for Me?
In addition to leading this next Clutter-Clearing,
Performance-Boosting group teleclass program
and putting the final touches on the online
resources that are part of my soon-to-be-released
book Refuel, Recharge, Re-energize: The Conscious
Entrepreneur’s Guide to Taking Back Control of
Your Time and Energy, …
…these next 60 days – beginning today — I’m
excited to be part of a ground-breaking research
project led by Saras and her team to investigate
just how successful entrepreneurs ASK, including
looking into what gets in the way of them not
asking.

Sarasvathy, visit her website here.

If you’re self-employed or run your
own business, your days are probably
packed with such activities as:
Getting that important document to your client on time.
Creating new products or services that help solve your clients’ problems.
Going the extra mile to make your customers
happy.
On top of all that, you have a life, too.
I know, balancing a business, family, health and
friends can feel overwhelming. I used to feel that
way all the time.
The thing is, when you have a lot on your plate,
you have to make choices about how you are going
to invest your time.
And, if you’re like most
people who want to make a difference and be
successful, you spend the majority of your time
working on your business.
And even though you
truly value your family, health and friends …
well, they get put on a permanent backburner. As
a result, you are overworked, stressed and maybe
a bit resentful too.
But there is a way out of this, and it doesn’t involve
moving to a deserted island.
To live the life you really want, you have to
change the way you get stuff done.
For starters, one thing you can do is to get rid
of the “time-sucking vampires.”
That’s what I call those activities that suck
your energy and detract you from achieving your
big goals and living the life you want to live.
In my
7-week Clutter-Clearing, Performance-Boosting
program, I share my simple strategies for getting
rid of wasted time, and finding hidden pockets of
quality time, so that you can become more effective,
more successful and more aligned with how you really
want to live. And without the typical burnout
most people experience.
Imagine, what if you could get more done in less time?
What would you do with that extra time?
A little R&R, or perhaps start that big project that
would totally propel your business to the next level, or
simply have time to enjoy what you worked so hard for??
Not only will I tell you how to achieve this, I’ll show you.
I purposely designed the 7-week Clutter-Clearing,
Performance-Boosting program so that you will
learn a great deal about how to improve the way
you work in a very short amount of time.
We’re not
going to spend hours and hours talking about how
you can boost your performance.
Instead, in just
30 minutes a week for seven weeks, you’ll witness
first-hand how a lot can be accomplished in very
little time.
The result? You
will feel lighter and in charge of your
business and your life.
If that sounds pretty damn good to you, then
click here to join me today.
Erin
PS – There are 5 days left to join me. And
trust me, just making the decision to see a
positive change in how you use your time, will
have you feeling lighter, more positive and in
charge BEFORE we even get started.

Until about a year ago, my business was humming
along, and I felt pretty good about it. Then one
day I realized that I was no longer satisfied with
“humming along.”
It was actually beginning to feel a bit “ho hum.”
That’s when I realized that I needed to invest in
my business, and I needed to invest in ME. It
wasn’t an easy choice.
I mean, it’s hard to let go of the money in hand!
And hard to let go of the fear of losing money.
But deep down I knew that devoting some time and
money on my business was the only way I was ever
going to launch from ho hum to amazing.
And so I did.
I’ve been astonished by the results.
I’m not saying this to brag, but I’ll just tell
you that my business is flourishing like it never
has. My energy and passion for my work feel
unlimited, and I’ve earned back my investment
several times over.
I’ve also learned some important lessons along
the way that I’d like to share with you.
I’m talking about tips and tools that will help
free you up, redirect your resources and declutter
both your mind and your space so that you too can
take your work to the next level.
What would your work look like if the fog, fatigue
and burdens were lifted away, and you were more
productive and effective at what you do?
When your energy is free of clutter, you can open
yourself to new work, new income and new
possibilities. But you have to make space for it.
Now, I totally get how difficult it can be to let
go of something so that you can let something else
in. And money is a toughie, for sure.
So I’ve purposely made sure my new 7-week
Clutter-Clearing, Performance-Boosting program
includes tips related for saving money AND
free-ing up your energy to allow new abundance to
flow in.
And, in order to make it accessible to everyone
who is ready to let go of the clutter that is
getting in the way of living your life more fully,
I’ve made it the lowest price it can possibly be.
Instead of charging the full price of $397 for
seven weeks of guided, practical wisdom and
guidance, I’m offering the one-time introductory
rate of only $187.
If it works better for you, we can work out a
payment plan of just $67 per month for three
months.
Get ready to feel lighter, more energized and in
charge of your life.

join me today.
