Make Your Dream Comes True!

Good morning. Cheers. Happy Friday. How is it Friday already? I am out in my little guest house warehouse for rescue kit. You guys have seen me out here before, and I, first of all, wanted to apologize for not having my live stream on the schedule last week. So if you missed it, I believe that it should be up on the app now. But I am so sorry if you missed my live stream last week. It was a good one, I think, but it should still be up there. So take two this week for June. I cannot believe that we are already halfway through the year.

Marissa, good morning. Or should I say afternoon, where you are? So let's go, Luke. All right, so I'm gonna get right into it today. I'm so happy to see you guys. Katie. Oh, my goodness. Hi, everybody. Okay. I am out here in my little warehouse guest house. I've got family visiting me in my teeny, tiny house. We're all, like, bunking up arrow beds, couches, my bed, like, the whole vibe. But my niece and nephew are here, and that never, ever happens. And so I'm just, like, cherishing it. But I wanted to talk to you guys today about a message around, obviously, making your dreams come true.

Duh. But this idea of asking for what you want. And I heard this on a podcast. A friend of mine has a podcast, and good afternoon, junk food junkie. So good to see you guys. So, a friend of mine has a podcast, and I'll tell you a little backstory. I was listening to this podcast, and she specifically was talking about, are you asking for enough? Are you asking for endorsements? Are you asking for what you want to get to the next phase in your life, in your business, whatever it is? Are you asking for help?

Enough. And this whole idea. So, this backstory of her podcast, which I loved, is that she's been podcasting for years now, and her husband recently started a podcast and about 100 downloads in. So he barely had started. Only a couple weeks into being a podcaster, they were in their house, and he was asking her all these questions about, like, analytics and things like that, and she was like, what are you doing? He's like, oh, I'm, um. I'm. I'm trying to get a endorsement or a sponsor for my podcast.

I'm writing to this meat company that they order meat from. They've been ordering from them for the last year. He loves them, and he wanted to have them sponsor his podcast. And she said she looked at him with, like, ten heads thinking, how is it that, first of all, you have, like, the courage to even just outright ask this huge brand that you. And you don't even. You have barely started your podcast. She's like, but, like, I've been podcasting for years and haven't even, like, gotten anyone to sponsor my podcast.

And she said a light bulb went off in her brain. Like, gosh, not only is that, like, the smartest thing ever, but, like, kudos to my husband for just having the guts and putting himself out there. And she said, it really got me thinking about what I am not asking for. And then, of course, my little brain listening to this was like, wow, I have to share this message. This is something that comes so innately to me. I have been able to do this for my whole life. I am somebody who is a master of putting myself out there.

Like, I am masterful at it. I feel like I have nothing to lose. I don't know where it came from. I don't know if it's just inner confidence or if it's just having the sentiment that you don't know until you ask. You have zero to lose. But what if you get a yes? It's kind of this aspect of, like, being a player on the field and not being, like, a silent spectator. And I think my friend thought, like, about it in the way that normally she feels like she asks for what she wants, but she realized in that moment she wasn't asking for enough.

And it doesn't mean, like, asking for free stuff or, you know, asking for things that you might not even, like, need or deserve or whatever. It just means, what are you. What are you missing out on in terms of an opportunity? It can be bigger than just asking for you for what you want. I'm thinking about it in the perspective of putting yourself out there in such a huge way. It might feel so uncomfortable and out of body, like you're having imposter syndrome. But on the other side of that could be something so big and so wonderful and so magical that can get you to your end goal.

So what do you do if this doesn't come naturally to you? What do you do for me? I, like I said, live for asking for what I want. And I don't know if it's that. Just I've just become, like, unhinged and unapologetic in my life, and I'm kind of at this phase in my life where I'm like, bring it on. Like, I love a no. I live for a yes, but I love a no, too. So I kind of just like to push my limits and push my boundaries in fact, we're experiencing that right now. In my company, the rescue kit company, we weren't happy with the pricing on some of the products that we had in the kit.

So I went to CEO's of some of the brands that we carry in our kit and said, hey, your product is amazing. We don't want to reinvent the wheel, but we can't afford to carry you anymore. I want to come up with a solution and the next thing you know, I've got CEO's of companies that have been around for almost 30 years. They're international brands saying a resounding yes after only one ask to collaborating and putting our name on their product with them. And it was that simple. But what can you do back to this question of what can you do if this does not come naturally to you?

Because I know that this is not something that everyone can just pipe up and do. So I wanted to give you guys some of my pointers and thoughts for how to do this and get your feet wet with asking for what you want. So number one, start with an email. It's always a little bit easier to sit behind a screen and you can really carefully craft a message to somebody that feels really thought out. You could share it with a friend, share it with a business mentor and really craft something that feels from your heart personal to you, that tells the story of what you want and why.

And it's a great way to get your feet wet to start. I love writing a pitch email. I think it's a really great way to still get your point across. But you're not face to face with somebody and your anxiety level can stay a little bit lower if this is something brand new to you. Number two, you could share openly at a networking event or just talk about what you want when you are in the presence of other people who are like minded and want to see people achieve. The minute you open your mouth about what it is that you desire for yourself, for your brand, for a company that you're working with, a connection that you want, speak it out loud to the people around you.

You are only one conversation, text message, high five, hug like chit chat away from coffee, away from somebody knowing a stream of, I guess, direction or conversation to get you to what you want. And if you speak it out loud, not only are you telling the people around you that this is something that you desire, people are always wanting and willing to help. They want to be the hero in that situation. They want to be the connector. But also you're speaking it out loud to the universe and you're really claiming it.

So you're, that's a form of manifesting that leads me into journaling and manifesting. Writing it down for yourself daily will help get you in the practice of telling yourself that you want it because a lot of times it just takes some convincing to yourself. So if you want to get clean, you want to get sober, you want to make that phone call to somebody that you owe an apology to, or that you've been wanting to know why your friendship ended, or you want to tell your parent that you're really struggling with them, you want to have a business deal with somebody, write it down daily.

Get in the practice of journaling and manifesting it, speaking it to yourself by way of pen paper typing. However it is that you like to journal and really start to see that come to life in that way, then when it comes time to have that conversation, either in person or in an email, whatever the next phases for you time, you've already told yourself every day that you want it and that you're worthy of it. And you have told yourself and the universe that you believe that it should come to you and will come to you.

That also leads me into writing a letter to somebody. Snail mail is one of the best ways to get in touch with people. My mentor talks about this all the time. My mother taught us to write thank you notes and cards and to really be thoughtful about the types of cards that you send to people and the letters that you send to people. I will never stop writing snail mail and I think it's a beautiful way to get somebody's attention. And again, you can do this in your own time, in your own way, with your own words, without having to be face to face.

So it's a great way to get started. The number one thing that you want to think about is, and those are the tips, but building a habit of just asking for it, those habits are going to look different for every person. For me, if I want something, I go right to the source. I don't like to do. I mean, I definitely journal and I manifest it. That is a practice of mine. But when it comes to business and when it comes to making my dreams happen, I have no problem. If I want to be at the Phoenix Suns game singing the national anthem, I'm going to contact the Phoenix Suns and say it is a dream of mine to sing the national anthem.

Here's a recording of my voice. Here's a recording of me singing it, you know, on a microphone. I helped you with a charity event three years ago, this would be my ever loving dream. To do it, I would go right to the source and I would do it and be ready for a yes. That's the other thing is you don't even understand how much people want to help make other people's dreams come true. So you need to be ready for that yes when you ask for it. So I think all of those tips that I gave you can help lead you up to that point of being able to be ready for it.

Because don't even threaten me with a good time. If somebody comes to me with a big dream, you can bet I'm going to do whatever it is to make that happen for them. So you got to be ready for that. Yes. But I want to just tell you this. The feeling of asking and actually getting the courage to ask is euphoric. It is a natural euphoric state that you will never forget. Just to be able to ask and to have accomplished that. If you can get to that point, that asking is the most exciting part for me. Not knowing what the outcome is going to be, I could care less what the outcome is going to be.

Just having the courage to ask and making the ask gives me so much energy. So if you are looking for that like, feeling of accomplishment and euphoria and excitement, I challenge you to make some big asks. And whatever that big means for you. For me, it's singing at the sun's game one day. Whatever it may be, it's collaborating with a brand to have my company name on their product. I'm going to catch up with some of these comments. Sometimes when you speak out what you need. Sorry, hard to see or are trying to achieve someone.

Yeah. In that group may have a contact for you to achieve it. That is 100% right. Like the six degrees of Kevin Bacon, you are one step away. One conversation, one text, one phone call, one email. From getting what you want. I couldn't agree more. I have my three big goals for 2023. Speak them daily. Luke always has his goals. I love that. Make your. Make your dreams come true by taking action. Like yesterday. Yes, yes. Making your big dreams come true by taking action. The minute you take action, get ready to see results.

So I hope that this inspires you to put yourself out there. Make the ask. And I want to round out this story with. By the way, my friend's husband got a resounding yes from that meat company. Next thing you knew, he was getting his own code to share with his viewers. And like a year's supply of bacon, all because he asked with 100 downloads on his podcast. Meanwhile, his wife is like three or four years into her podcast with hundreds of thousands of downloads and has never asked for a brand sponsorship.

The minute he asked, with no fear, telling them that he loved their product. And that's the other thing. People just want to be pumped up. If you can put yourself in that situation to make the ask, get ready for the yes. Let's freaking go. Go make your ask report back in the community feed. I want to know what big ask you make over the next week. I will ask you again next week when I hop on, and I hope that this inspires you to just go for it. Life is so short. You have nothing to lose by asking for what you need.

Ask for help. Ask for that opportunity. Every ask will lead to something. Whether it's a yes or just the inner courage and pride that you feel in making that move for yourself. You're one step closer to achieving everything that it is that you want. It's all on the other side of that big ask. I hope you guys have an amazing day, an amazing weekend. I know Dan will be on here cooking on Sunday. I love you guys so much. I hope that you get just quality time with family, friends, loved ones, and some time for yourself this weekend.

Take a walk, do a run, go hit the cold, plunge, whatever makes you feel happy, healthy, and like you can go out there and achieve anything. I love you guys. Have a great weekend. It.
