You’re not underqualified
You’re under-asking
Opportunities rarely knock
They respond when you knock first and keep knocking
The truth:
Most doors stay shut because you never tried the handle
One bold ask can compress six months of waiting
Rejection isn’t a wound - it’s routing data to your next attempt
I used to “wait until I was ready” to pitch
Then I set an ask quota 10 asks a day for 30 days
Introductions booked
Clients landed
Collabs lined up
Nothing magical - just more at-bats than my fear could block
Run the Ask Engine:
Define the target who can say yes to money, access, or distribution
Build a simple script one sentence value, one sentence proof, one clear ask
Set a daily floor 5 to 20 asks depending on your game
Track outcomes yes, no, no reply - iterate the message every 10 sends
Add stakes send proof to a friend by 6pm or pay a $50 penalty
Upgrade your odds:
Make it easy to say yes short message, one link, one next step
Offer asymmetric value give three ideas, ask for one call
Follow up 2 to 3 times politely - half your wins live there
You don’t need more credibility
You need more collisions with luck
What will your daily ask number be for the next 14 days
Cut the fluff. Increase the asks.
