#5: Shoot Your Shot: How One Ask Can Change Everything

If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for someone to “choose” you—this episode is your wake-up call.

Today’s episode is all about the power of asking, being bold, and shooting your shot—even (especially!) when it makes your stomach flip. I’m sharing real, personal stories of the times I decided to go first, introduce myself, raise my hand, or slide into the DMs… and how those moments completely transformed my life and business.

We’re talking:

• Why delusion + audacity = magic
• How I went from fangirl to friend with a Dream 100 client
• What to check in with before you shoot your shot
• The mindset shift that’ll have you sending the pitch, applying to the program, or asking for the meeting
• And why rejection? Yeah, it’s just redirection.

I also walk you through my personal framework to take action from a place of alignment—not desperation—and offer a gentle (but firm) push to just go for it.

✨ Your big break might be ONE ASK AWAY.

Whether it's landing your dream podcast feature, building a new friendship, or just raising your hand at an event—you've got to stop waiting and start showing up. Be bold. Be intentional. Risk it for the biscuit.

Then come tell me about it. DM me over on Instagram at @magneticprofits—I wanna hear your story.

005 - Shoot Your Shot raw video

===

[00:00:00] So I saw this post a couple of days ago on my Instagram, and I really wanna start off today's episode with reading it off to you guys and what the like quote had essentially said. It said All you need is a little delusion and the audacity, and you can seriously do anything in this life. And honestly guys that hit so home for me, I absolutely shared that post on my story.

I was so excited to share it because I feel like it's become my life. It is something that I swear to you guys, I'm pretty much at this point delusional, and I do have the audacity to ask for what I want. And it's allowed me to learn how to shoot my shot. And I swear to you guys that because of this and because of this mentality, it's helped me to get on all the right stages, do all the right collaborations, even meet real life friends, and everything in my life really changed when I just started with this one thing, which is I shot my shot and I asked, and I introduced myself.

I went first, and I want you to do the same. Today we're talking about how to do that in a way that's bold, authentic, and aligned. Because [00:01:00] this is the mindset that truly opens the doors than anything else that I've ever done in my, in my whole entire entrepreneurship journey, and even in my life. And I'm so excited to be sharing this with you guys on not only like some of the practical tips of what you can do to kind of get yourself there, but also to just take a step back and remind yourself of the times in your life that you've actually shot your shot.

And what has that done for you to give yourself proof that if you just shoot your shot every once in a blue moon. You're gonna find that like life will give you exactly what you want, and sometimes we don't need to sit here and wait for it, right? So let's take it back just a little bit to some defining moments in my life.

Just to share with you guys how this kind of came to be for me. Because for quite some time, I feel like when I was younger, I really didn't know how to shoot my shot, mostly because I was really young. I didn't know what I wanted in life. I feel like the more that I've grown up, even though I'm 34, the more that I've grown up, the more that I realize.

That life is just all about asking for what you want, whether that's in the form of manifesting, whether that's in the form of [00:02:00] actually physically asking someone or just sharing it with the world. And so a couple of these defining moments for myself have been, like, for example, my very first podcast that I ever was interviewed on, it was called the I Love Bookkeeping podcast.

And it's super nerdy podcast. You guys would not enjoy it so much unless you're in the accounting firm. And I remember the day that I had pitched it to the guy who was the actual, um, what do they call him, the. The show host. I'm like one of them, and I don't know why I'm like blanking on what they're called.

And his name was Ben. And I remember like emailing him and being like, I wanna be on the podcast. When can you interview me? I didn't even like give him an option of like, it's that, is that okay? I legit was like, when can you interview me? And he straight up was like. We would love to actually interview you.

We've actually been having you top of mind, like, so that was a really good indicator and a reminder to myself. That was a really great example of like reminding myself that I was already on their radar, but it was a matter of me asking 'cause they were too busy to remember to ask me to be on it. Another example of this was my first time that I ever taught in an online course.

This online course that I taught on guys. For my, um, [00:03:00] first company actually, um, was really the springboard for my second company and the program was called Bookkeeper Launch. And I remember that they were looking for instructors and I was like, I've had so much success from taking this program myself, but like almost eight years ago now.

And I remember being like, yo, can I be a teacher on bookkeeper launch? And they were like, absolutely. We'd love to. The audience loves you. Um, you know, every other people in the Facebook groups, they've seen your success and I think you'd be such a great person to teach. That was such a massive springboard for me.

To really launch off my Workflow Queen brand because we help a lot of people in the accounting space. It was just made a lot of sense. So just from a simple ask. Another one too is if you didn't get the chance to, I highly recommend listening to episode number one, where I talk about my 446 K launch, but you'll hear me share that.

Um, in that episode where I talked about Alex Speedin and her program together, we launched, and that was the program I learned how to officially launch. And then with our first launch, we did 116 k, and since then, our largest launch has been 446 K in a week. I shot my shot with her. She [00:04:00] legit, like on her application, on her website, on her Instagram, was very adamant about the fact that you had to have a viable digital product that can sell a decent amount, like literally like over six figures, like, and I did not have that.

I barely had a couple of people signing up the first time I ever launched it. Eight months later, I was like, man, I know I have a product. I just need the right marketing. And I remember filling out the application. And guys, most people probably wouldn't fill out the application because it's very apparent.

That you have to be at a certain stage. But I poured my heart and soul into that application just making it very clear to her that like, I know I'm an oddball. I know I'm the odd man out. I do not fit your criteria, but one thing about me is that I will do absolutely anything you tell me and I will be that one who will out, out win everybody in your group, like I promise you.

She gave me a chance, guys, and I did, I out. I out launched everybody and it was so crazy, but I just shot my shot. I deeply believed it. Another example of this is also like pay raises, job promotion. So like when I wanted to bartend, I remember when I was 21 I was like, [00:05:00] I went up to my boss and said, I wanna bartend.

I was just like a host at the time, and he was like. Okay, when do you wanna start? And I was like, uh, I was so nervous. He was like, and I remember the day that like someone didn't show up to work and they were a bartender and they're like, okay, Alyssa, you're on. All because of an ask. And while it was scary and I probably could have backed out, it was so beautiful at that time.

New. I'll give you another example of how this shows up in like life too and not just like career and money. So fun fact, the other day, it's like as I'm recording this, like literally like four or five days ago I was coming back from an event in Venice Beach and while I was driving on the freeway, I was driving on the two 10 freeway.

Like, if you guys dunno this about me. I love off-roading. I love camping. I love all the things like dirt, mud, all the fun things that most people wouldn't expect out of me, but I'm like obsessed with it. And I'm driving on the freeway and, and because I'm like really big into the off-roading like world in the off-roading space, my four runner's super lifted.

It also has like all the like decked out stuff on the outside. Like you could tell it's an off-roading vehicle. So I'm driving down the freeway. This white forerunner set up pretty similar to the way that my off-road, [00:06:00] off-road vehicle is set up, drives right next to me and she literally turns over and waves at me and it's another, another woman.

And it is very rare guys to meet women in the off-roading space who are super into it. And it was so fun. So as soon as like we waved at each other, I was like, oh my God, I gotta figure out how to be her friend because like I need her to like go offroading with me. 'cause it's like so rare to find these women.

I legit took a picture of her license plate because in the off-roading, um, space, a lot of times people will like rename their their off-roading vehicle and they'll be on their license plate name and then they'll typically create an Instagram from it. So, lo and behold, I searched on Instagram. I actually found her through her license plate name.

She had an Instagram and I reached out to her. I was like, this is super weird, but we were driving next to each other on the two 10 freeway. We should be friends. And she was like, oh my God. I was trying to figure out how to like get a, get ahold of you as well. And whatnot. I was legit. I was gonna like follow her off the freeway.

Like that's how much I was like, we gotta be friends. I was willing to shoot the shot and next thing you know guys, like two days later [00:07:00] or three days later, we went offroading in Big Bear together. Like that was literally yesterday As I'm recording this and funny fact is I'm actually taking off her three month road trip in my travel trailer and my off-roading vehicle.

So I'm gonna go travel to different states and she's also doing the same thing at the end of May and it's so crazy. We're so like. Oddly aligned with each other. It's just so crazy. But it all started with just me shooting a shot and being like, if she thinks I'm weird in an Instagram message, then we should never be friends.

Another example of this same thing, but like in the off-roading space is one time I was at, I was in Arizona visiting my best friend, and so someone parked right next to me, same color, forerunner, it was all decked out. I knew that they loved off-roading and yet I saw a pink, I saw like a pink track board.

It's, they're called track boards. You put 'em on the floor to like drive over mud and stuff. I saw a pink track board. I was like, that's for sure a chick. I left a note on her vehicle and I was like, Hey, you parked right next to my car. We're like twin cars and we have the same color for runner and I think you love Offroading and I know you're a chick because of the pink.

I would love to be [00:08:00] your friend. She literally, like, I gave her my Instagram. She like instagramed me next couple of days. We went Offroading, so like this happens in my real life too. And so. I want you guys before we dive into how do we logistically like take a step back and do this, I wanted to like inspire you with my stories.

There's so many other memories and moments in my life, guys that I put myself in the right room collabed with the right people, all because of a simple me shooting my shot and just being like, oh, well the worst they can say is no. Or the worst they can do is think I'm a weirdo, right? So. This wasn't anything where I waited for it.

I chose to ask for these things. I chose myself first, and I said, what's the worst that can freaking happen? Because all I want in my life, guys, is to truly connect with people. Truly just make an impact. Be in the right spaces. But I know that that's not just gonna come to you. So if you're someone who really struggles with asking for things or shooting your shot because you're shy or.

You feel like, um, you're scared of failure or whatever that might look like. I really hope this episode inspires you. So one thing that I wanna do before we deep [00:09:00] dive into my framework for and some tips and tip tricks and things of how you guys can do the same for yourself, I want you to pause this episode and I want you to just take a moment, whether it's a piece of paper, write it down, go on a walk, whatever feels good for you.

And I want you to ask yourself, what in my life have I ever stopped and just shot my shot? Asked for the thing, asked to be in that room, asked to be on that podcast, or just shot your shot and ask someone if you could be their friend or what. Have you ever done it? It doesn't have to be super dramatic or super crazy.

It doesn't have to be like me, where you literally like find someone on the freeway and look up, up on Instagram. Just think of those little moments because sometimes we might not realize that we actually have shot or shot, but we don't usually reflect on it. And so this is something that's been coming up a lot in my life lately to the point where I was like.

I'm onto something here because I never really realized my superpowers. I call. I call a lot of the things that I do really well, my superpowers, and I really hope you call yours your superpowers. And my superpower truly is just being like, when I want something, I'm gonna ask [00:10:00] for it. I'm not afraid to actually just see what's gonna happen, and I really wish more women feel empowered like this and that you wouldn't need to wait for permission because there's so many opportunities sitting right in front of you.

If all you did was shot your shot. If all you did was just take a deep breath and just ask and just hope for the best. And a lot of the times people, most of the time I have found that most people say yes or if they say no, they usually tell me why. Or I ask 'em why and they'll gimme some information.

Like then you go about your day. Maybe that wasn't in alignment anyways. Just be brave enough to go first. Be brave enough to ask to just risk it. Risk it for the biscuit people. It's like one of my favorite things I love to say. So let's talk about how we actually. Do this. What does that look like? I want you guys to think back and think about the times that you have shot the shot, asked the ass, tried to be in the room, asked for something that you wanted to, but I want you to think about what did it come intentionally?

So the things that worked out for [00:11:00] you, usually it worked out with you because like you so deep down, we're so connected to the ask, and you had so much intention behind it because you knew that you were meant for something bigger. There wasn't an agenda. The big thing that I see when, when people ask for stuff and like we see this all the time guys, like if you're any in any sort of like networking event or I'm sorry, networking like group or anything like that, or maybe a more traditional one like BNI, you will find that a lot of BNI is people just asking for things.

And while I'm not really connected with BNI, I actually have my own networking groups that I'm absolutely in love with. And those are the ones that like people aren't just sitting there like. Asking for things left and right. People are genuinely connecting. They're supporting each other. They're being helpful.

There's not really a deep underlying agenda when like, yes, I know that everyone's probably trying to like make business at one point. Sure, that's okay. But it doesn't come out in the conversations. It doesn't come out in the ask. It doesn't come out in. The things that are coming up. So when [00:12:00] you come in hot trying to just get something from someone, or you just want them a sale or you just need something that's not the shooting, the shot that I'm referring to, the shooting, the shot that I'm referring to is the one that's so deeply genuine, so deeply connected.

It is crazy for them to say no to you because they will feel that. They will feel that energy, and if they don't, they're not your people. Right. When you show up authentically and you show up with curiosity and generosity and you, and you show up in a way that feels so in alignment for what you're asking for.

People see that. And that is my favorite part about shooting a shot is like one, getting really clear with myself on what's the intention behind this ask, right? So instead of, can I pick your brain instead try something like, you know, I've been following your work and I, it's really impacted me in a lot of different ways.

And you said this thing over here, so X over here, thank you so much for sharing that and just lead it open to like. Thanking them for that thing. Let the [00:13:00] conversation start flowing and be like, can I pick your brain on something? It's not weird. You're not putting them down. A weird like rabbit hole. This truly leads to connection.

Then when the as comes, it's rooted in a real relationship. Another thing I wanted to share, so number two is your big break is hiding behind a small ask. That thing that can be life changing, whether in business, whether in personal or whatever that makes the most sense for you, is hiding behind one tiny conversation, one tiny shot, one tiny opportunity, and it's those little moments in time.

If you've ever recognized for yourself that a lot of times that we've had. Really riveting changes, pivots shifts in our business and even our life always came from just simple little things. And so maybe it's just DMing that person you admire. Maybe it's saying hi to someone at an event that you like really love what they look like and you love their energy and you think they're amazing.

Tell them maybe that's in inviting someone to coffee or to lunch or just asking them. [00:14:00] Maybe it's just offering support with zero strings attached. This is something that was really hard for me to understand. The very beginning of my journey was the offering support with zero strings attached. Like I really never understood what bringing the value I'm doing.

Bunny ears. If you guys are watching on video, then you'll see me with the bunny ears, but like the bunny ears of like offering nothing, like you know, the value to somebody is. It took me a while to really understand this 'cause I was like, why would I give everybody the answer to something because then they would never wanna work with me.

I've actually found that the more information, the more details I gave to people, the more likely they were to work with me. So I had to have evidence and proof to show me that life can be this beautiful thing when I give everything as well to someone. And so I kind of wanted to like really make sure to hit on that point.

So my encouragement for you is like. Maybe there's someone that you admire. You would be really crazy guys to not realize that there's, uh, times in our life that all you have to do is ask them [00:15:00] and send them a message. Tell 'em you resonate with that story. If someone were to reach out to me and they're like, really admire me and they want to like get to know me, and they want to be in my world and they want to be my friend, and they wanna go beyond just business.

All they have to do is shoot me a heartfelt dm. If someone shoots me a DM DM and says, can I pick your brain right from the start, I'm immediately like, okay, here's my scheduling link. Right? But if someone comes to me and they, and they come along for the journey and they say, Hey, I listened to one of your episodes and I really resonated it because it made me feel like this, and this is exactly what was going through me.

I would love to kind of chat through how you navigated that. That immediately to me is like, oh no, they're not just trying to pick my brain. They're truly trying to get and understand the depth. And so as someone who receives those dms. I truly love reaching out to people that I absolutely admire and say I'm gonna get in the room with them.

There's so many people I manifested that are in my life that they don't even realize that I manifested them like down to their actual name. Like it's quite crazy how powerful manifesting can be. [00:16:00] Um, I'll give you a great example. I have a Dream 100 client list, so it's essentially all of our a hundred of people that I would absolutely love to work with our firm.

And on that list was a very particular woman who's now a really close friend of mine and we got both invited to an exclusive dinner in Scottsdale, Arizona like about a year ago now. And I remember when my coach had, she was already on my Dream 100 list, by the way. I remember telling my coach, 'cause I was working with my coach at the time, and I said.

You better, you better sit her next to me. And she's like, what? She's like, I already planned on doing that because you guys both could nerd out all day every day over spreadsheets. And I, I remember being like, perfect. I love that you know that about both her, me and her, and that's why you were gonna automatically sit us next to each other.

But I shot my shot with even my coach to be like, can you put her right next to me? And I wasn't gonna be a weirdo and be like, I want you to be my client. I'm like, blah, blah, blah. That wasn't even it. I just wanted to deeply connect with her. As soon as we met at the Scottsdale dinner, we immediately connected.

I was not surprised that we both were just vibing [00:17:00] and we just got into deep talking almost immediately, and we were sitting right next to it. We just con connected so well with each other. And I remember being like, Hey, I'd love to get your phone number shot my shot once again, I'd love to get your phone number.

And I'd love to just ch like, meet up one day. I'm actually gonna be traveling up pretty soon in, in Arizona. I come out here all the time. My best friend lives over in uh, Prescott, and I'm always in the area. She actually lives out in Sedona. And I got her phone number and our connection piece at that time was like she had just hired a personal assistant.

I was just hiring a personal assistant and we were just sharing and swapping like things that I was planning on asking this person to do. And then she was sharing with me what she was already planning to, or what was already having her personal assistant do. And I remember us just going back and forth and we just deeply connected.

I wasn't asking her for anything crazy. I wasn't telling her to be my client or anything like that. We just connected. So we exchanged phone numbers and a couple of months later, guys, I was actually on a, um, 2, 2 3 month travel trailer trip out into Arizona. And while I was out there, I, I called her and I was like, Hey, look, I'm [00:18:00] actually gonna be out in Arizona.

I'd love to come out to Sedona and come meet up with you if you and your hub are down. Like, let's go. And they love Offroading too. They have a side by side and I have a fore runner. And I was like, let's go Offroading. They're like, we'd love to show you the backend of Sedona. And we met up and we went Offroading.

It was so much fun. And guys. Uh, they're no longer on my Dream 100 list. Not that I wouldn't say that I would never take them as a client because I absolutely would. But what I mean is like I asked the universe for this dream client, but they turned into my friend and to me that was way cooler than what I had originally asked for.

And so. It kind of leads me into my next point, but I just wanna share that story with you guys because this person is so incredible. Her energy is so amazing, and she's just such an incredible human. But if I had never shot my shot with her and never put myself one into the right room that she would be in, not that I knew that she was originally gonna be in that room like.

It just happened to be like, oh my God, she's in that room too. So exciting. Like, so not that I was being weird guys, let's be real here. Um, so I just [00:19:00] wanted to share that with you guys, that sometimes like you can manifest things in ways that you don't even know and can articulate are originally actually going to what you originally thought was gonna happen actually turns into something even more beautiful.

And so that leads me into the next really perfect segue into the next little piece that I wanted to talk to you guys about, which is rejection isn't a dead end, it's redirection. So my story that I particularly shared with you guys. About the woman I met at that dinner who was a dream client, who now turned into a friend.

Um, I wanted to share that story because it's not that I was rejected 'cause I was never once rejected, but it does, it does have a very important piece that I wanna kind of talk through. My idea of what this person was going to be to me when I met them was to be a Dream 100 client. So to be a client that would work with my firm.

However, the universe had other plans and so when this wall comes up where you're like, oh my God, I didn't get them as a client, like imagine if this is how it went. Imagine if I met her, I was like, oh my God, I need to like immediately text her right after and be like, we should get on a call because I feel like I can help [00:20:00] you with finances and I can help you with like changing your business and your life.

Imagine if I would've approached her like that after coming back from Scottsdale and this intimate dinner where we really connected immediately. She would've been turned off immediately, would've never been my friend, right? And so the reason I say this is because. I chose to move through this conversation, move through this change of like, wait, the universe is actually not giving her as a client, it's actually giving to me as a really close friend.

This is way freaking cooler. I love that. I have her as my friend. I love that. Like I'm gonna see her probably in a couple weeks back when I go travel to Arizona and I'm really excited to see her and her husband, uh, to go offroading to go to dinner and do all these things, right. So the reason I'm sharing this with you is that sometimes the universe has a different idea of what you're supposed to be shooting your shot for and what the outcome's gonna be.

So don't be too obsessed with what outcome you're trying to look for in shooting your shot. If you shoot your shot, let it move through. You let it move through of like different changes in different ways it can present itself because you might not realize that on the other side it's something [00:21:00] even more beautiful.

So. I will also say though, that when you are actually shooting your shot with someone, maybe it's like you're DMing your favorite person and they never respond back. Actually, fun fact guys, going back to that same woman from, from Sedona like three years prior. I had messaged her at my workflow queen company being like, I'd love to have you on a guest on the podcast.

I never heard back and like so technically. N she had never responded yes or no, but I had never heard back from her. Imagine if I would've went to our first time ever meeting in real life, being like, well, she never messaged me back on Instagram about being on my podcast. So like I would've missed all these opportunities.

So just because you ask and someone doesn't respond or you ask and the universe doesn't give, it's probably because there's a bigger picture at play. And just because someone says no to you doesn't mean that. You're a failure. It just means that you just need a bit of a redirection. Um, did you actually want that thing that you asked for?

Maybe the universe was looking out for you or God, whatever you wanna call it, was looking out for you? Did it feel truly aligned? Maybe you thought it was aligned, but it actually might not have been. Right. There's a lot of times when I asked [00:22:00] for stuff and shot my shot and then it didn't work out, and I was like.

Later on, I'm like, oh, okay. Really glad that didn't work out because if it did work out, it would've been a bad idea. Um, there's a lot of those instances that have happened to me and, and throughout my journey as even an entrepreneur and as a human as well. So if you get rejected, it's totally fine. It's not a dead end.

Just redirect and don't let that be the thing that's gonna stop you from continuing to shoot your shot. Another thing that I wanna talk to you guys about is checking in with yourself before you actually shoot that shot. Before you ask, before you put yourself out there. This is a critical part of the success of asking for what you want from people, things, places, relationships, whatever that might look like.

Are you doing it because you're aligned with, it's aligned with your values, your vision, or even maybe your next level? Or are you doing it because you feel behind? Or you wanna prove something, pause before you pitch. Pause before you ask. Pause before you shoot your shot, shooting your shot, anything that you're gonna do.

[00:23:00] But only do it if that's actually what you want. Deep down. And if you don't know, if that's what you want, like I'll give a great example of this. Sometimes that people have these big dreams around money. So like it could be like, I wanna hit seven figures, I wanna hit six, I wanna hit 10 K months, whatever that might be.

You might have picked that up because someone convinced you that that's what your goal needs to be. Could have been a coach that you worked with, could have been someone on Instagram while you were scrolling. It doesn't matter where. So like take some time to take a step back and say, is this what I really want and why am I shooting the shot?

The last thing I kind of wanna talk about is building a practice of boldness and not singular, brave moments in time. So what I mean by this is when I look back at my journey of shooting shots, they were little moments. Like I mentioned at the very beginning, little tiny moments that made a massive difference.

It wasn't just one ask, it wasn't just one connection. It wasn't just one thing. It was me being very intentional and allowing those little tiny [00:24:00] moments to springboard me, take me to the next level. Just DM that person. Raise your hand, ask the question, submit the pitch, whatever it is. Guys, my goal for this episode today is that one thing you have been dying to do, whether it's to reach out to someone that you think is so freaking rad, you wanna be their friend or that neighbor that you see every single day that you're too shy to ask, or that guy that you really want to have ask you on a date, and maybe they're just as shy as you.

I want you guys to pick one bold thing, and I want you to do it today. I want you to share it with me. Come on. Instagram at Magnetic Profits, you can just DM me. If I'm that person that maybe you admire, I'm gonna invite you to come DM me. I'm actually a pretty chill, normal human that loves to meet people, loves to go do all the the fun things.

I want you to remind yourself to just be a little bit more bold. Put yourself out there. Make this a practice, make this a thing. I'm genuinely not scared to ask for things that I want or to shoot my shot. It could be [00:25:00] as simple as going to the grocery store and like going up to the meat counter and seeing that there's like, I don't know, lamb chops that aren't there.

And then most people would be like immediately sad and walk away. I'm the person who will ask the people, Hey, do you have lamb chops back there? And half the time they'll be like, yeah, I've got actually Australian lamb chops back here. You want 'em? Super random example, but like you get the point. It's just a matter of just asking.

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not possibly able to happen. The one other thing I wanted to share around like raising your hand when I talked about that this is something that, especially if you've been conditioned through like school. I was someone who was made fun of for always raising my hand, for always wanting to ask questions because like I've just been that person who always wants to know more and more and more that I stopped asking questions when I was younger.

It took me almost until I was 30 to finally get myself to be like, I need to raise my hand more. And now like I am that person. Guys, if any of you guys listening to this have ever been to at an event with me or ever been in like any sort of room with me, with someone being an authority or even someone being [00:26:00] like.

Um, uh, like able to teach something or share something, I am that person to literally raise my hand and ask a question because I feel like for so long I limited myself because I wasn't willing to shoot my shot even by asking a question. And I've gotten some crazy. Amazing answers. I've even had people come up to me who also were attendees at events and being like, you ask really great questions.

And I'm like, well, I just love asking because if I don't ask, I'm just gonna sit here and percolate on all the things that they told me and just go home and never take action. So raise that hand, ask that question. Submit the pitch. Just do it. Couple of things that you might come up with as you navigate shooting your shot or making this happen, or being more aware of how often you're asking.

I want you guys to think about the times that you might tell yourself, like, who am I to ask? Who am I to ask that person about that question to clarify? Who am I to ask that person to, to go to dinner with me? Um, I don't match their level of success. There's no way they'd say yes, I. [00:27:00] I understand this because I felt that before.

I know that you don't wanna seem desperate or you don't, but then don't be desperate. Don't be desperate. It really comes down to you just being genuine. You're genuinely wanting to connect with them. You're genuinely wanting to support them. It's not me coming over here and selling someone and pitching them immediately.

It's just coming out of peer love, respect, and wanting to connect. I want you to shoot your shot this week, and I want you to challenge yourself. I want you to pick one thing that you've been holding yourself back from and not doing or not asking for. Maybe it's a podcast that you wanna be on. Maybe it's a client that you wanna pitch.

Maybe it's a mentor that you really wanna connect with and be in their mastermind and you feel like you can't be because you don't meet all the criteria. Maybe it's a new friend that you wanna invite to dinner. Shoot your shot, then send me a DM on, uh, on Instagram at magnetic profits and tell me how it goes.

I wanna hear your story. I [00:28:00] love hearing when people do bold moves based off one episode I. Guys, it took me so long for me to do this, and it's just transformed my life. Just a quick little recap. Don't wait to be chosen. Choose yourself. Shoot with intention and not with just ambition. Rejection is redirection.

It's not something bad. Check your why before you're actually asking for things. This, this is something that I truly want and all above all else. Build a habit of bravery. This is how we become magnetic millionaires on our own terms. I am so excited to be diving into the next episode. Guys, we've got a great one coming up.

I'm not even gonna tease it here. You're definitely gonna wanna pop into the next one, but before you do, make sure to shoot your shot, send that dm, pitch that pitch, whatever feels good for you, and share it with me. I cannot wait to hear all of your success stories and how this works out for you. Chat soon.
