The income you're not asking for.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” – In business? You miss the testimonials you don’t ask for, the shares you don’t request, and the income that was one DM away.

Dear Beloved Reader,

Penelope had rewritten the message four times.
Deleted. Rewritten. Stared.

It wasn’t even a big ask—just a favor from a past client she admired.
“Would you mind sharing this with your audience?”

But her stomach flipped like she was about to confess a secret.
What if they said no?
What if they ignored her completely?

She almost closed the tab.
Instead, she took a breath—and hit send.

Three minutes later:
“Of course! Happy to.”

She was energized by it. It wasn’t a big ask.

But it was a big shift.

🏆 The 15-Second Confidence Habit:

Real confidence—the kind that sticks—comes from showing up in the small moments, not waiting for the big ones.

And not just once. Daily.

Here’s what to try this week:

- Ask one person to share your post

- Ask a past client for a testimonial

- Ask your audience a question in your Stories

- Ask for feedback on your offer, your brand, or your copy.

It’s not about the ask. It’s about the act.

Every time you ask, you flex the muscle.

Every time you hear “yes,” you stack evidence.

Every time you hear “no,” you learn you can survive it.

The more you ask, the less you care about rejection— And the faster your momentum builds.

Confidence isn’t volume. It’s repetition.

📊 Proof:

A Harvard Business Review study found that people underestimate how likely others are to say yes to a request by nearly 50%.
That means your fear of asking is based on bad math.

💬 Unique Perspective:

The women making money online aren’t always the smartest, most skilled, or most strategic.
They’re just the ones willing to ask more often.
For help. For feedback. For the sale.

You can meditate on confidence all day.
But the women who win?
They ask out loud.
