Today in PivotMe we dive into the concept of the "unreasonable ask"—making bold requests that push boundaries and unlock new opportunities. From athletes to entrepreneurs, we'll discuss how stepping outside our comfort zones can lead to significant breakthroughs.

• The Concept of the Unreasonable Ask: Understanding what it means to make an unreasonable ask and why it's crucial for growth.
• Siri Lindley's Story: How Siri Lindley made an unreasonable ask to train in Switzerland with elite athletes.
• Real-Life Examples:
  • David pitching 12-month contracts instead of month-to-month.
  • Mike asking for a $50 million loan for his company.
• Why You Should Make the Unreasonable Ask: Recognizing that others less qualified are already doing it and succeeding.
• Overcoming Self-Doubt: Encouragement for listeners to believe in their capabilities and ask for what they deserve.
• Practical Examples and Challenges:
  • Asking for mentorship or partnerships.
  • PivotMe Academy member's story about seeking support as a new foster mom.
  • Ben's larger-than-usual proposal.

Embrace the power of the unreasonable ask. Push your limits, believe in your worth, and seize the opportunities that come your way. Remember, if you don't ask, the answer is always no.
