A big thanks to everyone who reviewed “Natural Born Coaches” for the Apple Podcasts contest in July.

The winner of the $100 Amazon gift card is Hitendra Pratap (who’s in India, so it’s cool to see people from around the world listening to the show …)

I’ll also share a little nugget so this isn’t only about announcing the winner:

When in business, you’re going to have to ask for support.

Being shy and expecting it to come without asking just won’t cut it.

In a perfect world you’d get these things without asking, but in the real world people are busy and they need to be prodded.

And you’ll probably have to ask multiple times.

So here’s a challenge for you today …

Choose something that you want and that will move your business forward, and ask people for it.

If you’re providing value out there, most are happy to help.

It could be podcast reviews, client testimonials, or connections to people you need to meet … just ask.

And don’t ask once … keep on asking.

Good luck,

Marc
