ask for the moon and get it
Percy Ross, the author of the above book, began his life in poverty, but through hard work became a millionaire and philanthropist, giving away all his money before he died, relatively recently. He wrote the previous book when he was 70 years old. He was known for giving silver dollars as a symbol of hope to poor children and had a column in newspapers called “Thanks A Million” from which he helped countless people with their requests.
His parents were Jewish immigrants, his father was a junk dealer and barely earned enough to feed his children. At the age of 7, Percy was taught how to sell eggs to the neighbors to help put food on the table. Lessons he learned that helped him throughout his life, he developed ten rules for success and the right ways to ask for what he needs.
As a child, he desperately wanted a bike like other kids, but his father couldn’t afford it, he eventually got him a very old bike, but Percy was delighted with it. Bicycles figured prominently in gifts to underprivileged children. In 1977 he had given away 100 new bicycles, but in 1971 he organized a Christmas party for needy children and gave away over a thousand shiny new bicycles.
Percy attributed his success to learning from his father the proper way to ask for what he needed. The book dwells on its ten lessons for success. It’s a beautiful book to stimulate and inspire, I hope it’s still in print. Yes, it’s still available in bookstores! So that you too can enjoy it and study its 10 rules
to bring you your success
Percy’s Rules:
know what you want
ask the right person
Prepare a good case
Give to receive
Overcome the blocks to ask
ask cleverly
Request not request or beg
show respect
Ask and keep asking
Go beyond me to us.
Percy details how he chose whose dreams he fulfilled according to the way they asked and the needs of the people who wrote for help. I’m not sure if I unknowingly asked the right way but I have achieved two of my dreams I have an online business and we are living in the sun.
If an online business is one of your dreams, the easiest way to get started is affiliate marketing with the guidance of a successful mentor. Great product sales pages and training will be provided to reduce the amount you have to learn before you start earning. It’s a great way of life and gives you freedom of time and choice of location, you just need a laptop.
So whatever your dreams, I hope Percy Ross inspires you and you enjoy his life story.
