"You can ask for the moon and get it", said a man I knew, Percy Ross, a multi-millionaire, who wrote a book about it, had a syndicated advice column--which was read all across the country on the theme "asking"-- and through the column he gave money or arranged for some of what his readers asked for. He did the same on a live radio show in Minneapolis, where he was living. He died several years ago shortly after giving his entire 20 million dollar fortune in 50s and 100s and 1000s of dollar bequests to some of the people who asked, depending on what they asked for and the manner in which they asked, and why it was worthy of accommodation or frivolous. In his book, his column and on his show he explained the dynamics of asking and why people say yes to someone asking even if the person asking is a stranger to them.

What most of us don't realize and why we, way-too-often, don't ask for what we want is we think asking is always an imposition or because we can't handle the idea of being turned down, as if it was a personal rejection.

What very few humans are aware of is nearly everyone wants to say yes, no matter who asks, if the person asked is able and ready to say yes and has some reason to be willing.

Is it possible, even practical to ask anyone--those we know, or are barely acquainted with, or even complete strangers--for anything. Can we move the needle from no certainty in the direction of more certainty, or even near total certainty, and--yes,it sounds impossible--even complete certainty, that the person asked will accommodate us? The answer is a resounding YES! Can we move the batting average from the double digits to batting 1000? Yes, yes, yes.

I assure you the answer is yes, once you see what moves people to accommodate others, even strangers.

By understanding why and when you say yes, you will better understand the motivation of others saying yes, starting yourself on the path to outrageous asking and people complying in the most natural fashion.

To illustrate this dynamic of unexpected accommodation, imagine the collection of possessions that many people have stored and are not using. They likely have already decided to get rid of many of these things, yet they've delayed taking action.
If you, even a stranger, where to learn they had such an item stored and no longer wanted it, then that awareness can support you asking them for the item, followed by a likely or certain yes.

By using your imagination, resourcefulness and exploration, you can expand your awareness of sources like these that you previously didn't expect. Also putting out feelers, networking, communicating with fliers, on-line billboards and tools like Craigslist, are all examples of accessing unsuspected supply waiting for your or anyone's asking.

I suggest you practice your asking in new and creative ways that move you to reach out into areas you've never taken your asking before and then DISCOVER JUST HOW POWERFUL ASKING CAN BE. Continually practicing asking in new ways and new areas will have reinforcing affect that will foster more productive ways of asking. This is a virtuous cycle. Remember people, under the right conditions, want to say yes. They want to make a difference...just as you do, under the right circumstances.

By sustaining and developing this practice, you can transform your state into prosperity.

Now, let's take it to the next level. By asking a room full of people who have shown evidence, clues, that they would want to say yes, and who've been invited to hear what you have to say, you now expose yourself to multiples of yeses. From such a scenario can you see that you could wind up not just with 100% chance for a yes; you actually could get several yeses. By understanding this power of leverage by asking many at one time, you now can expand your expectations of how much you can ask for.

Let's shift our thinking through imagination, as illustrated with the examples above, and realize just how much more is available for the asking in each of our lives.

Several years ago I coined a term Infinite Economics to identify the result of an inquiry, a sort of mind experiment I did. I asked the question: "What if all of economics had the do with handling wants?" If we were to address wants rather than involving money or the act of buying regarding this issue, than we can focus on the question, "How can anyone get what they want?". I found this simplification useful because then I could focus on only the ways that people can get what they want. So far, in this thought experiment (a method Einstein used), I've been only able to isolate eight ways to get anything someone wants. However, this is not a limitation. This is because within each way (each distinction) there may be an infinite number of ways or possibilities to get whatever someone wants. If not infinite, there are certainly an abundant collection of possibilities for each one, considering the number of people and kinds of situations that can be exploited.

One major reason why this is so useful is, it removes the fictional requirement of having to have money first so that you can pay for what you want. When you realize how many people are available to you and how many different kinds of situations can be tapped to bring what you want to you, you are then not stopped or delayed because you think something is missing to move forward. You can act immediately by using your imagination, ingenuity, resourcefulness to tap into the abundance of sources of what you want and the millions, even billions of people who will readily accommodate you if only they knew of your want.

Each of the eight ways are like lenses to reveal just how many sources are available through each way.

To illustrate, let's ask a person in poverty, "What could you do, or have, or develop, if you weren't stopped by lack of material assets, schooling, experience, contacts, or other seeming lack of advantages?" What does an "impoverished" person have going for them, instead of what's missing? Some people might call this creating anything from "nothing."

What would this kind of continuing inquiry create in the face of income "inequality."
I suggest that looking at the possibility of supply through these eight lenses, empowers anyone, who opens their mind to it, that no one has too little to start on the path to having anything they want out of life, no matter how enormous or complex.

I suggest that Infinite Economics is a model (a paradigm) that can reveal the endless possibility for anyone who can open their mind to it and who has sufficient mental ability to understand this model. (I'd guess that would include at least 90% of humans living today.)

I'd further suggest that spreading this understanding into the mainstream of our world population could very well lead to the creation of social and economic justice.

During this period I've been sharing these ways with many people. So far, very few people have seen the possibilities of the simplicity of these categories. I think that's because it contradicts the beliefs of most people that economics is mysterious, complicated and that what most see as insurmountable social problems would not yield to this simple structured way of seeing economic challenges. My view is that these 8 ways are paths to human empowerment, using any person's integral advantages.

My invitation to my readers is to try on this way of looking at economic challenges. Experiment with one or more of the ways by improvising and experimenting with approaches within each way. Use the example of things you want, yet seem unobtainable to you. You can also use these 8 lenses to look at other people who seem to be stopped in getting what they want. You can then recognize what they're not seeing and you might coach or mentor them, if they are open to it, to discovering what is being overlooked, if only they had the "eyes" to see it.

These are the 8 ways to get whatever you want in life, tangible or intangible, material things, or non-material advantages, qualities, or abilities:
1. Ask for what you want;
2. Trade something you have for what you want;
3. Find what you want. I call this "pick the fruit." Pick the fruit of the abundant supply of things people want and can value, that are lying around, "ready-for-the-pickin' ", waiting for you to develop your perception enough to recognize this abundant supply;
4. Borrow it. Obtain it for use until you bring it back according to the terms of an agreement;
5. Share (like borrow) it. With sharing you use it at the site (i.e. a tool) where it belongs while it's not in use. (by keeping #4 and #5 distinct in your imagination, you will be able to think of many more possibilities for each);
6. Accept a gift (not in response to an ask). For example, some one offers what you want because, say they learn of your want without you asking or even your knowing about them;
7. You create what you want. You write a song, paint a picture, build a radio or house, or create a business from an idea or insight.
8. From a divine source (i.e. God). You ask God for it, you prey for it. This is without question an infinite way.

"You can give a person a fish and they'll eat for a day, or you can [give them eyes to see the way for them] to fish." This is not teaching, this is showing the way.
