🚀 From Small Wins to Big Asks

Last week we stacked tiny steps. Those micro moves weren’t just activity. They created evidence, confidence, and relationships—the bridge to a bigger ask. When you speak once per meeting, publish one thought, or block one deep-work hour, you’re building receipts that make a raise, promotion, or role move credible.

Turn small wins into a big ask:

🔹 Collect proof: One metric and one testimonial from the last 60–90 days

🔹 Connect the dots: “Consistently doing X led to Y” (one paragraph)

🔹 State the ask: Exact title, scope, or number—“I’m seeking ___ by ___”

🔹 Choose timing & allies: Book during planning cycles; line up a sponsor and a peer

🔹 Rehearse & send: Practice out loud, then send a brief pre-read and calendar invite

Examples:
👤 Personal: 15-minute workouts + meal planning → Big ask: agree a family schedule that protects 3 workout slots weekly and a modest class budget
🤝 Social: Weekly outreach + helpful shares → Big ask: request a warm intro to a hiring manager or a monthly mentorship chat
💼 Professional: Meeting contributions + one published insight + deep-work blocks → Big ask: “Given X results and expanded scope, I’m seeking promotion to ___ (or a salary of ___) this cycle.”
