Welcome to episode 211 of Love, your Money! In this episode, I’m interviewing the amazing and eccentric Dia Bondi. If you know my 7 Steps to Wealth framework, you know that Step 3 is ASK. You can't really boost your financial game without making offers and asking for more; ask for a raise, ask for the sale, ask someone to work for you, ask for a promotion…You catch my drift. It's a fundamental life skill, and if you lack it, your progress is bound to stall. If you unabashedly ask, you might hear more "NOs" than if you never asked, but you're also more likely to experience rapid growth and achieve your goals much quicker.Today’s guest, Dia Bondi, fully embraced this concept and took it to a whole new level when she wrote her new book, Ask Like an Auctioneer: How to Ask For More and Get It.In this episode, Dia and I talked about her time attending auctioneer school, where she learned to approach rejection differently. She then turned that simple but profound idea into a workshop, a TEDx talk, a movement, and now a book. So buckle up, this one is juicy!Here’s what you’ll find out in this week’s episode of Love, your Money:Asking for more in your career as a womanHow Dia became an auctioneerWhy you want to hear “no” in negotiationsUsing psychology to make more moneyDetaching your worth from what you’re paidWhy defining a purpose can aid your negotiationsTurning ideas into books, courses, and workshopsThe value of having a bias for action Show NotesTo get access to the full show notes, including all the resources mentioned, visit: https://hendershottwealth.com/podcast/dia-bondiFollow Hilary on:TwitterLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeSubscribe to Love, your MoneyApple PodcastsOvercastSpotifyGoogle Podcasts Hendershott Wealth Management, LLC and Love, your Money do not make specific investment recommendations on Love, your Money or in any public media.
