Ask for the moon and get it
Percy Ross, the author of the previous 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 away silver dollars as a symbol of hope to poor children and had a column in the newspapers called “A Million Thanks”, from which he helped countless people with requests for him.
His parents were Jewish immigrants, his father was a scrap dealer and barely earned enough to feed his children. At the age of 7, Percy was taught how to sell eggs to 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 bicycle like other children, but his father couldn’t afford it, he finally got him a very old bicycle, but Percy was delighted with it. Bicycles figured prominently in gifts to underprivileged children. In 1977 he had given away 100 new bikes, but in 1971 he threw a Christmas party for needy children and gave away over a thousand shiny new bikes.
Percy attributed his success to learning from his father the proper way to ask for what he needed. The book stops at his ten lessons for success. It is a beautiful book to stimulate and inspire, I hope it is still in print. Yes, it is still available in bookstores! So that you can also enjoy it and study its 10 rules

Percy details how he chose whose dreams he fulfilled based on how 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 managed to fulfill 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. Excellent 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, all you need is a laptop.
So whatever your dreams are, I hope Percy Ross inspires you and enjoy the story of his life.
