The Power of Asking: Struggles seed Success

In episode 189 of The Real Power Family Radio Show, we sat down with Crystal Dwyer Hansen, co-author of the book Ask, to discuss the life-changing power of asking questions, both of yourself and others. Crystal shares her personal story of hitting rock bottom, standing in line for food stamps as a young mother, and how asking herself one tough question transformed her life completely.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 – 𝗔𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

Crystal’s turning point came when she asked herself, "Am I doing the best I can, or am I taking the easy way out?" That question sparked a dramatic shift in her mindset. The lesson? Sometimes the hardest questions are the ones we need to ask to move forward.

Reflect on where you are in life and be honest about whether you're taking the easy route or striving for your full potential.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴:

From temporary jobs to a national modeling contract, Crystal discovered talents she didn’t know she had. She went from food stamps to becoming a successful realtor and model by asking, "Who will hire me? What can I learn next?" Her journey reminds us that curiosity and a willingness to ask the right questions lead to surprising opportunities.

When faced with challenges, always ask, "What can I learn from this?"

𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗕𝗲 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽:

One of the biggest barriers people face is fear or pride when it comes to asking for help. Crystal shows us how asking for guidance and seeking new avenues can open doors to unimaginable success.

It’s not about asking for a handout, but asking for the knowledge, skills, and guidance to create a better future.

𝗛𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲-𝗨𝗽 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿:

Both Crystal and Eric share stories about hitting rock bottom, only to use it as the foundation to bounce back stronger. Crystal was a single mother with no support; Eric faced financial struggles. Their experiences teach us that it's often in our most difficult moments that we find the strength and determination to rise again. The key is asking for guidance and looking up when you feel like you're at the bottom.

𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿:

Crystal could have easily played the victim. Instead, she chose to ask the hard questions, embrace new opportunities, and ultimately transform her life. Her story serves as a reminder that your current circumstances don't define your future—you do.

Ask yourself the tough questions and step into your power to make real change.

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗵 – 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗵:

Crystal and Eric both emphasize the importance of not just asking for help, but asking to be empowered. Learning to "fish" rather than simply being handed one is the path to self-sufficiency and long-term success.
