"Ask for what you want." That’s the general advice the world gives people (specifically women) when it comes to succeeding in the corporate world, but that’s only half the advice and it is this half-story that causes most people to fail at getting what they want. The other half is about knowing what you are currently doing and what you are willing to do to make what you want a reality.
