Ways to make money now

There’s a lot of information, suggestions, and tips available for successfully manifesting the wealth that you want to have in your life. There are too many books, articles, blog posts, movies, audio programs, podcasts, radio shows, etc. to name that focus on money manifestation.

Why is the topic of wealth manifestation so darn popular? Could it be that as humans, we are genetically programmed to always be seeking our financial “highest and best use”? This is actually a real estate term that refers to what will generate the highest net monetary return to a property owner over a period of time.

For some properties, “highest and best use” could be a 20 story apartment building that generates lots of rental income. For other properties it could be a subdivision comprised of 100 small lots. These types of options may be extremely profitable for the property owner; but what if he or she simply wants to build a single home to live in and enjoy the surroundings and views offered there?

Our lives are similar in that we have to balance our personal “highest and best use”, with what we truly desire. Many of us are capable of working 80 hours a week at one, two, or three jobs to create more disposable income. This has become the cultural norm for many Americans. But whether this suits our ultimate life purpose and deepest desires must be carefully analyzed.

We all need money to survive and I would argue that we all need money to thrive. Money is a solution and a tool to carry us through our unique life journey.

But the new rules of wealth manifestation require that we become much more introspective about why we want wealth. I know many people who mistakenly believe that becoming super-wealthy would solve all their problems. One in particular has said to me about a friend who retired early after selling a company for many millions, “look at him, he doesn’t have a care in the world”.

If we think that wealth will bring us more peace, freedom from all worry, great health, and perfect relationships, we’re going to be sorely disappointed! Any wealthy person, who has reached a high level of self-development, will tell you that money gives you the opportunity to move your focus away from the mundane.

What I mean is that when you don’t have to spend precious mental energy worrying about how to get food or pay for the roof over your head, you can focus on higher purposes. Most importantly, having money gives you the chance to make a difference in other people’s lives.

So getting clear on what money will and will not do for you is important. I realize that this can be a difficult exercise if your point-of-view is and has always been one of lack.

The new rules of wealth manifestation indicate that you must concentrate your energies on a higher purpose in order to attract riches into your life. Discover how your talents and passions can be used to solve a problem for others. Think about what you already do well that could add value to what other successful people are doing well.

Lack of money equals a lack of problem-solving. When you find a way to serve others and fulfill their needs, you can’t help but reap the rewards.
