The average person finds it difficult to attract money into his or her life. I've struggled with the concept myself. It's only been recently, over the past few years, that I finally began to understand the flow of money.
If you want to increase the flow of money into your life, memorize this sentence: Money flows through service to others. As long as you remember that one sentence, you should do well in your career. If you feel you want to make more money but feel limited with your career choice, then you should look into careers that provide more service to people on a larger scale.
It all boils down to emotional influence. The more you can make people feel something on an emotional level, the more material affluence you will acquire. It doesn't require a high IQ either - just think of all the reality TV shows. Some of the people who host those shows are absolute morons but they make a boat load of cash by entertaining people on a mass scale through the television medium.
Outside of entertainment as a form of service, there is service that requires highly specialized knowledge, such as an attorney or a doctor. Both trades require extensive training and education. The level at which these trades influence individuals is on a much larger scale than the mass emotional influence an entertainer affects a single person. Basically, a well known entertainer can slightly influence millions of people through television while a doctor can dramatically influence one person by saving his or her life.
Now that you have a grasp of the concept, ask yourself this question: how many people do I influence on a daily basis? The answer to that question corresponds directly with the amount of money you earn.
So how do you affect more people? You don't need to be an entertainer. You don't need your own television show or 15 years of education. Start on a small scale - help someone in your household. How about helping your neighbor? Your friend? A family member? A co worker?
Service to others can be performed in any capacity. As long as you are helping other people on a daily basis, the flow of money into your life is inevitable. You can't stop it.
The mistake most people make when money gets tight is they start thinking, "how can I make more money?" when in reality they should be asking themselves, "how can I help more people?"
If you're short on cash. the solution is simple: help other people get what they want! Don't make excuses either - start today. Start right now. If you're unemployed, you have a TON of opportunity to help people on a daily basis. You are free to offer your services to others. You can help people you know or you could donate your time at a local mission or homeless shelter. Those services are typically operated by volunteers.
You're probably going to think I'm nuts for saying this next part, but here it is: help someone today even if it means you aren't getting paid for it directly from that person. Again, let me repeat: focus on helping people, not on the money. Focusing on the money will guarantee your failure while focusing on helping someone will guarantee your success. When the money comes, it will arrive easily and effortlessly, so don't reject it when someone offers it to you. Take it. By helping other people, you're guaranteed to increase the flow of cash into your life. It's as simple as that.
I've written a more detailed essay on the subject. It's in Word format, and you can download a copy of it from my website: the flow of money.
