Exactly my ideal as well! What I'm doing right now, is holding that intention as well as intending $1 a month in passive income. My thinking is that the $1 is something that can grow - like attracts like. I'll go from $1, to $5, $10, $20 and so on. At any time the "big idea" could come that would generate my $5k, but also I'm building it at the same time.

Right - that's the point I was trying to get at. It's not just a matter of intending specifically, because both examples use a specific intention. (FWIW, odds shouldn't matter with intention.) The first is using skill to minimize the risks and improve chances, to formulate a plan. The second uses no skill, and is of extremely high chance. If we reap what we sow, who's more likely to bring in the harvest? Which intention is most likely to bring harmony?
