A duffel bag of money is not going to fall out of the sky, and you probably won't win the lottery (one of my best friends is a doctorate statistician, and we've had conversations about the lottery).

If you want a lot of money, you need to own assets (inherited, bought, whatever), to start a business, or sell something. If you want to meet a girl, go out and start talking to girls. It is much quicker than sitting in your apartment and visualizing, waiting for one to knock on your door (although it has happened). If you want a Ferrari, the quickest way is to go to a Ferrari dealership and buy one, whatever color you want, white, black, or red. Now, you will have to first work out the money problem, see above. I have done exactly that. I used to drive only Fords. The my friend mentioned I should upgrade my game and get a luxury car. Honestly, I hadn't even considered it, and within a week, I had a BMW. Since then I've owned Mercedes, 2 other BMW's, and a Land Rover. I'm working on the Lamborghini Gallardo (It's way out of my league right now, have to work on all of the above(money, limiting beliefs, etc.), plus people kinda think you're a jackass in a car like that - ha-).

I think a misnomer in the IM conversation is that if you think it up, it "magically" appears. But I think it is much quicker to think it up, and then *do* something about it. In the doing the magic will begin to happen, the coincidences, the synchs, all of that. Jack Canfield has a good analogy that I like. He says think of a car driving in the night, all you can see is 100 meters ahead of you, but with only that 100 meter vision, you can drive from Los Angeles to New York, just by taking the next step.
