Have you tried to manifest other things than money??

Yes.
Before I'd even heard of the Law of Attraction, a friend of mine introduced me to the idea of stating intentions. During that conversation, I stated an intention to get 8-10 horn students. (I had 3-4 at the time.) Not just any horn students, but motivated, dedicated, talented ones who would be a pleasure to teach as we learned from each other. I even set a deadline. After that, I didn't formally state it with any regularity, but whenever the subject of teaching would come up either in conversation or in my thoughts, I thought of my intention.
A couple weeks later, someone contacted me about teaching group lessons in a couple middle schools. About a month after that, one of my friends quit teaching horn and referred some of his students to me. Though the deadline passed without 10 private students yet, it was clear more were coming. (And if I counted the group lessons, I was already there and then some.) Soon, the trombone player in my brass quintet, a band director, heard that I was doing the group lessons and asked me to convince some of his students to take private lessons. By spring I had 12 private students and 3 group lessons (10 more students). Talk about abundance! Over the summer, I gained one more, two quit, and I fired one, so now I'm happily at 10 students who are a lot of fun to teach.
You could say that by focusing my attention and desire on having a great vegetable garden, I am intending that into existence, too. I'm also manifesting a strong, loving relationship with my husband. It's safe to say that I'm *not* manifesting a lot of gigs, but if I wanted them, they'd come. You could say that I'm manifesting
few gigs, and those that come my way are enjoyable because
that is what I want. And so on.... None of these last few are formally stated; I don't focus on them for x minutes per day, but because they are what I want (or don't want), without any ambivalence, they are what I get.
I also managed to manifest something I didn't consciously want—a somewhat frustrating situation with this year's group lessons—but by the time I realized what I was doing, there were only a few weeks left before I was done for the school year.
Since thoroughly reading about the Law of Attraction on Steve's blog, there have been several other intentions that I wrote down and spent some time thinking about regularly—health for my sister-in-law (she’s had breast cancer three times), for me to play horn well in high-pressure situations, for a lower back issue to heal, and a few others, including Steve's, "I intend to be shown the edges of my limiting beliefs, as well as what lies beyond them."
Those that I really care about and spent time with are looking good so far.
