Default Goal setting for financial gain

I recently made a goal in august to obtain around 60-70k by the end of December and I'm wondering after reading through the posts if i should rewrite my goal. Should I be wanting to provide somewhere in the 100k range of value and then the money will come? It seemed paradoxical to think that way. Since I would only want to be providing value for my own financial gain and maybe not the best benefit for the recipient. I feel that if I wanted to benefit someone/group, I'd give them money and not try to sell them something.

Default It's all about exchange

Keep in mind that, just like several hundreds of years ago, it's still all about exchange. You can't exchange directly with everybody because not everybody offers what you want and not everybody wants what you offer so in both cases you exchange to money as a medium. Thus, it's totally accepted and there's nothing wrong (from the other persons perspective) with doing it only for the money.

However, in the long run, you should remember that true fulfillment comes only from appreciation and contribution and coming from purpose. Steve did a great job explaining this during the years and there's a bunch of material available on the web about this (Harv Eker, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy etc).

Remember: money is an effect, not a cause. Just make sure to take the necessary steps which will eventually result in the money being transferred to your bank account.

Your goals should inspire you and motiviate you to action. If what you really want is more money in the bank, then you certainly shouldn't rewrite your goal.

However, providing real value for others is the easiest and most natural way earn money. Remember that the decision to pay you is made by the costumers. The more genuine value you provide, the easier it will be for them to make the decision you want them to make.

After watching The Secret, I have a question about the Law of Attraction. I don't actually want money itself, just the things I can buy with it. Should I be attracting those things or the money? I'm worried that if I attract the objects and not the money, I'll get to use the objects, but I won't permantely own them.
