I want to make money but dont know how

[seirwyn]

Does anyone have any practical advice on how to manifest money?

I mean, I have an idea, I want to sell it to a company and I expect it to work and to make money from it. Is it really this simple? I sound like one of those naiive 'get rich quick' people. Am I guaranteed success just because I have used IM or should I expect some difficulties and setbacks along the way?
I know all the theory about 'visialise it' etc etc, but how do you know what steps to take? How do you know when you are being given inspiration or a sign? I dont want to waste time with the wrong idea-or if you use the LoA is there no such thing as a wrong idea?
I would like to write songs but the reality is that 'very few people make money out of song writing.' But if you use ther LoA can you expect to buck this trend and succeed anyway?
I set an intention to make £2m just to see what happened. A week later I got an idea for a product. Then a week after that I got a leaflet through the door from a local business advice agency. A few days later I got another one even though I dont normally get things from them. I wondered if this was a sign so I called them up but they werent that helpful.
I am just unsure what to be looking out for here and what steps to take. How can I distinguish between a genuine sign and something that I could mistake for a sign? I feel like I am stumbling about in the dark here!

You are never stumbling around in the dark. Your emotions are the most sophisticated piece of guiding technology in the universe.

You will know by how good whatever you are thinking about FEELS to you, whether it is taking you TOWARD your desires or AWAY from them. It really is that simple.

Pay attention to your emotions.

Hi Seirwyn,

One thing I've learned in an area like this is - to be practical as well. Along with the visualizing you can also take time to research this area.

During that researching, allow yourself to filter out scams and wastes of time, until you are left with what you then feel is a genuine opportunity.

For example, you can go to the library and see if there are any up to date books on the subject, and study them.

And then of course, you can also use the internet as well, being careful to look out for the scam artists, (they're out there) until you have found a genuine source, a company that may be interested in your product.

The time taken to research can pay off for you.


For example, I did a quick search, and found something called "The inventor's phone book" which is supposed to be a "list of companies, investors, product scouts, licensing agents, and manufacturers reps for you to submit and sell your invention ideas to!"...

It's at this site: Inventing guide to selling ideas the Free Inventors Phone Book

It's free to download, but I would still recommend looking it over first to see what it's all about, but maybe it's useful!

Hope it helps, take care..

First of all, I am an absolute firm believer of LOA, Intentional Manifestation, directing your thoughts, goal setting, etc. Without it, it will be very difficult to succeed.

I am also somebody that has had *modest* success in business, starting and running a software company with over 4000 customers in 70 countries. Not huge money yet, but something most people would desire.

So my advice is you have to develop business sense, and develop a nose for money. This is, of course, in addition to your visualizations, vision boards, scripting, etc. I would say get a vision, and start small. But start. Try to read your intuition, and take some action. Your first actions may not work, but they will give you some feedback. Look at the feedback, read your intuition, and take some more action. Same thing. Keep repeating. Until your visions start to come true.

I'm in this process now. I've set a goal for a few million dollars, and I've within 'smelling' distance of it. I regularly meet with millionaires, get their thoughts, and adjust my actions accordingly. I'm giving a corporate presentation in front of hundreds of people, including many venture capitalists next week. Way out of my comfort zone, but another action.

So this may be at odds with other's philosophies of doing LOA, and things just appear. I believe that may be possible only, but that is an advanced state of enlightenment, or you need conscious contact with what you want. So my best advice is to combine visualization with inspired action. If you don't take any action, I think nothing will happen. You need to do something. And you can't whine if it doesn't initially bring the results you want. Like I say, results are only feedback. Tags like "failure" are only your opinion, and possible false filter.

Last piece of advice: Do not take large risks. Anybody who want to make money and takes small survivable risks, singles and doubles, not home runs if you get the metaphor.

Thanks for the advice. Thats what Im a little wary of-its easy to steer clear of scams but I also dont want to make the mistake of throwing away loads of money in order to make mony only to find it wasnt the right action to take. Surely the loa isnt all about trial and error? I would have thought that the opportunities would be obvious and would feel good (i.e. not scams) I dont mind putting the work in but if its all an uphill struggle then the Loa doesnt seem to be delivering

LOA is the creation of the goal, and what you want to manifest.

If you want to drive from New York to Boston, you first decide you want to manifest being in Boston. Then you get in your car, and start driving. You don't get in your car and get teletransported there. You drive, you are awake, you are making the turns, etc. There may be an accident in your path, you may encounter a snowstorm, you may get a flat tire, you may take a wrong turn, you need to monitor your gas levels. In each case, you take some action, then you continue towards Boston. Eventually, you arrive in Boston, and you have manifested.

Not a precise analogy, I know. But it does underscore the fact you need to get in your car and start driving.

Same with making money. You visualize what you want, then you do something. Pick up the phone, ask somebody, put out an advertisement. Then, of course, you are going to notice whether that is working.

Like that old chestnut, Edison tried 10,000 materials before he successfully invented the light bulb. Then his wife said "Tom, put out that light and go to bed!"

More:

John, who was in financial difficulty, walked into a church and started to pray. ''Listen God,'' John said. ''I know I haven't been perfect but I really need to win the lottery. I don't have a lot of money. Please help me out.'' He left the church, a week went by, and he hadn't won the lottery, so he walked into a synagogue. ''Come on, God,'' he said. ''I really need this money. My mom needs surgery and I have bills to pay. Please let me win the lottery.'' He left the synagogue, a week went by, and he didn't win the lottery. So, he went to a mosque and started to pray again. ''You're starting to disappoint me, God,'' he said. ''I've prayed and prayed. If you just let me win the lottery, I'll be a better person. I don't have to win the jackpot, just enough to get me out of debt. I'll give some to charity, even. Just let me win the lottery.'' John thought this did it, so he got up and walked outside.
The clouds opened up and a booming voice said, ''John, buy a ****ing lottery ticket.''

Wow this is a whole world of questions to be addressed.. okay question 1

Does anyone have any practical advice on how to manifest money?

Practical seems to be the key to any question.. it's a word I used specifically to ask my teacher a question

I'd say the old paradigm is go with what you know.. if you want practical.. your into music.. I would work on music beliefs and removing the idea of music being not profitable.. I mean the general goal is excitement.. is it exciting to build this product with a company or do music or is there something else you'd rather be doing but don't believe you could be supported doing it?

I would like to write songs but the reality is that 'very few people make money out of song writing.' But if you use ther LoA can you expect to buck this trend and succeed anyway?

This is a belief system issue only.. listen to what you believe 'very few people make money out of song writing.' because you believe this you make it harder on yourself.. You can break the trend as it were.. if you can believe in yourself, your abilities and that you will be supported somehow, some way..

How can I distinguish between a genuine sign and something that I could mistake for a sign? I feel like I am stumbling about in the dark here!

By my opinion/belief there are no coincidences.. therefore what you got was synchronicity's about what you wanted.. these are hints that if you want to travel the path you want it will be there for you.. is already created

I think the hardest thing to determine is if a door has closed for you.. because different teachers say different things in a way about this issue.. but let's state the truth anyway "no such thing as a door closing.. anything you want is a achievable" (maybe one day I'll get that straight in my head )

(what some of us make be looking for is a sign that this path is not for you.. usually no excitement or lack of it.. is a what your higher self thinks about that path)

Alrighty.. your last question(s)

Is it really this simple?

It's as simple as you want it to be.. it's up to you.. you have to understand I'm giving you this in a very (to the best of my ability) non rigid way.. but we have been here for 25,000 years.. we have very rigid beliefs systems that say.. When I manifest ice cream.. it has to come this way.. I have to go and spend money and the guy gives me a scoop.. the truth is we could create ice cream instantly in front of our eye's if our TRUE powers were fully active without limitations and agreements of this reality..

So what's my damn point?

Well my point is that it's only as simple as the belief systems you have.. if you believe that you have to meet the right person to build this company/product and get a pay day.. it's going to be a tougher road.. cause if you think they have to be executive.. drive a fast car and have a expensive office.. that will limit you.. if you allow anyone to help you.. maybe you'll meet a BUM on the street and he will take your idea/product all the way

I sound like one of those naive 'get rich quick' people. Am I guaranteed success just because I have used IM or should I expect some difficulties and setbacks along the way?

Overcoming beliefs/doubts is the only key to full on manifesting.. universe currently works mostly best as "slight of hand" as I say.. because we can manipulate it's structure and right design on our beliefs by having it come at us where we were not expecting it too.. which is why when people manifest it's usually better then they expect and out of left field..

One way to manifest is to know just for certain that something is coming.. but you have to know it.. you have to build a illusion and you have to stay in it.. (as other teachers have described) it is essence like jumping off the crazy cliff.. but there are a 101 ways to whatever it is you want to do..

Hi again, Serwyn,


In my opinion, to get from step A to Step B, I think, we don't aways have to 'wait' to use LOA or for it to take effect.

Sometimes, this can leave us paralyzed, overanalyzing things, constantly waiting for the right moment..

There are people who have ideas, go forward it woth (LOA or not) and get it made and make money.

You can do it too, why not?


In the case of scams, that's where research and caution comes in; if something is asking for a lot of money, be aware and a bit skeptical.



And creativity and practicality during research- I looked up the subject of protecting an invention with little money, and found "Confidentiality Agreement", which is an promise that the company you share the idea with will not use your idea without your permission.

(Note-not official business advice, always research and decide for yourself which course is the proper one to take)

If they do, they are open to being sued by you for damages. A confidentiality agreement is simply a contract that is signed between you and the manufactuer.


Of course, it does not take care of everything, but it's a start.


In the meantime, backing it up with visualizing (this person like my idea and accepts it etc.) or whatever method you like just might give you an extra edge.

LOA is not meant to be a uphill struggle.. if you feel your going uphill.. turn your back and go down.. LOA is designed to let you flow.. anytime anything feels uphill it means you're in resistance.. it means you're taking the HARDER path, when a much easier one can be provided

(sorry I have to refresh)

The truth is you may have very rigid belief systems about the career your in.. perhaps you will allow yourself a open book by taking a different career.. you should follow your excitement "always" as it may look like it's leading you away but it will lead you back again..
