Don't forget to ask "How can I contribute more value?" - this will solve the money question.

You're exactly right. I suppose "How can I make money?" is self centered. Another way to sabatoge the law of attraction.

Default Intrinsic value?

Steve mentioned that one way to increase your income is to share your intrinsic value (i.e., what is special about you/inside you) with the world, thereby possibly creating social value that can be rewarded with/exchanged for money (if I understand correctly). So now I'm wondering how people can tap into their intrinsic value. I imagine some people just "know" what that is. But some people might not be so sure what that is, how to find it in themselves, which route to take if there is more than one thing to share, etc.

For instance, in college, I obtained special knowledge in a subfield of education (and afterward, got experience) that is valuable and that I am skilled enough to share...but lately, people have noticed (and commented on) a special quality about me as a person which I think could also be of some value in helping others get through difficult situations, though I wasn't even aware of this in myself...but it's something that developed as I went through difficult situations myself..I didn't learn it in college.

So my questions are: How do people know which of their intrinsic values they should focus on sharing with the world? And how can people tap into other intrinsic values they may not even be aware they have? Has Steve written any articles on this? (I searched but couldn't find any like that, though his article on finding your life purpose is on the right track.) Is there a step-by-step process to guide us in the study and releasing of our intrinsic value to the world?

When I read about the realtor who carried $50,000 in cash for her own personal expenses my immediate thought was, "She's just asking to get robbed! Imagine getting robbed... $50,000 GONE! How horrible!"

I remember once withdrawing $300 from my bank account. It's the most amount of cash I've ever carried in my life. I honestly felt scared carrying it in my purse. I felt it was like a magnet for pick-pockets, thieves, getting mugged. I scurried home as fast as possible whilst keeping my eye on anyone who looked remotely suspicious. I made it home, the money intact.

Three hundred dollars gone! That was my rent. How horrible. I guess that's why my purse is always empty. Money's always locked up with me, I fear the idea of being cheated/stolen of my money.

I'm pretty sure that "cash" in this context meant money in the bank, in checking and savings accounts, that is, cash and cash equivalents. At least that's the way the term "cash" was used in my accounting classes.

I once had to carry $14,000 in cash (actual paper money) to the bank, and it was nerve-wracking. But, the experience made it easier for me to carry a few hundred dollars at a time, which actually saves me money since I'm not stopping off at the ATMs any more. Those fees add up, especially when you're taking out $20 at a time.

Yes, that's correct.
