you intend to give in return for this money.”

have a purpose for the money that is bigger than your
immediate needs.
If you can list 100 general reasons why money should
come into your hands and 100 specific benefits and
uses that you will have for the wealth, then you have
a higher probability of attracting it into your life.”
