I find that it's a three step process: 1. Come up with a 'real' (i.e. important/meaningful) life goal/purpose 2. Calculate how much money you will need to live that life ... this is Your Number 3. Share Your Number - don't be shy ... sharing is a great way to make mutually beneficial connections! http://www.shareyournumber.com/ I used EXACTLY this method to go from $30k in debt to $7 Mill. in the bank in just 7 years, so I know it works ... well, at least it did for me :) Goal =>Wealth!

What helped me turn my thoughts around years ago was the great book Think and Grow Rich. The ebook you featured in a post in mid-December has proven to be an excellent resource (and a bargain) has helped me further refine the process as I worked on my goals for 2009. Thanks!

There's lots of advice out there about how to make money, but all of them seem to focus on this singular goal as the end point. You are correct when you say you should be looking at money as a nothing more than a tool in your toolbox. It's pretty easy after that to determine if you are spending all your time "working hard" instead of working towards your goals.
