Spirituality, Wealth and the Freedom to Choose
Before you go any further let me boil it down to the bare bones for you:
I know you’ve been told and may have even come to believe that that becoming wealthy is all about luck and connections.
That’s just not the whole truth! As someone famous once said;
Luck is where opportunity and preparation collide.
Yes, becoming wealthy does have a connections component; have you noticed that successful people like to hang out with other successful people? It makes sense that if you were making tons of dough, would you want to hang out with a bunch of people whining about how there’s not enough? No!
The secret to creating lasting success and wealth is all about you finding and recognizing something I will refer to as your “Unique Value Set.”
Your Unique Value Set is the part of you that is worth way more than any X number of dollars an hour.
It’s the part of you that when you discover it will allow you to see opportunities that you would have previously been completely blind to. It’s the part of you that is already super qualified and doesn’t need another degree or certification in order to tap into an abundant flow of cash when you need it.
I know that you may have many false ideas and myths about money, wealth, and your access to it. Clearly, in today’s economic climate, it is of vast importance for you to discover keys and unlock the potential within you that you may never have known were there. Fairly obviously, the focus of this article is about money/wealth/abundance, how it works, and how you can have more of it.
Maybe you already have a very nice flow of wealth and general abundance…that’s great! However, let me ask you as much as anyone else…what would your life be like at the next level? I mean let’s face it, at some point in time, no matter how much money you are earning, there’s a point when you realize that you are living in a comfort zone that may well have become a gilded cage, and you know you want to explore and experience life at the next level.
Complacency is the prison where those who worship the god of “it’s not that bad” live.
I know that many will tell you that money and wealth are not spiritual… I genuinely believe you can be wealthy and spiritual but there again you can be poor and spiritual. It’s simply a matter of which “Wealth Station” you are tuned into, what you are resonating to attract and repel. However, owning your power to choose to have either is not the same as settling for financial struggle because it’s some kind of a ‘good spiritual’ excuse for not getting off your butt and taking action.
By the way, if you think poor people are more spiritual, let me fill you in: I grew up in a ghetto where poverty was rife, and although there were some wonderful, loving, and even the occasional spiritual people around, the people who we might judge as being less than spiritual were definitely more in the majority.
Let me share with you:
It’s a lot harder to be connected to spirit when you’re running from the rent man.
Money is not evil. Money is neutral. Money is not pure good. Money is nothing without ‘us’ using it for whatever outcome we decide upon.
Nevertheless, isn’t it time you had enough of it in order to do what you need to do?
Let me ask you: Just as an example, how would your life be different if you had an extra $750 a month? What would that mean to your lifestyle? What would that mean to your family and the people you love? How would you feel about yourself with an extra $20,000 in your bank account? Now you may be reading this and you’re presently making $200,000 +, and $20,000 doesn’t seem too big to you.
Just stop for a moment and and ask yourself, what would your life be like with an extra 40% added to your annual income?
Oh, one more thing; if you’re feeling guilty or unspiritual for even thinking such thoughts, you might want to check your Bible and read about King Solomon, the richest king who ever lived. According to the Old Testament, God seemed to like him well enough.
Not owning our power to create and be in the abundant flow of funds because of some false spiritual pretense is a great way to abdicate personal responsibility. (But it’s still B.S)
Those who decide to step up and own their power, see personal and even collective responsibility as a spiritual act that allows them the freedom to become more of who they truly are. Any fool can be doubting and skeptical, only the courageous do what it takes in the face of what “they” say they shouldn’t.
Do you have what it takes to step up, own your power, and create the kind of wealth that sets an example of what success and wealth building is all about?
I look forward to reading your comments and feedback
Until next time live with the courage to claim your Unique Value Set and the abundance that goes with it.
With gratitude, Dõv…

“Leadership is about building fierce loyalty. Leadership is about courage. Leadership is about the willingness to make tough decisions. That’s what Full Monty Leadership is about and that’s what Dov Baron teaches. Dov knows his stuff and delivers it like a star!”
“Looking through the bookstore shelves and listening to all of the business gurus out there, we read and hear about a lot of trends in leadership. The only problem is that true leadership doesn’t follow trends.
Interesting- on more than one occasion I’ve started writing you a question but before the end of the letter the questions that need to get asked and the answers, even if they are quite painful, are revealed. This comment began as one of those times.
Thank you for being you and for all you have done to help me grow and make the most of my life.
Thank you Karen,
I’m delighted to have my psychic undies on and be able to pick up on exactly what you need.
That’s resonance!
With gratitude, Dov…
I think that money is (a kind of) power. And so we need to be very clear in what we do with it and what we want. There can be all kinds of requirements and temptations that simply having it brings. So, neutral, maybe. But the way our culture is there seem to be many dangers with it (I guess that is the same with any powerful thing).
There is a price tag attached to all the “monetary wisdom” being offered. I will agree that the expenses have to be met and all the experts paid. I am left wondering about the system that will emerge from the present recession and hesitate. Like the rest of the sheep I am wary of all the “false prophets” after the savings of those seeking a lasting and definite solution to their problems. Yes, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step”, but we like to have some rough map to show the way ahead. Perhaps there is no map and we have to rely on intuition to prevent disasters. It could be that like the statement in the Bhagavad Gita, there are many pathways up the mountain, and we have to find ours. Is the “League of Power” with its “oath of confidentiality” the way to freedom? They appear to be against the system that has kept the “status quo” for so many years, or at least revealing the plans that the “rich” have used. “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men”?
George,
In response, “Who Knows what love lurks in the hearts of men?”
What follows is not a comment specifically for you. Unless you decide to take it as such.
Always remember: It takes no courage, no balls to be a critic & a skeptic, being a doubter is easy. Only the courageous are willing to believe and to keep believing in order to get to where they want to go. Only the brave are willing to take another step forward in the dark even if all they carry is their inner light. However, one thing is certain; once the courageous ones are there, the skeptic will tell you that they either ‘already knew that’, or they were always cheering you on. Words are cheap in an armchair. While Action is the currency of the brave!
Neither a fool nor a doubter can see a gift laid before them.
With gratitude, Dov…
Hello Dov,
A wonderful topic. Spirituality stops a lot of folks dead in their tracks. My field of spirituality is Buddhism and karma is a subject that is often brought up in the discussions of success, failure or one’s lot in life. Most of what people think of karma is simply deja moo, more of the same b.s. found in the collective thought that one is at the mercy of the fates or destiny, some preordainded outcome.
With the upmost emphasis karma is not curses or blessings lurking around in amongst the ethereal spirts waiting to pounce upon us. Karma literally means “Action” and nothing more.
Thank you for your karma (Action) teachings Dov they are right on.
The world is what we think it is.
Buddha
Many Blessings,
Lama Jimpa
As always Jimpa,
What you offer is of great value in that it never fails to expand the subject at hand. I fully agree with you regarding “Karma.” As you said the word means nothing more than action. Sadly many religious people miss their own faiths spiritual teachings. Hinduism is most know for speaking of “Karma” while it is within some of their most spiritual material “The Vedas” that it states that Karma is “Action”, and yet many within that faith act as if they are victims of Karma.
May I again suggest to all my readers: Action is the currency of the brave!
I sign off each post saying “live with courage” because without that courage there would be no action only re-action and distraction.
With gratitude, Dov…

“Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of men?”
The Shadow Knows!
And he has a Map! Which we will share with you at Quantum Wealth Mastery.
I like to hike. I believe that life is like a hike. When you are walking along the path, it’s usually pretty pleasant. You look at the views, the plants, chat with the people with you. You know where you are going and the sun is shining.
Now when you decide (or Your Ego-Mind) decides you/it know a better path and you head off the path you are on, things change. Normally, your clothes get caught on the thorns of the blackberry bushes. You trip over roots. It’s hard to see where you are going.
Guess what?
This is the time to decide if you are on ‘Your Path’ or struggling with the blackberry bushes. If you are struggling then get back on your path.
I have been off my path more than a few times. Being on it is much better!
We’ll show you how @ QWM. That’s a promise, Randolph.

Hello Dov,
You are correct there are many people who falsely believe they have karm as if it were a possesion. The truth of karma is that we perform karma. The lack of money or having great wealth is not karma. The act of making money is karma.
Many Blessings,
Lama Jimpa
Jimpa, Once again…Well said!
Hi Dov,
Yes, I feel I have been running away from fulfilling my life’s purpose and finding my true passion. Part of that is discovering my true value set and where I can be of most value to the marketplace. I have been pretty busy lately getting multiple graduate degrees but getting no where in my career so it is time for a new beginning. I look forward to your coaching to help me discover my authentic self and to find my unique value set.
Thanks,
Bik
Hey Bikas,
Thank you so much for sharing your story. As you may know I have a book out called: “Don’t Read This…your ego won’t like it!” and in there I talk about the importance of building the six foundations of life and that one of them is the financial foundation. This is a foundation we cannot ignore. In the book I’m just finishing writing called: “Don’t Read This… if you like being broke!” I point out how so many people are in a similar place to you in that they bought into the idea that, greater levels of accademia with gaurentee your place among the rich and affluent, and sadly that dream is fading with an ever increasing speed.
Again I thank you for sharing that.
With gratitude, Dov…
P.S. In fact, if you want to give me a few more details I’ll see if we can find a place for your story in the new book if you like?
Dov,
thanks for this post. Opening my eyes to the possibilities is so important when the world seems to be caving in around me. I know that when the rocks stop falling there will be a new vista which contains new opportunities.
Personally, I need to control my emotional reactions and stay focused on what I am working on.
I enjoy what you say because it strikes a chord inside that tells me there is much here for me to learn.
Thank you.
Barney
Hi Dov, I feel that being spiritual is really just believing in what it is which controls your life.being spiritual is more than religeon. it is accepting that there is a power out there which is watching over everything. nature, animals fishes flowers and people. this spiritual power is in control of the thoughts we put out and ensures we attract like thoughts back. if we delve deep into Quantum physics the mind can boggle at the possibilities of discovering that we are all connected. if this quantum holygram is beleived by those who choose to believe it can open all kinds of doors. however it is so easy to slip back into the comfort of our ego minds that many of us find us doing just that. Money is just a bartering piece of paper in which to exchange for what it is we want. however most of the good things in life are free if we only care to look for them. I know I still have heaps to learn and put into practice, because now I believe I can I need to do it. That’s the big challenge for me. What sacrifices will I make in order to live my dream. What and who will I let go of? what changes must be put into place in order to achieve finacial and spiritual freedom? Questions I need help with. mmmmm
Hi Dov
Its Me Kevin how are you doing?
Money it not not the problem it what you do with it
Like you said in your first CD THE EQUATION For MANIFESTATION (home Study) Cd That Your old Friends Had that that little voice in their head ITS NOT THAT BAD. Dov Just like in my neighborhood their dreams is winning the lottery betting on the horses or selling drugs Or you been born with a sliver spoon in you mouth jazz Their Egos has lowered their ceilings from keep their dreams from coming true Dov I had read a man From Ohio win the power ball lottery $190 million dollars YEA YEA But Dov he lost it all in one year why he had a ghetto mind ego not a cent he got But for me me had $190 million it was all taken from me I can get all back and then some because of the EFM audio tech and My ego has become the Navitgator
NOT the driver
With Gratitude
Kevin
About the money. I totally get it that money is not the problem and it is in fact what you do with it. The trick to money is this: If you really really need it, if you must have it and come from a place of desperation, then it will evade you! Those who know how to attract it, keep gettin’ more of it! As well, a lot of our underlying beliefs about money does stem from our fundamental religions. ” It’s not holy to have money” – or something to that effect.
Fact is, getting to a place where you attract money affords you the opportunity to help others do same.
I love your post. You are straight to the point. No muckin’ about! Love your work Dov.
love and gratitude
Nancy
Hi Dov,
Your post and the post of Nancy and the others all resonate with me. From times past to now, I have been on the path and off and on. I go gung ho and then relax. Right now I am gung ho to be who I am to be. I help others. I look for ways to do this and make my living. Your work is of great benefit to see and hear. Thank you.
I work with people who transform the lives of others yet give themselves away develop clarity about and an unshakable belief in what they do, are here to do, and then develop a lifestyle which truly fits them.
A certified coach and a trained “life purpose coach”, I help people find & develop their “purpose” at a level which works for them and their lives. At times it is difficult since they often feel like they should not really charge or charge much for doing something they are so good at and do as easily as breathing; they just can’t believe they could or should get paid for this! So they are caught in uncertainty and sometimes pain, trying to climb out of a financial hole, or attain more prosperity while they get clarity on their purpose and move into action. Often, they work against themselves.
Speaking for myself, it is tough & rewarding work. The benefits of stepping into your purpose impact all areas of your life: physical & emotional health, relationships, career, finances, family, etc. For those who get clear about who they are here to serve and what they are here to do and who walk & live their purpose daily, without doubt or fear, life is an incredible joy and adventure. My perspective? Go for it guys, the pros far outweigh the cons!
Hi Stacy,
You bring up a very good point. It was something I talked extensively about at Quantum Wealth Mastery We are trained to undervalue that which is our gifts and to only get paid to do “work” that we don’t enjoy. The fact is that what people are paying fr is the energy and value of that energy that we bring.
Again: Those who only see price will never know value, and those who do not know value will always financially struggle” ~Dov Baron
Keep up the great work Stacy.
With gratitude, Dov…
I just want to say that I absolutely love the way you put things into context… no holds barred, but still with an air of grace and eloquence.
You never fail to make your point; yet, no one can argue that your straightforwardness is worded in such a way, so as not to offend… but to get your audience to “wake up!!!”
Great stuff! I love it!!!
Hey Jennifer,
Thanks for your feedback. I’m glad that you see my intention is never to offend, even though I’m aware that sometimes happens. It is always my intention to assist those who need a nudge to get one so that they can sail of the end of their old world to the new horizons that await them. I believe we all need assistance, we all need a nudge every now and then, (including me) in order to fly a little higher.
I particularly believe this is true when it comes to owning our “unique value set”, because too often it is not the thing we have made money at, and so we tend to dismiss it. I always want you (and me) to step into our gifts. One way to think of this is how many of us would have been robbed of the beauty of Susan Boyle’s voice (Britain’s got talent) if she’d have stayed comfortable hiding. It was because she stepped into the power of her “unique Value Set” and that people went out and told other people about her that she went from a voice hiding to a voice that brought tears of joy to so many.
Keep stepping out, keep spreading the word.
With gratitude, Dov…
Hey Dov.
A question. What is sprituality in your context? I’ve been “dipping my toes” in this for an while now and really don’t have an answere that I feel comfortable with for this simple of an subject.
For 19+ years was feed an bunch of vodoo backwood Baptist “you need to feel guilty for breathing” bs because your worthlessness killed Jesus and your horrible no matter what you do. An famous qoute from one preacher was “we are all filthy rags in God’s sight” then he would go into an tyraid about the Greek word for filthy rags actually ment used toilet papper.
I feel bad because now I’m an grown man been somewhat successful and am intellegent but still hung up on this. I have so much hate in my life now and I know that’s not the way life was meant to be, that God is not some old man sitting in the clouds blessing some and throwing ligtning bolts at other yet there is still all of this inner conflict and self and external hatred of everyone except the very few people I respect. Any fedback would be great, John.
Hey John,
I totally understand where you are coming form, so often we confuse spirituality with religion.
The sad thing is that if we have had an experience or experiences where we have been put off by someones particular brand of of how they interpreted a particular religious teaching, this can sour us in the pursuit of our own spiritual path. My truth, (not the truth) has nothing to do with god being a long bearded white guy in the sky like take joy it torturing the fumbling idiot he created…that just doesn’t make sense to me.
What I would ask you to consider is that ma created god in his image rather than the other way around. We have made God as mean, ill tempered, vindictive as we can be.
While if we were created in God image, rather than the other way around, maybe the image we are made in is that of a loving creative being and that at our roots that is what we are, creative, loving beings.
With gratitude, Dov…
My religion is Islam,we all have our OWN GOD,the concept of God is every one imagination,the only difference in our perception.we are all oneness.connecting directly or indirectly with each other.
Almost all living things having lots of common factor but Oxygen is the main.
There is only one God with oneness.
