| Yanik Silver: I didn't know that. | | | | where the focus is not totally on how much I'd get. I |

| And it's no different with wealth, because in those | | | | and they thank you, thank you for it. |
| days a penny was a lot of money; a quarter was a lot | | | | You know, how they thank you? Just like I asked |
| of money. And I imagine a lot of us could tell those | | | | Richard Bach once. I said, Richard -- and he and I had |
| stories. But it was a feeling that if I needed to do all the | | | | conversations that were stranger than things we |
| things, if I wanted to do all the things I need to do, there | | | | wrote in our books. I said, Richard, "What is the secret |
| will be an influx of the ways to do it, the money to do | | | | of money, having made so much and lost it all too and |
| it.... | | | | then got it back? |
| Now, many times I found that, yes, I could sit down and | | | | He said, John, the secret of making a lot of money is |
| plan the greatest strategy on earth. And I've done that | | | | this: Give your gift as beautifully as you can to the |

| comes a kind of a -- also, let's say, a burden. I | | | | thought, oh, that's when I asked this great man about, |

| remember thinking, look at all of these beautiful things. | | | | started thinking. "Ah, how do they do that, may I ask?" |
| There's a lot of money, I don't have to worry about | | | | He says, "Well, let me give you an example. We were |
| that. | | | | broke. We had gone through bankruptcy, and we |
| But all through it there was a kind of a sadness. I | | | | were almost starving. But then we put together a |

| there was this sadness. I'd stand by, look at the moon, | | | | there was a little bit added to another little bit |
| look at the sky and say, "John, why aren't you as | | | | someplace. And before you knew it, we were out of |

| and food and so forth. So it's important, but it's a tool. | | | | I think most people could do it by stepping back a little |
| It's a tool. Money is GOD in action, if you will, and it | | | | bit and looking at what they want and creating a |

| Take for example, because of your affluence and | | | | Many years ago after I had lost everything, I met a |
| your abundance -- I have always admired this about | | | | wise old man, a top psychic. And he looked at me and |
| you, but I knew it about you even before you knew | | | | he said, "You know, John, you will make all the money |

| Make-A-Wish Foundation whose -- and a quite a | | | | bucks or 100,000 or a million. You will make all the |
| number of them whose dreams were fulfilled because | | | | money in the world that you want to make when |
