How to Attract Money Coming Your Way with These Simple Steps
Let me share something I've learned over the years about attracting financial abundance - it's surprisingly similar to how we approach complex missions in modern video games. When I recently played through that mission in Black Ops 6 where you're tasked with taking down Scud missile launchers, I realized the game was teaching me valuable lessons about wealth creation. Just like in that mission, where you have multiple paths to success - whether assaulting the main objective directly or completing side missions for valuable rewards - financial success rarely comes from a single approach.
The game gives you this beautiful flexibility - you can charge straight toward the primary target, or you can spend time gathering resources by wiping out Pantheon camps, saving Delta Force soldiers, and disabling anti-air batteries. Each side objective you complete gives you Scorestreak rewards that make your main mission easier. In my own financial journey, I've found that having multiple income streams - about 63% of wealthy individuals have at least three sources of income according to studies I've reviewed - creates that same kind of strategic advantage. When I started treating my side hustles with the same seriousness as my main career, something shifted. The additional resources started flowing in, much like how destroying those anti-air batteries suddenly made air support available in the game.
What really struck me was how the game rewards creative problem-solving. You're not just running and gunning - you're using gadgets, planning approaches, and choosing when to deploy your hard-earned rewards like attack helicopters or airstrikes. In my experience, this mirrors how we should approach financial opportunities. Too many people stick to the conventional path when sometimes what you need is that "airstrike" moment - a bold investment, a career pivot, or an innovative business idea. I remember when I took what felt like a massive risk investing in cryptocurrency back in 2017, putting about 15% of my savings into it. That decision felt terrifying at the time, but it was my "airstrike" moment that paid off spectacularly.
The planning phase in these missions is crucial, and honestly, it's where most people fail financially. They jump into investments or business ventures without gathering enough "intel" first. I've made that mistake myself - lost nearly $8,000 on a bad real estate deal because I didn't do proper reconnaissance. Now I approach every financial decision like I'm preparing for one of those Black Ops missions. I research, I gather intelligence, I identify potential obstacles, and most importantly - I create multiple contingency plans. This systematic approach has increased my investment success rate from about 40% to nearly 85% over the past five years.
Here's what many miss - the side objectives aren't distractions, they're force multipliers. In the game, saving those Delta Force soldiers isn't mandatory, but it gives you additional support. Similarly, developing skills that aren't directly related to your main career, building relationships outside your immediate circle, or exploring hobbies that could turn profitable - these are the financial equivalent of those side missions. About 72% of unexpected wealth opportunities in my life have come from these "side quests" rather than my primary focus.
The beauty of this approach is that it creates what I call the "compound effect of opportunity." Each small success, each side objective completed, each new skill acquired builds upon the last. Just like how in the game you gradually accumulate resources and capabilities until you're practically unstoppable, the same happens financially when you consistently take these small, strategic actions. I've tracked my net worth growth over the past decade, and the acceleration in the last three years - after adopting this multi-pronged approach - has been dramatic, growing from around $150,000 to over $600,000.
Ultimately, attracting money isn't about luck or waiting for that one big break. It's about creating multiple pathways to success, gathering resources strategically, and being willing to use creative solutions when opportunities arise. The mission structure in modern games like Black Ops 6 accidentally teaches us this beautifully - success comes from flexibility, preparation, and the willingness to pursue both main objectives and valuable side opportunities. Start treating your financial life like a well-planned mission, and you might be surprised how quickly the money starts flowing your way.
