We do not make money
Money is created by the Reserve Bank
And then it is circulated
What money does is it comes to you and it goes
And it doesn’t just come to you
You have to take it
And that also means to take money
It must come from someone else
And like anything
If you want something from someone
You have to ask the right person in the right way
So the first principle of money is to ask
So now you tell me
Are you asking enough times?
You must ask.
And ask in form of stories.
And the stories need story dispensers.
Story dispenser in the form of a network, a direct outreach, a platform
(Read more about stories in my previous article)
Does your ask have any value that the one being asked will get?
If you want money, you must master the “Ask.”
A great ask is built on two pillars:
- Stories
- Story Dispensers
Yes, your ask will often include some form of offer
A product, a service, or perhaps refraining from an action.
But this offer is secondary.
The Ask itself is primary.
To grasp this fully, think carefully about how you spend money:
- Your child asking for allowance.
- A shopkeeper asking you to pay for goods.
- The government asking for taxes.
Each transaction is fundamentally an ask
A request wrapped in communication.
Money primarily flows because of effective communication, backed by necessary actions.
So if you’re aiming to attract money:
Build powerful stories.
Build effective story dispensers.
Do this with diligence, skill, and intention.
Once your system—your storytelling network—is strong enough,
Money flows naturally.
Remarkably, even if the system wasn’t initially intended to generate revenue,
Money still appears if:
A few small levers are pulled.
Because at the heart of money is simply the quality of your ask:
i.e Your stories, and the channels through which you tell them.
Your Relationship with Money is Your Relationship with Asking
You don’t have a money problem.
You have an Ask problem.
- Not asking enough
- Not asking enough times
- Not asking clearly
- Asking without leverage.
So stop thinking how to make money.
Start thinking:
- Who can I tell a story to?
- What story would they act on?
- Where will they hear it from me?
The essence of earning money is mastering the psychology of asking.
Every transaction, from the smallest tip to the largest investment, is the result of a successful ask.
Great asks are strategic:
- They recognize the listener’s desires, fears, and ambitions.
- They position you as the trusted source of their solution.
- They are carefully delivered through effective story dispensers: your network, direct outreach, media platforms, or trusted communities.
Ask better, not louder.
Money is the result of a story well told, to the right ear, at precisely the right moment.
So your primary job isn’t chasing money
It’s crafting and placing compelling stories.
- Build powerful stories—stories that amplify the listener’s identity, solve their pain, or enhance their status.
- Develop effective story dispensers—channels that ensure your narrative reaches precisely who needs to hear it.
You, as a human, can do almost anything.
With AI, you can do it easier, quicker, and cheaper.
The real constraint is no longer your ability to execute.
Execution is abundant, affordable, and accessible.
Therefore, thinking, “Let me build something first, then find customers later,” is placing the cart before the bullock.
Instead, start with your best story.
Then find an audience who deeply resonates with it.
Or
Get an audience and get a story for them
Only afterward should you back it up with actions.
Today, the sequence has shifted:
- Build up Story/Audience
- Support your narrative with aligned actions.
Stories and audience come first
Because actions are no longer the bottleneck
They’re just the follow-through.
Also you have to accept that rejection is Data
Not every ask will land.
- Sometimes the story doesn’t hit.
- Sometimes the dispenser fails to deliver.
- Sometimes it’s just the wrong time.
But rejection isn’t failure—it’s information.
If your ask doesn’t convert, don’t retreat.
Refine.
- Sharpen your story.
- Rethink your dispenser.
- Test your timing.
Every no is just feedback on your current setup.
Every silence is a signal that something’s off—or not strong enough yet.
Money is not magic.
It’s iteration.
The ones who win aren’t always the loudest or most talented.
They’re the ones who adjust their ask until it works.
So go again.
Test new stories.
Try different dispensers.
Change the angle.
Adapt the frame.
Because once it clicks
Once the story, the audience, and the action align
The money flows.
And it doesn’t just flow once.
It flows Predictably. Repeatedly. Automatically.
That’s not luck.
That’s design.
“The door opens for the one who knocks”
Money flows for the one who asks.
Even genie cant grant a wish you didn’t ask for
