See the book:
  _The Seven Laws of Money_ -- Michael Phillips
  http://seeingmoney.org/SevenLaws.htm
Example:

"THE FIRST LAW-- DO IT!
Money will come when you are doing the right thing. Focus on the passion 
rather than the money. Worry about your ability to do it and your 
competence to do it, but certainly do not worry about the money. There 
will always be obstacles. It is the energy generated by the commitment 
to an idea that propels a project toward success. Do not integrate your 
own need to make a living with the needs of a project. "
