Spiritual people making money

What are your views...
I just had an interesting conversation with a guy...
We were talking about "spiritual people" and their "aversion" to making money.
It seems many people - holistic therapists can up in the conversation - often enjoy what they do they feel a sense of guilt about charging for it. It's like saying, "I shouldn't make money from something I enjoy, but it's okay to make a tonne of money doing something I hate!"
Another theme we explored on the subject was: do "spiritual people" say they "ain't doing it for the money", for a reason. Perhaps the reason is that their ego knows they're not making money and this makes it sounds okay.
So, I'm asking:
1. What if we made it okay to make a tonne of money - in fact what if the universe paid us more money the more we enjoyed doing our work?
2. What if we accepted the challenge: that if we can make more money, we can effect change more readily - partly because we don't have to worry about our bills, but partly because we can fund the change?
3. What if we could admit, "Okay I'm kidding myself about the money. I'd love enough to pay the bills, but I don't know squat about marketing my business? maybe I need to l earn or get help."
I'd value your views on this because I want to see change in our country and I believe that holistic-spiritual people can make that happen... together, if we can move beyond our money issues and make things happen. www.communitysoul.co.uk
