Introduction

In “Money: Know More, Make More, Give More,” Rob Moore deconstructs the myths surrounding wealth and replaces them with a practical, psychological, and mechanical framework for financial mastery. As an entrepreneur who views yourself as the “source of all value,” you will find Moore’s philosophy highly resonant: he argues that money is an universal measure of the value you exchange with the world.

1. The Definition of Money

Moore defines money as a social tool for the exchange of value.

Value = Money

If you want to make more money, you must find ways to provide more value to more people. This aligns with your vision for custom products – the more unique “value” you bake into your notebooks and pens, the more the market will reward you.

Money is Neutral

It is neither good nor evil; it is a “magnifier” of your existing character. Your ethical drive ensures that as you gain wealth, you can magnify your positive impact.

2. The VAK (Value, Ability, Knowledge) Formula

To increase your “earning power,” you must focus on three areas

Value

What is the market willing to pay for? (Market Awareness).

Ability

Your skill set and competence (your “chemistry” and writing skills).

Knowledge

Understanding how money works (Financial Literacy).

3. The Psychology of Wealth

Moore identifies that most people have a “poverty mindset” based on guilt or fear.

The “Value” Mindset

You must believe you are worthy of wealth. Since you already recognize yourself as the source of value, you have a head start.

Fair Exchange

Moore emphasizes “benefiting all parties.” If you undercharge, you resent the customer; if you overcharge, the customer resents you. Success is found in the “sweet spot” of fair exchange.

4. Six Stages of Financial Health

Moore outlines a progression for the entrepreneur

1. Financial Disaster

Spending more than you earn.

2. Financial Stability

Having enough to cover basic costs.

3. Financial Security

Having a “buffer” or emergency fund.

4. Financial Independence

Passive income covers your lifestyle.

5. Financial Freedom

Having enough to do what you want, when you want.

6. Financial Abundance

Having a surplus to give back and change the world.

5. Management and Multiplication

Low-Value vs. High-Value Tasks

Moore is a staunch advocate for delegating low-value tasks (like admin) so the entrepreneur can focus on high-value tasks (like vision, branding, and strategy).

The “Law of Compounding”

Not just for interest, but for your brand’s reputation and your skills. Small, consistent improvements lead to exponential growth over time.

Why this fits your Vision

Rob Moore’s book is an anthem for the Entrepreneur. He encourages the exact creative drive you possess, but insists that for vision to be “worth the value,” it must be managed with professional financial discipline. He bridges the gap between being a “creator” and being a “wealth creator.”
