There is the saying, "you are getting the cart before the horse," meaning we are doing things backwards. We may get the cart before the horse because we think what we really want is in that cart, but we forget that the horse is the driving force, the fuel, the real focus, and what is in the cart naturally arrives because of the driving force of the horse. When we put the cart before the horse we have no driving force and it ends up being very hard work getting anywhere.
So, it's not money that is suppose to be the horse (driving force), that's what is in the cart and will naturally come with the horse. The horse is us being passionate about and enjoying what we are doing.
