Truth is you make nothing from nothing.It is just a manner of speaking.
When it is said that you make someting from nothing, it means that you used the creative forces within you to add value to this world.That value may be spiritual or phisical but is so real that people acknowledge you for it and reward you either with money or with fame.
Another sense in which this expression is applied is in terms of the distance between where you started from and where you reach.You can start from being a nobody and achieve fame and /or wealth.
Fortunastely, the only something you need to make something has been implanted in ALL of us by God.

Sorry about my late response.I use cybercafe access.
Now, you must make a differentiation between knowledge and wisdom although they are related.One can be knowledgeable without being wise.
So, when one has knowledge but does not make it, he surely has not yet located the wisdom point.Moving from knowledge to wisdom occurs at that point which I am told nuclear physicists call the critical mass and in social analysis is called the quality jump.
There is also the issue of the direction towards which your knowledge has been channeled.In George Clason's book, the chariot maker is undeniably the best in the country and his friend the flutist unrivaled, yet they did not make it.When their old friend and colleague,Arkad was requested for his comment, he had this to say "if you have not become rich it is because you either have not learnt the laws of making money or have so far failed to apply them"(sorry, I am paraphrasing because I do not have the book here with me).See! they were good at what they applied themselves to, but never had they applied themselves to mastering money.
Being a good worker and being a money maker are not necessarily the same thing.The Bible does suggest this in asserting that the race is not to the swift.
Working hard and working smart are not the same thing.
Then there is the issue of the laws of attraction and the issue of threshhold.Did you know that quite a lot of good workers do stop shy of being rich.I willnot tell you lies, I at a time in my life did associate financial success with evil.I taught only of being "comfortable" whatever that meant and I know there are quite a lot of religious persons who still are of that positioning , misinterpreting the saying that "the love of money is the root of all evil"
Talking about threshhold, do you know that sometimes after a very beautiful work we do stop short of winning!Read "Think and Grow Rich "for a meaning of thresh hold and "Rich Dad Poor Dad"'s anecdote on the difference between best-writing author and best-selling author and you will understand what I mean.
Well, I must leave now.See you.

I joined myLot earlier today and it seems a brilliant resource which I had known about before. I have a very similar discussion going on today as well about making money without money.
If you check my profile, you will see that I am a wealth creation coach based in The Philippines where there are a huge amount of low income earners.
as a coach I have to help my students some who are very low paid create the opportunity to make money from nothing.
There are a lot of talented people in this world, with heads full of knowledge who have nothing or are considered very poor. The reason for this is that they simply do not know how to channel their knowledge or skill (which everyone has) into something that will allow them to make money or they do not have the opportunity to do so.
How you think dictates the outcome. History has millions of examples of poor people who have become famous simply because they refuse to accept what they have and they will do what it takes to become successful.
It is very possible to make money from nothing. I see my students do it all the time.
