This very idea was revealed to me in my 39th year. Doing Less - Being More and receiving work without trying.
The biggest challenge was the adage: "Work hard and you'll get what you want." I stopped doing that. Instead I put forward a thought to the collective consciousness (or Spirit or God - if that's you're frame) of what I needed and then let go of it.
When I was working on a different project what I needed came to me. Soon afterwards I found correlates in my astrological chart that support this strange work in a receptive arena.
