Goddess Lakshmi is supposed as the Goddess of Wealth in our scriptures.
You are feeling me quite confused my dear friend!
Do not get confused between Lord Kubera and Goddess Lakshmi.
Both are related to wealth and both are completely different.
Lord Kubera is just like a manager whereas She is the deity of the wealth.
Who got their dreams fulfilled?
There are many examples in our scriptures where people who worship Goddess Lakshmi got every wish of theirs fulfilled.
Although Goddess is not very easy to please but once you please her, she makes all your dreams come true.
Invite her-
Before starting the practice, invite the Lakshmi Devi by reciting this Mantra-
ambe ambike ambalike namanayati kaschan
sa satsya kaschakah subhadrikaam kampiilvasinim
hemadri tanayam devim vardaam Shankar priy
lambodarasya jannim gauriim aawahayamyaham
I pay my respect to the Goddess Lakshmi who is known as Ambika and Ambalika. I invite the Goddess Gauri who is the mother of Lord Ganesha, who pleases Lord Shiva and whose body is just like snow.

twam vai prasanna bhuvi mukti hetu
O Mother Lakshmi you are the vaishnawi shakti having infinite power. You are the seed of the world’s origin and you are the maya (illusion) who is distracting people. Everybody is pleased with you. Please be happy and give me blessings.
The things you should keep in mind while chanting
The things you should keep in mind while chanting Lakshmi Mantra
Avoid using a Black color as much as possible.
Prefer yellow clothes. Wearing yellow clothes at the time of practice is going to benefit you a lot.
Mother Lakshmi likes Lotus very much, so it is good if you manage to offer some lotus flowers while worshiping Goddess Lakshmi.
While dressing the murti (idol) prefer Red or yellow color clothes.
Do not forget to worship Lord Ganesha before starting the practice.
Offer rice after coloring it yellow. Do not use any chemicals for this purpose. You can do so by using turmeric.
I hope that this practice will open the doors of many new successes for you my friends!
All the very best for your spiritual journey
