I'd create theories and techniques to strengthen my Mind Trick power. And I'd never show my powers to anyone as long as they live (or at least, long enough for me to kill him/her).
Manipulate every company on the planet into disbanding the stock market. Then study psychology, learn of subliminal messaging, and basically use these techniques into brainwashing the general public into community service and scientific research donations by manipulating all media outlets. Also, outer space will belong to every man and woman. Not the rich, not corporations. Humanity. Period.
As a cover, I'd start a scientific corporation and create a new caste system in which the higher class belongs to those that innovate and drive the human race forward. What was once a back beat of the human race will now be the main chorus, and everyone will wish to join in song. As a last resort, I'll create an interlinked emergency broadcast system that hacks into every monitor and screen in the world, in case I need to make a "global broadcast" (which will most likely be just me "persuading" the world that Jedi and all of their powers are fictional).
If any dictator, business, individual, or organization wishes to impede my progress, I'll simply persuade the public into openly exposing them and their intentions clearly and plainly; that they are obstacles to the growth of the human race. Should my media puppeteering work as I had planned, the public should do all the work for me. Unless it's another Jedi. In that case, I'll use the broadcast system to torture and execute him/her personally for all the world to see. And then wipe their minds of the memory, of course.
