Let me tell you a little story that you may have heard before - in part.

It’s the famous Tommy Edison story. You know the first part of the drill. Tommy was trying real,
real hard to invent the light bulb. And he was tracking his experiments.

10,000 of them.

He persisted. He kept trying. 10,000 times. And still - no light bulb.

Then he stopped working hard. Instead of using and relying upon his conscious mind to come up
with the winning solution - he put his goal into another realm.

And he got an answer.

The answer, as it turns out, helped him to create the light bulb.

10,000 experiments using his conscious mind - and nothing but knowledge on what doesn’t
work.

ONE TIME inside his mental movie theatre - and he’s got the answer.

Do you think this story has anything to do with business, with sports, with writing, with speaking in
public, with performing, with art - or with discovering timeless wisdom.

Of course it does.

And getting yourself into a life in which your average workday is 4-hours long - has much to do with this story.

Now, just so you know, there are days in which I only work for 15 or 20 minutes. I crank out a couple emails, hit send, then I have the rest of the day to spend with family, as well as reading, working out, practicing martial arts - or whatever else I am interested in.

When I’m cranking a new book - I may put in a full four hours. At time I receive so much inspiration I keep writing for eight hours or more. But this is NOT typical.

Many people have very loose definitions of what they call work. Not me.

For the record, work is NOT sitting around reading books about business, mind power or anything else. That’s called research - and unless a company is paying you to do research - it ain’t work.

Work is not driving around town - unless you’re paid to drive around.

Work is not surfing the web - unless the company you work for pays you to do this.

Work is not visiting with other people, by phone or in person. Nor is it standing around gossiping or fault finding. Unless you work for a company that pays you to visit or gossip - it does not qualify as work.

Oh, and guess what - THINKING is not work, either - unless you are being paid to think. If you aren’t being paid for your thoughts, then you cannot count thinking time as part of your workday.

In the past I have asked people I coach how much time they think I spend each day working. The answers were amazing.

“You work 12 hours a day,” one person said.

“You’re always working,” said another.

“You never stop working. Even when you’re driving, sleeping or eating, you’re always thinking, therefore you’re working,” came another.

I replied: “But I spend very little time each day thinking. Most of the time my mind is empty.”

These people have very loose definitions of work. To them anything and everything qualifies. No it doesn’t.

Work - in the business sense of the term - is ONLY that which you are compensated for. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Work - in the ultimate sense of the term - is not work at all. It is a labor of love. It is what you’d be doing if there were no such thing as muney - but you do get paid for it.

If you were to ask me, “Fure-cat, what would you be doing if there was no such thing as muney” - I would say, “The very things I’m doing right now. The things I’m already being paid to do.”

I’d still be writing books, emails, newsletters, making DVDs, CDs, giving seminars, coaching people - and so on.

Truth is I don’t do anything because “I need muney.”

And I never have.

If I have a client, for example, who disrespects me, I tell him to take a hike. And it doesn’t matter how much moohlah he has paid me to date. I never think, “Oh, I’ll just put up with this crap because I NEED muney.” I was this way when I was a personal fitness trainer in California and had next to nothing, financially, and I am this way today.

Sure, I’ve had moments in time in which I felt stuck. I wanted to grow but didn’t appear to be making progress. But even in those moments, I didn’t do things because I needed money. I did them because they were aligned with what I wanted in life.

I believe in asking the Infinite to supply you with abundance. I believe in asking for a life in which you are able to start living all your dreams NOW.

I don’t believe in asking for an easy or carefree life. I don’t believe in asking for comfort.

I do believe, however, in asking for and expecting to be able to accomplish your financial goals far faster than most - so that you have the time and muney to do all the other things you want to do in life.

What does FAR FASTER mean.

It means in a maximum of seven years, but preferably three to five. It does not mean 40 or more years. That’s a dumb plan.

By following my 4-hour workday plan, I was able to double my income year after year - and I’ve taught many others to do likewise.

Let me say this: When finances become an after thought, you have no idea how much energy you will have compared to NOW.

I believe that people use 80% or more of their energy worrying about, fretting about and obsessing about muney. And they think the way out of the mess is MORE work. In some cases this is true. Afterall, there are some incredibly lazy people out there who want something for nothing.

But most people are already busting a hump. The thing is they are doing it the wrong way. You don’t bust a hump to make a living. You bust self-limiting ideas and concepts. Those are the only humps you bust. And when you bust these humps - you are able to think and act clearly - to do things in a far faster, far more efficient and far more effective manner.

Just think if you no longer spent any of your time doing the things which aren’t productive. If you’ll do this it will be easy to imagine that you will be able to put in four hours of work and still increase your income - year after year.

One of my ace students, Jim Whelan, has done this.

He started his business in 2004, via my recommendation.

Following my advice, he now has a business that allows him to travel much of the year. Like myself, he can run his show with a lap top and cell phone.

In the past 18 months, Jim has visited more countries than I can count. He’s been to Japan, China, Russia, Antarctica, Greece, Egypt, Italy and more. And if you were to meet him over lunch, you’d be amazed at how different he is from the average “worker” today.

You can check out his website at thejoanrandallagency.com

Several months ago he went through his typical day with me - telling me what he does from morning til night. One thing is certain, he doesn’t live “pray-check to pray-check.”

Another thing I quickly noted is how much time Jim has for himself. He spends more time doing what he wants to do than almost anyone.

Well, how’d he get to this position.

And how did I?

This will be revealed at my 4-Hour Workday Seminar - coming this September.

Get Ready.

Unless you’ve been living on Pluto, you’ve probably heard the adage, “Success is nothing but hard, hard work.”

I call this the “herd work” mentality because it reflects a deep cultural trance that most people are imbedded in - and never get out of, unless they learn a new way of thinking, doing and being.

“Herd” work.

It’s not just hard work people buy into. They buy into whatever the “herd” is doing.

If the herd works 40-60 hours a week - then in order to fit in - I better do so, too.

Not me.

I have a better way. I work (if you choose to call it that) four hours a day instead of eight or twelve. And I get more done in those four hours than others do in their eight or twelve.

On top of that, because of the way I think and do things, I figured out a way to do better financially, in just four hours, than others do all month. And I can teach you the Furey Way to double your income, year after year, working only four hours a day.

Now, you might think this is due to me having some special gifts or talents. But I’m not more gifted or talented than the average human being.

I am, however, more focused. I am also much more willing to question the status quo and do things in an unusual way.

For example, I am not interested in building a business with a bunch of employees. Don’t want them. Cannot envision it.

So I’m not impressed when I hear about Internet or information marketers who make 10 or 20 millyun a year - but have 25, 50 or 100 employees. I wouldn’t trade places with any of them - even if they’re better looking :).

Why.

First of all, lots of employees is waaaay too much baby sitting. Employees are like fish - after three days they start to stink. And this smell leads to migraines.

Second, when you look at businesses with a ton of employees, what this means is that the owner rarely, if ever, gets a vacation. I live on a tropical island in China much of the year. Coming here is like being on vacation - yet, I’m always sort of on a mini-vacation. Afterall, I only work four hours a day - if you’ll call what I do “work.”

Third, if you work more than four hours a day, chances are excellent that your body is turning to mush. You’re losing your health instead of strengthening it. And in the event that you ever have a health breakdown, you cannot afford to take time to heal.

Last year when I suffered a detached retina and needed emergency surgery - I took two months off to recover and my business didn’t suffer a lick. How many people can miss two months of work and
still feed themselves and their families. It’s tough if you’ve bought into the 40-hour, praycheck-to-praycheck jerk week.

Fourth, if you work more than four hours a day, chances are great that you have little if any time for family or friends. You get up tired and go to bed tired. That’s not a good way to live.

Fifth, if you work more than four hours a day, you have next to no time to pursue other interests or hobbies.

Sixth, if you work more than four hours a day, you aren’t using your Creative Imagination the way it was intended. As a result you miss the obvious ways in which you could double or triple your income by doing LESS - not more.

Seventh, if you work more than four hours a day, you’re stressed out most of the time and have little if any time left for spiritual matters. Maybe this point doesn’t matter to you - but it does to ME.

Anyway, it is now 3:30 PM here on Hainan Island in China.

I’ve been working for two full hours so far today. I have two more hours to go. Then I’m going to go take a sauna, followed by a salt bath, followed by a massage and a shave.

Then I’m going to grab some food.

After that I’m going to sit on a recliner and finish reading a book.

When the book is finished I’m going to make some notes in my journal. Then, before bed, I’m going to program my mind - so that even when I’m sleeping, my mind is searching for and attracting new ideas, new information and new ways of doing so that I can eventually get my typical workday down to three, two or even one hour.

And you know what, at my September “4-Hour Workday Seminar” I’m going to be teaching you how I got myself to the point where I am today; the point where I was able to double my income by only working four hours a day - with lots of vacation time.

Yes, I’m going to reveal ALL at my seminar this September.

Get Ready.

Enrollment opportunities coming your way soon. And you better be prepared to jump at the irresistible offer I have for you.

Matt Furey

Many moons ago I was taught something about work. It took me a long time to figure out what it meant.

For many, many years I worked from early in the morning til late at night. I thought there was no
other way. I thought this was the way it IS - or the way it’s supposed to be.

Several years ago I discovered a way out of this belief system - and in turn I found a new life, a new reality, and a freedom I never had before.

Part of what I figured out is that it is not a good idea to do anything “normal.”

If the average person works 40 hours a week - and that is normal - then why not figure out a way to do far less and be more productive.

Truth is that a great many people are working far more than 40 hours a week - and they have next to nothing to show for it - other than age spots, gray hair and a tired and dilapidated body.

If you’re like me and you have a family and interests galore - then it doesn’t make sense to feed a system that deprives you and denies you at the same time. Why not reach for a new way a living - one that allows you the time, freedom and income that will give you the space to live your dreams.

It comes as a surprise to many - but in my world, if my typical workday is more than four hours long, I’m doing something wrong.

The other day I crafted a little ditty that illustrates my belief about this subject:

If your workday is more than four hours long - You’re definitely doing something wrong! It’s time to take a look in the mirror. It’s time to ask what you hold so dear.

Is it time or is it money. Or the freedom to do what’s funny. If your whole life is nothing but work,
On your deathbed you’ll feel like a jerk.

Now, if you work 40 hours or more a week and want to continue doing so for the rest of your life - then support you 100%.

But if you want to run along with me and do things the Furey Way - the way that gives you time for family, friends, your health, hobbies and interests - the way that allows for greater income in less time - then stay tuned. In a day or three I’ll have information posted online about my 4-Hour Workday Seminar - coming this September.

It’s going to be awesome - and the offer I have for you is simply irresistible.

Get ready.

Today I’d like to talk about visualization a bit - but mostly about how you will FEEL (as well as look) when you’re doing it the Psycho-Cyb way.

Quite often, those who leave my seminars and coaching write to tell me that even after several days - they’re still “BUZZING.”

Yes, they’ve got the right word.

When you visualize the right way, it’s like you’ve entered the Promised Land - the Land of Milk and Honey. Only difference is when you drink cosmic milk and honey - you don’t just feel more energized - you BUZZ with energy.

You vibrate at a whole new level.

This BUZZ can be detected by others, even if you’re sitting by yourself, calmly reading a book - eating a meal or having a conversation.

It can be felt by others when you enter a room. Tis why people respond to you differently when you’re regularly Psycho-Cyb’ing yourself - or getting Psycho-Cyb’d by me.

When you’ve been Psycho-Cyb’d - your face takes on a whole new look. Pain and frustration are replaced with a Cheshire cat grin. The cat has been let out of the bag - unconditional happiness abounds.

You realize you can be happy anytime. Not just when you achieve a goal - but on the path to the goal.

As you progress into more advanced studies in Psycho-Cyb, you will discover that others begin to BUZZ when they listen to you talk, when they read your written words - or when they simply hang around you.

I was first made aware of this in 1988, a year after picking up, reading and LIVING the principles I teach today.

I was in Ashland, Oregon, working a wrestling camp. Upon being introduced to another coach, we shook hands. He then turned to the man who introduced us and said, “Wow, what’s going on with this guy. He’s got some energy, eh.”

I had no idea what the man experienced - no idea what he was even talking about. But I do today.

He was not referring to the strength of my grip - as I never shake hands with a finger-breaking grip. In fact, my handshake is surprisingly soft.

What he was referring to was the BUZZ coming from inside. The electricity inside the handshake. An electricity that makes people feel welcome and energized when they meet you.

How’d you like to have some of this electrical BUZZ, too.

You can develop it when you study what I am teaching.

P.S. Due to limited Internet access I am a bit behind schedule with the information about my September seminar. It will be coming soon and when people see the irresistible offer being made - the room may fill very, very fast. Get ready.

Someone with a prosperity consciousness thinks about money the same way a farmer thinks about planting his crops. He looks at  money as a “seed” that will yield a harvest. He plants with total faith that each “seed” will bring wealth his way. He thinks about each seed bringing abundance. And he understands that a certain percentage of all that is harvested must be saved, replanted or provided to others to keep the GAME going.

This morning is Father’s Day here in China. I celebrated it early with my son, Frank. Our celebration wasn’t a party, though - or the giving of gifts. It was a workout wherein we practiced a variety of exercises that strengthen the connection between mind and body. At the end of the workout I spoke to Frank about how the mind works - how we get the most out of ourselves when we have a goal. I talked to him about the awesome power of our creative imagination - how we accomplish great works when we combine imagination with action. At the end of the session I whispered a positive phrase that I want him to remember forever. I gave him a formula to make this phrase part of every cell in his mind and body.

Remember, Rome cannot be built overnight, but it CAN be built. The blueprint, as well as the eventual structure and completed project ALWAYS takes place in your IMAGINATION FIRST, FOREMOST AND FOREVER. THIS PROCESS CANNOT BECHANGED OR AVOIDED. THOUGHT PRECEDES ALL ACTION. So get your thoughts directed toward the pursuit of what matters to you and you’re on your way. AT THE SAME TIME… keep track of where you are in relation to where you want to be - and keep building until your ‘Rome’ becomes what you envision.

Guilt about sex and money are located in the same energy center of the body. It’s virtually impossible to be negative about one without having a connection to the other.

Remain emotionally neutral about praise and criticism - yet wise enough to know when each can be used to your advantage. Sometimes criticism is the catalyst that helps you focus on an objective and prove your case. On the other hand, praise can be the very thing that derails you and takes you off course. Wisdom is knowing who you are and what you’re capable of - with or without praise or criticism.

You are not 100% responsible for everything that has ever happened to you. But you are 100% responsible for every mental picture you have about everything that has ever happened to you. Don’t blame yourself for the things that happened to you that you could not control and did not want. In spite of what others may say, you didn’t create every situation and circumstance in your life. For some this will be a welcome relief.
