How do you eliminate fear? I can tell you in one

paragraph – but you’ll probably forget – so let me

tell you a story.

There was a teenage boy who began selling life

insurance with his mother several decades back.

He was told by his mother to go into a building

and try to sell a policy to every single person

he met.

He was scared to do so. But he learned early on

to follow instructions – and he did so.

The first day out in the field he made two sales.

The second day four. The third day – six.

As he improved he began to note what he did to

succeed and what he did when he failed. He realized

that when he was afraid he hesitated and didn’t give

it everything he had.

So he set out to conquer his fear. At first he tried to conquer

his fear through THINKING alone. This helped some –

but not enough. He then realized that if he moved forward,

greeted a prospect, puffed out his chest, spoke loudly, smiled

and so on – that something mysterious happened to the fear.

It disappeared.

Where’d it go. Don’t know. But it’s gone.

At that moment the young boy understood that fear is not

always subject to reason – but it always subject to action.

This young boy went on to become a billionaire. He also lived

to age 100 in very good health. His name, W. Clement Stone.

Now this story can become YOUR story.

Think of something you’re afraid to do when it comes to health

and fitness.

Perhaps you’re afraid to lose weight or get fit. Your mind has

reasoned, erroneously, all sorts of stupid scenarios. And you’re

trying to reason with your mind to rid yourself of the fear.

Dumb idea.

Instead of trying to out-wit your fear – get off your ass and

DO SOMETHING.

Lead with your chest. Breathe deeply. Walk fast. Begin

talking with enthusiasm. Tell yourself, out loud, “Today I’m

going to get myself into better shape than I was in yesterday.”

Get into position and knock out a set of Hindu Squats.

Then do a set of Hindu Pushups.

Then do some bridging.

Then do the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener.

Followed by the vaccuum.

Followed by the Power Wheel – http://www.mattfurey.com/powerwheel.html

Follow along with me on the Combat Conditioning DVDs each day, first thing –

http://www.mattfurey.com/conditioning_book.html – and the death of fear

is certain.

Remember, there are no rewards in life when you sit on the sidelines paralyzed

with fear.

Your ticket out of the paralysis is simple. Stand up. Stand tall. Breathe deep

and MOVE.

Once you’ve done this you’ll understand that the story of the teenage salesman

can be applied to any fear you have.

Lose your fear and get fit fast.

Kick butt – take names,

Matt Furey

P.S. One more time: The emotion of fear is not always subject to reason – but it

is ALWAYS subject to forward movement. I’m talking about moving your body

through space and time. Do it and you’ll know that this is true.

Was Vincent Van Gogh “too beautiful for this world?”

I don’t think so.

He was someone who was functional when he painted –

but at no other time. He had no idea how to

sell his work. He had no idea how to get along with

people. His mind was filled with little more than negative

images, not only of himself, but of the world at large.

Salvador Dail, on the other hand, sold his paintings all

over the world WHILE he was living. He connected with

people while he was alive. He was engaging and alive in

virtually everything he did. When he spoke, people listened.

Dali was a good friend of Dr. Maxwell Maltz. He was also

a fan of Psycho-Cybernetics. So much so that he created

a painting for Dr. Maltz and gave it to him as a gift. This

same painting appears on the cover of The New Psycho-

Cybernetics – the revised edition featuring Dr. Maltz and

Dan Kennedy – available at amazon.com.

What did Dali understand that Van Gogh didn’t?- not to

mention all the other starving artists out there.

First, Dali understood that starvation is not glamorous.

He understood that there is no such thing as being “too

beautiful for this world.” You either get what you want

out of life or you don’t.

Second, Dali understood that there are two orientations

toward life: One moves toward the sun – one toward

darkness. He understood that you can sail on a sea of

calm waters with a helmsman on board your vessel – or

you can choose a directionless life, floundering on a raging

sea of frustration and failure – with no helmsman in the

vessel.

Third, Dali understood that you can view yourself as

valuable and what you do as valuable. Or you can

view yourself as unimportant.

Fourth, Dali realized that you can see yourself as larger than

life – or you can see yourself as no larger than a small potato.

Last, Dali understood that it wasn’t talent that caused success. He

realized it had far more to do with something called “self-image.”

He understood that talent is everywhere – but most with talent have

negative images of the possibilities that life offers – if you’ll open

yourself to them.

Dali became larger than life, WHILE on this earth – and afterward.

Dail’s success began on the inside; he pictured more than what he

painted on a canvas. Dali’s mind was filled with images of success –

so he moved toward those images and received them.

Van Gogh’s mind was filled with the negative – and he got what he

thought about. It was only when his negative mind was removed

from the equation that his paintings sold. If he were still alive, he’d

still be starving because that’s how he thought of himself.

Van Gogh got from life what he pictured – but didn’t paint.

So did Dali.

In your own life you have a choice to make: To be like Dali – or

Van Gogh. One was a prosperous artist – the other starved. Both

had immense talent – but talent doesn’t make for a successful life.

The key to greatness lies in the way that you think; the way you think

about your life and what you want from it.

Keep your mental pictures off the things you don’t want – and make

sure you never add Van Gogh like negative emotion to the things you

don’t want. Otherwise you’re inviting failure – even tragedy.

Picture the good things you want with happy, outlandish, outrageous,

Dali-like emotion – then stand back and observe these things becoming

part of your reality.

Best,

Matt Furey

P.S. Follow the same type of thinking used by the great Salvador

Dali. Sail through

life on calm waters with a helmsman in control of your life. You can

This morning someone asked me about ‘fat burning’

supplements – and which I would recommend.

Answer: A daily dose of Combat Conditioning and

Combat Abs.

Now, when I say a daily dose of the Royal Court

(Hindu Pushups, Hindu Squats and bridging) and the

Magnificent Seven. I also mean that you flip to

the back of my book and follow the workouts.

Make sure you do some rope skipping regularly. The best

ropes for this exercise are available at http://www.lifelineusa.com.

Bobby ‘Sugar’ Hinds invented a special type of rope built for

speed and comfort – they’re the only ones I recommend. Oh, and

by the way, I call him Mr. Hinds ‘Sugar’ because most people

don’t know that he was a champion boxer in college – and he’s

got the nose to prove it, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, after giving up the gloves Bobby later found himself getting

‘soft’ – so he took up L.S.D. (long slow distance) running. Then he

discovered that you could get the same benefits from 30 minutes of running

by doing only ’10 minutes’ of rope skipping. For busy guys like me, this

is a no-brainer. Drop the extra 20 minutes and master the rope.

What else.

Well, how bout those hill sprints I keep harping on. If you run

them 2 or 3 times per week, the fat will melt off you like sweat

dripping from a race horse. Then there’s the ‘Scab Run’ – named after

Keith Mourlam, an All-American wrestler at Iowa. Run a sprint, do

pushups. Run another, do more pushups. Etc.

Then there’s the Karl Gotch Bible workout. Get a deck of cards –

any deck’ll do. Even the ‘Deck of Weasels.’ Flip a card, do pushups.

Flip another, do squats. See my book for details.

Yes, there are some supplements that help burn the fat – but

none works as effectively as Combat Conditioning combined with

the Combat Abs program.

Well, all for now.

Kick butt – take names,

Matt Furey

P.S. If you already have Combat Conditioning, go to

http://www.mattfurey.com/furey_fat_burning_diet.html to

get my food program.

P.P.S. If you don’t have Combat Conditioning, quit

lolly-gagging around. Tis time for a change. Go to

http://www.mattfurey.com/conditioning_book.html and

start burning fat off your body like never before.

What do you say or think before you turn out the

lights?

If you’re like most, you go to bed with the words “I’m

tired” on your lips.

I like to do something else instead. Before going to bed

I review the goals I want to achieve. I take a few moments

to picture what I want – and then, just before drifting off, I

tell myself, “Tommorow is going to be a great day and I’m

going to wake up feeling totally refreshed and energized.”

If you’ve been reading my daily emails for a few years, you’ll

note that this isn’t the first time I’ve mentioned this practice.

Yet, we need reminders from time to time – sort of like my

daily reminders to do Hindu Squats, Hindu Pushups, bridging,

the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener, the vacuum – and so

on.

The key to learning – and the key to your growth as a person

is constant repetition of the basics. And just so you are not

mistaken, the basics are as follows:

1. Breathing

2. The Pictures we see in our Imagination

3. The Words we choose to shape our destiny

4. The Emotion we put into our mental images and words

5. The actions we take each day

6. The habits we form as a result of repetition

Now, just so you know, how you end your day – your final

thoughts, should be similar to how you start your day.

Your first and final thoughts are the bookends for your day.

You begin the day with a goal. You end the day thinking about

your goal.

In fact, during the day, it’s also a good idea to eat, drink, think

and work on it.

Back during my college days, when I was sitting inside a boring

classroom – which was MOST of the time, I often had a notebook

out where I drew stick figure pictures of my goals – and rewrote

phrases like – “Matt Furey – National Champion.”

These things became a reality for me.

Today, I still do these things – and I think it’s no surprise that they

continue to work.

Why do they work? Good question.

To get your answer, it’s best to do the exercises. Then you’ll know.

But if you really want to know more – then I suggest you invest in my

Magnetic Mind Power program – http://www.mattfurey.com/magnetic_mind_power.html– or my Magnetic Millionaire program – http://www.mattfurey.com/magnetic_millionaire.html

Both of these extraordinary programs will change your life in ways you

may have thought impossible.

The other day I heard a quote from the late Bishop Sheen – it goes as follows:

“Believe the impossible and you can do the incredible.”

I think that one should go on a 3×5 card that sits upon your desk. I have it

on mine. I read it first thing in the morning – and just before going to bed

at night. It’s a great first and final thought for each day, don’t you think.

My friend, that’s all for now.

Kick butt – take names,

Matt Furey

P.S. And don’t forget about the Matt Furey Inner Circle program – with the 7 gifts

and more – http://www.mattfurey.com/furey_inner_circle.html

In a few seconds I’m going to tell you how to BANISH

computer butt syndrome, but first …

Last year Lt. Col. Robert Schutz, currently stationed

in Iraq, pounded out 100,000 Hindu Squats.

He made no excuses. He didn’t complain about the heat.

He didn’t moan about not getting Starbucks coffee sent

to him free (the LAST thing our soldiers need anyway).

Lt. Col Schutz simply focused on a target – and hit it.

As a result many members of the Matt Furey Inner

Circle were so inspired that they chose to hit the same

goal THIS year.

Some members, however, needed a kick in the can,

so yesterday I further challenged them, telling them

it’s NOT too late to start on this goal. You can start

today and hit 100,000 Hindu Squats for the year. You

can do it in a little over 7 months.

Several of the daredevils immediatedly accepted the

challenge and they’re pushing each other on.

Tis yet another benefit of being a member of the

Matt Furey Inner Circle. The online camraderie

is contagious – and the monthly newsletter and CD

I send you – along with 7 gratis gifts that exceed the

fee for membership – will keep you inspired day after

day, month in-month out.

Not only that but by the end of this year, none of these

members will have Computer Butt Syndrome. It’s impossible

when you do Hindu Squats.

Now, if 100,000 Hindu Squats is beyond your current

ability, then set a target to hit 10,000 – or 20,000 –

or choose to do 4,000 Hindu Pushups – or 5 hours

worth of bridging.

Or walk 500 miles.

It doesn’t matter what the goal is – so long as you

choose one NOW – so long as it inspires you – and

so long as it helps you become MORE than you are

right now.

Face it, sitting on your ass before the computer all

day – that does little more than give you a HUGE

butt. Sitting on your rumpus watching hours of

tee-vee each day – what does that give you. An

even bigger ass.

The secret of fitness success is spelled GOYA. It

stands for Get Off Your Ass.

Don’t add band-width to the Computer Butt Age.

Move, my friend. MOVE.

Start NOW by becoming a member of the Matt

Furey Inner Circle. It doesn’t take much, except

your willingness to lift one butt cheek and pull

out your credit card.

It’ll be the best decision you’ve made all year.

I never thought of it this way. But I got an email

from a customer who put it into words that are

picture perfect. Let’s take a look:

Dear Mr. Furey,

I have followed your website and fitness tips for some time. I always

wanted to buy Combat Abs – http://www.mattfurey.com/combat_abs.html –

but something always came up. I always had an excuse.

1) I’m low on cash

2) I’ll wait until my next payday

3) Next month I’ll order it

And you know what happened. Nothing.

It was like every time I was set to buy one of your books I would sabotage

myself. It was like I feared improving, feared becoming something more,

feared greatness.

Then one day I had an epiphany. I finally realized that there was never

going to be a perfect time to act. I had to either bite the bullet or quit

pretending.

I bought your book Combat Abs – http://www.mattfurey.com/combat_abs.html –

and all I can say is:

Oh My God.

Every day I feel my midsection getting smaller. It’s like having a

blacksmith inside your body, pounding out those imperfections

from the inside, making your midsection strong and hard.

For those people sitting on the fence (like me) content only to take

advice from the daily emails (and I love the emails) I would say this:

Suck it up and buy something – buy anything.

Start living or turn in your keys, anything else is just taking up space.

Sincerely,

Caleb

M.F. Caleb, you just made my day. With people like you around my

job is a lot easier. Thanks so much for sending this.

Kick butt…take names,

P.S. Caleb now understands what being a “DOER” is all about. Do you.

Last summer I grabbed a stockpile of books to read on our annual

voyage to China. One of them, BLINK, was so good, I’ve been telling

people about it ever since.

Incidentally, the author, Malcolm Gladwell, is the same guy who wrote

THE TIPPING POINT – another national best-seller.

So this book, BLINK, confirmed some things that I have been telling

people for the past 10 years – and it opened my eyes on a number

of other issues.

One of the things it confirmed was how someone of a high skill level

in martial arts, music, painting, and so on, can look at someone or

something, and INSTANTLY assess the skill level or value. I have often

told people that I can look across the room, see two people practicing or

competing, and immediately know if they’re the real deal or not.

How do I know this? I can’t really explain. It’s just a guttural instinct that

comes after three plus decades in the trenches.

I also loved the book because of how it revealed the power of face reading.

In Chinese this is called Xiang Mian. I’ve looked into it for over a decade

and find it to be most fascinating – as well as highly accurate.

One of the biggest ‘a-ha’s’ I got from BLINK, however, was how they have

scientifically proven that those who take a long time to make a decision,

usually make a WORSE decision than if they go with the gut feeling they

have from the get-go.

Back in 1991, I was made aware of a guy named Dan Kennedy, a master

marketer, copywriter and business coach. I read one of his books and got

great value. Then I talked to someone else about him, and he blasted him,

telling me he was no good, etc. etc. The person who told me this, now, was

a close relative, i.e. family member, so I took his comments seriously. Dumb

move. Very very dumb. I should have gone with my gut; with my instincts.

In 2001, some 10 years later, I hooked up with Kennedy via one of his seminars –

and do you know something. Halfway through the first day of the event I was kicking

myself for NOT getting involved with him 10 years earlier. My business soared to

record heights from what I learned – and part of what I learned I applied to the

Internet, with huge results.

Two years later, Kennedy hooked me up with Psycho-Cybernetics, which he owned

the rights to. I tell the story about the influence that Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Psycho-

Cybernetics had on me at http://www.psycho-cybernetics.com/zrlcourse.html – be

sure to check it out.

My point is simple: When I make my decisions quickly, I’m almost always right, just

as written about in BLINK. When I hem and haw and think, think, think – I’m not really

thinking at all. I’m preparing myself for what will probably be a dumb decision.

The message is clear: Learn to trust your internal instincts. Learn to believe in that

initial gut reaction or feeling you have about something. Chances are better than not

that what you think in a BLINK will be the right answer.

Best,

Matt Furey

Last fall, after launching my newest product, The

Chinese Long-Life System, several readers wrote to

ask what I think of tai chi and how the new program

compares to tai chi.

My answer is two or three-fold.

First of all, tai chi is a wonderful form of exercise. It benefits

virtually anyone who can practice it. Some forms are easier to

learn than others, but all are designed to arrive at the destination

of greater health.

In the 1990’s I practiced and played around with several different

styles of tai chi. Chen thunder-style, Yang, Wu, Chang and Chen

(without the thunder).

I enjoyed all of them. Yet, I found Chen Thunder-style to suit me

best. The only drawback to it was the scarcity of teachers in the U.S.

for this particular style.

Second, I like tai chi because the philosophy of daily practice coincides

with my belief about exercise. You can and should do something everyday.

If your upper body is sore, go for a walk. If your legs and upper body are

sore, work on deep breathing exercises – or do the Farmer Burns Stomach

Flattener as taught in Combat Abs – http://www.mattfurey.com/combat_abs.html

Third and most unfortunately, tai chi takes a long time to learn. There are some

styles that are easier to learn than others, but to really experience the treasure-

trove of health benefits, you’ve got to devote a lot of time.

There are many people who have taken up the practice of tai chi at age 40, 50,

60 and so on. And they have benefitted enormously. Yet, they did what so many

people are unwiling to do. They practiced on a regular basis.

On the other hand, being so many people over the age of 40 are incredibly flabby,

inflexible and weak – tai chi is not the right program to begin with. These people are

far better off with walking, deep breathing and the plethora of energy building drills

in The Chinese Long-Life System – http://www.chineseculturesecrets.com/long_life.html

The Chinese Long-Life System is designed in such a way that the sedentary critter who

has spent a couple decades hibernating on the sofa, can get up and do it and feel the

benefits instantly.

You don’t need to be flexible. You don’t need to be strong. You don’t even need much

endurance. All you need is the DESIRE to improve yourself just a little bit. Do a minute

of the exercises and you won’t want to stop.

Moreover, those who practice tai chi, chi kung, kung fu or any other martial art – will

love The Chinese Long-Life System because of its ability to rejuvenate and revive your

body/mind after hard training. Not only that, but if you’re a competitive animal, the

exercises are the PERFECT warm-up.

The same goes for those who do Combat Conditioning, lift weights, do tons of cardio, and

so on. You need a boost. And you need to take care of the inside of your body – not just

the outside.

I don’t care how strong your muscles are or how much endurance they have. If your

internal organs begin to fail, you’re in serious trouble.

This is the reason why The Chinese Long Life System is so incredibly powerful. By working

the pressure points and meridians of the body directly, you increase the flow of qi in the body,

which according to 5000 plus years of recorded Chinese history, increases your health and

helps you live a longer, more fulfilling life.

At any rate, we’ve got another 117 copies of The Chinese Long-Life System available at the

current price. After these are sold the amount will go up considerably. So be sure to get in

while the getting is really, really good. Go to http://www.chineseculturesecrets.com/long_life.html

P.S. On the following link you’ll find a photo of me training in the system with an 90-year

old lady. These exercises kept her youthful and energetic – and made it easy for me to

teach her Combat Conditioning, which she picked up quickly. Now that’s saying something,

don’t you think. Go to http://www.chineseculturesecrets.com/long_life.html and place your

order NOW.

Time and again we hear success teachers say that

in order for you to have something, you must see it

in your mind’s eye first. And although this is helpful

advice, it isn’t the whole shebang.

Why.

Because your ’emotional state’ is a far bigger indicator

of whether you’re on the right path or not.

Take money, for example. Ask someone if he can see

himself doubling, tripling or 10x’ing the amount of money

he earns. Maybe he can see doubling it. Maybe he can

see tripling it. Maybe even 10x’ing it.

But even if he can see the improvement, ask what his FEELING

is about having it. Very often you will find that even if the person

can visualize having it – he cannot FEEL himself having it.

Or, even more common, he may see himself with it, then

immediately feel pangs of guilt, fear or anxiety about

having it.

When you find someone who simultaneously envisions what

he wants … AND has a strong, powerful and positive feeling about

having it, you’re looking at a person who is destined for success.

On the other hand, if you’re looking at someone who sees what

he wants – but his feeling about having it is one of fear, worry,

discomfort and frustration, then he won’t get what he wants until

he turns his servo-mechanism into what Dr. Maxwell Maltz called

your automatic success mechanism.

Seeing what you want is great. Speaking about what you want is

helpful. But until the FEELING of having the goal matches the desire

you picture and talk about, you’ll always fall short.

Match the vision with the feeling – and you’ll know what having

Zero Resistance is all about.

Best,

Matt Furey

P.S. In Zero Resistance Living you’ll learn one strategy after

another that helps you match your emotional state to the desire

you are picturing. Go to http://www.psycho-cybernetics.com/zrlcourse.htmland order NOW.

Last night I told my son and daughter it was time to

go outside for exercise.

We often do a lap or two around the block – it’s nearly a mile –

and the jaunt often includes a combination of sprints, backward

running, and so on.

Last night the kids were tired and didn’t want to go.

So I tricked them into the workout by grabbing a couple Chinese

tai chi racquets and some balls that we could use along the way.

Suddenly exercise wasn’t such a dreadful thing.

When we finished our lap we stopped in the street and played “catch

and fetch.” The kids throw me the ball. I catch it. Then I throw it about 20

meters so they have to race each other to fetch it.

After awhile Frank decided he wanted to work on juggling a couple balls.

Being he’s new to the practice, he kept dropping the ball. At first it was no

big deal to him, but after it happened about 21 times, he started to get

frustrated.

“I keep making mistakes,” he complained.

“That’s good,” I replied.

“But I don’t like to make mistakes,” he said.

“I know,” I said. “Making mistakes feels like it’s a bad thing

when you’re learning something new, but it’s not. By the way,

did I ever tell you the story of Thomas Edison.”

“No, who’s that?”

“Well, Thomas Edison was the man who invented the light bulb.

100 years or so ago, we didn’t have lights like we do today. But

this guy, Thomas Edison, he wanted to invent one so that we

could read at night.”

“Yeah, and how’d he invent the light bulb?” Frank asked.

“By making mistakes,” I replied. “In fact, did you know that he

made 10,000 mistakes when trying to invent the light bulb. He

tried 10,000 times and failed every time. But he eventually

succeeded because he didn’t quit.”

I paused for a moment, squatted so that I was eye-to-eye with

my son, then I continued. “You have only made 21 mistakes so

far in learning how to juggle. You’ve got a long way to go to reach

Thomas Edison. So I don’t want to hear another complaint until

you’ve hit that number.”

Frank got the message and started to practice again. Not a murmur

from him either.

I am always astounded when I see the number of people who, as

adults, whine and moan about how tough they have it. They begin

an exercise program and if they haven’t lost all their flab in a few

days, they lose heart. Or they begin a weight loss regimen and if

they only lose a couple pounds the first week, they get depressed.

The easily discouraged need to remember that success is a journey.

You get where you want to go in life by practice; by practicing good

thoughts that lead to good habits. Problem with most people is that

they lack a success consciousness. Upon making their first mistake

they see failure.

But the success conscious person thinks and acts in a totally different

way.

Upon making a mistake, the success conscious person realizes he’s one

mistake closer to figuring out the right way to do something; he’s one

step closer to creating what he wants.

Focus on what you want – then train each and every day to bring it into

your life.

Be not discouraged. Stay the course. The only way you can fail to get the

results you want is if you mentally weaken. So toughen up on the inside

and you’ll eventually hit the target.
