Forgive me if I sounded like I was trying to disprove any points you were trying to make. I whole heartedly agree that he still believed it was working. And that it did work. I just didn't want anyone to think that he wasn't actaully able to manifest the million $.

Nah, I never said it was or wasn't.
Don't get me wrong, hard work does pay off. I own a few real estate investment properties, and I've worked extremley hard to acquire, gut, reno, and keep them occupied. And I'm also a Value Investor so I do a ton of homework before buying into any company. But I think that if I put any emphasis on acheivement by "hard work," that's the only kind of opportunities that'll manifest. Heck to me, lazy money is even more pleasurable to spend as hard earned money.
But that's all subjective anyway, if you like hard work and it makes you happy then by all means, "Follow your Bliss" as Esther Hicks would say. Plus, what could be considered hard work or some might be considered just play to others. So "hard" is only an opinion.
Besides that I'm totally seduced by the concept of leveraging other people's ideas, time, effort, and money. I'm totally fine with going along for a ride where I didn't produce any value myself, but still get paid because I was part of the action. So what I've been trying to do lately is pull away from the "do-it-yourself" mentality when it comes to business, and that has opened up many doors.
