  1. I find the answer to your question an easy yes – Yes.

    Hi Max – great video and I’m definitely interested in knowing more! Currently trying to figure my way forward with my passionate business venture. I’ve always worked for someone else and it is very stressful taking that big step.

    I wish I was coming to the retreat next weekend but the day job has the next 2 months of my life completely booked and then everything is up in the air.

    Hello Max:
    I am a strong believer in “When the student is ready the teacher appears”. I believe you are “the Teacher”. Yes I definitely want to be an Enlightened Entrepreneur. I am excited, open and intent on learning more. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely,
    Debbie Rachar

  4. I would love to hear more about the topics you will put online.

    Cheers

  5. Hi Max, Yes! Your wisdom imparted by “tastes of value” via video blogs would be fantastic.

    I would love your take on any of these challenges:
    1. How to tell the difference between my resistance that stems from fear vs coming from my instincts that are saying this is not the best choice?

    2. Defining what it is I do. What I did do doesn’t seem to match what I am now passionate about. So if I’m confused I imagine it’s not clear to prospective clients.

    3. Promoting my business and my gifts. I have a solid history of success prior to my 2 year sabbatical and now am having difficultly “getting back out there.”

    Congrats on all of your and your tribe’s successes,

    xoxo

It is perfect timing just after Thanksgiving, for I have had some time off. And I so look forward to meeting people who wish to authentically be their true selves! Thank you for being your amazing self too.

  8. Hi Max,

    I am really exited about what You have to chare. I am coming to the stepup andlead retreat and I am coming all the way from Norway. I am really ready and thrilled to bits.

    Much love

  9. Hi Max,

    I would appreciate it if you carry on making the videos and share what ever secrets you can with us. It’s easy to feel isolated when you are in business and running it from a very different perspective than most other people. So I appreciate what you are sharing and think that is the only way ahead for all businesses – to become more heart based and authentic.

    Best wishes

    Very empowering. Would love to hear more about music and the arts :-)

  11. Hey Max-

    When I clicked from FB to watch this video I read the title, “Make sure to comment if you want it…” as, “Make sure to COMMIT if you want it…” My mind went off thinking that maybe you would address the topic of committing to that which you really want and half way through watching it, I realized I had read the title differently.

    (Lol funny how life connects us sometimes : )

    Yes! Please do , continue to inspire through video; I think it’s an important medium before pictures &/or text used today. Congratulations on diving into the unknown!! I’ve also been to Asia and the fruits taste soooo sweet there!! Happy and Safe Travels.

    In Joy,

    Bess

    Oh my goodness…I am so excited to be a part of this. Please send me the links throughout the next year.

    Happy holidays!

  13. avatar Tyger Dirks says:

    Bulls eye Max, you expressed my feelings straight on!
    I hold uncertainty and a little fear of having committed to attend the Step Up and Lead Seminar but I know I’m in alignment with the Universe, this is the best path for my abundant future and I am excited to migrate to a higher level with you as a mentor!
    Hearing more of your inspiring videos online sounds righteous, and I am extremely excited about the upcoming retreat!

    Mucho love,
    Tyger

    Hi Max:

    I really like your video, I myself have been coming up with resistance both in my Massage & Aromatherapy biz and Dating relationships..
    I can’t figure it out…hopefully one day someone will open up the secret on me or..maybe one day I will stumble upon it. Not quite sure as of yet.

    I wish you much luck & success!!
    Thanks,
    Char

    Aloha Max : ). Your videos helped me with that fear hump and i’ve just moved to hawaii which was a dream of mine for a few years. Now i’ll be defining what direction my career will take and i love your clips of wisdom and support-look forward to more! You are so genuine : ). Mahalo.

  20. avatar Rodney says:

    Hello Max, I am attending your retreat this week, I actually can’t believe I’m doing this for myself. I’m trying to clear my mind of anything I think this experience will be so I can allow it to be what it’s suppose to be. All I can say is that I am excited, nervous but in a good way and anticipatory.

    So any additional info you have to share I’m all ears, see you a just a few days!!!

    Thanks Max:-)

  21. avatar AndreaC says:

    Hi Max,

    I would love for you to lead me in becoming a better more Enlightened Entrepreneur .

    Would it be too much to ask for you to consider NY (or at least East Coast) for your next (or in the near future) Step Up And Lead Now Retreat?

    Always Grateful,
    Andrea

  22. avatar Cynthia Griffin says:

    Yes, I would like you to do more on-line video’s.

    I have recently started a new business because of being laid-off because of the economy, it has been 8 months. I looked and looked for salary employment but because of this horrible economy (which the entire world is responsible for) the jobs are slim. So, what I have done is made a job for myself, however, it is frankly scarry,as all. The only way I pull my way through each day is through my practrice. I’m scarred to death but I do know it is my swadharma and I’m going to keep doing it, because I know it is my way to eventually be able to be more karmic active.

    I would appreciate all the support I can get and would deeply appreciate it.

  23. Thank you, Max.
    I am so excited to begin my journey with you at the Step Up and Lead Retreat next week.
    We are all here to inspire each other to grow and share out gifts and make a difference in the world.
    I am grateful for your information and inspiration…keep it coming.

    See you soon,

  24. avatar sharon says:

    Max from video to video i can feel the higher vibration you are tuning too and its a pleasure to feel it. i am happy for your success and that you find the path to create your dreams from your authentic self and become successful in that.
    And yes i would love to get those secrets.

  25. avatar Marie-Ève says:

    Greetings Max,

    Yes please! I find your videos informative – it’s like your reminding me of what I know.
    Thank you for that. I’d love to hear your thoughts on marketing, getting exposure and creating a buzz for a business. I’d like to reach more people with the loving that I’m dishing out.

    Blessings your way,

    M.eV

  26. avatar Beth says:

    YES YES YES!
    Perfect. Love it.
    And just like Bess, I also read it as “Make sure you COMMIT if you want it..” Intrigued… I immediately jumped right in to the video and while that is not what you wrote, I could still feel that intention in your words.

    Thank you for your honesty about fear. Having just returned from my first trip to Asia, I can relate and I will say it was the BEST thing I have ever done for myself.
    Congrats for pressing SEND.

    Something I’d like to learn more about as an Enlightened Entrepreneur is creative collaborations, how can we make them individually and also for the greater good?

    Looking forward to joining you next month.
    Until then, be well

  27. I’m an enthusiastic Enlightened Entrepreneur. I’ve been entrepreneurial since the early 80′s when I launched a tremendously successful community building performing arts event in Vermont that is celebrating it’s 27th year. That’s pretty cool but what’s cooler is NOW. In my mid-50′s I am in the process of re-inventing myself & how I create health and wealth. Get strong. Be well. Have fun. Wellness on and off the water. Rowingforall.com. I’m interested in a video series learning more about what you know about creative collaborations for the individual and for the greater good. Let’s here more!

  28. avatar Dave says:

    Bring it on, brother.

  29. I would love to see more videos!

  30. avatar Brianne Gates says:

    Of course! Keep the videos coming. Its like a great daily reminder of what is most important – FOCUSING ON MY PURPOSE AND BEING OF SERVICE TO MY TRIBE! I always want to be the enlightened entrepreneur who is in alignment with the Universe. Keep showing me how!

  31. avatar Debbie says:

    Hi, Max!

    So…purrfect timing with this video. I was feeling physically ‘sick’ about attending this retreat…so darned nervous about it which seemed really odd to me. I thought my inner guidance was telling me it was a mistake to attend but maybe it’s as you say. I hadn’t even considered that possibility.

    I should also confess that I haven’t actually done yoga before! (There, I said it and the walls didn’t come tumbling down around me…thank goodness.) I’m hoping there will be a few other ‘newbies’ in attendance. I know that the energy will be amazing and THAT, I am looking forward to…

    Hey, I think I just got excited! Yay!

    Sending (((hugs))) from Northern California and see you soon!
    Debbie

  32. Yes please yes please – feeling Fear in your body is KEY – thank you for highlighting that part of the process!

  33. avatar stephan mead says:

    max, looking forward to meeting you in a couple of days. keep the video’s coming! stephan

  34. avatar vicki faticone says:

    your guidance and truthful thoughts propel me forward, please keep them coming.

  35. avatar Sue says:

    Hi Max..Yes I am interested in more of your videos. My husband and I have had an amazing shift this year in our life, and as all things are exactly as they are meant to be…I realize that you have come into our life for a reason, and connecting with you will show us how to bring this shift to our business. To let go and experience abundance!! This year I personally let go and ended up going on a fabulous trip to Italy with my husband – Wow!!

  36. avatar Sarah S says:

    Max,

    Your video was so perfect. I am heading into a program which scares me and makes me want to throw-up, however when I am able to get centered I know in my heart its the right direction.

    So thank you for being so honest and open. It made me realize that even successful people have doubts or humps of fear to get past. So thank you.

    And yes, the short videos are perfect to take along with me during my day!
    Have fun in Asia
    Sarah

  37. avatar Neil says:

    Max,
    Thanks for sharing the video. The part about fear and walking through it really was relevant for me today! Thanks to the synchronicity of the Universe. Please keep posting these videos.
    Neil

  38. I don’t get nervous about much in my life… unless it’s really important to me. And I was relieved to see that I’m not alone in having a nervous pit in my stomach. It’s not 100% about the step up and lead conference, which I’m really excited about (because there are a few other exciting projects that are happening for me all at the same time). But a good portion of my “fear” is about stepping up and into this next phase of my life. The way I see it, if I were always comfortable and never nervous, then I’m not growing. At the same time, if I were always nervous and never comfortable, then I’m not on the right path.

    Thanks for your guidance, Max. I look forward to sharing all of our gifts.

  39. avatar JOy says:

    Max,
    I can really relate to what you are saying here and find it interesting that today is the day I experienced a similar outlook from one of my clients as we shared before we did our yoga session. Resistance is a normal reaction to change. We get use to our routine and habits and when we feel a need to grow, our mind of pattern trys to put on the breaks. I use to get really really anxious packing for any trip and then I realized it stemmed from old memories of constantly moving as a kid, fear of forgetting something, fear of not being ready for what lies ahead, etc. As we grow, we learn to let go and go with the flow allowing ourselves to be in the moment.
    Namaste,
    JOy:)

    Dear Max,

    I am in gratitude! I am more than thrilled to receive this information…I thought I was going crazy feeling like the spiritual “lone ranger” although knowing there are many enlightened entrepreneurs’ waiting to co- create a better world. I am ready, been ready and want to step up and lead in the moment of NOW! Now now now is the time!!!

    Although I was not able to attend the retreat, I set the intention, and before I manifested the money to attend, the retreat sold out. The blessings came pouring in as I took action. I did not make it to the retreat; however, with the intention and heart desire to lead and push forward with love releasing fear, I have received many blessings!

    An abundance of money started to flow into my presence. I received email a check is in the mail unclaimed property (after 8 yrs), another deposit was made in my Pay Pal account, a new salon/spa has an opening for a therapist (which became ME)…now my business is up and running within a spiritual community! (after 2yrs of manifesting and rebuilding my business) I am truly blessed, and there is more…but I will leave it at that.

    I am happy with the fact that I have chosen to fight and face fear…face the resistance and allow things to flow rather than try to “control”. I let go and let my spirit lead and it has worked for me repeatedly. When I believe…when I have faith in what I believe…I always prosper in a very BIG way! What a blessing! Thanks Max! for stepping up and creating Self-centered realities!!!! :)

    Namaste’
    Jeannine

    I have become and expert at
    diving into the unknown,
    it is where I feel most comfortable,
    it is where I belong.

    I returned last month
    after traveling all year,
    nothing has exited me since,
    thus…I love this fear.

    Only if Asia is the backdrop
    keep the videos coming please!
    Allow your travels to inspire you,
    and fill you with new ease.

  42. avatar Erin Schnack says:

    Max,

    Keep ‘em comming! You have truly helped me take my business to the next level through your teaching and support. Less than three months ago I was stuck at barely paying the rent…now, thanks to your enlightened entrepreneur training, I have a vision that is in line with my values, I have a website, paying clients, and my first event is nearly sold out…I can’t tell you how excited I am!

    I have a question about feeling it in the body/making conscious decisions. How can I tell the difference between it actually being the wrong choice for me and fear?

    Thank you for all you do!!!

    All the physical symptoms of fear and mind chatter can put us into paralysis or we can move into the next, expanded chapter of our lives!

  48. avatar Jo'rell says:

    Max,

    I’ll be the first to say that I havent’ been able to keep up with all that you’ve done here on self-centered….but I remember how SC came into my life and how in-lined it was with everything I was learning and re-learning…how perfectly on time it was. And though I haven’t used the site as a daily source, everytime i’ve been directed back here, I hear exactly what I need at the exact moment. Just as I did with this video. I urge and encourage you to keep posting, and dive deeper into what you already know to be necessary for so many people. I am grateful for you.

    Just hearing your voice motivates me. I would love to see more videos. THANK YOU for all you do!

  50. Great stuff Max…..glad to have you as a teacher!

    I’m super psyched for this weekend!

    Love to see more videos.

  52. avatar Nichole says:

    I am in the business of rebalancing peoples energy, vitality, and mental health so that their bodies can function optimally. All through TCM, other various treatments, and yogic alignment.
    I completely agree with thinking of yourself as a facilitator rather than a healer. I find it’s easier to tell someone I am an acupuncturist or a yoga teacher, however in my own mind I know I am simply letting the patients body heal itself by removing obstruction, tonifying qi, ect. And I also know that my hands are merely placing the needles in a spot. The neddle and the patients body is actually doing the work. I am part of the transformation process but I am not the “healer.”

  53. avatar sophie Burrough says:

    Hello Max, let me tell you what my business is.
    I make very beautiful and comfortable shoes, that make us feel sooo good and grounded! They are custom made, and you can choose the leathers, the colours and even personalise them with a sign, a symbol you like etc…
    The Native americans inspired me more than 15 years ago and so i went my way, thanx to them!
    In those shoes, you can walk in the nature and be so silent that even a wild boar wouldn t hear you passing by … And this is one of the least advantages you ll discover by wearing them as time makes them better!!
    Voila, kind greetings from Sophie, the amazing shoemaker (hope the retreat was good)

  54. avatar Betty says:

    Hi Max,
    I love to help people feel great and look younger than they really are,by providing quality skin care that can diminish fine lines and also provide nutrition to the body .
    Would you like to know how that might be?

  55. avatar JMC says:

    Hi Max,
    Thanks for your videos :)
    I help people tap into their True Essence to live their authentic lives!
    It is very cool!
    Peace and Grace,

  56. avatar Ken says:

    Yes Max,

    Keep your thought process positive by creating more and more videos on helping those who want to become just a successful as you are. I for one will watch and respond to them. The only way to learn is find someone who already has done it and follow their lead. So keep em coming.
