guidance to grow

Ever since I posted that last video for you, I’ve been doin’ a lot of thinkin’…

You see, I’ve experienced some pretty great “success in business” lately.

… We’ve have multiple six-figure launches and live events.

… I’ve been invited to share the stage with many of my mentors and idols like John Assaraf and Janet Attwood.

… I now have an awesome team of 8, helping to run pretty much every aspect of our business.

… And we’re helping tens of thousands of people all over the world to get their message out, make a bigger difference in the world, and create the type of wealth and abundance you deserve.

And yet, there’s more to do…

Because so many people are still struggling… financially… energetically… emotionally… in their business.

And in a flash of light, I got an insight into why.

Check it out:

Do you agree?

Please share your thoughts below

Hi there,

This feels important for me to share with you…

This weekend, I had a powerful realization about something that has probably effected both of us.

… It’s about being OUT-OF-ALIGNMENT, and what that does to your focus.

What are your thoughts? Please share…I would love to hear from you.

Much love,

Max

P.S. Here is the LINK to the event from this weekend. She’s amazing!!

“I have a funny story to tell you that’s a mix of divine comedy and paradoxical satire.”

Earlier this week, I said goodbye to my Los Angeles home and packed up to head down South to a little town called Carmel Valley. It’s a special place that’s right on the perimeter of a city called Del Mar, which is about a mile and half away from my dad’s home (and my family)…

… and if you were to ask me a nice way to describe the new neighborhood, I would say “suburbia“.

Which makes me laugh, because I went from living in one of the hippest and most happening areas in Los Angeles (Santa Monica) to almost overnight, being in track-home central surrounded by family parks and screaming kids.

… But I’m close to my dad…and that’s really all that matters right now.

So laugh with me…

… Because that’s really the best way to handle a situation like this….with comedy.

Seriously, can you see how hilarious and interesting life is!?!? If my so-called “plans” unfolded the way my consciousness was intending, I would currently be living on the tropical island of Maui (Hawaii) on a large plot of land surrounded by fruit trees and waterfalls…

… And instead, I am here, right now, in San Diego, in a big house, with a nice yard, and new carpet. What a trip…

So what’s the point?

… You may be thinking to yourself (because that’s what I would be doing if I was reading this….haha).

The point is that life is mysterious, magical, and un-known. No matter how much you attempt to predict and control your circumstances, it is absolutely inevitable that, at some point, something will happen that will dramatically and drastically shift you from your course.

And guess what….there is nothing you can do about it.

So the question is not: “how do you prevent these types of things from happening?” but rather “how are you going to handle them when they do?”

… Are you going to dwell in your story, and take every opportunity to attract sympathy and remorse from others (because they will give it to you)?

… Or are you going to experience the circumstance fully, learn every lesson that you can, and take every opportunity to transmute this energy into something good and useful?

Because…

What I have learned over the years is that life is nothing more than a perspective… A vantage point… A string of decisions.

… And how enjoyable, rich, happy, loving, and grateful you are comes down to one thing… what perspective you take..

So here’s my question to you?

How are you going to handle your current reality?

… Are you going to see your circumstances as a barrier to the fulfillment of your desires?

Or are you going to find a way turn them into something positive, something useful, that lights a fire under you to really help people in a way that you never have before…with courage and passion.

Because I’ll be honest with you…

That is exactly what I feel like is happening to me these days.

As time feels more and more precious, and as I am faced with even more challenging, crazy, unexpected circumstances…

… I feel an even deeper sense of duty, purpose, and responsibility to share these profound life-lessons with you, in a way that you really get, in the hopes that they will help you experience more happiness, joy, fulfillment in your life immediately…

… because this brings me great joy.

Which, if you can see, is pretty amazing because for so long, business has been such a source of pain and suffering for so many people. Yet today, it can be the very thing that brings you an exceptional amount of joy and comfort…even in times of intense pain and transformation.

… Which is why I am so passionate and committed to teaching you everything I can so you can create a business that gives you this same freedom and opportunity.

Because I’ll say this: Between being able to share these stories with you, and having an absolute kick-ass awesome team that continues to drive our business forward in remarkably powerful ways…

I am grateful. Truly. Deeply. Authentically

Share your thoughts…

If this personal letter inspired you, angered you, excited you, comforted you, or made you feel funny (no, not the sliding down the rope in gym class kinda funny)…

Please leave a comment below.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoy reading your expressions.

Much love,

Max

P.S. As of this morning, we had 12 spots left for Get Centered Fast….so I imagine they will be gone by the end of the weekend. If you need support in shaping a life perspective that serves you, CLICK HERE to watch the short video…

With my father’s recent life-threatening situation, many people have asked about how I can stay so remarkably centered and focused in the midst of such an ultra challenging and uncertain time.

And that answer to that question is something that is more close and dear to my heart than just about anything I teach or talk about.

Let me tell you a story…

I was born in 1982, which makes me 27 as of today. For some of you, that might come as a shock that someone so young could build a 7-figure business so quickly (there’s a clear reason for this…which I will explain later in this story).

You see…

Growing up, my parents practiced things that seemed totally BIZARRE and FOREIGN to the western world. They would eat vegetarian meals, chant Sanskrit mantras, talk about the expansion of consciousness…

… and meditate for hours every day.

And boy, did people think it was weird.

Yet there was something funny that people just couldn’t put their finger on. Even though my parents did these strange and unorthodox things, they were so kind and supportive…they would embrace you, they would comfort you, and they would take care of you.

And it didn’t stop there!

They stood for these practices and this way of life. My father joined forces with Deepak Chopra, authored 12 books, and became one of the world’s leading experts for integrating mind-body medicine into our western paradigm.

My mom devoted her life to being an influential part of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) movement, and taught every person she could about how to find inner connection and peace.

… Not to mention that she was an exceptional mother who focused her energy on raising me with these tools and practices as a daily part of my life.

You see, they were both so utterly focused on bringing these tools to the world in an easy-to-embrace, easy-to-digest way.

And mind you…

This was WAY BEFORE any of this was even close to being accepted. It’s a little difficult to comprehend, but really get that there were no yoga studios in every town, magazines weren’t talking about the life-changing benefits of meditation, and being a vegetarian was almost like a rebellion.

Yet what my parents did exceptionally well, and trained me to do even better, was to take foreign, new, seemingly hard to understand and embrace concepts and tools, and translate them in a way that people could easily digest and absorb.

… to take things that most thought they could (or would) never do, and show them how easy it could be to integrate them into life and experience profound mental and physical breakthroughs.

So this became my focus.

I would learn new tools, sit with different masters, and have new experiences… and then I would FOCUS on discovering the most powerful and precise way to make this wisdom more easily accessible to the people around me.

In a strange way, I’ve always known that this was my purpose in life…To make it easier for people to assimilate great knowledge and wisdom.

So when I became the YOUNGEST instructor in the history of The Chopra Center while building their products division into a multi-million dollar business, I was known as “the mini David Simon.”

Funny…that used to bug me….but now it seems like the greatest honor of all times.

And this is where I trained thousands…

Through my time as the lead educator at the Chopra Center, I helped people from all around the world to learn the tools and techniques that would change their lives forever…

… I taught people how to quiet their endless mind chatter and experience new levels of clarity and focus.

… I showed people how to connect to a space inside that was free from limitations and old stories.

… I gave people direct access to their field of pure potential, where they could easily manifest their deepest intentions and desires.

… I helped people to feel comfortable and satisfied in their body, in ways they had never been before.

And I was no exception…

Every day, I would use these very same tools, without fail, no matter what…

And when it came time for me to leave my nice comfortable job at the Chopra Center to start my own business and take the leap into total uncertainty, I used these tools to keep me calm.

As I struggled, and struggled, and struggled in my first years of my business and watched as my life savings drained down to nothing because of poor choices and a lack of knowledge about how to be successful as an entrepreneur, I used these tools to keep me in a space of trust and moving forward.

And as I finally locked into my unique genius, my life purpose, and my business started accelerating at such a pace that quite frankly scared me because of how fast things were moving, I used these tools to remain open and focused, taking one step forward at a time.

Now I don’t talk about it very much, but I believe without a question of a doubt that the tools are the FUNDAMENTAL ingredient for my success as an entrepreneur.

Because they give me the power to move forward, even when everything feels intensely uncertain. Because they give me the clarity to make right decisions, quickly. Because they give me a sense of calm and peace, even though the world around me is seeming to reflect a different perspective.

I’m sharing this with you because…

Later on this week, for the first time ever, I am going to sharing these tools with you in a new program I created called “Get Centered Fast.”

In my eyes, this is a truly one-of-a-kind body of knowledge that has drawn from my years of experience as a teacher at The Chopra Center and my experience of becoming a successful entrepreneur.

It is the perfect tool for the busy mind, who never has enough time, and is always looking to accomplish more.

… and the best news is that I am making it truly accessible to EVERYONE, regardless of your current financial state. This knowledge is too important to hold back…

The complete details will show up in your inbox soon, assuming you are an inside member of this tribe (you can sign up at the very top of this page if you are not).

I believe this is something that will benefit you in the deepest and most profound ways…and I look forward to seeing you thrive with this support.

This program is now available for you. Click here to check it out…

Much love,

Max

Please leave a comment below…it’s very important.

After what was arguably the most intense business growth period of my life, I arrived in Maui yesterday for a 10-day personal retreat.

And while I’ve got some great story’s to share with you about this (later), there’s a much greater purpose behind this post….

…About why you might be stuck at a certain success plateau and not even know it.

To prove it, let me tell you a personal story.

Currently, I reside in Los Angeles, CA… and to be honest, it’s not really where I want to live anymore (and I’ve felt this way for at least 9 months).

So with this level of clarity, you might ask yourself: “So why the heck have you stayed there for so long Max (you idiot)?

And I’ll tell you why…

Because despite the fact that it has been uncomfortable, I’m already there! Meaning, even though it’s not the best case scenario, I’m already familiar with it so there is a certain level of comfort and dependability staying put.

Which if you go to a deeper level, really means that I have a fear of change…of the unknown….of being in uncertainty.

… which is why taking a leap into something new can feel more intimidating and scary than dealing with your current reality.

Can you relate?

So here’s what I have done to START to shift my reality…

• I’ve put my notice in to leave Santa Monica without a clue about where I’m going to call home next…
• I’ve asked my assistant to sell or give away pretty much everything I own (gotta love detachment)…
• I’ve returned to Maui to lock into a creative, visionary space and figure out what I really want…
• I’m doing a WHOLE LOT of meditation and yoga to stay centered and clear (this is necessary)…

Why am I sharing this with you?

Because if you’re reading this right now, I imagine you’re a lot like me. You see yourself as a visionary. You have a big bold desire to make a difference in the world. You prize freedom as your highest value…

… And, you have become pretty comfortable in your discomfort.

So while you know that it’s possible for you to have more success, more wealth, more freedom, and more impact…

… The steps necessary for you to get there seems more challenging and intense than actually staying exactly where you are.

And in case you didn’t get this message loud and clear as you read this, understand that this pesky little resistance to change is also the EXACT reason for why you have not created the wealth, freedom, and impact you desire.

Because if you want these things, and you don’t have them right now, that’s definitely a sign that it’s time for a major shift…

Right?

If your asking “OK Max, what do I do from there then?” And here’s my response:

1. Allow yourself to suffer. I know that sounds intense, but one of the things I say ALL THE TIME is “You won’t change until you suffer enough.” Because until you really FEEL the discomfort, you won’t have the URGENCY to do things differently. So start by allowing yourself to really feel the frustration of your circumstance. It will be excellent motivation to change…
2. Get out of your environment. The reason I take SO MANY little trips away is because it always helps me get a bigger perspective…and fast. If you’re feeling stuck, plan a mini-weekend retreat. Just get away. Go some place quiet. Some place with nature. Just GO! You’ll see how STUCK you really are by your resistance to leaving quickly….even if it’s just for a few days.
3. Immerse yourself in learning. Whenever I don’t know what to do, I become an excellent STUDENT again. Go to courses, listen to audio programs, read books, etc. People create these things in their moments of sheer brilliance. When you’re not feeling that way, utilize their amazing resources as your guidance tools.As a total side note, this is an AWESOME opportunity for you to learn from some “ordinary” people who are doing extraordinary things…
4. Surround yourself with Enlightened Entrepreneurs. I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again. Most people think you are crazy for taking the risks you do, standing in your truth the way you do, and driving your business forward the way you do. We don’t. We appreciate it, support it, and encourage it. So when you say you need space, to clarify, to re-charge, to get-away….we get it….and that gives you permission to go with it.

I could go on and on about this….but I’m going to remove myself from my addiction to create content for you and go swim in the ocean instead. In a funny way, that feels more scary and challenging to me than continuing to create stuff like this for you.

So if you enjoyed this and got something of value, please share your thoughts below.

Much love,

Max

P.S. Got any great people for me to connect with while I’m here in Maui?
