Dear Enlightened Entrepreneur,
If you’re reading this, it means that you have a deep burning desire in your heart to create a successful business that’s truly aligned with your authentic purpose and makes a powerfully positive difference in the world.
Yet often times, circumstances arise that “seem” to get in the way of your fulfillment of your desires…
…Maybe you don’t think you have enough money.
…Maybe you don’t think you have enough skills or knowledge.
…Maybe you don’t even know what’s stopping you, but something is.
Regardless, the outcome is the same.
Instead of taking action to get the training, wisdom, and energy to move forward powerfully…
You get stuck….
And miss out on opportunities that will propel you forward.
And here’s the kicker
You know that the only thing ever stops you from accomplishing your goals is FEAR.
Fear that you won’t be enough…Fear that you won’t have enough…Fear that you can’t do enough.
And this fear can be paralyzing.
Yet given the right push at the right time by the right person, it’s very possible that you could break through your fears and step into an entirely new place of power, clarity, and presence.
And guess what?
I am that person for you
If you feel that you are truly ready to make this shift and become the Enlightened Entrepreneur that you know you can be…
This is your opportunity.
In a few weeks (Feb 18-21), we have an absolutely paradigm-shifting business retreat called The Enlightened Entrepreneur Experience.
http://www.EnlightenedEntrepreneurExperience.com
Many people have invested up to $1,997.00 to be there.
Yet I was just told 5 spaces opened up over the weekend (because we were SOLD OUT and then a few people had to move to the next event)…
And because it is our desire to help entrepreneurs who are truly ready to make a quantum leap in their success, impact, and earning potential…
We have decided to open up one very small round of scholarships for the last 5 seats.
Which means that you can WIN an $1,800 scholarship that will allow you to attend this event for just $197.
And let me be honest with you
I don’t believe that people receive even close to the same amount of value when they are not fully invested in showing up.
But money is just one form of energy exchange and since we love playing on multiple levels, we have decided to create the space for a few people to attend this life-changing event ON SCHOLARSHIP.
But let me be clear: this opportunity is only available to you if YOU ARE TRULY READY TO STEP UP AND LEAD!
Because if you want the spot…
We’re not going to make it easy on you.
In the past, we have offered scholarships to people without making sure that they were 1000% committed to showing up, being fully present, and taking massive action.
And we won’t make that mistake again.
So if you want to apply for a scholarship, I’m going to let you know right now that we’re intentionally trying to weed out the people who aren’t fully committed.
Because this event has attracted the highest-level conscious entrepreneurs on the planet and we want to protect the integrity and energy of the space we’re creating.
So if you want to win, you’re going to have to go DEEP inside of yourself and get into the real motivation for why you feel like you’re ready to show up.
And then you have to communicate it to us in such a way where we can feel you…
So if you’re still with me, here’s your next step
First off, please only apply if you really need this scholarship, because we’re not doing this just to give away tickets. We’re doing this to truly help a few hungry, full-of-potential entrepreneurs who might not otherwise be able to come.
Secondly, you must follow these instructions to the T. Ignore one step and you will be automatically withdrawn from this opportunity.
Got it?
And remember: Be real. Be honest. And be bold. This is an elite group you’re entering. Show up strong for it and the rewards will likely change your life forever.
Step 1) Make sure you are available to attend the event by reviewing the details here.
Step 2) Leave a comment below making your commitment to participate fully in this scholarship process, and share any intentions you have.
Step 3) In a word doc, answer each of the following questions in your most compelling tone:
What is your name?
What is your business?
What’s your URL?
Where do you live?
What are your core gifts?
How much money do you want to create this year?
What’s the vision for your business?
What specific business strategies are you most interested in learning?
What are your 3 greatest challenges right now?
Why do you think this event would be a turning point for you?
How would you make a positive contribution to the event?
If accepted, you will need to invest a non-refundable $197 and cover your own housing ($125 per night). Can you do this without complaining or hesitating?
Why you?
Step 4) Send your answers to ERIKA@GETSELFCENTERED.COM no later than Wed morning at 9 am PST with the headline: “I am committed to showing up.”
Step 5) You will receive a return email with one more set of simple questions. You must send back your answers by Thursday morning at 9 am PST and the winners will be announced on Friday morning.
Are you going to jump on this?
You have a phenomenal opportunity right now.
Does it require you to do a little work and take a little action? Yes.
Will it pay off if you do? Beyond your wildest dreams.
So are you going to look at this opportunity as a gift? An opening? A golden thread?
Or are you going to doubt yourself, push it aside, and let it slip by?
If you’re still reading this right now, I think you know the answer.
Good luck. I’m looking forward to seeing you LIVE in a few weeks.
Much love,
Max
P.S. Remember to send in your answers by Wed morning at 9 am Pacific. And if you’re mind is saying “I probably won’t win so I’m not even going to try,” look at that and make a different choice. I believe you have something special in you. Let’s see you believe that too.


I intend to fully show-up in my life, to be engaged, and to act out of joy and inspiration. I am extremely blessed and I have every reason to believe that the blessings will keep on coming!
I am hereby making my full 1000%+ commitment to participate fully in this scholarship process. I will answer all questions honestly without holding back and will have my application in before the deadline. My intention is to be an empty vessel that will soak up all the learning while also contributing to the tribe in any way possible. By attending this event, I willingly make the transformation towards my successful business so that together, we can all make a positive difference in the world.
I AM TRULY READY TO STEP UP AND LEAD! I am hereby wholeheartedly committed to participate. I believe fully that this is an amazing opportunity and I am excited to work with you, Max. I intend to make this an unforgettable step in my journey of success!
Thank Deeply!
Thank you for this learning opportunity. Ouch, sorry just a growing pain, even leaving this comment….. But I took an action to move forward from love and not fear. Yeah
I feel that this course has been put together specifically for me, the reasons to attend describe me as I am now, I am currently stuck and at a loss what to do next.
I want to win this scholarship and promise to fully 100% participate in the event. I AM ready to take action. It is my intention to take on board fully all that is shared with me as I want to have direction in my life and to be 100% successful.
I have put a lot of effort and too much money into my Ayurvedic clinic and do not want to give up now. I know that I can help others heal and thrive but need help, inspiration and guidance on how to move forward.
By fully participating and engaging with the other participants at this event I believe that I will learn all that is needed to to improve my confidence and have the direction and tools to move forward to the success I desire and deserve.
I appreciate this opportunity that you are offering to those of us who are less financially endowed. You will have my full attention and involvement if selected for a scholarship. I am extremely interested in coming up to speed on each and every thing I have heard and read so far.
I am 3000% committed. My intention is to win this scholorship!
I am truly ready to step-up and lead. I am completely committed to showing up, being fully present and taking action. I also feel very passionate about being aligned with people that understand the importance of integrity and energy in a creative supportive space. I will open-heartedly answer any and all questions and look forward to the challenge created wtihin myself to evolve to the next highest level. I am ready to show up…2010 is the year! I have been in a deep cultivation process and now am excited with enthusiasm to burst out into fullness.
I am 100% committed to this assignment. I had the pleasure of meeting Max recently at the Rose Temple and I was truly impressed with his presentation and style. I love the fact that he steps out of the box and does what’s authentic to him…for example, not wearing shoes. LOVED that! Quite a few things stood out to me at that seminar but two words have been rewinding in my head since that day; TAKE ACTION. I am taking action by following your instructions to a “T” and giving my full attention to answering each question authentically. I look forward to this journey. EXCITING!
Wow I have been watching the number of seats dwindling for this event; I knew it would sell out. I made an effort to get someone else to join me in this life changing experience for the buy one and have someone join you for only $497, a great deal split 2 ways! But I could find no one who was willing to take the step. I knew that February being a short month was going to be financially challenging, so I needed to put my resources into little things like my home and food. I felt my best opportunity to attend this seminar in this wonderful location had passed. I was disappointed that I was only stopped by money. I was raised poor and have done my best to not come from a place of poverty consciousness. I thought I should be past that phase of my life, yet there I was. Then the news that I could win a golden ticket and get to go to the chocolate factory, oh wait, wrong story, that I could receive a golden life line that could allow me to see how the true goodies in life are made. Then there it was again, that feeling in my heart that said I was supposed to be there! It said not to delay and not to wait until the next seminar. That inner voice then moved from a whisper, to an all consuming song of joy and possibility. Would I be deemed ready? Would my truth resonate in a way that would allow me to release the bonds of fear and move into my highest truth? I have waited for so long to be truly free. To not be alone in my journey, to not be the outsider looking in, to be a part of a like minded tribe. My intention is to share my genuine self and trust that my value will be recognized. See you at the questions…
I couldn’t be more commited, I asked God/Source to send me an opportunity to this event, two days later the email for this scholarship opportunity arrived in my email box. So I’m saying YES! I’ve listened to the call with Vishen and was blown away, I knew then I was supposed to be at this event. I am willing, motivated, determined and thrilled at the prospects in my life. I will joyfully committ to answering the questions, and to pursuing the direction of my dreams and contribution to the world. I know being in the company of so many amazing entrepreneurs sharing, and gaining clarity with a little push will mean every difference in going boldly forward. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this valuable opportunity.
Ah, syncrodestiny! Thank you Simon for the wisdom you share and for the wonderful invitation to apply for the upcoming Enlightened Entrepreneur Experience scholarship. What a gift. Reading your post and the invitation was like receiving virtual shaktipat!! WOW! Butterflies in my stomach and heart expansion! Your words zapped me right in 3rd & 4th chakra~all the way through the cyber-field! I am SO ripe for this enlightening experience and all YOU are offering. I have so many of the pieces already in place-years of study and teaching and living a life of passion. Yet there is still fear and pseudo-perfectionism holding me back from offering my full potential. I am teaching from a well-spring of abundance but feel I have so much to learn about integrating business with service. I know that the way I present my work needs refinement and clarity. The scholarship process itself has already begun to evoke more of my unique purpose. I have committed myself 1,000% to it’s unfolding. My intentions are: 1. to gain more clarity in the way I present my teaching and business 2. to fully integrate and live the paradigm shift, that I know and feel is already here. 3. to fully receive the support and inspiration to allow myself the freedom and courage to share my unique perspective. 4. to be a asset to YOUR vision 5. to participate fully and soulfully in the alchemy of the tribe, and this powerful event. I recognize that this is truly an opportunity of a life-time for me and the timing is perfect. I AM READY TO TAKE ACTION. Thank you for this opportunity. With gratitude~Krista
Hi Max
I would absolutely be able to attend and look forward to the opportunity. I need to get “unstuck” in progressing my business to the next level or elevate it to a more contemporary level. My personal reason is that I want to take charge and reset some growth goals and priorities. Like many I need to reboot and recharge. Most importantly I need to get a clear purpose, to set myself free and expand my life and business. I need to make the most of this life so I have no regrets as it progresses.
Thank You. Bob
YES! My intention is to receive this valuable gift & all the opportunities that will unfold as a result. My intention is to live the truth of who I am, share my joy, and keep getting out of the way so that I serve with integrity. My intention is to unite with my tribe so that we strengthen the web of life, raise the vibes and infuse this planet with change agents all about. It is my intention to give all that I am so that I feel the fulfillment of my aliveness and naturally create the space for others to do so as well. A few years ago when I returned from Africa, I pledged to do all I could to shift our world to “thrival” consciousness. This gathering is part of my pledge. Thank you. WAHOOO!

Wow Max! Your energy is incredible! I always knew that you had this bija planted deeply in that beautiful divine conscious based reality that you live in. Remember when we discovered the most delightful patch of grass (approx 12 in. by 12 in.) at SRF in Encinitas, seized the moment and enjoyed Sirsasana-right then and there! You mentioned that your Dad (who is so very much like the great Mahatma Gandhi) taught you how to engage in a way to actually achieve this glorious asana. And, look at you now! You have taken the success of this pose off the mat, and into the business realm. Wow! You have most definitely blossomed into a beautiful example in business leadership.
Business is most definitely not my forte-at all! I have been way too trusting and with people who are not authentic. I have learned so very much though, and understand that this did happen to me for a divine reason. I have embraced this with love, for sure. If you have a space that you feel I may benefit from, I would be so very honored to acquire a bit of that business sense that you have learned. Lord knows, I need it. I have an amazing gift in healing-so I have been told and personally witnessed- and how to deliver this to the Universe of Like Minded individuals who will appreciate and value its worth will not only serve myself and my precious daughter, but to all of those precious souls that I am so deeply honored to serve in my yoga and meditation practice- and also as a published author.
Love and many blessings,
Heather Frenner
I am deeply grateful for this opportunity to attend an event that I know can completely transform my life. My intention is to let go of old limiting beliefs that are not serving me anymore and become an empty vessel to receive all the wisdom from this event so I can awaken to my true power and take all the necessary steps to bring my vision into fruition. It is time to let my brilliance shine so I can fully contribute to the betterment of this world in partneship with all the enlightened entrepreneurs. My commitmment is to use all my gifts to be of service and lead with unconditional love and joy.
Dear sir,
Financially I am felled down. I have no money to invest you for scholership
But I have faith and confidence about me, to stand in my legs. please give reply and give a advise & support financially.
Thanks,
Joseph
I thought I sent in a post, but it didn’t list so i’ll send another one.
if my first one eventually shows, ignore this one ok?
Commitment at this point, to a workshop – something tangible, scheduled, orchestrated by someone else – is no problem at all. Because the essential dilemma I come with is the absence of a team, and the absence of financing. Can some team building and networking resolve the blockage? A new business plan? I’m game. Let’s find out. I’ve no reason not pursue every option.
This phenomenal opportunity keeps slapping me in the face! No more excuses as to why I will attend the “next one”. THIS EVENT is the one I need to be at.
So I am fully, 1000% committed and ready to show up, be fully present and take massive action!
I intend to throw open my heart & mind and absorb all that is offered by my tribe.
Now I Am.
I hereby commit to participate fully in this scholarship process! I intend to create success in my life, and to bring my creative vision for transformative business into reality.
I am committed to showing up!
Why me? I am already jumping!
I just got so much out of filling this out that I am laughing out loud right now!
Thank you for this opportunity!

Max,
What a wonderful opportunity!
I want to aknowlege you for recognizing
the possibilities of different forms of energy
exchange and the amaising dynamics that these
people with their inspiring intentions and projects
can bring to the retreat.
I also want to thank you for putting out there
the possibilities of community and play in the
world of powerfully doing business.
As opposed to the
“soul-sucking solo grind-all-others-to-the-ground”
way of business and commerce that seems to
have been predominant.
I look forward to embracing the
“money conversation” for what it can be…
I also want to aknowlege everyone who has
posted what they are up to here.
I’ve been inspired by what I’ve read.
Thank you,
Teresa Shea

I might be confused here but you’re offering a scholarship to an event that’s done? I would love to get on this money train everyone seems to be on but I seem to be getting the info too late! Max, you’re on gratitude blog? Your name seems familiar, I wasn’t aware you were one of the money making geniuses. I’m retired due to health reasons, Soc. Sec. poverty level but upcoming surgery should be helping that next month (hip replacement). I need a NEW CAREER and some coaching to help me how to do it. I worked in the convention business in Las Vegas, building exhibits. It trashed my body but I loved it. I’m learning about tapping but I don’t see that as my future. I need some help.
