We just got the footage from our last live event and I wanted to share an entire section with you… just because you’re in this amazing tribe of big-vision entrepreneurs!

And I’ll tell you, I also have an ulterior motive… which is to inspire you to register for our next live event while the early-bird rate is still open to you (ends this Friday).

So check out this video, soak up all the juicy knowledge about the 5 things to stop doing right now that are preventing you from making more money in your business…

… And then go register for The Enlightened Entrepreneur Experience while you still can.

What are you going to stop doing? Leave a comment below!

These problems can be easily solved by getting clear on YOUR TRIBE, the people you are meant to serve and…

YOUR TRACK, the area of focus for your business.

Watch this content-rich video that shows you exactly how to find your tribe and track so that you can finally start making the type of money you truly deserve.

And please leave a comment with what you learned.

Sharing the stage with John Assaraf!

That was, without a question of a doubt, the most powerful, TRANSFORMATIONAL, fun, and successful event of my entire life!

I mean WOW! Double WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!!!

Not only was it our BIGGEST and most PROFITABLE event to date, but it was also filled with the most love, gratitude, and connection from the people in attendance (the tribe). In fact, watch this short video from some of the people who were there to get a feeling of what really took place…

WOW! You see what I mean?

And because you probably weren’t one of the lucky few to be there in person, let me share with you some of the most valuable and juicy lessons I learned from this last Sold-Out Seminar Secrets event that will DEFINITELY support your business growth:

1) The fastest way to become a recognized global leader (and a successful entrepreneur) is to stand for something that you truly believe in, and be 1000% willing shout out your truth to all those who will listen. You see, most people are really passionate about what they do, yet they are so afraid to take a stand for what they believe in because they want to be liked by all (and thus, don’t want to turn anyone off).

Throughout the weekend, I watched as people became more and more confident about what they were doing and who they were here to serve until their presence, energy, and voice was so captivating, so powerful, and so attractive that it was  EASY to see why they would be successful from this point forward….at least to the people who were excited (and ready) to listen.

2) If you have a huge heart but you’ve been holding back because you’re afraid that business and love don’t mix….get over it. That holding back energy is what is preventing you from making the biggest difference. This was a big theme at the event, because so many people were told to hide themselves in business. They were told nonsense lies like: “You can’t have a big heart and make money. You have to be tough.”

I call B*LLSH*T!!

Once again, we saw people that had been trained to use certain tactics and follow certain guidelines to grow their business that weren’t in alignment with their core truth….and in the process, they lost their connection to their heart and soul. Yet when we gave them permission (and the right tools) to bring their loving & passionate energy back into their business, we watched these people LIGHT UP and become magnets to the people they serve.

In fact, one woman just sent me a note this morning that she has already generated $10,000 in new business IN JUST TWO DAYS from what she learned at our event….and to make that even sweeter, she’s never even had a $10,000 month!

3) You can’t build a business by being concerned about what other people will think of you. When you focus your energy and attention on what you’re afraid of, all you see are the opportunities to reinforce those fears.

Instead, become determined and focused on your vision to serve a specific tribe and move forward regardless of what some people might say. You are in business to serve your people, not impress your peers or satisfy your family. Sometimes you will get it right, sometimes you will get it wrong. That’s not the point.

The point is to create and follow your own vision. If you don’t, you will waste way too much time and energy worrying about what others think….and that’s no way to live your life or grow your business.

Lastly, it’s critically important to surround yourself with Enlightened Entrepreneurs, at all times. Most people think you’re crazy for doing what you do, for taking risks, for stepping into your power. We don’t.

When you are around people who inspire you, motivate you, teach you, and support you…you have permission to play a bigger game. You get courage. You get gusto. And that is EXACTLY what you need to make a difference in this world.

In fact, it’s absolutely imperative.

So….if you were at the event, please leave a comment to share your experience with the rest of the tribe. I’m sure everyone would love to hear your take-away.

If you didn’t make this round, please share your thoughts about this post…

Much love,

Max

“Then Read Every Single Word In This Letter To
Discover Your Opportunity…”

(And Apply By The Deadline Wed, February 10^th)

From the Desk of Max Simon
Sunday, February 7th
Santa Monica, CA

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.

A few times a year, I get to do something deeply profound and magical…

…With 70-100 of the most remarkable conscious entrepreneurs on the planet.

…In a beautiful location that always feels like a fairytale.

…With the world’s greatest leaders and speakers in business and personal development.

Do you know what it is?

I get to put on an utterly unique, one-of-a-kind business retreat that merges wealth creation, magnetic conscious marketing, and authentic leadership with consciousness and love. It’s called The Enlightened Entrepreneur Experience.

…And it’s that time again.

On February 18-21 in Corona, CA, we’re holding our first 2010 Retreat…And this one will be the most powerful, profound, life-changing, paradigm-shifting one yet.

If you’re interested in learning more, GO HERE now…

And if you want to come, get your ticket now because I can absolutely guarantee that this event will SELL OUT again.

How do I know?

Because my existing coaching clients have already snatched up a good chunk of the seats and there are only 47 left (and the amazing speakers that will be at this event could fill that many seats on their own).

So make sure to VISIT THIS PAGE RIGHT NOW if you’re interested in getting an invite. I would absolutely love to see you live!

“I finally understand how to value myself the way I deserve.”

“My passion and purpose is fully re-ignited!”

These are just a few of the things I heard from participants this weekend during our SOLD-OUT Enlightened Entrepreneur Experience. To say that it was life-changing would be a huge understatement.

And while I could go on, and on, and on about the magic that occurred, I instead want to share with you some of the learning lessons from this weekend.

Consider it a behind-the-scenes sneak peak.

During the event, I unveiled the 10 Secrets To Becoming Enlightened Entrepreneur. One of them was: “Design Your Business Around Your Life, NOT Your Life Around Your Business.”

You see, I travel constantly to speak at other business events and I always meet great-hearted people who are totally stressed out, un-centered, and well, feeling crazy.

As a result, they aren’t having very much fun, are feeling perpetually anxious and frustrated, and just don’t “feel” very good.

This is because they have put so much focus on growing their business that their life has gone down the drain.

So…Let me be the first to tell you that this is totally UN-NECESSARY!!!

People always say things like: “Well, when I make enough money, then I will have the time to take better care of myself.”

While it’s true that more abundance CAN = more freedom, there’s no golden rule that says it’s going to happen that way….unless YOU start making the “enjoy your life” thing a priority NOW!

If you’ve lost yourself in your business, it’s time to take a step back and look at what’s really important to you.

Do you want to spend more time with the people you love?
Do you want to go on more adventures?
Do you want to do more yoga?

What do you really want for your life, and how can you design your business around these desires?

Start to put these things into action NOW; no matter what financial place you’re in, because they will keep you feeling alive, happy, and vibrant. This energy will translate into helping your business grow, thus creating more abundance and wealth for you.

See how this works? You take care of yourself…that helps you take care of your business…that helps you make the money…which allows you to bring in more help so that you have even more time to do what you love.

I know it’s possible because this is EXACTLY how I run my business….and how I’m helping all of my coaching clients to run theirs…and it’s working beautifully.

For example (in our company), we have a golden rule that the first 90 minutes of EVERY SINGLE DAY is devoted to rigorous self-care. And there are 4 pillars – silence (meditation), movement (yoga), inspiration (reading), nourishment (healthy food). No matter what, everyone on our team begins their day this way to ensure that we are centered, balanced, and happy right from the start.

To bring YOU into this conversation, leave a comment below with:

“What Will You Do This Week, That’s Something You Love, That Has Been Lost In The Shuffle Because Of External Circumstances?”

As always, I LOVE reading your thoughts….

Much love,

Max
