<p>With my father&#8217;s recent <a href="http://getselfcentered.com/blog/please-watch-special-private-video-from-max/" target="_blank">life-threatening situation</a>, 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.</p>
<p>And that answer to that question is something that is <em><strong>more close and dear to my heart</strong></em> than just about anything I teach or talk about.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">Let me tell you a story&#8230;</span></h2>
<p>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&#8217;s <strong>a clear reason</strong> for this&#8230;which I will explain later in this story).</p>
<p>You see&#8230;</p>
<p>Growing up, my parents practiced things that seemed totally <strong>BIZARRE</strong> and <strong>FOREIGN</strong> to the western world. They would eat vegetarian meals, chant Sanskrit mantras, talk about the expansion of consciousness&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">meditate</span> for hours every day.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">And boy, did people think it was weird. </span></h2>
<p>Yet there was something funny that people just couldn&#8217;t put their finger on. Even though my parents did these strange and unorthodox things, they were so kind and supportive&#8230;they would embrace you, they would comfort you, and they would take care of you.</p>
<p><strong>And it didn&#8217;t stop there! </strong></p>
<p>They stood for these practices and this way of life. My father<a href="http://www.chopra.com/aboutus" target="_blank"> joined forces with Deepak Chopra</a>, authored 12 books, and became one of the world&#8217;s leading experts for integrating mind-body medicine into our western paradigm.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&#8230; 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.</p>
<p>You see, they were both so utterly focused on bringing these tools to the world in an <strong>easy-to-embrace</strong>, <strong>easy-to-digest </strong>way.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">And mind you&#8230; </span></h2>
<p>This was <span style="text-decoration: underline;">WAY BEFORE</span> any of this was even close to being accepted. It&#8217;s a little difficult to comprehend, but really get that there were no yoga studios in every town, magazines weren&#8217;t talking about the life-changing benefits of meditation, and being a vegetarian was almost like a rebellion.</p>
<p>Yet what my parents did exceptionally well, <strong>and trained me to do even better</strong>, 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.</p>
<p>&#8230; 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.</p>
<p><strong>So this became my focus.</strong></p>
<p>I would learn new tools, sit with different masters, and have new experiences&#8230; 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.</p>
<p>In a strange way, I&#8217;ve always known that this was my purpose in life&#8230;To make it <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>easier</strong></span> for people to assimilate great knowledge and wisdom.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;the mini David Simon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Funny&#8230;that used to bug me&#8230;.but now it seems like the greatest honor of all times.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">And this is where I trained thousands&#8230;</span></h2>
<p>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&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; I taught people how to <strong>quiet their endless mind chatter</strong> and experience new levels of clarity and focus.</p>
<p>&#8230; I showed people how to connect to a space inside that was <strong>free from limitations</strong> and old stories.</p>
<p>&#8230; I gave people direct access to their field of pure potential, where they could <strong>easily</strong> <strong>manifest their deepest intentions and desires.</strong></p>
<p>&#8230; I helped people to <strong>feel comfortable and satisfied in their body</strong>, in ways they had never been before.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">And I was no exception&#8230;</span></h2>
<p>Every day, I would use these very same tools, without fail, no matter what&#8230;</p>
<p>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, <strong>I used these tools to keep me calm</strong>.</p>
<p>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, <strong>I used these tools to keep me in a space of trust and moving forward</strong>.</p>
<p>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, <strong>I used these tools to remain open and focused, taking one step forward at a time</strong>.</p>
<p>Now I don&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">I&#8217;m sharing this with you because&#8230;</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">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 &#8220;<span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Get Centered Fast</strong></span>.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>It is the perfect tool </strong>for the busy mind, who never has enough time, and is always looking to accomplish more.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8230; 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&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The complete details will show up in your inbox soon, assuming you are an inside member of this tribe (<em>you can sign up at the very top of this page if you are not</em>).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I believe this is something that will benefit you in the deepest and most profound ways&#8230;and I look forward to seeing you thrive with this support.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">This program is now available for you. <a href="http://getcenteredfast.com/">Click here</a> to check it out&#8230;</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">Much love,</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Max</p>
