Unlocking personal mastery through truth is a powerful concept. It's about being honest with yourself in order to rise above mediocrity and attain such levels of success you've only ever dreamed about. Max states that the key to personal mastery is to get to know yourself a little better and take a step back to listen to your internal narratives objectively.

Knowing yourself is guaranteed to keep you on track and motivated. We all lose focus at times, but if we take the time to remember our purpose in life, it's much easier to get back to your North star. Listen to Max to learn more about keeping yourself centered and focused on achieving your goals!

Episode Highlights

01:01 - I think the thing that I'm aware of today is that boundaries have been the biggest hurdle in both my personal and my professional life. And I was completely unaware of that until I started working with my first business coach, and it shows up in relationships. It's very difficult to buy brand strategy to sell brand strategy. It's tough to price it. I became aware of the fact that I'm a huge people pleaser. It's just true that you don't have to love the strategy or the creative, but I really have a need in myself to get like an "Attaboy!" from the client, and I'm just aware of it. But I think the personal mastery really just boils down to one thing and it's truth, right? You just have to be able to tell yourself the truth about the stories in your head.
