In addition to real estate investments, Maxwell became the first African American sports agent for the Western sport of Professional Bull Riders (PBR) IN 2018. His agency represents some of the top bull riders in the nation including Ezekiel Mitchell who is at the top of his game as one of the best bull riders in the world. Maxwell’s path of entrepreneurship has also led to the creation of two software companies which continue to outpace competitors.
As a first generation American of Jamaican descent Maxwell knows what it means to give back and continues to pour into the community where who grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina where he graduated from West Forsyth High School in 2002.

If you could actually measure Max Maxwell’s reach, it would span across the globe. While Maxwell is best known in the public eye as one of the top real estate investors in the United States, he continues to soar to new heights as a serial entrepreneur. With $300 in his bank account and the determination not to become a statistic, Maxwell was able to built a multi-million dollar real estate investment company in less than three years.
Many often ask how Maxwell orchestrates and closes deals? The answer is failure. Maxwell learned from mistakes and failures and applied those lessons to build financial freedom.
Unlike most entrepreneurs you can add Pilot to his resume (and by the way, he was hands on with engineering his own plane). In an effort to define success on his own terms, Maxwell put unconventional systems in place to become a leader in his multiple industries while teaching people the importance of financial literacy. Maxwell’s ability to connect with people from all walks of life continues to push him full throttle into a category of uncharted territory for entrepreneurs.
In 2021, Max Maxwell’s business ventures reached new heights amid the turbulence of a global pandemic. So, what’s the secret? How does a man with a few hundred dollars in the bank build a multimillion-dollar real estate investment company while branching off into other industries? Maxwell’s runway to success barely got off the ground in 2008. In fact, it was grounded.
An empty bank account forced Maxwell out on the street. Homelessness, failed business ventures and depression became the catalysts for change. While living in a park Maxwell realized his life was spiraling in the wrong direction.
Those challenges became the thrust to take flight. Just like a plane needs adverse winds to take off, Maxwell’s challenges came full force as the lift he needed to reach his goals and take others along for the journey to build generational wealth.
The son of Jamaican immigrants Maxwell was determined to make sure the sacrifice of his parents did not go in vain.
That drive to stay ahead of the ever-changing world of investing, wholesaling and innovation created the spark to give others the tools needed to unlock their full potential by thinking S.M.A.R.T.
The Journey with MAX MAXWELL
S.M.A.R.T Mindset
S
Separate: Break away from old habits, reset and put in the time. Separate yourself from the pack by setting goals that prove how much you are willing to sacrifice for financial freedom.
M
Mindset: We all view life from a different lens. When you adjust the focus, at heart, most people are striving for success on their own terms. The freedom to have what you define as measured success “on your terms” starts with shifting your way of thinking to an abundance mindset. When you invest in yourself, never be afraid to bet on yourself. Go big!
A
Acknowledge: I’ll bet you can recognize your top three strengths right now. How about your weaknesses? Make a list and admit to the areas you need to work on. If you can’t fix it, surround yourself with people who will strengthen to your weaknesses and make your goals achievable. Never leave yourself exposed.
R
Repetition: Try, try and…try again! Success can’t be measured by hitting your goals out the park on every shot. Be willing to nurture your deals, re-evaluate your losses and our wins then try again. Not every deal has to be a jackpot. Build, aim and when you eventually hit your target then it’s time to wash, rinse and repeat.
T
Time: Striking while the iron is hot isn’t always the best time to go all in. If everybody is doing it, it’s a waste of time because your margin for profit will be small. Being innovative is a key component to ensure that your business is set apart from the rest and is timely for the climate of your industry. As an entrepreneur there just isn’t enough time but when you learn how to manage it, you’ll start to establish checkpoints that keep you on track to your goal.
