What do Mark Cuban, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Elon Musk, and Barack Obama all have in common each day?

“In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time — none. Zero.” — Charlie Munger

What do Mark Cuban, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Elon Musk, and Barack Obama all have in common each day? They are all voracious readers who have reported to follow the 5-hour rule. Let’s dive into that today…

The 5-hour rule is a concept that involves spending one hour each weekday, learning, reflecting, and experimenting. It’s a practice embraced by many successful leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers.

The breakdown typically involves:

Reading (or other learning): Spend one hour each day reading books, articles, or other educational material to stay informed and continually expand your knowledge base.
Reflection: Dedicate time to reflect on your experiences, decisions, and challenges. Use this hour to gain insights, learn from mistakes, and refine your approach.
Experimentation (or application): Allocate one hour for experimenting with new ideas, applying new knowledge, or working on personal projects. Hands-on experience enhances understanding and skills.

Why I love it – The 5-hour rule is powerful because of its simplicity, and it enables me to be a thought leader and stay relevant in an ever-changing leadership environment. I am into making things simpler, less chaotic, more introspective – leading to expansion – and I invite you to join me and these other high-performing individuals.

What are you choosing to step into for 2024?

by Carmen Ohling | Dec 28, 2023 | Uncategorized

I hope you had a blessed, connected, joyful holiday earlier this week. Joal and I were home in Miami Beach creating new traditions, exploring, and being in a state of gratitude for our lives- it was very peaceful and fun!

As we go into the New Year, I want to encourage you to continue to create space in your life. Without space life is difficult to fully experience. Without experiences we are left feeling uncertain and unfulfilled. When we can love the world we live in, that’s when we can actually live in it!

What are you choosing to step into for 2024?

I am fully stepping into my significance as a natural leader and amplifier of gifts.

Here’s a quote I’d like for you to read and then sit with and discern for yourself, and I highly encourage journaling what comes up for you as well!

“The way to live a full life is to act quickly. Particularly as you grow older, it’s alarmingly easy to let a year or two (or five) slip by without doing the big things you always felt like doing. You get into a rhythm—not necessarily one you love, but one you become comfortable repeating—and the grooves of your daily routine become deeper and more established.

Speed is perpetually undervalued. That doesn’t mean you should feel frantic or rushed. In fact, it’s likely you should eliminate some of the things that make you feel so busy to make space for things you always wanted to do. But it definitely means you should stop letting the days drift by waiting for the moment to be right.

Stop acting like there is infinite time. This—the way you are living right now—is your one life.” – James Clear

Lastly, this year it’s not enough to know that you are enough. I want you to know that you’ve always done the best you can with what you had. I want you to know that you are amazing and unique, filled with gifts and strengths that at times you have forgotten.

2024 is the time for you to remember!

You are being called forward. We are all being calling forward to a newfound sense of energy and aliveness that illuminates the world. No matter what you’re feeling right now, know that this is true.

I see you. I believe in you. You are not alone. You are fully supported and loved. And, I am right here learning and growing with you.

If you are reading this you can feel my energy- know that I am here, and together in 2024 we are going to amplify our lives so that we can amplify our voices and BE THE ONE to illuminate the world!

You are truly a gift to the world, and the world needs more of you, First name / friend.

I love you.

Happy New Year,
Carmen Ohling

If you’ve been feeling stretched, uncertain, and a little wobbly in your faith, this is for you.

This is your personal invitation to join me for our final community connection call, which will be held on Thursday, December 28th at 12pm PST / 3pm EST. Think of it like your most impactful and important “lunch and learn” all year long!

2024 has an energy of enthusiastic inspiration, rich and deeply aligned change, and miraculous possibilities. Which is why I’m doing a year-ahead forecast and prep session for our community next Thursday.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, uncertain, and a little wobbly in your faith, this email is for you.

Remember, your mission is being yourself. Wherever you are.

And here’s what we’ll cover:

2024’s core themes: from “amplifying your life” to “breaking through complacency” to “independence of spirit” and much more.
Honoring and integrating the lessons from 2023 so you can start fresh.
How to identify what phase of your life you’re in (and what that means about your next right actions.)
The biggest thing that will undermine your goals and dreams in 2024 and how to navigate around it.
Practical tools for staying grounded and focused on what matters most.
Rekindling your divine spark, staying motivated, and taking aligned action.
Getting inspired about all the goodness that lies ahead.

You’ll leave feeling revitalized, empowered, and ready for a fulfilling 2024!

Click HERE to join us.

Thursday’s community connection is a come-as-you-are event. Show up no matter how you feel about your life, purpose, and creations — it’s all welcome.

For now, I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes about perseverance. It’s from the French philosopher Albert Camus:

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”

I believe in you and after next Thursday you will 100% believe in you too!

P.S. If you need an extra hype woman boost or more of a pep talk, listen to this podcast I recorded last year on trusting yourself. It’s actually part 1 of a 3-part series and, it was one of the #1 downloaded podcasts in 2023!

Transform Your Dreams into Reality: Unlocking Guidance and Accountability for 2024!

by Carmen Ohling | Dec 14, 2023 | Uncategorized

Wow, I am blown away by your response to my letter last week. So many of you are ready for more in-person events and deep meaningful connections. Guess what, I am SO READY to be in these spaces with you too!!

Here’s what I want to share with you today…

Dreams are not just to be longed after; dreams are meant to be lived!

What are you doing to make the space in your life to live your dreams?

Who is helping you, guiding you, and holding you accountable?

What is your next right small step to get closer to your dreams?

If you’re seeking guidance and accountability in 2024, here are three resources that you have access to TODAY:

1. This simple daily prayer that my friend, Marshawn shared with me in her book Believer Bigger:

“Lord, please give me a bigger vision for my life. Help me to believe that my purpose is bigger than I understand, and to trust that your view of me and my future is bigger than what I externally see. Help me to speak what I seek until I see what I’ve said. I give you thanks for the manifestation of this vision already in progress. Give me the wisdom, humility, and certainty as I make room for what you’ve said is for me to become, have, and do. I give you thanks and declare this done over my life. Amen.”

2. Book a Flow Coaching Session with one of our Certified Holistic Life Coaches and get the support and accountability you need ASAP. Book HERE.

3. If you already know you have massive goals for 2024, and it will take strategy, discipline, and a new level of both professional and personal high performance, then let’s chat about flying you out to Miami Beach to learn directly from me at your own Personal High-Performance Immersive Retreat. Limited spots are available this winter (but really it’s like summer here in Miami)- click HERE to book your call.

Oh, and BTW… one week until Christmas, which is so fun! Even more fun for Joal and I is that our daughter arrives in Florida tonight and we get to celebrate her 22nd birthday with her here in Miami Beach on the 16th!

Sending you light, love, and courage to go after your dreams today,
Carmen

by Carmen Ohling | Dec 7, 2023 | Uncategorized

As we end 2023 and get ready to begin 2024, I have been contemplating how I can best serve each of you with your growth. My mission has always been to go first into expansion and show you it’s possible for you to take a jump in your life too. I am always and forever reaching out my hand to support you and challenge you and 2024 will be no different! It has been one of the greatest gifts of my life for us to be on this journey together.

From small beginnings of 2-hour workshops in my hometown of Albany, Oregon, to buying out an entire hotel in Laguna Beach, California, it’s all been transformational not only for you but for me – and I thank you!

2024 proves to be no different….

Get ready for way more expansion, way more transformation, and way more in-person events that foster deep connections! That’s why I am so excited to share with you new opportunities for you to learn, grow, and connect with me and our community of heart-centered thought leaders and change makers!

What attracts you to someone? Looks? Accomplishments? Physical possessions?

by Carmen Ohling | Nov 30, 2023 | Uncategorized

What attracts you to someone? Looks? Accomplishments? Physical possessions?

Look, we are all human and because of that we all judge even when we don’t want to judge. Consider this: what if we no longer were attracted to others because of their outward appearance or accomplishments and we were attracted to their energy?

REAL TALK… when we are attracted to someone for their appearance, we then start measuring ourselves up to them and finding some damn reason that we are not good enough or we should be doing more… again, part of the human experience.

As we dig into this, what if our intention was to be attracted to energy each day? For example, being attracted to:

A way of thinking.
Health habits.
Vulnerability and honesty.
Inner peace and a humble nature.
Generosity and kindness.
A light-hearted fun spirit.
An open heart and great listener.

This type of attraction would bring a whole new level to our lives, our connections, and our own confidence.
