Aspire: 3 Powerful Strategies for Creating More of What You Want, Now [Hardcover]

Ole Carlson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2009

Ole Carlson weaves his life's experience, basic psychology and the law of attraction into a simple, no nonsense template for creating the life that you seek and deserve. There is no fluff in Aspire. The book stresses accountability, honesty and self reliance as the keys for moving forward in one's life. There is no room in anyone's life to be a victim or martyr if you want to be successful and joyful so says Carlson.

Ole divides Aspire into three sections. Section One asks the reader to investigate honestly their life and audit what is working and what needs to be discarded. Section Two deals with establishing a sound foundation upon which to construct a sustainable and valuable life. What are your values, your vision and mission for yourself? Section Three explains in detail the manifestation process in three vital and essential steps to actualize one's dreams and goals.

Aspire is about getting back to basic, simplifying and creating sustainable and valuable results.

From the Author

Sometimes, just when you think life can't get any harder, a "landslide" occurs and it does. Whether financial, psychological, physical or emotional, the landslide can become a defining moment that destroys everything you own and all that you treasure - your identity, self esteem, peace of mind, financial security - and leaves you stranded in the middle of chaos, stalling your plans for a contented and self directed life. For many people this would create feelings of defeat, low self-worth, and depression, creating a hole almost impossible to climb out of. For me, a landslide literally did destroy my family's home and possessions, devastating us financially and emotionally. But instead of the mud dragging me down the hill to oblivion, later in life it inspired me to strive harder, reach higher, dream bigger, and create a personal attitude that led me to relative success in many aspects of my life. 

In Aspire: 3 Powerful Strategies for Creating More of What You Want, NOW I offers you the insight and inspiration to do the same. Aspire gives you the opportunity to pause and reset your life with proven and appropriate tools for success and happiness.

Many people are too busy living their life instead of consciously and intentionally creating it. Most everyone wants more of something whether it is wealth, peace of mind, world peace or better relationships. The list is custom designed. Most people do not know or are not aware of how to break away from their self-imposed boundaries and move outside of their limitations. My book will change all that.

I just got done reading "Aspire", by Ole Carlson and was taken not only by his easy to understand methods for overcoming obstacles in our lives, but the context in which Ole weaves his own, very personal journey toward fulfillment into his narrative . When Jack Welch was once asked by a subordinate, "Jack, what does it take to have a great company?" Welch responded, "It takes major setbacks and overcoming those. I mean a near death experience". Carlson's book expounds on that notion with step by step instructions for erasing the pre-programmed beliefs that hold us back; replacing them with a clear vision of our fulfilled reality. Each chapter is followed by valuable exercises that guide the reader in assessing what is and isn't working in their life, and what they truly "aspire" out of life. The book reminds us that we are each unique, with different needs and wants. And that our needs and wants will be realized only after we truly identify what they really are and work toward achieving them with joy and gratitude.

Here what the master has been telling thousands of Chief Execuitves and business owners for years. I just finished Ole Carlson's Aspire. Ole talks in plain English about how you can have what you want and how to get it. You will love the book. I have revised part of my personal mission because of it and cannot wait for him to share his Aspire Workshop with my 16 CEO members in January.
