Zach Oehlman & Team

We have a long ways to go…

And a short time to get there 😊

We left at 4:30 AM and rode 18 hours straight.

I had to leave the country to renew my visa and instead of a simple plane…

I wanted an adventure on my motorcycle…

So we rode to Ecuador instead!

The views were amazing…

The people along the way were amazing…

The roads were amazing…

And it was an absolute adventure.

Seeing the world on a motorcycle will give you a different perspective on humanity.

And “motos” as they are referred to in South America are a universal tool loved and respected by all.

As we drove through the small towns the kids would cheer us on and look at us with pure joy as they gave the us the international sign for…

Revving up the motor so they could hear the pipes.

And of course…

We cracked the throttle wide open for them 😊

It reminded me when I was a kid and would run out of the house every time there was a cool…

Motorcycle…

Truck…

Tractor…

Or…

Car.

The simple things in life can bring so much joy and happiness.

So if you ever have a chance to take a motorcycle ride…

Do it!

Grateful for the opportunity to ride and can’t wait for the next country to explore!

I am hosting a free Vision To Reality workshop for anyone that wants to create an amazing 2024!

We will be going over your goals...

And asking the question...

What Do You Want?

Simple question...

Lots of answers.

We will be helping you create a life that inspires you.

Travel.

Relationships.

Adventures.

Finances.

Health.

Fitness.

And anything else you want.

You can have it all...

And it all starts with the simple process of writing it down.

We have been doing this for over 8 years and it has helped us create everything we have today.

We want to share it with you and your family and friends this year so make sure to invite them all.

It is absolutley free and I promise it will be worth it :)

The link to sign up will be in the comments below.

Looking forward to creating an amazing future together :)

I am a farm kid through and through.

I used to live in a small town where people just drive through.

And today…

All I want to do is drive through those small little towns.

And…

Meet the people…

Eat the food…

Listen to the stories…

And just be in the presence of a small town.

I grew up on a farm and all I could think about was getting out.

And today all I want to do is own a farm 😊

I enjoy the quiet of the countryside.

The fresh air.

The sounds of nature.

The friendly people.

The sunrises and the sunsets.

The pride in a hard days work.

Growing up on a farm is a special gift that stays with you forever.

The lessons about life.

The lessons about creation.

The lesson about working hard to get what you want.

You get to see firsthand the immense work it takes to create something as simple as a vegetable.

You get to experience what patience is while the creation process takes place in the background.

You learn you can’t force the process…

And you can’t skip steps.

You have to do the work and follow the process.

These lessons can be used in all parts of your life to create anything you want.

I am grateful to have grown up on a farm.

To been given the blessing of responsibility from a young age.

Because everything I learned then has helped me create what I have now.

It has taken me 20+ years to bring my dream of traveling the world to a reality…

But just like we learned on the farm…

If we follow the process and do the work the time to harvest will come.

Looking forward to planting new seeds to create the future.

Cheers to you and your next adventure!

I have an idea....

And it goes something like this...

Create a project called....

The New BRRR Method.

It stands for...

Build

Remove

Ride / Relax

Repeat

And is another excuse for me to ride motorcycles...

And build businesses at the same time...hahaha

It goes something like this...

Build: Build a business that can support your goals / vision

Remove: Learn how to remove yourself from the day to day activities so you can focus on the business and not in the
business.

Ride / Relax: Ride motorcycles and relax at our homes in Colombia, Puerto Rico, and Arizona and eventually other amazing
places we visit.

Repeat: Take what we learned from the riding and relaxing and bring it back to our business to accomplish bigger goals.

The intention is to have a business that helps you create the life you want instead of being the only thing in your life.

Having a bunch of money is fanatic but making money for the sake of making money isn’t that satisfying.

Once you attach it to a goal it gives everything you do intention.

You can get excited about the most boring things because they ultimately lead to your big goal.

Again...ask my how I know...lol

I am thinking of having quarterly events where we spend a week organizing your business.

We go through the process I use to scale my and my clients businesses.

Finance: We get your finances in order. This includes your bookkeeping, entity structures, KPIs, tax strategy, financial projections, and more.

Operations: We create and organize your systems and processes so you can scale.

Sales: We create a sells process that doesn’t require you so you can focus other things.

Marketing: We create a marketing strategy that allows you to scale effectively, efficiently, and reliably.

We start to document the entire process so you can have something that is scaleable and sellable.

Then we spend a second week riding motorcycles in Colombia on an epic adventure.

Then the next quarter we meet again for a week and go through our business process.

Then a week of relaxing at our home in Puerto Rico.

Then the next quarter we meet in Arizona for a week and go through business process.

Then a week of CanAm riding in northern Arizona and Southern Utah.

This is where the magic happens because your mind is free to think and create about all the work we just did the previous week.

Hence the name “ride / relax”.

I have personally had so many breakthroughs riding my CanAm, motorcycles, hiking, and relaxing that have lead to huge shifts in my life and my goals.

We just keep repeating this process until we have what we want.

Our visions will get bigger...

And so will our adventures together :)

Let me know what you think and if you have any good ideas I can add.

Cheers to you and your next adventure!

I am calling it...

For you and the kids.

It is my new project I am creating and...

I am going to ride a motorcycle from Alaska to Argentina for it :)

Just writing this makes me get excited...

And nervous all at the same time :)

This project just came to me about two months ago.

I was walking home from the gym and I said...

I need an adventure...it has been almost a year since I did something wild and adventurous.

And then it hit me..

I said...

I need a motorcycle and...

I need to ride the Pan American Highway with it (Alaska to Argentina).

This has been something I have wanted to do for over 5 years and I thought to myself...

What a perfect adventure to start training for :)

So I started going to the gym.

Started doing 2,000 stair steps 3 times a week.

Weight lifting.

Eating better.

Doing as much as I could to start training for the big ride.

And then....

I bought a motorcycle :)

And just took it for its first ride!

A two day round trip from Medellin Colombia to Bogota Colombia and back.

Over 18 hours of riding in two days.

Through some epic landscapes.

And I can tell you...

It is exactly what the Dr. ordered :)

I have spent the last 9 months scaling some of our businesses and have spent the weekends at home relaxing and working on
the next big projects and businesses.

And I love every second of it...

And I needed a break.

It reminded me of why we work so hard...

So we can fund our visions.

And this vision has been a long time coming.

It started off for the sole purpose of me accomplishing my goal...

And then transformed into a project to inspire kids to work hard for their dreams and for adults to not give up on their dreams.

And then the name came to me...

“For you and the kids.”

It came from a deep gratitude of everything I have today...

And my desire for everyone to have their version of it.

I thought of all the times I almost gave up.

Literally curled in a ball crying because I didn’t know what to do.

Panic attacks where I just laid on the ground with anxiety because I didn’t know what to do.

Driving 200 miles every day to go to a job that I didn’t get paid for....

But gave me experience.

I could go on for days on how many times I have wanted to give up...

But didn’t.

Because I had a little voice inside that said...

“What are you going to do if you give up.”

I started asking myself...

“What does give up look like?”

“What am I going to do in my free time if I give up on my goals?”

And a bunch of other similar questions.

Today I can see that this was me grappling with not having a purpose or intention.

But back then it was just a young man trying to find happiness and purpose in life.

Today I feel like that is exactly what I have.

And it would have never happened if I gave up and didn’t go through the growth pains.

Because anytime you want to grow it involves being uncomfortable at first.

Then it turns into something absolutely amazing.

Then it fades out and we need another opportunity for growth.

And the Pan American trip is exactly that for me...

Opportunity for growth.

And I want to share that opportunity for growth with my project...

“For you and the kids.”

It involves you finding something that inspires you and then putting all of your time and attention to it until you accomplish it.

It involves you living an extraordinary life.

Having it all.

The businesses.

The adventure.

The time.

The money.

And anything else you need.

Because when they say...

“Enjoy the destination not the journey”.

They are so right because the journey is an absolute adventure that no one knows until you start.

We all get to the top of the proverbial mountain different ways.

And it is almost always through something we never planned or expected.

Hence it is a true adventure :)

I am doing it to show kids the foundation of what it actually takes to turn a vision into a reality.

I am doing it to remind adults that anything is possible...

And I mean anything.

Fire up the “dream machine” and lets start creating together!

I am going to be hosting some free Vision To Reality Sessions where we help people get started so let me know if you are
interested.

Cheers to you and your next adventure!

Why is life so hard?

Why does life suck?

Ask the question and…

You will get an answer…

To literally anything you ask.

Our brain is designed that way.

So if you can understand that you will understand…

That you can change everything by changing the questions you ask yourself.

Think of it this way.

If you ask a question like…

“Why am I so stupid?”

Is there any empowering response to that question?

Absolutely not.

So instead of asking questions that focus on….

Self Doubt

Comparison

Or….

Victimhood.

Questions like…

Why can’t I do anything right?

Why does this always happen?

What is wrong with me?

What if I make a fool of myself?

Why don’t people like me?

Why can’t I just be happy?

Or…

Why am I not good enough?

Start asking questions that lead to a positive and productive mindset.

Questions like…

What can I learn from this experience?

What small step can I take to move forward right now?

Who can I reach out to for support and guidance?

What am I grateful for in my life today?

How can I grow from this challenge?

Or one of my favorites….

How can I turn my dreams into a reality?

That last one is one I have been asking for more than 20 years.

And it never disappoints :)

So try it for yourself.

What if it works for you too?

See what I did there…lol

Cheers to an amazing day!

You can’t hate and understand someone at the same time…

Because if you understood them you couldn’t hate them.

You would understand why they are doing what they are doing.

You would see their point of view.

You would have compassion for what they have gone through to make them do what they are doing.

And…

That doesn’t always justify their actions.

And…

That doesn’t mean we have to tolerate their actions…

But it helps us understand them to help figure out a resolution.

I have personally found that the biggest thing we can do to resolve a conflict is to listen.

Listen to what they are saying without inserting your personal opinions.

Listen to understand not to respond.

Listen to what they are saying beyond words.

Listen so you can make the person communicating feel heard…

Because if they don’t feel heard one of two things will happen.

They will get louder and louder until someone listens to them…

Or…

They will silence themselves and live a disempowered life.

I have personally experienced both.

There are instances when I am not being heard and I get louder and louder.

And others where I say something like “why am I wasting my time as it will never change”.

When we silence someone, we take away something special from people.

When we interrupt and talk over each other we are not listening or having a conversation…

We are fighting to be right and making the other person wrong.

And we all know where that leads to.

If you want to have a better quality of life,…

Consider learning how to listen better.

Take all those thoughts you have going through your head and put them aside.

Listen to the words they are saying.

Then listen even deeper to hear their commitment.

And finally, the most powerful part of listening which is…

Recreating them.

Share with them what you heard in a way that they know you listened because…

Most people can’t fully articulate what they are feeling so if you can help them articulate what they want to say they will feel understood at a level most people have never experienced.

And that will change everything for everyone involved in the conversation.

And we want you to know…

We hear you and we understand what you are going through…

And we send you all our love.

Cheers to another amazing day!

Stress = when what is shouldn’t be

Once I started to understand this concept life was totally different.

I used to try and bend reality to my point of view…

Which hardly ever works because…

People are people…

And people do irrational things.

This would make me upset, angry, and even resentful which wasn’t a fun place to live in.

And then I started to understand human emotions and saw…

That most people react to things instead of responding.

They live life based on how they “feel” and let emotions drive decisions…

Instead of looking at the facts and making a rational decision.

We as people are not naturally able to articulate the emotions we feel so we end up taking it out in anger and say things like…

“It shouldn’t be this way”

“That isn’t right”

“They are wrong”

Or any other version that we use to make others wrong.

If you are like me and find yourself getting upset when things don’t go your way…

Or people don’t do things that you think they should do.

I have a question for you.

Where does it say that?

Where does it say that other people “should” act or be a different way?

Where does it say that other people “should” act the way you think they “should”?

Where does it say that people should be “polite”?

Where does it say that people should be “kind”?

Where does it say that people should “help you”?

I am 38 years old, and I have yet to find anywhere that says this is “the way people should be”.

I have traveled the world and found that what is accepted and praised in one country is frowned upon in other countries.

I have seen the impact of how this way of being affects nations…

And that is where the beauty of all of this comes into play.

We are blessed to look back at history and understand the impact of people’s actions.

There is no right or wrong way to do anything.

There is only an impact to someones actions.

For example…

If someone were to steal from someone they would probably end up in jail.

If someone kills someone they will probably end up in jail.

What I have observed is that there is a set of principles that help guide us in our development to achieve joy and happiness.

You can see it in religion with things like…

The 10 Commandments

The Five Pillars

The Yamas and Niyamas

You can see it in Philosophical concepts such as…

Stoicism

Confucianism

You can find it in Government concepts such as…

U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

I could go on and on with this but what I wish for you to understand is that all of these are insights to living a happy and fulfilled life.

It isn’t “the way”…

However, it is “a way” to achieve what we are all looking for.

And I believe that is to be happy and have a life full of joy.

These principles help guide us when we start thinking things “shouldn’t be this way”.

They help us understand ourselves so we can understand others…

And once you understand yourself you can create a life full of joy and happiness.

Then you can bring that joy and happiness into the world and make a huge impact on others.

And I have found that making an empowering impact on others is one of the principles to living a life full of joy and happiness.

I am not saying this is “the way”…

But it works for me 😊

So my question to you is…

What are the principles you live by?

What guides you in your decision-making process?

And if you don’t have any consider using some principles of people you admire and want to be like.

They have already figured it out and want to share with you.

Because the better you are…the better everyone is.

Cheers to an amazing day and…

And amazing life!
