The Achievers Podcast: Get out of your own way and find success
Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. I recently polled my audience, and the response blew me away.

You’ll learn how to map out your 5 and 10-year vision without...

You hit six figures.
You got the job.
You did everything you thought would finally make you feel successful… and yet, you still feel stuck.
In this episode, I’m naming something most high performers are too busy (or too proud) to admit: that outward success doesn’t always equal inner satisfaction.
I share how I built a career chasing milestones, and how it left me feeling disconnected, directionless, and emotionally flat. That’s when I found the “Hero on a Mission” framework. And it changed everything.
In this episode, I riff on:
↠ Why reaching your goals doesn’t guarantee fulfillment
↠ The trap of moving mile markers and chasing the next high
↠ A narrative shift: what if you’re the hero of a story?
↠ The “Will the hero…” question that rewires how you live
↠ How writing your eulogy creates instant clarity
↠ Breaking generational patterns, healing self-worth, and finding joy
You’ll walk away with a powerful mindset shift that turns everyday decisions into plot-building moments, and your life into a meaningful story.
