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.

 

Ever stare down your to-do list knowing exactly what to do, and still not do it? 

You're not lazy, broken, or alone. 

In this episode, we unpack the real reason you can’t seem to start, why your brain is working against you, and the tactical tools you can use to shift momentum and reclaim your power, one tiny step at a time.

 

🎯 In this episode, I riff on:

     â†  Why feeling unmotivated doesn’t mean you’re doomed
     â†  The "Motivational Triad" and how it sabotages your productivity
     â†  What procrastination is really trying to protect you from
     â†  How breaking tasks down to “open a new tab” can unlock action
     â†  The neuroscience of dopamine and task effort
     â†  Why starting is the hardest part (and how to make it easier)
     â†  Three game-changing tools to override resistance
     â†  How timers and brain dumps can interrupt overthinking spirals
     â†  Gamification strategies to boost consistency (yes, even almonds!)
     â†  Why visual progress tracking keeps you going
     â†  The myth of motivation and what actually drives momentum
     â†  How to build streaks that your brain doesn’t want to break
