The Achievers Podcast: Get out of your own way and find success

Welcome to The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach and creator of Physical Productivity. I help enterprise sellers stop fighting their wiring 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 ask everyone I coach the same question. Drop the shoulds, and tell me what you actually want. Not what you think you should want, what you want. And so often I get a blank stare, total silence. Then I asked myself the same thing and went just as blank. When you...

I help enterprise sellers stop fighting their wiring 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.  For years I'd sit down at my desk with everything set up, follow every productivity guru's checklist, and then do nothing.

You have tried every productivity hack on the internet. Pomodoro, deep work, time blocking. And somehow none of it sticks, so you assume the problem is you.

In this episode, I tell you the full, unpolished origin story of my Work Like You Work Out framework, including the season of sickness and grief that created it, the discovery that changed how I coach high performers, and why the productivity advice that failed you was never built for the way your energy actually works.

 

🎯 In this episode, I riff on:

     â†  Why I never set out to build a methodology, and how necessity created it instead
     â†  The athletic history that secretly mirrored my work style for years
     â†  From swim team and state championships to triathlons and 100-mile bike rides
     â†  The tech unicorn years, the billion-dollar valuation, and working insane hours
     â†  How having kids introduced constraint and changed everything
     â†  The COVID, mouth surgery, and full-body fatigue that shut me down completely
     â†  Sleeping 12 hours a night, taking 5-hour naps, and wondering if I would ever be okay again
     â†  The grief of being an Enneagram 3 whose body finally said no more
     â†  The 20-minute walk that revealed my 20-minute focus limit
     â†  Why the Pomodoro Technique failed me and what I discovered at minute 20
     â†  The link between how you expend physical energy and how you expend mental energy
     â†  What strength training taught me about taking real breaks
     â†  Sets and reps for your workday: focus, rest, repeat
     â†  Why deep work is not the answer for everyone (and how to spot your real style)
     â†  The golfer client who cut to 6-hour days and still closed 45 percent over his number
     â†  The rock climber client who stopped wanting to retire at 40 once work became sustainable
     â†  Why your body already holds the blueprint for how you should be working
     â†  How to find your own Work Like You Work Out style in 90 seconds
