A recent coaching call got me thinking more deeply about how “chaotic” our minds can get as entrepreneurs.

Do you ever feel like the ball in a pinball machine?

We’re trying to focus on developing a program, but then we need to write that blog post, and oops we need to say something on social media… then,”oooh…. look who just launched a new program! It’s gorgeous. Gosh, I’m not doing enough… Maybe that idea I had wasn’t right… Maybe I need to do this new thing. Ok, I’m going to start mapping that new idea out. Oooh this is fun! Wait… I […]

Growing your expertise-based business is tricky. There, I said it. It may not be what you want to hear, but if you’re running a business that makes money as a result of you selling your unique skills and knowledge, it’s something you have to know … and you probably already do.

I’ve seen many talented entrepreneurs get stuck. They get stuck on a plateau and don’t know how to climb to the next level. (I see this a lot with coaches. If you’re a coach, you are your business, and there’s only so much of you to go around, right?). It’s […]

I want to share something with you that I absolutely love!

Nothing happens until something moves.

Albert Einstein said that, and he was right.

Do you ever feel like you’re on a plateau?

Your email list isn’t growing, or it seems like you just can’t seem to make the progress you want in your personal or professional world?

If you want a way out, the answer is easier than you think.

Get moving.

It’s really not more complex than that. Opportunity comes after action has been taken.

A big key to my success? I never stop taking action. Big or small.

Even when I’m “too busy,” or the weeks […]

Are you struggling to stay motivated? Don’t worry if you are. This is super normal….especially for entrepreneurs because we have to be really good at self-motivation. These are my top 5 tips for firing up the motivation whenever you feel it slipping away:

If you are motivated by empowering others, then you’ll know that writing more blog posts or sharing more empowering things on social […]

The Decision to Jump Into Your Business with Both Feet

by Amber Vilhauer, Online Marketing & Sales Business Coach Leave a comment
jump-into-business-with-both-feet

Fourteen years ago, I was sitting in a room with 100 other college-aged kids. I showed up to this 3-day training for a sales job – alone and scared.

I was not outgoing, I was FULL of doubt and fear, I didn’t have much belief in my abilities… but I was open enough to try something new. I thought maybe, just maybe, this could lead somewhere.

The trainer, Keri, was going through her introduction speech. Seven hours of training was ahead me that first day and with each passing minute I wondered if I made a mistake by being there.

But then she […]
