How to build your 5-year plan on easy mode (and create your dream life!)

Amber Deibert

August 27, 2025


Do you cringe when someone asks, “Where do you see yourself in five years?”

Most achievers love the idea of having a plan but freeze up trying to make one. In this episode, Amber walks you through a simple, values-based process to design a 5- and 10-year plan you’ll actually stick with. No overwhelm, no overthinking… just clarity, direction, and next steps.

🎯 In this episode we riff on:

↠ Why classic 5-year planning feels impossible (it’s not your fault)

↠ A quick values-first exercise that clarifies direction fast

↠ How to turn vague goals into checkable outcomes

↠ “Week in the life” prompts to design the future you actually want

↠ Why writing it down trains your RAS (reticular activating system) to spot opportunities

Pause the episode, do the prompts with me, and by the end you’ll have a plan that feels inspiring, not overwhelming.

Hi, I’m Amber, the go-to performance coach for enterprise tech sellers looking to ditch mindset trash, streamline their workday, and get more done with less friction. 

I’ve been coaching full-time for over 6 years, and with hundreds of sellers (1000+ sessions and counting!) under my belt. 

I know what it takes to help high performers reach new heights—and still have time to be present with your family + personal life.


I spent years in tech, myself. In roles like Learning & Development, Leadership, Sales Enablement, and System Administration. 


I know what it’s like to manage a mile-long to-do list and the pressure of being a top performer at a rocketship startup. 


I’ve also been where my clients are: overwhelmed, unsure of myself, and thinking everyone around me was naturally more confident and driven. 


But here's the thing—confidence isn’t about being born with it. It’s about having the right mindset and habits to back yourself up. 


That’s where I come in.
