Why You Don’t Need to Feel Motivated to Start (and What to Do Instead)

Amber Deibert

May 5, 2025

Ever stare at your to-do list, waiting for that spark of motivation… and it never shows up? You’re not alone - and there’s nothing wrong with you. In this episode, we break down why motivation is unpredictable (and totally overrated), and what to do when it’s missing in action.

In this Episode I riff on:

↠ Why waiting for motivation might be holding you back

↠ How to reframe your relationship with “low-energy” days

↠ How perfectionism kills momentum (and what to do instead)

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.
