Amber Fuhriman breaks down why the number you charge is a direct reflection of your identity, not the market, and how to close the gap between what you know you're worth and what you actually believe you deserve to charge.Key Topics CoveredWhy that half-second hesitation when someone asks your price is an identity problem, not a business problemHow childhood money stories and beliefs about worth show up in every pricing conversation you haveWhy your clients take their cues from you: if you don't believe your price, neither will theyThe gap between the price you want to charge and the identity you're currently living in, and why the gap always winsHow to identify the version of you that set your prices in the first place and what it takes to change itNotable Quotes"That half second is not a pricing problem. That's an identity problem.""Your price isn't just a number. It's a declaration of your worth. Every time you name your price, you are telling the world, and more importantly, yourself, what you believe your work is worth.""If you don't believe it's worth what you're charging, why the hell would they?""Somewhere underneath the spreadsheet and the market analysis and the competitor analysis and the research is this eight-year-old kid who learned that asking for too much will make people like you less. And that kid is sitting at a table every single time you talk about your price.""The identity has to expand to meet that price, and that is exactly the work that we get to do."Call to ActionBook a free strategy call with Amber: https://calendly.com/amberfuhriman/connection-call?month=2021-05Join the Break Your Bullsh*t Box Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/185xJ6KALu/Check out Amber's Speaker Reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPj5OBvjrr0 Hosted on Acast.

They are a direct reflection of the environment that you created, and the environment is built, not on what you say, but on what you tolerate, what you model, and what you actually make matter.""You didn't tell them that. You taught them that.""One of the most difficult conversations I had to have with myself as a business owner is acknowledging, for a short period of time when I was not getting the results I wanted, that if I was my own employee, I would've fired me.

Because I knew where they were coming from and could address that root problem.""I don't wanna try to get a stain outta my new quartz counter.

Episode SummaryYou've read the books, taken the courses, and filled the notebooks, so why are you still stuck?

It's also not the solution. You need the skill, you need the knowledge, you need the framework. The course is only half of the equation, maybe even less. The other half is looking at the belief system that you are running that course through.""The course teaches the skill. The belief determines if you use it. Both things have to change, not one or the other.""The most important investment that you will ever make isn't in the next thing you learn.

Episode SummaryMost leaders think their team problems are about skill, strategy, or motivation. They're wrong. Amber Fuhriman sits down with Kolbe certified consultant and energy healer Vikki Kempker to unpack the real reason high performers break down, teams fall apart, and leaders stay stuck: it's a wiring problem, and no one ever told you that's a thing.Key Topics CoveredWhy team breakdowns are almost never a skills problem and how understanding natural wiring stops the cycle of expensive hiring and communication mistakesHow limiting beliefs formed in childhood quietly run your leadership decisions without your awarenessWhat energy healing actually does: releasing the emotional charge tied to life events so old patterns stop driving new behaviorHow the brain is wired for comfort, not success, and what it costs you when you mistake familiarity for forward movementWhy leaders who refuse to see themselves as part of the problem will keep getting the same resultsNotable QuotesAmber Fuhriman:"Your brain is not wired for success. It's wired for comfort. The more uncomfortable I feel, the more I'm actually making progress in the direction that I want to go. The more comfortable I feel, the more I'm hiding.""When there's a breakdown in communication, it's not a skills problem."Vikki Kempker:"I've got a gift to share. And if I'm not sharing it, then I'm not helping somebody else become their best self.""You can talk, talk, talk, talk therapy, and you can bring it to a level of awareness.

It's a belief problem wearing a sales costume.""You cannot script your way out of not believing you're worth what you charge. It's not possible.""They had defended the value before it had even been attacked.

What's the strategy for making this happen?""None of us knew what the hell we were doing when we opened our business. And there's still fear of failure all the time."Gina Yager:"Branding is the foundation of perception, but perception is what drives business success.""You have to go into every relationship with the intention of building a relationship and being of service.

Episode SummaryThink surrounding yourself with like-minded people means finding people who agree with you? Amber Fuhriman challenges that assumption head-on, breaking down what like-minded truly means and why the people who think differently than you are the ones who will actually help you grow.Key Topics CoveredWhy the common definition of "like-minded" keeps you stuck in your own echo chamberHow surrounding yourself with people who only validate your beliefs feeds the gremlins telling you you're not good enoughWhat a truly like-minded person looks like: shared values of growth, compassion, and openness, not shared opinionsWhy you should actively seek out people on the opposite side of the aisle to challenge and sharpen your thinkingHow to audit the people in your life and identify who is actually helping you grow versus keeping you limitedNotable Quotes"A like-minded person to me is someone who shows up in a space that is open, welcoming and appreciative. A place that says, I may not completely agree with everything you say, and I respect your right to think it.""One is going to lead you to the growth that you want personally and professionally. The other is going to allow you to stay stuck in your old limitations, justify your shitty beliefs about what you're capable of, and feed those gremlins in your head that tell you you're not good enough.""When we surround ourselves with people who actually think differently than we do, we give ourselves the opportunity to think about problems differently than we think about them now." Call to ActionBook a free strategy call with Amber: https://calendly.com/amberfuhriman/connection-call?month=2021-05Join the Break Your Bullsh*t Box Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/185xJ6KALu/Check out Amber's Speaker Reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPj5OBvjrr0 Hosted on Acast.

Amber Fuhriman sits down with boundaries expert and author Sheryl Green to break down why most people are setting boundaries wrong, what healthy boundaries actually look like in real life, and how to communicate them without blowing up your relationships.Key Topics CoveredThe two boundary extremes that wreck relationships: people pleasing (porous boundaries) and saying no to everything (rigid boundaries), and how to find the healthy middleWhy boundaries are not something you do to people, they are something you do for people, and how that mindset shift makes them easier to enforceHow to stop "yes vomiting" and evaluate commitments before they become obligations you have to lie your way out ofThe role of resentment as an early warning signal that your boundaries have been erodedWhy communicating your boundaries matters as much as setting them, and how to say no without torching a relationshipNotable QuotesSheryl Green:"Boundaries are not something you do to people. They're something you do for people. It's actually a way of protecting and strengthening a relationship.""I had one foot on a mental breakdown and one foot on a banana peel."Amber Fuhriman:"The person we have the most emotional response to is the person that is the most like us or the most like we'd like to be.""People pleasing is actually really selfish.

And you don't ever feel like anybody knows or loves or appreciates you because frankly, you've never let them get to know you.""In a world where people will associate with and do business with people that they know, like, and trust, how do they get to know you? How do they learn to like you, and how do they decide to trust you if they don't know who you are?""I believe that doing it intentionally because we wanna connect with others so that we can serve them is a strength. I believe that doing it because we want to be loved and appreciated and accepted and we are abandoning other parts of ourselves is dangerous.""Realistically, we can only start to understand when we're performing, when we have a mask on, when we're out of alignment, if we get really clear about who it is we are and what it is that we want."Call to Action (CTA)Book a free strategy call with Amber: https://calendly.com/amberfuhriman/connection-call?month=2021-05Join the Break Your Bullsh*t Box Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/185xJ6KALu/Check out Amber's Speaker Reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPj5OBvjrr0 Hosted on Acast.

The weight loss won't make you happy.

Episode SummaryThe identities that got you here won't get you there.

We also get to acknowledge that those parts of us that want to go to places we've never been...some of the things that we've held onto won't serve us in those situations.""The key to growth is really labeling your identities and acknowledging which ones were necessary to get to you, to where you are now, and which ones are necessary to let go of in order to get to where you want to be.""Each time we grow, there is a part of us that we're letting go of.

It's actually taking a real interest in the other business owner, the other individuals, just people that you run into every single day, and more importantly, building a relationship.""Don't you realize you've already won? And all of a sudden, dead in my tracks, I had to shut off. And he was right that here I was still fighting over a piece of fruit.""If you don't do anything it's still zero. But if you do something, you're maybe five or 10% along the way. And even if you drop it at that point in the process, you're still five to 10% along than you were before.""I don't even think that we can call it healthcare. It's sick care. If we really cared about health, we'd do things entirely differently."Amber Fuhriman:"When I felt like I was in a place where I had to defend my right to be in a room as a business owner, that attorney Amber would come up because that was my protection mechanism.""The willingness to drop what you've referred to as that ego and say, here I am, do your best because whatever you do is not gonna affect me because I'm secure in who I am requires a courage that is probably one of the most frightening things I've ever done in my entire life.""I've learned more than anything that if somebody pops into my awareness or something pops into my awareness, it is never an accident.""The hardest, longest distance you'll ever face is from the finish line of one moment to the start line of the next."Call to Action (CTA)Book a free strategy call with Amber: https://calendly.com/amberfuhriman/connection-call?month=2021-05Join the Break Your Bullsh*t Box Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/185xJ6KALu/Check out Amber's Speaker Reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPj5OBvjrr0Guest InfoJenn Ty is a massage therapist, holistic health practitioner, and founder of Flow Massage Therapy, LLC in Las Vegas.

Do you read something, give all of this credit and awe and praise to the author while still self-deprecating yourself?""If you are going to set a goal to read a certain amount of books this year, please also set a goal to analyze those books and analyze your behavior and choose differently and act differently."Call to Action (CTA)Book a free strategy call with Amber: https://calendly.com/amberfuhriman/connection-call?month=2021-05Join the Break Your Bullsh*t Box Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/185xJ6KALu/Check out Amber's Speaker Reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPj5OBvjrr0Visit Success Development Solutions: successdevelopmentsolutions.com Hosted on Acast.

Episode Summary: Ever arrive at your destination with no memory of the drive? That's autopilot and it's not just happening in your car. It's running your business decisions, your communication patterns, and the choices you make (or avoid) every single day.In this episode, Amber Fuhriman breaks down why smart, capable entrepreneurs stay stuck. It's not simply because they lack information. It's because they're operating on invisible patterns they can't see from inside their own heads.In This Episode, You'll Discover:Why having access to information isn't enough to create changeThe difference between surface-level solutions (another sales script) and addressing the real problem (why you're not using the 17 you already have)How business pressure exposes the invisible structures underneath your behaviorWhy change happens in an instant, but deciding to change takes timeThe real reason coaching works: it addresses the human running the business, not just the processesKey Takeaway:You don't need more information. You need more honesty about how you're actually operating and updated strategies in how to handle what you learn. Both of these require an external perspective to see what you can't see on your own.Notable Quotes: "Change doesn't take time. Change happens in an instant, but it's deciding to change that takes time." - Amber Fuhriman "You already have access to the information. You already know so much more than you are implementing.

In this episode: After a brief hiatus, Amber returns with a powerful episode about the most important (and most hated) topic of the new year: identity and transformation. This episode challenges the myth of "New Year, New Me" and explores why simply flipping the calendar doesn't automatically change who we are or what we're capable of achieving. Key topics covered: New Years Resolutions Myths – Why January 1st doesn’t magically transform us and the false belief that calendar changes equal personal changesUnderstanding true identity – the hidden beliefs that shape our realityThe Break Your Bullshit Box Framework:Challenge Your Identity Break Your Bullshit BoxDesign Your LifeHave the Courage to Live ItHard truths about goals – becoming the person who can accomplish them. Key Takeaways: Identity drives capability – who you think you are determines what you believe you can achieveGrowth requires change – You must become someone different to create different resultsSelf-compassion is essential – This work isn’t about self-hatred, It’s about loving who you were while growing into who you need to be.Keep what serves you – Not everything about your current identity needs to change. Quotes: "Just because the calendar flipped over from 2025 to 2026 doesn’t mean the things that held us back as humans automatically changed with the calendar." - Amber Fuhriman "This identity conversation isn’t about hating who you’ve been. It’s about loving the person that created who you are today. You get to love the person who created what you have today. Keep the parts of that person that still serve you. Greive the parts that no longer do." - Amber Fuhriman If you are interested in connecting with Amber, send an email to [email protected]. Connect with other incredible people looking to break out of the corporate mindset by joining the Facebook Break Your Bullshit Box Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/185xJ6KALu/ Checkout Amber's Speaker Reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPj5OBvjrr0 Schedule a connection call with Amber: https://calendly.com/amberfuhriman/connection-call?month=2021-05 Hosted on Acast.
