Creating Infinite Impact with Alignment in Your Business with Amber Vilhauer

If you’ve ever felt out of alignment in life or business, this episode will light a fire under you. I sit down with Amber Vilhauer—founder of No Guts No Glory and author of Infinite Impact—to talk about what it really takes to create purpose-driven work that actually changes lives. Amber’s not only the powerhouse who helped me launch Profit First for Real Estate Investing, but she’s also a deeply authentic entrepreneur with a remarkable journey of resilience and transformation.

Amber shares the emotional backstory that shaped her mission to help others feel heard, seen, and valued—and how that mission now fuels everything from book launches to marketing strategy. We dive into the real root of resistance, how entrepreneurs can overcome visibility fears, and why getting into alignment might be the most important step you’re skipping. If you’ve ever wondered whether your voice matters or how to make an impact beyond just growing your business, this one’s for you.

5 Key Takeaways

1. Alignment is Everything: Before launching any brand or business strategy, make sure you’re in personal alignment. It informs every decision moving forward.
2. Your Story is the Strategy: The very thing you’re most afraid to share could be your greatest impact tool.
3. Micro-Vision Over Mega-Vision: Focus on making one person feel heard, seen, and valued at a time. That’s how real impact scales.
4. Every Moment is a Choice: Whether it’s walking into a classroom or onto a stage, impact is built through choosing courage daily.
5. Peace of Mind Isn’t Bought: It’s created by meeting your own emotional needs—something entrepreneurs often overlook in the pursuit of growth.
