Are you ready for what's coming?

Right now, entrepreneurs face unprecedented challenges that require new approaches:

We are not doom-and-gloomers … and we’re also not avoiders. We face the music and create our own melody.

This is NOT the time to hide, scale back, or “wait and see.” This is the moment to rise, use your voice, and build sustainable success through a knockout platform.

Why I created this event

Where Voice and Vision Meet

When COVID hit, while others stepped back, I launched The Elevate Series – a bold livestreaming project that delivered actionable strategies to entrepreneurs desperate for help.

The result? More than 80% business growth in my business each year for the next two years, landing my company NGNG Enterprises on the Inc. 5000 list and earning multiple Female Entrepreneur of the Year awards. This success reflects my core belief that genuine service and authentic self-expression fuel sustainable growth for entire communities.

I’ve consistently anticipated industry shifts before they happen for nearly 20 years now. I’ve helped over 1,000 authors become #1 bestsellers, launched countless profitable businesses, and guided entrepreneurs through multiple economic downturns.

I know exactly how entrepreneurs can thrive when others are merely hanging on.

As we face another period of economic uncertainty, cognitive overwhelm, and marketing evolution, I’ve designed this intimate, transformative event to equip you with the exact strategies, mindset shifts, and protective measures you need to grow!

An event like no other

Why Right Now?

Economic downturn. Major marketing evolution. AI is changing every industry. Cognitive overload.

The entrepreneurs who thrive in 2025 and beyond won’t be the ones with the biggest budgets or the most followers.

They’ll be the ones who have built resilient businesses based on authentic self-expression that creates genuine connection and lasting impact.

While others are hesitating, holding back, or relying on outdated strategies, you have the opportunity to position yourself for extraordinary growth by learning exactly how to thrive when others are struggling to adapt.

In just two days, you’ll get the exact growth plan, connections, and renewed energy to build a dependable business that serves your life rather than consumes it.

The entrepreneurs who join us this September will look back at this event as the decisive moment when everything changed for the better.

A Personal Message from Amber

When I look at what’s happening in the entrepreneurial landscape, I see both significant challenges, and more, extraordinary opportunities.

Most business owners are feeling stretched, concerned, and uncertain about the future. I understand – I’ve been there before. But I’ve also discovered that the most challenging periods can become our greatest catalysts for growth when we have the right strategies, mindset, and community.

What I’ve learned through growing my business to the Inc. 5000 list and helping thousands of entrepreneurs build resilient, profitable businesses is this: authentic self-expression isn’t just good for the soul – it’s the most powerful business strategy available to us in times of uncertainty.

I’ve personally curated this event to bring together the absolute best experts in cognitive protection, authentic communication, and strategic growth. These are the exact people I turn to when I need guidance, and I’m bringing them together to support you.

I invite you to join us for what many past attendees have called “the most transformative business event” they’ve ever experienced. Together, we’ll build businesses that not only navigate the challenges ahead but flourish because of them.

With deep care,

Amber Vilhauer

Founder, NGNG Enterprises
