And my business did grow, but not because of these coaches. Both of them were bad decisions. But, you know what I did? I showed up anyway.I went to California twice for retreats I did not need to go to. I asked every question. I got coached on everything I could. I made the most of it. Because that is what you do when you are committed to something.Too often coaches fail because they quit. They aren’t fully committed. They have not made the decision to go all in no matter what.I know what it feels like to invest in yourself and not get the result you wanted. That is why I made this episode. Not to make you feel bad. But because I genuinely believe you can do this. And I want to give you the honest conversation that nobody else is willing to have with you.If you are new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid. I am a Business Growth and Life Coach and the founder of the Business Building Boutique. For over two decades I have helped women coaches build boutique style businesses they love, without burning out or becoming someone they do not recognize. I have sat across from hundreds of women who felt exactly the way you feel right now. And I have watched them build businesses that changed their lives.In this episode you will learn:Why a new coach should spend 80% of their time marketing and 20% coachingThe difference between consuming and doing and why one keeps you stuckHow to know if you are one of the coaches who is busy but not actually buildingWhy your marketing compounds just like interest in a bank accountThe one thing to pick this week that will start moving the needleWhat to say when imposter syndrome tells you that you are not readyHere is what I know about you. You became a coach because you have something real to offer. You have lived something, learned something, or overcome something that other women need. That gift does not expire. It does not go away. But it does require you to show up consistently, talk to people honestly, and trust the process long enough for it to compound.Let's connect!Website: https://www.debbieshadid.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/debbieshadid/Podcast: Life Coach Business Building School https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/life-coach-business-building-school-with-debbie-shadid/id1502118085Subscribe for weekly episodes on building your coaching business, finding clients, and creating the life you actually want: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz6RS8kQGMLJqJrK9uKdjtgTired of spinning in indecision about what to post, how to sell your coaching, or explain what you do?
