Life Coach Business Building School with Debbie Shadid

If you're a woman over 50 building a coaching business and you've been leaning on AI for everything, this episode might be the most important one you watch all year. AI isn't the bad guy, but the way most coaches are using it is quietly destroying their messaging, their confidence, and their ability to actually sell their coaching.If you're new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid. I'm a Business Growth and Life Coach and the founder of the Business Building Boutique. For over two decades, I've helped women learn how to become coaches, get clients, grow their businesses, and create meaningful income doing work they love.This is a real-talk episode about something nobody else is saying out loud. When you outsource your brain to AI, your audience can feel it, your message goes generic, and your ideal client scrolls right past you. The good news is that this is fixable, and your unfair advantage as a woman over 50 is the thing AI can never copy.In this episode, we'll walk through:Why AI is making it harder for women over 50 to talk about their coachingHow to spot the signs that you've handed your business over to AIWhat your unfair advantage is and why it can't be replacedThe three shifts that bring your real voice back to your marketingWhy your lived experience sells coaching better than any polished scriptHow to use AI as a tool instead of letting it run your businessThe first thing to do before you ever open AI againWhen you make these shifts, your message stops sounding like every other coach online. Your ideal client recognizes herself in your words, your confidence comes back, and you start attracting the women who actually want to work with you. Your stories, your scars, your wisdom, that's the gold mine. Let's put it back into your business.Want help getting clear on your niche without asking AI?

If you're a spiritual coach, transformational coach, intuitive healer, energy worker, or mindset coach who is struggling to get clients, this video is for you. The problem isn't your gifts and it isn't your niche. It's something more specific, and once you see it you can't unsee it.If you're new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid. I'm a Business Growth and Life Coach and the founder of the Business Building Boutique. For over two decades, I've helped women learn how to become coaches, get clients, grow their businesses, and create meaningful income doing work they love.Most spiritual and transformational coaches were trained in their modality but never trained on how to actually market what they do or talk to potential clients in plain language. That's the gap we're fixing today, so you can stop spinning on certifications and niche statements and start getting in front of the women who genuinely need your work.In this video, we'll walk through:Why "I help women step into their power" is keeping you invisibleHow to stop confusing your modality with your businessWhat your ideal client is actually Googling at 11pm (and what she's not saying out loud)The plain-English niche formula that gets people leaning in instead of glazing overHow to test your niche in five minutes without spending another dollarWhy your next certification will not solve this problemThe 3 practical steps to get clear on who you help and how to say itWhen you make this shift, your messaging stops sounding like everyone else in the spiritual space, your ideal client recognizes herself in your words, and your business finally starts working for you. The world needs the gifts you have. They just need to be able to find you first.Ready to get clear on a profitable niche that actually attracts clients?

If you've hired a coach, taken a program, and learned all the things, but you still don't have coaching clients, this video is the honest conversation you need to hear. It's probably not the program. It's probably not your niche. It's the gap between what you know and what you're actually doing.If you're new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid. I'm a Business Growth and Life Coach and the founder of the Business Building Boutique. For over two decades, I've helped women learn how to become coaches, get clients, grow their businesses, and create meaningful income doing work they love.In this episode, I'm calling you out with love. Most coaches who say they're stuck aren't actually stuck on strategy, they're stuck on action. We'll talk about what real marketing looks like in your first year, why you should be spending more time marketing than coaching, and how to break the patterns that are keeping your business from getting off the ground.In this video, we'll walk through:Why most new coaches are doing the wrong work and calling it "building a business"How much time you should actually spend marketing vs. coaching as a beginnerThe hidden traps that keep you stuck (still figuring out your niche, redoing your website, consuming endless content)What real action looks like, five conversations a week, posting even when no one engages, asking for referralsHow to handle the mindset blocks: fear of judgment, imposter syndrome, comparison, and the "I'm not ready yet" trapWhat to do when you bought a program you're not happy with (and how to get your money's worth anyway)The one marketing action to commit to this week to start compounding your resultsHere's the truth: the world needs what you have to offer, but they can only find you if you show up. When you stop watching and start doing, your business stops being an idea and starts becoming real income, real clients, and real impact. This is your wake-up call to do the work.Ready for the kick in the pants that gets you actually moving? Save your seat at my free live workshop.

If you're a coach who's wondering whether you can really build a thriving coaching business while working full-time, raising a family, and starting from scratch - this conversation is for you. Jenny Pena did it, and she's sharing exactly how.If you're new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid. I'm a Business Growth and Life Coach and the founder of the Business Building Boutique. For over two decades, I've helped women learn how to become coaches, get clients, grow their businesses, and create meaningful income doing work they love.Jenny is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach who helps busy professionals lower their A1C, balance blood sugar, and ditch the cravings and brain fog, without extreme diets or hours at the gym. She joined the Business Building Boutique with a passion for coaching but no real structure, and within months she had a website, a podcast, monthly workshops, paying clients, and corporate lunch-and-learn partnerships. Her story is proof that when you treat your coaching like a business, and follow a roadmap, momentum follows.In this episode, we'll walk through:- How Jenny went from finance professional to founding Gen P Coaching after her own health journey with PCOS and pre-diabetes- Why "I have a coaching company" became the mindset shift that opened new doors (including a neighbor who became a corporate client)- How she built her business in just 6 hours a week while working full-time and raising her son- Why workshops became her #1 client conversion tool, and how she uses them- The "fearless" word-of-the-year that pushed her to launch a podcast, host monthly workshops, and partner with doctors- How she powered through the program in one week of focused work and built a 12-month plan from there- Why niching down into pre-diabetes (instead of trying to help everyone) actually attracted MORE of the right clientsIf you've been holding back because you don't have a "perfect" website, a giant audience, or unlimited time - Jenny's story will show you what's possible when you commit to the right structure and stop waiting for everything to be ready. You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need a roadmap and the willingness to take action.Connect with Jenny Pena: Website: https://www.jennypena.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachjenpPath to Better A1C Podcast: https://www.jennypena.com/podcastYoutube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@coachjenpConnect with me, Debbie Shadid: 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/UCz6RS8kQGMLJqJrK9uKdjtgIf this episode was helpful, share it with a coach who's been waiting for theTired of spinning in indecision about what to post, how to sell your coaching, or explain what you do?

Grab our free Masterclass to Grow Your Coaching Business:https://coaching.debbieshadid.com/masterclassLast year I hired two coaches. The biggest investments I had ever made in my life. 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/chaTired of spinning in indecision about what to post, how to sell your coaching, or explain what you do?

You know, I have had so many conversations with coaches who are sitting on something truly powerful and they just cannot find the words to explain it. And I want you to know, that is not a you problem. That is a clarity problem. And clarity is something we can fix.Victoria came to work with me and she told me she was a yoga coach. And I remember thinking, no. That is not it. That is not even close to what you are actually doing with people. And the deeper we went, the more I realized just how special and how specific her gift actually was.Five months later she has a niche that stops people in their tracks, a signature process that is completely her own, and a business foundation she told me she could use to build anything.If you are new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid.

What if growing your coaching business had nothing to do with the algorithm, paid ads, or a perfect funnel? What if it has everything to do with something you already know how to do?In this episode, I'm sharing one of the simplest, most underused strategies for growing your coaching business: talking to people. Not selling. Not pitching. Just having real conversations and letting your business grow naturally from there.If you're new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid.

Not sell. Not pitch. Just tell them. Your neighbour, someone at the grocery store, an old friend you haven't caught up with yet. It counts.Grab the free guide I mentioned.

Starting a business, is how you create your own economy in 2026. This is really critical, and I'm not here to scare anyone. I don't want to talk about politics, none of that. I'm just saying like the reality is, there is this financial gap. 55% of women over 50 say they don't have enough saved for retirement. Women live longer, they earn less over a lifetime, and they take more career breaks. The average Social Security check is not going to cover basic expenses for most people. I'll just tell you if you've got this inkling like I need to be doing something else, waiting is going to be the most expensive decision you can make.But here's what I discovered. Most of the women who are thriving, they're looking to create additional income streams. They're not dependent on one paycheck or what they have in retirement accounts or even on Social Security. I have women who are in their seventies and beyond coming to start coaching businesses. Seriously, 73, 75, 76, 77. Launching coaching businesses. I can tell you for sure it's not too late.If I haven't yet introduced myself to you, hello, I am Debbie Shadid, business coach and founder of the Business Building Boutique. I've been in business since 2000. I have helped thousands of coaches build profitable businesses with integrity. So I know this same roadmap can work for you too.Today what I want to do is I want to share some various online business ideas so you can see what route might be best for you. I'll tell you, this isn't theory. This is what I do. We cover:Why service-based businesses are the smartest choice (no inventory, no shipping, no warehouse)The real math: you could have five clients paying you $500 a month, that's $30,000 a yearHow to start a side hustle while keeping your full-time job.Knowledge is your product. Your experience is your inventory.Various service-based business ideas you can start from homeYou don't need to go back to school. There's only a few skills that you need, and I would say with the right guidance, that's it. The learning curve is small. I do want to tell you, you're not too old, you're also not too young, you're not too late and you're not behind. I want to invite you to just believe that you're just on time.Ready to explore what this could look like for you?Schedule your FREE Business Assessment: debbieshadid.com/scheduleWe'll talk about exactly where you are right now, where you want to go, and what you need to do to get there.

If you want to choose a coaching niche that will actually make you money, then you'll want to listen this episode where we are breaking down the 5 proven factors for selecting a niche that people will pay for in 2026. Here's the truth: most coaches stay stuck on their niche decision for months or even years. They worry about choosing the wrong thing, or they keep changing their mind because nothing feels quite right. But here's what's really happening…while you're stuck in "niche drama," you're making no money and helping nobody. We need to fix this because your niche is the foundation of everything in your coaching business. Without it, you can't market effectively, you can't attract the right clients, and you definitely can't build a profitable business. We cover:The 5 essential factors for choosing a niche that people will actually pay forHow to stop "niche drama" and make a decision you'll stick withWhy narrowing down will help you attract MORE clients and make marketing effortlessBuilding a boutique style coaching business starts with choosing the right niche.

Mindset for coaches in 2026 matters because it directly affects how strategy is carried out day to day. You can have a solid plan, clear steps, and the right support, but if mindset isn’t aligned, follow-through breaks down in subtle ways. In this New Year’s episode, I’m joined by Shannon Beardsmore from House of Manifestation to talk about how mindset and strategy work together, not separately, and why that combination changes how you show up in your business.This conversation focuses on the real places mindset shows up: the language you use with yourself, the decisions you hesitate to make, and the environments and people that influence what feels possible for your coaching business. We talk about why mindset issues often don’t look dramatic, they show up as self-talk, second-guessing, or quietly playing small, even when the strategy itself is sound.Shannon is a facilitator inside House of Manifestation, a global virtual community centered on personal growth, identity work, and aligned action. Her work helps people become more aware of how mindset, language, and environment shape behavior over time. I’m a member myself, and I wanted to bring her into this conversation to explore how mindset supports practical strategy in a grounded, sustainable way.This episode isn’t about positive thinking or manifesting without action. It’s about understanding how mindset influences execution, why who you surround yourself with matters, and how becoming more intentional about identity and language can support consistency and momentum as you build your coaching business.In this episode, you’ll learn:- Why mindset for coaches in 2026 affects how consistently strategy is applied- How language, identity, and environment influence follow-through- Why mindset issues often show up quietly in decision-making- How strategy becomes easier to execute when mindset and support are alignedIf you’re curious to learn more about HOM, click here to join using my link.Connect with Shannon: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonb.ca/ Connect with Debbie:Website: https://www.debbieshadid.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/debbieshadid/YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCz6RS8kQGMLJqJrK9uKdjtg/  Disclaimer: Some of the links shared in this description are affiliate links.

Selling coaching feels hard for many coaches, and in this episode I explain the real reason why selling your coaching feels so uncomfortable or hard.

I break down the beliefs about money, worth, and responsibility that quietly shape how you show up in sales conversations.
