    EP 382 - Why AI Is Actually the Best Thing to Happen to Your Coaching Business

    If you've been wondering whether AI is going to replace what you do as a coach, I watched something happen this week that changed how I think about that completely. It shifted my perspective to see how AI is actually the best thing to happen to your coaching business.  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. The gap in human connection isn't closing. It's growing every single day, and it can only become your business if you're decisive enough to keep showing up in it. The world needs what you have to offer. Grab the free Take 5 Guide for Coaches here: https://debbieshadid.com/take5 Connect with me, Debbie Shadid: Website: https://www.debbieshadid.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debbieshadid/ AI is actually the best thing to happen to your coaching business. Discover why this tech shift creates a massive opportunity. Many coaches fear that automation will replace their work, but the reality is quite different. During the recent Design Live Thrive Summit, it became clear that AI for coaches is not shrinking the industry; it is actually widening the gap for human connection. This shift creates a massive opening for those ready to claim their space. Building a boutique coaching practice requires you to lean into your unique value. By focusing on your specific audience and naming the problems they face, you stand out more effectively than ever. This approach ensures your coaching business remains relevant, personal, and highly impactful in an automated world. Your coaching career depends on your ability to show up decisively. When you get specific about who you serve, you create a stronger business growth strategy that resonates with your ideal clients.

    EP 381 - You're One Person Away From Changing Your Coaching Business

    If you're a coach who's doing everything right but still stuck waiting on your next client, this episode is going to shift how you think about marketing for good.  We often overlook the potential in our immediate circles. Whether it is a neighbor or a casual acquaintance, the person who changes the trajectory of your work is likely already within your reach. This perspective shift helps you see networking strategies differently, moving away from forced tactics toward genuine curiosity. Finding new opportunities does not always require massive outreach campaigns or cold pitching strangers. By remaining open to the people around you, you create space for organic professional connections that can lead to unexpected success. It is about recognizing that influence often hides in plain sight. 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. You need a different lens on the marketing you're already doing, and it starts with realizing you're only one conversation away from the thing that changes everything.

    EP 380 - Coaching Business Not Working? Do This Today To Grow in 2026

    If your business isn't working and you're thinking, "I've tried everything, nobody's interested, I'm about to give up," this one's for you. It's short, but it might be the most useful ten minutes you spend on your business this week. I'm going to give you three honest things to check today, and I promise one of them will show you exactly what needs to shift. 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, without paid ads and without complicated tech. Here's the thing. When someone tells me they've tried everything, we almost always find that they haven't, or that something quietly needs to change. Let's find yours. In this episode, we'll walk through: • Step one: study three coaches who are genuinely successful doing what you do, and how to confirm they're actually making sales • How to feed those three competitors into ChatGPT or Claude to spot the exact gap in your own marketing • Why this is modeling success, never copying, and where that line is • Step two: the honest conversation about what marketing you're truly doing, not what you think you're doing • Why "I tried Instagram and it didn't work" usually isn't true, and what social media is actually for • The minimum five free ways to market your business, done consistently • Why a post nobody likes still did its job • Step three: the mindset check, and how certainty quietly creates your results • The "Certain Way" from The Science of Getting Rich, and the proof already sitting in your own life • Why stopping your marketing for even a week breaks your own momentum Here's what I want you to hold onto. Businesses aren't built on a few posts. They're built on consistent action, day after day, even when you can't see the results yet. Check your competition, check your marketing, check your mindset, and then keep going. Do the work consistently, and you will create the business you want.

    EP 377 - How To Market Your Therapy Practice in 2026: 5 Women Who Started Their Online Therapy Business

    If you provide therapy in any form and want to build your online practice, this video is for you. I brought together five women who are all in the therapy field, and who have all recently started their online coaching business. We're talking about how they made the move, where the line between therapy and coaching really is, and the opportunity waiting for you if you've been coaching-curious. 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 build coaching businesses, and I have a special love for helping therapists step into coaching without losing everything they've worked so hard to build. So many therapists are quietly on the fence about this. They wonder if coaching is legitimate, whether they'd be lowering themselves, or how to stay on the right side of the ethical line. This conversation answers all of it, from women who've actually done it. Connect with our guests (links below): • Jennifer Flanders, life and career coach for psychotherapists: http://www.jenniferflanderscoaching.com  • Dr. Michelle Alden, family and challenging-behaviors specialist: https://www.parentingchallengingkids.com • Marcia Landon, helping women write their next chapter: https://www.marciaelandon.com  • Erin Fisher, helping women reframe anxiety: http://www.erinfishercoaching.com • Dr. Cheryl Williams-Jackson, burnout, mental wellness, and resilience: https://drcherylcoaching.co/ Are you a therapist wanting to start your online business?
