Life Coach Business Building School with Debbie Shadid

02/15/23 • 25 min

Do you have ongoing doubts about your niche? Does this uncertainty leave you stalled out in your business?
In today’s episode of the Life Coach Business Building Podcast, I’m speaking with Erin Thompson, a Performance and Confidence Coach for Senior Living Leaders. We discuss how Erin determined her most viable and profitable niche. We talk about her love for “my people with the gray hair” and her desire to support Senior Living Leaders.
Through coaching, exploration, and a mindset shift, Erin began to feel more confident about her coaching. She now knows she can make a difference in both fields, inspiring her to take her business to the next level.
As we work to grow our coaching businesses, it can be tempting to try and be everything to everybody, but when it comes down to it, it's important to narrow your focus. When you hone in on a specific area and become an expert in that field, you will be able to provide higher-quality services and gain more clients.
So if you’re ready to make your business stand out and increase your profitability, then be sure to tune in and learn from Erin Thompson's journey!

Ep 186 - Practical Steps to Improve Time Management

Life Coach Business Building School with Debbie Shadid

12/13/23 • 14 min

Does it feel like there always needs to be more time to do what you want or need to do in your business?

I’ve felt that way plenty of times. I always said, 'I don't have enough time.' I felt trapped by time. I didn’t have the time to do everything I wanted for my business.I knew I needed to break the cycle of letting that be my go-to thought, so I got lots of coaching. I even set the intention to solve this when I attended a recent event hosted by Tonya Leigh, founder of the School of Self-Image. During this event, I was able to work through this limiting belief and shift into one of abundance.

And so for this week’s episode, I will be sharing about my transformative experience at the SOSI South event in November, led by Coach Tonya Leigh. We’ll explore ways to stop obsessing about time, focus on just being present, and look for possibilities to make time work better for you. Stay tuned until the end for insights and practical tips on managing your time, intentionally showing up differently, and creating more spaciousness in your coaching business and everyday life.

EP 64 Hard Love: Why Your Business isn't Growing

Life Coach Business Building School with Debbie Shadid

In this episode...

Hard Love: Why Your Business isn't Growing

Women’s Growth + Success coach, Debbie Shadid, is getting real today with some hard love on what’s causing your business growth to falter.

Too many of you are missing such a big piece in your business.

You've started a business or have been in business for a long time.

You've taken all the classes, paid for education to be certified, watched all the webinars, absorbed all the YouTube videos.

You're advancing your skill and that feels good! You know the more knowledgeable you are the more value you can bring your clients - so you continue to sign up for all the classes.

But you’re not growing the way you thought you would. What’s the deal?

Hear me on this - the classes and the webinars and the freebies aren’t what get you hired.

You get hired when you keep putting yourself out there over and over.

When you’re getting in front of people by opening conversations, planning your content, and managing your business like a CEO.

If you’re doing nothing but soaking up education, no one knows who you are!

So many people think they can turn their passion into a business and “if you build it, they will come” and that simply isn’t true in this day and age.

A logo and an LLC isn’t enough.

You need an actual plan to get your business out there in front of people AND have all of the business-y stuff set up.

Hear me - there is too much competition out there to not address all of the business pieces.

You can have a cute little side hustle or a full fledged business. Neither is bad - but it’s up to YOU to decide which you want and make your efforts match that goal.

If you're feeling a little sick right now as I say this- you need help.

If you have a question about any of this: stop now and pick a time to talk to me.

Don't go a year or 5 years waiting and wondering what you're doing wrong. Whatever is going on in your business is not new to me, it can be fixed Now so you can have the business work- bringing in inquiries, where you know what to say, where you know your price is right.
