Life Coach Business Building School with Debbie Shadid

Self-doubt isn’t just a phase—it’s one of the biggest reasons coaches stay stuck. The difference between those who struggle and those who succeed isn’t talent or luck. It’s learning how to manage your mind and take action anyway.

In this episode, I’m sharing the self-coaching method I use to break through fear, imposter syndrome, and procrastination. You’ll learn how to shift limiting beliefs, build daily habits that keep you moving forward, and train yourself to stay consistent—no matter what doubts come up. Plus, I’ll introduce my simple Take 5 Method, a quick way to self-coach in just minutes a day.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• Why self-doubt happens even when you’re successful and how to handle it
• The most common limiting beliefs that keep coaches stuck
• How to shift your mindset in real-time so fear doesn’t hold you back
• My Take 5 Method for self-coaching in just minutes a day
• Practical steps to build confidence and stay consistent in your business

So if you’re working through self-doubt or just curious about how I do it, be sure to tune in and let’s work on your mindset blocks together!

The number one key rule to being a successful coach is: winners don’t quit. But how do you continue to show up during the times that you’re not motivated or you’re feeling some self doubt?

In this episode, I take you inside my own self-coaching session, where I uncovered a sneaky mindset block that was holding me back from fully showing up in my business. After spending nearly a year restructuring my business, I found myself hesitating to sell again, not because I didn’t know how, but because unintentional thoughts were creating self-doubt. Realizing this, I created the SHIFT Method, a simple framework designed to help you overcome fear, take consistent action, and build the habits that lead to long-term success.

Self-doubt is something we all experience as coaches, especially when we step into new territory. So if you ever find yourself feeling that antsy uncertainty again, the SHIFT Method can help you move through it. Tune in to episode 250 to learn more!

Group coaching isn’t just about learning. It’s about accelerating your growth, staying accountable, and surrounding yourself with people who push you to take action.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real benefits of group coaching, from the power of collective learning to the motivation that only comes from being in a room full of action takers. You’ll learn why so many coaches who start with private clients eventually realize they need a group to scale and how the right coaching group can help you break through limiting beliefs, gain clarity faster, and move forward with confidence.

If you’re on the fence about joining a group coaching program and wondering if it’s the right move for your business, tune in now—this might just be the shift in perspective you need.

Here’s a secret: building a smaller coaching business might actually bring you more freedom and fulfillment than chasing six or seven figures.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the truth about what it really takes to create a profitable coaching business—whether you’re aiming for $50K, $100K, or beyond. I’ll explain the difference between a boutique coaching business and scaling to multiple six figures, so you can decide what kind of business truly aligns with your lifestyle and goals.

We’ll dive into the essentials of growing a sustainable business, including how to structure your time, why marketing takes more effort than you might expect, and what to consider when setting your income goals. Plus, I’ll share why so many coaches underestimate the workload that comes with scaling—and why a smaller, well-run coaching business might be the sweet spot you’ve been looking for.

If you want to build a coaching business that supports your life without burning out, this episode is for you. Tune in now and start creating the business that works for you!

 Is it possible to sell your coaching WITHOUT social media?

The answer is a resounding YES! In this episode, I dive into the often-overlooked strategies for marketing your coaching business beyond Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok. While social media can be a powerful tool, the reality is that these platforms are borrowed spaces—we don’t own them, and if they disappeared tomorrow, so would our audience. That’s why it’s essential to build a marketing strategy that stands the test of time.  

I’ll share practical ways to attract clients offline, from leveraging speaking opportunities to growing through referrals and word-of-mouth. These are the same strategies that helped me bring in clients long before social media or even Google existed, and they’re just as effective today.  

So whether you’re an introvert, new to coaching, or simply looking for alternative ways to market your business, this episode will give you fresh inspiration and actionable steps. Tune in now and start building a coaching business that thrives—social media or not!
