WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING
"Debbie, thank you for taking the time to speak with me. I appreciate the confirmation that I'm on the right track with the niche of women over 50 with the disordered eating.
I also am grateful for your transparency and honesty about the realities of the coaching success. The coaches coaching coaches keep hawking the possibility of earning 6 figures and beyond, but it's not so simple.
Thank you for the Canva tutorial.
And most of all, thank you for caring enough and having enough integrity to be honest with me about my next best step.
You could have just hung up the phone, but you instead left me with something of great value. That was the biggest take away of all."
- Devorah S.
"Debbie, my appointment with you was so energizing for me. I knew you were the one that would help me with the largest part of my business. Marketing! Food for thought, if there is no marketing or the right type of marketing there is no business! Ding!
You have the skills, experience, and knowledge of the type of person I want to work with in building my business. You will be my mentor!
Do you remember me telling you about the icebergs? Icebergs are form when glaciers calve, and large pieces of ice fall into the sea or large bodies of water We only see about 10% of the iceberg on top of the water and the other 90% is underwater. You are the glacier with this wealth of knowledge to share. and produce icebergs. (Podcasts) The 15 or 20 mins you put into the podcasts are the tip of the iceberg. The other 90% is under the water. I want to know what the other 90% is for me to learn.
Thank you again"

"I'm so pleased with what I'm getting from the BBB program. Debbie provides specific, actionable feedback in a very timely manner, whether it's during office hours, in the FB group, or via email.. Responsiveness is one of Debbie's hallmark qualities, and it makes the whole BBB experience feel very personalized and intimate--boutique is really the perfect word for it.
I appreciate that Debbie encourages and supports us in sharing with one another during office hours and within the FB group. I like that kind of synergy. I do feel like I'm getting the help I need, and as I said before, Debbie is super responsive.
I can honestly say that joining BBB is a no-brainer. If a coach needs a process to get all the pieces of their business put into place, I don't know a better way and place to do it than this. With the money that I know me and my fellow new coaches have spent on certification and more, this is the most value I've gotten from any program. The only way a coach could leave this six-month program with nothing to show for it is to completely give up and stop doing any work. I think having the mindset sessions with Jennifer is another fantastic aspect of BBB and provides an avenue for making sure that coaches don't quit on themselves and the program."
- Gretta O.
“I really appreciated that Jennifer was willing to chat with me about being Debbie’s client, and my consult with her sealed the deal. All the materials arrived promptly and in an organized fashion, and the client portal is easy to navigate.
I'm receiving more than I expected! I really appreciate how much she helped me shape my copy. All the copywriting and marketing expertise Debbie brings to the table is SO helpful. And I appreciate the little challenges and nudges to get stuff done. I'm really looking forward to what's next as I move into marketing and selling.
I wish I would have hired Debbie sooner. Her A-line coaching and templates gave me the exact frameworks I needed to start writing laser-focused copy, and her coaching motivated me to start getting a lot more done in my business. With her guidance, writing copy feels more dialed in and effortless than ever. I'm amazed by the progress I've made in such a short time, and I finally have the accountability I need to put my fear aside and start the serious marketing my business needs to get to the next level.”
- Kimberly S.
“I love Debbie!!!
Debbie is extremely generous with her time, knowledge, and her huge smile. Every time I’d get off a meeting with her, I’d feel rejuvenated, ready to take action. She not only gave me great ideas but broke everything down into realistic, doable tasks - with deadlines.
I have no doubt that (with Debbie’s help) next year will be amazing!”
- Yael Z.
“I couldn't stop listening episode after episode. "Debbie's podcasts are quick and concise! And LOADED with great information. Thank you, Debbie, for what you've created.”
- Sharon N.
"Thank you, Debbie
My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude! Speaking with you today made my dream seem closer and more real. I am so looking forward to working with you. Your knowledge and my passion will build my business into the successful business it was intended to be!
I feel like I'm 21 again :)
Till we meet again on the 1st. Stay continually Blessed!"
- Shelley P.
“WOW! What an amazing experience this has been! I'm so grateful for your guidance and professional expertise! I do feel confident with where I am in the process largely because of you.”
- Suzanne G.
“Working with Debbie to create my website copy was such an enjoyable collaboration. I was able to just talk through my thoughts and feelings as she captured them and translated them into website copy. To know I have website copy that will speak to my target audience is a huge accomplishment.”
- Pamela R.
“Debbie,
With your coaching I am doing it in a proper way.
Again, I appreciate you are helping me so much above and beyond what you are committed to.Without your help, I almost gave up. But with your love, I am being healed and motivated to continue.
I feel so touched by your love and care. You certainly are passionate and committed. Again, Thank you so much and not enough words to say how much I appreciate what you are doing for me.
I pray God bless you and your family. Thank you again.”
- Sandy R.
"Debbie,
I have to brag because I can't believe this happened this week! It's been such a blessing to have your support. , I feel like I can only do this good because of you and our group. We’re always pushing ourselves to reach our goals!
Thank you for being so good at what you do! 💗🎉 Thanks for always believing in us and pushing us!"
- Gisela W.
“Hi Debbie,
I appreciate so much all the growth and support your program and the people in it have given me. It has meant the world to me. I won't be able to commit to another round as I am ready to give it a shot on my own.
I believe you have a great program and I love the speakers and the social media focus. It was a hard decision to make, as I will miss the support and commradority. I am not the same person I was 6 months ago, and for that, I am eternally grateful.”
- Erin T.
"I've been delighted to work with Debbie. She's my first business coach and more than I could have asked for. Her support transcends simple words and she backs it up with all she does. I couldn't have picked a better coach to help me grow my business."
- Jean H.
Can I brag about my daughter? Please meet Laney. She has a deep desire to help women who suffer from h anxiety. She joined the Business Building Boutique before she was certified and completed both her certification and my coaching programs at the same time - her dedication there is real! We defined her niche, created her signature coaching process for private and group coaching, established a personal brand, launched her website, and created her o, all while she worked full-time as a traveling nurse practitioner. (Did I mention I’m a proud mama?!) Laney’s niche is desperately needed; so many women push themselves to the brink of a breakdown and don’t realize gaining control over their anxiety is possible. There you go, YES, I wrote this because I wanted you to meet Laney.
- Laney C.
"During our group coaching time, Lesley narrowed down her niche to help women break free from anxiety and live with confidence. She has built and launched her website, redesigned her branding, mastered her message for social media, created a lead magnet to collect emails, and so much more. Results require action, and Lesley dove right in and followed the strategies I laid out for her. She’s doing amazing things and is a fantastic coach."
- Lesley M.
"5 years ago, when we started this journey together, I was drowning in my business and every aspect of my life. I thought a coach would help me create more balance at home and in my business. You truly over-delivered on that promise. I definitely wouldn't have made it through the last 5 years without you as a coach, sounding board, and friend. You have seen me through some of the highest highs and lowest lows. Thank you for giving me the permission to fully own every corner of my business and life. I am a better wife, mother, and business owner because of where your methods took me. You are a mama bird kicking us out to soar - and soar we will because we had someone to show us how! I know this isn't goodbye but see you later."
- Ally P.
“I had no doubt from the first class with Debbie that I made the right choice in selecting her as my business-building coach! My first thought was, "Yes!! Finally! Someone who actually has the answers I need!"
I've managed multimillion-dollar businesses thinking, how hard can this be?! Turns out that creating processes, content, locating resources, etc, all on my own vs executing for a fully developed organization I found myself bumping into walls and questioning my every decision. In essence, spinning... I'm learning so much about the "ground up" process that I will use daily for years to come! Life Coach School taught me coaching... Debbie is teaching me how to run a successful business! Killer combo!"
- Stacy B.
"The organization of the program is very good. Each step and module is built to help you create a solid foundation for your business.I loved connecting with other types of coach professionals. The overall content of the program was very thoughtful and professional, with a great format and appropriate length. Debbie answered all of my questions during our group coaching sessions. Her coaching was very helpful and definitely takes your business to the next level."
- Vicki C.
"Last week I completed a strategy session with one of my business mentors. She asked me to think back on 2019 and how I was able to make it the best year of my entire business career. As I think back, I have kept going back to the moment that I decided to hire Debbie.
After being in business for almost 4 years, I had to make a change for myself and an investment in myself. My first step in doing this was hiring Debbie. She allowed me to have a new lense on how I approached my business and how I allowed others to approach it as well. I can now say that I have had my first 6 figure year since opening... I credit this to Debbie and her program and the fact that she truly invests and bonds with each of us.
Being an introvert by nature, this was key in making sure that I was able to be held accountable and that I actually felt a connection to the program . I am grateful !"
- Simone C.
“Debbie! So nice to hear from you!
Our talk has been very helpful. I started giving myself permission to show up more genuinely in my sessions and not hold back in order not to mix up the two methods. I find myself less anxious, more relaxed and much less judgemental (of myself or my clients).
Thank you for checking in. I truly appreciate your generosity and friendship :)”
- Sue S.
“Working with Debbie has really helped me know what's next on the business end of things. Sure I can coach, I'm awesome at that. But figuring out the rest? I felt so lost. Now I have a beautiful website, I understand what the heck COPY means, and have a solid brand that I'm proud of that also resonates with my heart. Working with Debbie has been great!" REH, The Impassioned Life"
- Rachel
"I love the energy you share with the class, the way you believe in your clients, and keep encouraging and helping us forward! Thank you, Debbie!"
- Alicia H.
"I have loved working with Debbie!! She has so much great information on getting your business started. Debbie is very knowledgeable and over-delivers everything you need!"
- Alicia B.
“I've been reflecting on our last session and our time was really valuable. It really helped me get a direction of where I'm going and what I need to do to get there. Just seeing how you run your business, how successful you've been is really inspiring. I always appreciate your guidance, thank you for everything you've done for me so far, Debbie!”
- Johny G.
"Where do I start?? Debbie is literally the only thing that got me to take action in my business. Her templates are priceless, her knowledge is extensive, and she is actively learning more as marketing and best practices evolve. She is both a supportive mama bear and a reality check prodding you along. She shows you how she did it and supports you every step of the way. Her workshops are gold, and she’s not just fluff! If you have been spinning on where to start or there’s so much to do, she will stop the spin and give you clarity."
- Jennifer R.
"I’ve been delighted to work with Debbie. She’s my first business coach and more than I could have asked for. I coach aspiring writers who want to write their first book, and for me, timing is everything. When I began working with Debbie at the beginning of October, I had an idea with a tight timeline. I wanted to support writers participating in NaNoWriMo, an event that happens once a year - in November. With Debbie’s hands-on support and clear direction, I was able to successfully launch my first annual November Novel Program. It was amazing, and at least two books were born as a result. Debbie helped me brand my business, she reviewed and critiqued my copy in the most wonderful way, and she helped me show up with a new level of confidence. Her support transcends simple words. She backs it up with all she does. She’s a connecter, referring business my way, and her enthusiasm for my ideas has been incredibly encouraging. I love working with her. I couldn’t have picked a better coach to help me grow my business."
- Jane S.
"Jo and I have been very happy with your services! I love that you don't sugarcoat anything and just tell us what you believe is best for our business. We have come further in two months with you than we would have in probably a year if we had fumbled around trying to figure this out ourselves. You have been extremely helpful in helping us achieve a professional look designed for our specific niche.
The next BIG thing I want to focus on (probably once the website is up and running) is leveraging your expertise in marketing and showing us how we can reach people that don't know us (since our current clients are all people we know or referrals).
We are very satisfied customers so far!!!”
- Allison S. & Jo M.
“Debbie is the real deal and has the heart of a teacher. She truly makes you feel like it’s doable to have a successful coaching business. I LOVE that Debbie is an A-line coach. We’ve got peers, Scholars, books, and videos to help us with the mindset piece. New coaches are often confused and not sure where to begin. I sure was. Debbie has done a brilliant job of helping me launch my business. You won’t go wrong working with Debbie. She’s had a successful online business for MANY years, so she really knows her stuff and understands the frustration of starting a new business. Debbie doesn’t disappoint!"
Your’s:
~ Authentic
~ Know your sh*t 😉
~ Teacher's heart
~ Wealth of information
~ Generous
~ Go-getter”
- Anna F.
"Over the past decade, I have signed up for many, many courses in the past but have rarely completed one. Until now.
Debbie brings solid real-life entrepreneurial experience combined with her business coaching certification to create transformative results.
Debbie’s program is beautifully thought through. We have gone from clueless to completely clued in! From identifying our own brand and that of our business to branding to Funnels to Opt-ins, Debbie has packed a tremendous amount of information and fluidly delivered it.
She’s fully invested in our success by offering a live weekly class, she welcomes participation and discussion, recordings if you can’t make it, and office hours.
Everyone learns at a different pace, I was fortunate enough to take advantage of Debbie's private coaching so we could really dial in on the things I was struggling with (mostly mindset) so I was able to keep up. Her understanding of business and the coaching method she employs is truly non-judgemental so you’re never afraid to say you don’t understand.
When I launch my course, we’re almost there, it will be because of her. Thank you Debbie for believing in me – together, we make it happen!"
- Nikki B.
"Debbie has been an inspiring individual, who has enlightened me and has made me grow both, as a person and as a businesswoman. She has brought me up to par with the current technologies and introduced me to key people that have helped me upgrade my business platform.
We started working together right in the midst of this pandemic and she gave me a ray of hope and inspired me to keep going; to use the situation as a learning experience from which to come out stronger at the end.
Debbie genuinely wants to help women in business and we all leave motivated, with a new vision and ideas after each of our Zoom meetings. Even though I have been in business for over 2 decades, she teaches me something new every day.
I am grateful and thankful that fate brought us together, Debbie has been an angel! Her coaching has been, without a doubt, money well spent.
All my gratitude."
- Luisa
"I met Debbie let's say at the right time. I had started my business, at least I think I had started: I had a business name, a logo, a couple of events for which I wasn’t getting paid for under my belt. I did not know what to do next, I got stuck between how to make my brand stand and how to retain clients, so I decided to put my business on break. When I felt like it was time to get back at it, at the right time, I met Debbie. Her ads popped up on my Instagram feed.
Our consultation call went well, she made me feel like I could really accomplish what I wanted to in my business. I loved her program when she described it in detail, and I thought the price was just right! It didn’t take me long to say YES. I really wanted a change and I had to admit that it wasn’t going to happen by me sitting at home. I had to figure out my schedule, and my time to put in between work, school, and taking care of my husband. Was it a lot? Yes, but I had to set up priorities and my husband supported me along the way.
During the program, I was able to create a standout brand, launch my website, and launch a professional a looking business.
Every meeting was a boost, and meeting other women from the program at the retreat was just amazing! I really met great friends and business partners I can reach out to for advice.
Debbie was just amazing! She saved my business, and I can’t really put in words how she changed my life!
Thanks"

“I can't believe how much working with Debbie has done to improve my bottom line! In the past 6 months of working with Debbie, my sales have increased by 3X!!!”
- Becca D.
"Debbie Shadid is the Bomb!
My Business and I were all over the place. I was doing and using whatever I thought looked cute. Personal style and Business Branding were not in my vocabulary. And forget about networking, I thought that was helping the competition. I knew there had to be a way for things to come together and make sense.
I started researching Business Coaches and found a lot, but none of them seemed right. None of them specialized in Coaching for Women. Then I saw a post from Debbie and scheduled a call. We discussed the details and signed up.
Let me tell you, IT WAS THE BEST THING I COULD HAVE DONE FOR MY BUSINESS AND MY PIECE OF MIND. DEBBIE HAS CENTERED ME AND MY BUSINESS!!! I understand my personal style is part of my business and branding does matter. Networking is a must if you want your business to succeed and grow. I’ve learned a great deal so far and I’m looking forward to learning even more.
Ladies, if you're starting a business, Debbie Shadid is a MUST! So, schedule a call with her; I promise you won't regret it."
- Kim H.
"I recommend Debbie’s program all the time. She is a wealth of knowledge and a great teacher."
- Catrina R.
"Thank you. I needed this today. Deserving has been a new journey to grow into. Gracias amiga."
- Marlene M.
"I always read your emails, although I never respond. You are AMAZING!!"
- Nakeita K.
"Debbie!!!! I had to tell you right away, I have just booked my first international client!! I'm working with a couple from my home state too and they paid my full rate. I wouldn't have had the confidence to do this without a business growth system in place. Thank you so much for all your help & guidance! Sending you so much love!"
- Becca D.
"Debbie! Sorry to text so early in the morning.
Just wanted to let you know that along with booking my client and the client paying it off completely right away, I have a meeting with a new client on Monday and a phone meeting tonight at 8:30 p.m. with another one.
I’ve invested in other coaches and not made progress and within just 2-3 weeks of working with you, I have one client and potentially two more.
I'm just so excited and hopeful about this. I can't say thanks enough! Just that one sessionl with you and I took your suggestion and went with it, it has made a difference already. I feel really good about this.
I'll keep you posted."
- Luvone W.
"Ladies, I had ONE session with Debbie Shadid, and I immediately booked THREE clients…in ONE week! I already know how to handle the creative side of things, but I struggle with how to handle the business side. But [Debbie] is giving me a step-by-step plan that is well thought out and completely manageable. She is taking away the guesswork and the potential wasted years of trial and error. I’m just following her suggestions and that is enabling me to focus on what I love..
Thank you, Debbie! You. Are. Awesome.”
- Susan H.
“As a course coach with 11 years of experience online, I've had a lot of coaches. From my first year in business, I started investing in myself and my business to learn the strategies and shortcuts to success- because it works! I always uplevel my income and who I am as
a CEO. I've participated in several masterminds, group programs, countless courses, and 1-to-1 coaching.
When I decided to work with Debbie, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd never had a Life Coach before.
It has been amazing! Debbie's unique way of shifting the things holding me back has been life-changing and always unexpected. I go into a session thinking I need coaching on something, but each time we dig deeper to find the root of the issues. This is what shifts everything so quickly! Her method helps not by convincing you to believe something impossible but to help you see how you change your thoughts slightly and get an entirely different result (that's much better!)
I'm addicted to Debbie and her coaching and will continue to have her coach me for a long time.”
- Donna A.
"I love everything about Debbie’s program. I appreciate Debbie literally taking the time to help me with whatever I needed advice and help on.
The video training was very helpful, and nothing is missing. I love the group calls as they keep me from procrastinating, and even if I had nothing new to share, listening to others always inspired me to keep moving on. I’m grateful for all the help and understanding Debbie provided me.
I’m glad we decided to invest in this, which was investing in myself, and my business.
I would recommend Debbie to anyone. I’m grateful for all the help and understanding Debbie provided me.
When I asked my husband, my partner, if he was going to allow me to dedicate to my business 100%, and he said yes, I told him that I felt like the first step was getting Debbie's help. And I was right."
- Karyna T.
"Debbie is amazing! She’s the only coach I know who wants her clients' businesses to succeed as much as they do! She goes above and beyond. And it shows by how many of her clients get the results they are after!
I have never had a better cost-to-value ratio. She gives it all to you! No holding back!
"Even though I had been a coach for two years prior to meeting her, it wasn’t until after working with her that I finally felt like a legitimate business. After meeting her in Jan of 2021, I doubled my income from the previous year. Hire her!"
- Lesley M.
"Debbie is an amazing coach! Her program is so full of valuable content every week. I truly did not know where to begin with my marketing, and so her program gave me the perfect framework to work from. When I created my first paid client, she walked me through the process of purchasing a contract as well as invoicing my client. She was also able to guide me personally with my branding and niche. She really knows her stuff and is so generous in sharing her knowledge and energy! I truly am grateful for your coaching and your time."
- Christine V.
"Debbie, the word that describes BBB and the VIP is handholding. I tell people that you and Thais have me in the palm of your hand, both with building biz and mindset coaching. Such a generous and professional program!
I'm constantly amazed at how Debbie over-delivers. With a bounty of step-by-step "How to" guidance, live group coaching calls, combined with on-target mindset coaching, assure me that I CAN and WILL fulfill my goal of launching my business in in 2024 - without a doubt. "
