I'm Debbie Shadid,

I show life coaches how to grow their business. {Simply put- I help you get clients.}

I've helped hundreds of women do the same over the last 25 years. I know what it's like to keep everything going (personally) and to grow a business simultaneously. I’m here to help and support you.

We (women) are responsible for so many things. I’m on a mission to make the process of growing a business super simple.  

Business doesn't have to be hard. You don't need complicated marketing to make lots of money. 

Here's my biggest piece of advice- 

Don't wait to get help. The frustration, overwhelm, worry, and sleepless nights are not worth it. Let me show you what to do. The world needs you.

Meet Thais Glenn

I am the Business Mindset Coach and the Client Success Coach inside the Building Business Boutique.

I am here to help you succeed.

There’s not one size fits all when building a business. We all have different abilities and past experiences that influence how we act today.

The Building Business Boutique offers you a proven step-by-step process on how to create the business foundation you need to receive clients on a consistent basis.

While building a business, you want direction and a strategy, and that’s exactly what Debbie offers. That’s her expertise. But when it’s time to take the action she offers you, the fear comes up, and you might feel paralyzed. Then, the shame for not taking action kicks in, and you start to believe that you can’t do this.

I am here to help you through that hump. 

We want you to know that feeling overwhelmed is not only normal but expected. There’s nothing wrong with you. 

But most of the hardship of building a business comes from our inability to manage our minds, process our emotions, and focus on what matters the most. 

I am trained in Mindset, Positive Psychology, and Positive Intelligence, using neuroscience to rewire your brain so you can create the best version of yourself.

I specialize in Identity and Future-Self work, helping you transform how you see yourself to create the identity of an entrepreneur who enjoys being in business. 

Here’s my biggest piece of advice:

Tell yourself the truth of what’s happening within. Journal about it, and become aware and familiar with your fears. You know your body (and brain) best, and the only way for you to move forward is by being honest with yourself. 

“Every progress starts by telling the truth” is my favorite quote of all times. The only way to make leaps of progress is when you are able to see your fears and limitations and embrace them head-on. 

Fun Facts

• After 5 years of infertility, I had my first son with a little help from technology, modern science, and medicine. Then, exactly a year later, I was surprised by my twin pregnancy, and I held them full term.

• Moved from Brazil knowing only 100 verbs and made more friends in my first month in the USA than I've made most of my life in Brazil.

• I am a morning person who naturally wakes up between 4:30 and 5 am without an alarm.

• Obsessed with journaling and self-growth. And books… all the books!! Give me another book!!

I, together with our amazing Business Strategist and Founder of BBB, Debbie Shadid, our wonderful Mindset and Client Success Coach, Thais Glenn, talented and phenomenal Website Specialist Christine Quinones, and lastly, our wonderful Podcast Manager and Social Media Specialist, Tisha Ambal-Garcia, will make sure that you finish the Business Building Boutique Program with the confidence and qualities of a coach that will attract their ideal clients.

If there’s any advice I could give, I want you to know that all things will fall into place if you do the work. We can only do so much to support you, and the success still lies with you.

You’ll be equipped if you allow yourself to be.

Fun Facts

• I was supposed to pursue being a flight attendant/cabin crew as I would be able to travel while helping people in the aircraft, but I still got to do the same and achieve more with the career I have now — helping people like you and connecting with them, and I still get to travel with my laptop with me. It’s honestly a win!

• I have an on-and-off relationship with Matcha. Coffee still occupies a huge part of my heart. Tea is starting to enter into the picture, too—a third party. 😂

• I’m a person with a lot of hobbies! I tried journaling, collecting stationery (yes, it’s a hobby in itself), diamond painting, painting by numbers, punch needling, photography, building legos, and more. One thing is for sure, I’m definitely a creative by nature!

• Dogs are cute, but I prefer cats more. I dream of having a Ragdoll or Siamese in the future.

Fun Facts

• I am a Registered Pharmacist by profession in the Philippines but my love for design and technology brought me here.

• I love dressing up but I also don’t mind looking boring if we're talking about being comfy.

• The only makeup I have is a lipstick 😂

• I thrive more in being alone and being with a lot of people, socializing - drains my energy.

My advice?

Just do it. It may seem icky at first, but when you keep doing it, you’ll eventually get the hang of it. We all start somewhere, right? So just create your post, and actually post it. Do this consistently and soon you’ll see your community growing!

• I’m a yam artist - I create art through crochet, knit, weaving, needlepoint, macrame, etc.

• I used to be an events and radio host back in University

• I took up a degree in agriculture thinking I would be fulfilling my father’s dream of having a farm.
