Speaking at a virtual summit is one of the fastest ways to get coaching clients as a new coach. This is exactly what happened at the 2026 Design Live Thrive Summit, and we are pulling back the curtain to show you how it works.

If you missed the summit, you can still catch the replay. Go to https://www.designlivethrive.com and get access.

In this post-summit roundtable, Debbie Shadid and co-host Thais Glenn sit down with the Day Two speakers to celebrate real results from real coaches who showed up, gave their talk, and started getting clients the same day. We are talking opt-ins, booked calls, and new clients from women who were brand new to putting themselves out there.

We cover:

• How new coaches got 20+ opt-ins and booked their first client calls within hours of speaking
• Why speaking at a summit works faster than social media for getting coaching clients
• What it looks like to go from unknown coach to trusted expert in one presentation
• How to get your marketing message right so the right clients actually find you

Starting a business, is how you create your own economy in 2026. This is really critical, and I'm not here to scare anyone. I don't want to talk about politics, none of that. I'm just saying like the reality is, there is this financial gap.

55% of women over 50 say they don't have enough saved for retirement. Women live longer, they earn less over a lifetime, and they take more career breaks. The average Social Security check is not going to cover basic expenses for most people. I'll just tell you if you've got this inkling like I need to be doing something else, waiting is going to be the most expensive decision you can make.

But here's what I discovered. Most of the women who are thriving, they're looking to create additional income streams. They're not dependent on one paycheck or what they have in retirement accounts or even on Social Security. I have women who are in their seventies and beyond coming to start coaching businesses. Seriously, 73, 75, 76, 77. Launching coaching businesses. I can tell you for sure it's not too late.

If I haven't yet introduced myself to you, hello, I am Debbie Shadid, business coach and founder of the Business Building Boutique. I've been in business since 2000. I have helped thousands of coaches build profitable businesses with integrity. So I know this same roadmap can work for you too.

Today what I want to do is I want to share some various online business ideas so you can see what route might be best for you. I'll tell you, this isn't theory. This is what I do.

We cover:

• Why service-based businesses are the smartest choice (no inventory, no shipping, no warehouse)
• The real math: you could have five clients paying you $500 a month, that's $30,000 a year
• How to start a side hustle while keeping your full-time job.
• Knowledge is your product. Your experience is your inventory.
• Various service-based business ideas you can start from home

You don't need to go back to school. There's only a few skills that you need, and I would say with the right guidance, that's it. The learning curve is small. I do want to tell you, you're not too old, you're also not too young, you're not too late and you're not behind. I want to invite you to just believe that you're just on time.

Ready to explore what this could look like for you?

You hear about high ticket coaching and the promise of replacing your day job income or building retirement income without working endless hours, and you want that for yourself. Whether you are brand new to coaching or you have been coaching for a while but stuck at lower prices, $5,000 feels impossible right now because you do not know how to get there with real authenticity and integrity.

If you want to charge high ticket prices for your coaching with confidence and integrity, then you will want to watch this video. I am breaking down how to charge for high ticket coaching when you're just starting out using the confidence ladder method.

You do not need to force yourself to charge $5,000 right out of the gate. You do not need to fake it till you make it with pricing that makes you feel like an imposter. You just need a strategic path that builds your confidence, proof, and testimonials at each level.

I am Debbie Shadid, business coach and founder of the Business Building Boutique for Coaches where I have helped thousands of coaches build profitable businesses with integrity. Using the Profitable Coaching Framework you can build the confidence you need to beome a coach who makes high ticket offer.

In this video, I walk you through the Confidence Ladder Framework, the exact method for working your way up to high ticket pricing, starting where you actually are right now, not where some guru says you should be.

- Why you cannot just mindset your way to $5K pricing
- How to actually price your services as a new coach
- How our mindset coach Thais Glenn started at $100 for 4 sessions and now charges thousands
- Why starting lower builds the foundation for sustainable high-ticket pricing
- How to build proof, testimonials, and real confidence at each price point
- The messy middle where you refine your coaching process

Join me and 25+ expert coaches for three days of live transformation, February 12-14. Design Live Thrive Summit is designed for women ready to step into their purpose with clarity and confidence.
