Ep 257 - The 10 Reasons Why Coaches Fail Part 1 of 2

Debbie Shadid, Business Growth Coach for Life Coaches Season 3 Episode 257

Why do so many talented coaches struggle to get clients and grow their businesses? It’s not because they’re bad at coaching—it’s because they’re making critical mistakes that keep them stuck. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything but still not seeing results, this episode is for you.


In this first part of a two-part series, I’m breaking down the top five reasons why coaches fail. From treating their business like a hobby to struggling with visibility and unclear offers, these are the common traps that hold coaches back from building a profitable business. I’ll also walk you through how to fix these mistakes so you can start attracting and signing clients with confidence.


I’m going to dive into:

  • Why treating your coaching business like a real business changes everything
  • The hidden ways coaches avoid visibility and how to break out of hiding
  • How choosing the wrong niche (or not choosing at all) is keeping you stuck
  • Why relying only on social media won’t bring you consistent clients
  • The biggest mistakes coaches make with their offers (and how to fix them)


If you’re ready to stop struggling and start building a coaching business that actually works, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in now to learn how to avoid these mistakes and set yourself up for success. And don’t forget to join me next week for Part 2, where I’ll reveal the next five reasons why coaches fail!
