2025 Online Business Trends: 3 must-know trends for female course creators in 2025

If you’re feeling stuck in the weeds of your business and feeling like it’s impossible to make a reasonable revenue and work part-time hours, I hope today’s podcast episode delivers the inspiration and drive as we travel into New Year that… it’s possible. In fact, it’s more than possible, it’s reasonable, and absolutely achievable for anyone. And I hit my first six figure business in just six hours per week (and grew from there) between naptimes and a part-time corporate job and today I’m sharing with you exactly how I achieved that and the core things I think were pivotal to achieving that result. This episode is packed with practical advice and reflections that’ll help you reimagine how you approach your business in 2025. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
  • 00:01 My journey to six figures while juggling a part-time job and parenting two young children.
  • 07:45 The scary decisions I made to streamline my business and reclaim time (and why self-belief might be one of your biggest assets)
  • 12:02 Why outsourcing is a game changer—and where to start.
  • 17:30 How live launching and email list growth doubled my revenue (and why it’s worth the sprint).
  • 23:45 The top strategies I used to grow my audience and attract ideal clients.
  • 31:00 Reflecting on 2024 and planning for a time-leveraged, scalable 2025.
