In today’s episode of The Life-First Business Podcast, I'm talking about another common question for new coaches: Should I launch an online course in 2025?

Whether you’re just starting your coaching journey or looking to scale, this episode explores the pros and cons of launching an online course versus focusing on one-on-one coaching. You’ll gain clarity on which approach might be best for your goals and current stage of business.

In This Episode, I Cover:

• Why online courses aren’t always easier to sell despite being lower priced.
• The time and marketing demands of launching a course compared to one-on-one coaching.
• Why starting with one-on-one coaching helps you refine your skills, messaging, and client transformation process.
• How the coaching industry has evolved post-pandemic and what it means for your offers.

Launching a course might seem like the ultimate path to passive income, but it’s not always the easiest or fastest way to build a sustainable coaching business. Starting with one-on-one coaching can help you generate revenue sooner but also allows you to learn invaluable lessons about your clients, your message, and your offer. These insights are crucial for creating a future course that delivers real value and gets results.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to determine whether you’re ready to launch a course or should focus on one-on-one coaching first.
• Why building revenue and skills with one-on-one coaching sets the foundation for future success.
• Insights into industry trends and how client expectations have shifted in recent years
