How to Know You’re Ready to Create an Online Course

Thinking about launching an online course but not sure if it’s the right time? Or maybe you’re overwhelmed by tech, pricing, and the idea that it has to be perfect before you start?

In this episode of Heart-Led Hustle, I break down the real signs you’re ready to create a course and how to avoid the common pitfalls that lead to overwhelm. 

We’ll talk about:
• Why the best course ideas often come straight from what you’re already teaching 1:1 or in workshops
• How to validate your idea by listening to what your audience is actually asking for
• Why you don’t need fancy platforms or tech—you can start with Google Drive and Loom videos
• How to design a curriculum that builds step by step and keeps students engaged
• Simple strategies for pricing and adding depth without overcomplicating things

If you’ve been sitting on the idea of creating a course, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a clear path to get started.
