Not too long ago, I was working 50 hours a week with clients, probably another 15 on admin, and I had nothing to show for it apart from £30k in credit card debt and a bilateral herniation of my lower back which gave me sciatica so bad that I landed in the surgery at just 31.

Fast forward to now and I'm debt free, working less than 25 hours most weeks, and travelling the world with my husband, Aidan, who left his corporate job to help me run the business. 

My life today is the direct result of one thing: learning how to create, launch and scale online courses. 

It's given us financial freedom (including replacing both our old wages with passive income), and location independence - so we can work from home, a local coffee shop, or by the pool in whichever country we're visiting that month. 

As a proud working class woman from the North of England who left school at 16 and home at 18, with no business degree or financial backing, I know that if I've done this, it's available for you too.
