Lincolnshire-based business coach Steph Ward, founder of The Forward Biz, has unveiled The Evergreen Academy, a new venture helping coaches, consultants, and trainers develop scalable online courses and unlock passive income potential.
The Academy’s six-step framework has been designed to take professionals on a structured journey from concept to revenue generation. It covers essential areas including brand development, course structure, video production, automated sales funnels, and digital growth systems, giving participants the tools to create evergreen courses that deliver long-term financial freedom.
Ward brings a wealth of experience to the initiative, having held leadership positions at McDonald’s and Siemens, led product development within retail and marketing, and co-owned a successful property development company. She has also worked extensively with training businesses transitioning to digital-first models.
Explaining her motivation for launching the Academy, Steph Ward said:
“I wanted to reclaim my time and freedom while building a business that allowed me to be fully present for my young son. Many talented professionals reach a ceiling because they are stuck exchanging hours for income. The Evergreen Academy is about creating a business that scales without the need for 24/7 hustle.”
With increasing numbers of entrepreneurs exploring digital-first business strategies, Ward sees The Evergreen Academy as a practical solution for professionals wanting to diversify income, work flexibly, and grow their brands on a national scale.
