This week, we’re diving into the fascinating shift happening in the online course industry, spotlighting Amy Porterfield's recent decision to close her Digital Course Academy. As we unpack this change, we explore how more entrepreneurs are gravitating towards community and accountability rather than solitary course completion.
I’ve seen this trend myself in my own business, where I’m focusing more on intimate group learning experiences that foster engagement and support.
We also chat about the importance of staying aware of what’s happening in our industries and how that can influence our own strategies for growth.
So, grab your snow shovels—or just a cozy drink—and let’s get into the nitty-gritty of evolving business models and the joy of doing what we love!
Louise opens the discussion with a light-hearted anecdote about the recent snowfall, which provided a rare opportunity for her family to build snowmen. This cheerful moment sets the tone for a deeper conversation about the evolving landscape of online business coaching, particularly in the realm of LinkedIn and digital courses.
Drawing from her experiences, Louise reflects on the recent announcement by Amy Porterfield regarding the closure of her popular Digital Course Academy. This pivot reflects a broader trend in the online education space, where more entrepreneurs are seeking personalized support rather than traditional course formats.

As she draws parallels between her journey and Amy's, Louise invites listeners to consider how they can also adapt and thrive in their industries by paying attention to the shifts happening around them.
Transitioning into the heart of the episode, Louise discusses the significance of adaptation in business.
