Lincolnshire entrepreneur Steph Ward, founder of The Forward Biz, has launched The Evergreen Academy, a new initiative designed to support coaches, consultants, and trainers in building scalable, passive income streams through online course creation.
The Evergreen Academy follows a structured six-step framework that guides entrepreneurs from idea to income. The programme covers brand development, course design, video production, sales systems, and automation, offering a clear roadmap for building evergreen online courses that generate predictable, recurring revenue.
Ward’s professional background includes leadership roles at McDonald’s and Siemens, product development experience in retail and marketing, and co-ownership of a property development company. She has also successfully supported training businesses transitioning to online models.
Explaining the inspiration behind her latest venture, 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.”
The launch comes as more entrepreneurs and service-based businesses embrace digital-first strategies. With Lincolnshire’s business community increasingly focused on digital innovation and flexible working models, Ward believes The Evergreen Academy can help professionals future-proof their income and compete nationally.
