Why You Don’t Need to Be an Expert to Start Teaching Online
Apr 13, 2025
In case you needed the reminder: You already have what it takes.
When my husband and I first dreamed of creating our own course, we were excited… and completely stuck. We kept asking ourselves:
"Who would listen to us?"
"What if we don’t know enough?"
"Shouldn’t we wait until we’re real ‘experts’?"
But everything changed when we realized you don’t need to be an expert to help people, you just need to be real.
What You’ve Lived Is What People Need
People don’t want a distant guru. They want someone who’s been in their shoes, felt what they’re feeling, and found a way forward.
And That’s you.
If you’ve solved a problem, even just for yourself, you can help someone else do the same. You don’t need all the answers. You just need to be one or two steps ahead.
Your Voice Matters (More Than You Think)
The way you explain something… The way you show up… The way you make someone feel like it’s possible... That’s powerful!
And guess what? You don’t need a fancy background, a huge following, or a perfect plan.
You just need a willingness to start, to share what you know, and to support others as they grow.
Here’s What You Really Need
Forget the expert title. Here’s what actually matters:
✅ A result you’ve already created (big or small)
✅ A heart to help others get there too
✅ A simple system to share your knowledge (we could help with that)
✅ The courage to begin, even if it feels a little messy
We Built Our Business as Beginners
When we launched our first offer, we were figuring it all out as we went. It wasn’t perfect, but it was honest, and that’s what connected with people.
Now, we've helped others do the same. Not because we had all the credentials, but because we showed up and kept going. And you can too.
❝You don’t need to be the expert. You just need to be someone who’s willing to show up, share, and help.❞
✨ Final Thoughts
You don’t need permission.
You don’t need to wait until you “know more.”
You just need to start, right where you are, with what you’ve already lived and learned.
Because someone out there is looking for your voice, your style, your support.
Let’s go build something that changes lives, starting with yours💚
