Why I built the course

This has been a project I wanted to build for a long time. The best way to learn something is by getting hands-on and building a project. That’s how I know I learn best.

I wanted to build a Google Sheets beginners to pro course that I wanted when I first started in the world of Google Sheets. Something with real-life examples and a set of projects that I can build and maybe even modify and reuse in the future. Something that not only gives me the how-toos but the why I should be building and designing my spreadsheets in a certain way.

Go on, check out the link to find out more about the course and try out the first 5 chapters on me. I know you are going to get a lot out of it.
