Are you overcomplicating your business?
I bet you are.
Most small businesses do.
They see all the shiny things that are on the market, and that their competitors have, and they thing that they need to have all of those in order to achieve their goals too.
But, it doesn't have to be that way.
It can be VERY easy for you to build documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and forms for your business and clients, and do it yourself, in a professional way.

Open the door to the power and possibilities that Microsoft 365 offers for your business
Look, you have enough to do.
You are already busy enough dealing with life, and all of it's challenges! Then, with your business-owner hat on, you have to tackle:
- Contracts
- Feedback Forms
- Presentations
- Finances and tax stuff
- Client Meetings
- Enquiries
- Marketing...
Oh, and you need to actually do the work that makes your business money!
So, I'm making it easier for you to do that in your business!
Introducing Microsoft 101, my self-paced online course, designed to help you get to grips with features, tools and functions of 12 of the apps and programs that you already have access to inside your existing Microsoft 365 Business subscription.
Microsoft 101 is not overwhelming or full of tech speak, which is where so many other Microsoft training programs lose and confuse you.
And you will easily be able to take action in each tutorial as you work alongside me, to build your skills and confidence in creating content that suits YOU and your business.
Microsoft 101 is designed SPECIFICALLY to help you learn how to use the apps and tools inside Microsoft 365 (*cough* - actually use what you are paying for - *cough*)
AND
I teach you how to use those apps, features and tools so that your business has a solid foundation (yeah, I know you want to do the fancy stuff too, but there is LITERALLY NO POINT doing that until you have a solid bank of knowledge and confidence in working in, and with, the tools that make the fancy stuff work!).
You get 13 modules in the course, made up of bite-sized video tutorials that walk you through a specific feature or function. You can watch or listen to them in your own time, at your own pace. You can download the resources to keep AND you can get it all on your phone using our App, so you can plug in and learn whenever and wherever suits you.
PLUS, each module includes resources you can download or print off so that you can build on the skills you learn in the course ... across your entire business!
Over $1,700 value for just ... $497 AUD!
The beauty of my online training is that you're going to be able to start taking action as early as the first module, and as you move through the course, your confidence and skills will continue to grow ...
Without you taking on any new subscriptions, logins, or systems!
Imagine knowing exactly what steps you need to take to create the perfect document, spreadsheet or form for your business - at any time. How good would THAT be?

FAQ
I've tried other courses before. How do I know this will work for me?
I've designed the Microsoft 101 course to be THE fundamental course for working with Microsoft 365 that is based on the features and tools that you NEED TO KNOW in order to use the programs. You're going to start at the very beginning, and gain a true understanding of what each program does, why it does it the way it does, and how you can use those tools to take your own content and systems to the next level.
I work full-time/am already stretch to capacity/have a gazillion other things on my to-do list already - how do I know I'll be able to get through this?
I create my courses for people just like you, who are already busy and don't have a ton of time to consume large blocks of content and complete homework and quizzes. That's why I deliver bite-sized content that you can consume on the go and take action on ASAP.
My business is product-based /service-based - will it suit me?
Microsoft 101 is based on the universal foundations of each of the Microsoft 365 apps, that are applicable for all sorts of businesses. When we talk about "will this work for my business/job/role/team" we're talking about features and benefits, not specific pieces of content or processes. Microsoft 101 is rooted in the core functions and features that you can use in a multitude of ways across all industries.
Who is this NOT for?
This course is designed to help you build a solid foundation of skills to help you understand what Microsoft 365 can do for your business/role. It's not for anyone who is looking to create complex connections and systems, or those who want to download a template that they can add their branding to and be ready to use in their business. That's not what this is.
When is it available?
The course is ready and waiting for you right now! As soon as your payment is processed, you will receive your login details to the online course portal, and you have full and unlimited access to ALL of the video lessons and resources.
Is this in the Microsoft Mastery Club?
No, this is a separate introductory self-paced course, and is not a part of Thrive's membership program.
$1,700 value for ONLY $497AUD
(Approx. $332 USD, 310€, £271, $455 CAD - exchange rates do fluctuate)
