Description
MASTERING YOU MAC HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER MAC CLARITY - KNOW YOUR MAC Learn how to play your Mac like the beautiful instrument that it is. Stop wasting time, feeling stressed and bugging your children or partner to help you when you get stuck. Know what you are doing every time you sit at your computer.

This is a way to reach your dreams. This is an exploration into your limitless potential. This course makes learning how to use your Mac easy and fun.

The 110+ micro video lessons are 2-8 minutes long and in easily digestible and practical chunks. You slowly build on your knowledge and will be amazed how quickly you achieve real progress. This course is also suitable for more confident users as so many of us really only use a small percentage of what is possible on our computers.

There is currently no other course on the market that is this comprehensive that will hold your hand as you start and really support you as you grow in competence.

We don't want to offer you just the ability to use your Mac like a Pro. We also want you to feel good while doing it. To be passionately productive, to sit down at your computer and have confidence you won't get distracted by Facebook because you choose it, to feel powerful and capable every time you are using your Mac so you always reach your highest potential. 2nd Bonus Seven video tutorials exploring these more holistic aspects of your relationship and use of your computer.

As a pianist, Arron understands the possibilities of muscle memory using shortcuts and practice to encourage flow and creativity. Dissolve the stumbling, clunky barrier of uncertainty and instead gracefully and easily achieve your intentions. Explore and move toward conscious use of your technology. Don’t fall down the Google Hole and get distracted and frustrated with yourself. Knowing your technology will help you stay on task. Imagine sitting down to your computer with peace and clarity, and still feeling this as you finish your task. Aah, this is what we want for you and your life. AN AFFORDABLE PRICE WITH VALUE FOR MONEY This course would usually cost you a lot more than our full price. We want this course to be affordable because our vision is bigger than just teaching people how to use their computer. We want to empower people to build a healthy and productive relationship with their technology. We see this as a crucial skill in this new age where we are often forced to use technology just to function. Imagine how much time and energy knowing how to really use your Computer will save you over your lifetime, most likely hundreds or thousands of hours. Not to mention the blood sweat and tears. What a powerful investment with a massive return potential!
