    In 2008, my wife Kelly and I co-founded Freelance University with the purpose of becoming the #1 go-to training center for Freelancers and VAs from around the globe! As of this year, we have successfully trained over 25,000 Virtual Assistants and Freelancers in more than 75 countries. Kelly and I have had the great privilege of building our Online University while raising our 5 daughters who are the greatest blessings of our lives. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you either in this program or at our University very soon. I leave you with my favorite quote from marketing guru, Seth Godin: "The only worse thing than starting something and failing... is not starting something."

    There was a "bare-bones" feel to it. I felt rushed and that there was not enough time in the video to really get a good handle on what was being taught. The instructor jumped through the locations fast, I had to keep stopping the video to back up and see where he had jumped to last. Confusing.

    This is the first course I have completed. Initially I found it a bit confusing as I've had no significant exposure to WordPress. Taking WordPress Fundamentals concurrently made it much more informative.
