Read the Story of This Student Who is Becoming more Confident With His Computer

I wanted to share with you the story of one of my Gold Club members named Ian, who lives in the UK and discovered my site some time ago and who was kind enough to write me and let me know how things had been going for him with my lessons.

I have to admit I absolutely love hearing back from my students since I have put so much time, effort, and care into my lessons so they really could make a difference for people, it makes my day when I hear from a student who has been getting results, especially when they started out feeling pretty bad about their chances of learning the computer before they found my site.

Now in Ian's case, and I'm sure he's not alone in this, he understandably had some doubts beforehand as to how legitimate my website was, but as he put it, he "took the plunge" and ordered my lessons and has been growing more confident and less frustrated, and in fact has gone from wanting to avoid the computer to the point where he's enjoying it so much more that he has to make point not to spend too much time on it!

It really does made my day when I get emails like this, so if you have a success story of your own, please share it with me and with your permission I'll share it with everyone.

Here's what Ian said:

> Hi Worth;
>
> Many thanks for all your emails which do contain for me a host of helpful information;
> and the Gold Club which is again most useful.
>
> I certainly do bless the day, after being persuaded to buy the computer by my wife, when
> I trawled through the web in desperation to find some form of assistance and I dropped
> across your advert.
>
> I didn't fully believe all that was contained therein at the time - I am well aware, through
> 35 years in Consumer Protection within this country, - that it is on lots of occasions
> appropriate to treat the content of advertisements with the proverbial 'pinch of salt'.
> It was not without much heartsearching and reading and rereading the content of what
> - on the face of it seemed 'just too good to be true'.
>
> I finally took the plunge for two reasons:
>
> (a) I attended a one day course and came away very dejected - I seemed to be not on
> the same wavelength as others who were obviously far more au fait with the
> computer than I was - and I wasted my money due simply to the fact that I was
> getting more and more wound up and learned precisely nothing.
>
> the (b) reason - here I felt maybe more humiliated. My 11 year old grandson came
> over to see 'the computer' and being, as kids are now, computer literate, was highly
> impressed with it, but seeing how I was floundering about; went downstairs and
> pronounced to those present (he didn't realise I could hear) that it was a brilliant
> computer BUT 'far too technical for Grandy to come to use - he'll never
> understand that'.
>
> Well I was shattered and low as I had ever been, but I vowed that I would prove him
> wrong. Well I havn't yet, but I am on the way, due only to your lessons (which are excellent)
> and to the way you run the system which gives me almost free access to you and your
> knowledge.
>
> I will succeed, but not with courses where, as you say, you are submerged with
> information and if you don't pick it up and I didn't, well too bad -- unlike your CDs
> where I have the advantage that I can go over and over again until I get it..
>
> So now as you see I have jumped on the bandwagon and I do feel, on occasions that
> I am making progress, and talking with others about their problems, I feel on occasions
> that I know a bit more than them.
>
> That's what I wanted to say to you Worth; to heap some praise on you for the material
> you have placed within the range of those who care to join your club. I do feel that I
> could spent a lot more time up here in my den than I do - but one has to be fair on the
> 'missus' (wife). Do keep up the good - nay - excellent work.
>
> Best wishes Ian Forsyth, Braintree, Essex

How to Learn Basic Computer Skills: Training Lesson #3

In this basic computer training video I continue my ongoing series of lessons where I share my insights into how to to make it easy to learn basic computer skills. In part three, I pick up from where I left off in the previous lesson with the pros and cons of the different typical options people use to learn the computer.

How to Learn Basic Computer Skills: Training Lesson #2

In this video computer lesson I continue my series of tips to make learning the computer easier. In this segment, I talk about some of the traditional ways to learn the computer, and why those traditional methods really don't work well.

How to Learn Basic Computer Skills: Training Lesson #1

In this video computer lesson I give the first of a series of tips on how to make it much easier to learn basic computer skills and more. These tips are based on one of my biggest non-computer-related interests: how the human mind works.
Because I'm basing this series of lessons on fundamental principles of how the human mind works, the information I cover in this video lesson actually can help you learn any skill, not just how to master basic computer skills.
