From listening to your podcast, I knew that Dubsado could do so much more, but my brain just couldn't see how it could be built and connect all the workflows together. What order should it all be created in? Where do you connect what?

I've had Dubsado for 3 years already and have probably (knowingly) used about 10% of its capacity. It was sooo confusing and a beast of software (amazing, but just a massive learning curve). The course was really detailed and specific, but also sequenced so logically and clearly. I liked the short videos and then I could take action right away (I learn well like that). If you sense that you're only just scratching the surface of what Dubsado can do for your business, and are sick of Googling every little step individually, just buy Colie's course.
