About The Class

You will have an online seat for a virtual workshop.  You will need a place to work that has tools and a torch/torches.  No need to get on an airplane, truck, bike or boat and no need to stay in some undesirable hotel with a hard bed.  Plus the best part is, if you decide you need a coffee, you can go get one!

Don’t worry.  You won’t miss a thing because it’s being recorded too!  So if the time just isn’t right for you, it’s okay!  You can watch it anytime that is convenient for you.

You might say “well I’ll miss out on getting my questions answered.”  Nope!  I have set up a Facebook Private/Closed group, the Ask & Answer Mentorship Facebook Group, just for this class.  You’ll have an invitation to ask as many questions pertaining to our class presented material as you’d like.  You can film videos or take pics of the issues you are having and I’ll whip into action and get you the best answer to solve your issue, that I can find or think of!  We can even do it over zoom if it needs to be further examined.

These videos are raw and unedited.  Just as if you were in class.  So if you need to, you can scrub forward or backwards.  You can pause and play at will!

You will have 62 days (til Dec 31st) to watch the videos and 6 months access to me on the FB group.  Watch the videos as many times as you’d like and ask as many questions as you’d like. If you sign up for the next class, that time period is extended until the end of the next class! So it’s a great way to get some extra time with those videos.
