Discover The Key to Success with Microsoft Access
After retiring from Access consulting, I created several popular courses on the Udemy platform.
Thousands of people enrolled, and many had great success — especially those who appreciated the step-by-step structure and real-world examples.
But something didn’t sit right with me.
For every success story, there were even more people who didn’t succeed.
Some never got started. Others followed along for a while, but when they tried applying the lessons to their own database… they got stuck. Frustrated, confused, and discouraged — they eventually gave up.
The Missing Piece
I realized I hadn’t truly solved this “stuck” problem in my courses.
So I began researching other Access training. What I found was the same pattern:
Lots of instruction on techniques… but no help for what to do when (not if) you get stuck.
I believe that this is the reason why so many people fail to master Access.
But here’s the thing: during my consulting career, I got stuck all the time!
Working with hundreds of clients and databases, I constantly faced problems I didn’t know how to solve yet.
And here’s the twist…
I Loved Getting Stuck!
Yes — really.
I remember one specific day when a client wanted an improvement to her database. We couldn’t figure it out in advance, but I scheduled the session anyway.
Driving to her office, I caught myself thinking:
“This is going to be a great day.”
Not because I had the answer — but because I didn’t!
Think about that! The same situation that causes so many people to quit… was my favorite part!
Why?
Because I had learned how to handle those moments.
Over time, I developed a mindset — and a method — that not only got me unstuck, but made the process enjoyable.
The Real Key to Access Success
Think about your own journey.
Have you ever taken a course, felt excited, and then hit a wall the first time something didn’t go as expected?
You’re not alone.
The ability to navigate those “stuck” moments is the real key to success with Access.
Because no matter how many tutorials you watch, there will always come a time when:
- The solution isn’t covered in a course
- You can’t find help on YouTube
- And you feel like you’ve hit a dead end
That’s when most people give up.
But not you — not anymore.
The A2P Solution
Inside the A2P Community, you’ll learn how to develop what I call the Success Attitude — a mindset that transforms roadblocks into breakthroughs.
You’ll also learn the Problem Solving Steps, a proven method that shows you exactly what to do when you get stuck.
Instead of frustration, you’ll feel:
- Energized by challenges
- Confident in your ability to work through problems
- Excited to discover new ways to use Access
In fact, that’s how I learned most of what I know — not from books or classes, but from figuring out how to get unstuck.
And if I can do it, anyone can — because I’ve helped many people just like you.
What Happens Next?
Right now, businesses are desperate to increase productivity.
If you develop the Success Attitude and learn the Problem Solving Steps, the payoff could be huge:
You become the go-to Access expert at work You build your confidence, creativity, and technical skill You gain the support of a like-minded community that thrives on solving problems
Imagine this: You’re new to the A2P Community. You hit a wall.
So you post in the “I’m Stuck” space.
It won’t take long for other members (and me and Jon) to jump in like a pack of piranhas:
“Oh look — a challenge! Let’s have some fun figuring it out!”
No endless YouTube searching. No frustration. Just real help — from people who actually enjoy getting stuck.

I truly hope to see you inside the A2P Community — where we turn stuck moments into stepping stones.
