Simply Master
Have you ever wondered how some people can perform their work faster, smarter and easier no matter on their professional level? Well the answer is simple: these people upgrade their computer skills!
With the design of a professional brochure, this book is about becoming better while enjoying learning. Beside this, to let you see why this is so awesome, we will send you, based on your choice, an Excel template made especially for you 😉
Why you must have this book!
Nowadays we live in a world that’s oversaturated with tools, websites and softwares created to ease our personal or professional life. Unfortunately, all of these, no matter what you use or on which side of the table you sit, function based on Microsoft® Excel.
And guess what, this is not all!
- Do you want to keep track of your expenses or make a planning? You open Excel!
- Do you want to do a chart or data visualisation? You open excel!
- Do you want to build a list, dashboard or report? You open Excel!
…and the list goes on and on and on.
No matter what you do in your life, at one point you will need it, you cannot escape it, and you’d better be prepared when that moment will come.
Of course now you can choose the hard way: Try to figure it yourself by going to search what you need through thousands of internet pages, Youtube videos or hundreds of old fashioned books, but REMEMBER: neither is all in one, and both contain long hours of search and long tutorials or pages to read or view.
OR, You can choose the easy way: This book is giving you the structured and accurate information that you need, including where to find it, how to use it and how long you need to learn it. This will be the game-changer for your life.

ABOUT the REWARD TOOLS
When I started this KICKSTARTER, and while writing these lines I figured out I want to give even more so I will share with you some Excel tools that will not only help you practice what you learned but also help you in your personal/hobby life.
These tools are Excel sheets that are fully automated. You only need to feed your information in, and all the rest will be done by the buttons inside the tools. Some of the tools will require you to fill your own API in (for example the one for the Crypto Portfolio) or to do some small changes.
These tools are definitely made for someone who already read the book and learned its content. Any additional steps that might not be covered in the book will be definitely included in each Tool Instruction.
This is the selection of the tools I’ve included:
- EXPENSES Tool (also known as Cash Flow tool)
This tool is created to help you monitor your Monthly and Yearly expenses. With a clear overview of your income and expenses you can become financially responsible and manage your money better so that you can enjoy life better and reach your financial goals. (Works also on Google sheets)
- Cryptocurrency tracker (with API included)
With this tool you can track your crypto currencies and most importantly your profits and return on investment based on actual daily price. Additionally you can monitor how your portfolio changes from day to day, compared with the past 24 hours and all time investment. This will help you make better decisions when it comes up to buying and selling your crypto. REMEMBER it is very important to know your numbers! (Works only on EXCEL)
- Basic Management templates
With these templates, you have all you need to manage and become business oriented. Why are these templates so important? Because once you start using them, they will provide you a clear overview on what you do and what you should do to become time effective when it comes to your business activities, input and output information and processes. Also they will help you understand what the root cause of your issues is and to correct them. Time is money! A structured way of work will reduce your time of process and will increase your profit. (Works also on Google sheets)
- Business Plan Template
Congrats on starting your own business or for having your own business already. But, do you know exactly where you are heading this year, or in 5 years? Unfortunately, the statistics show that 20% of businesses fail in the first year and 45% in the first 5 years! The top reason for this is NOT HAVING a GOOD Business Plan. We have created a template that will help you make your Business plan and this will considerably increase your chance of success. (Works also on Google sheets)
- Long & Short time Goals Planner
We all have dreams and goals! Have you ever wondered why only 2% of the world wide population achieve its goals? This is because the first step is the most difficult, and the first step is to TAKE ACTION. With this Goal planner you take action, you set your long term goals on paper and you make a plan to achieve them. This is a MUST HAVE because this will transform your unpolished ideas into clear goals, and once put in writing they become physical therefore they exist and start manifesting.

- Accountability Diary
So we have dreams and goals and we set our mind to take action…then we start and in the beginning we are so focused and full of determination. GREAT! But then something happens and in no time we see ourselves one month later and we realise that we didn’t do anything for one month…this is because we are not keeping ourselves accountable for what we must do to get to the result we want. This tool will help you understand the Victim behaviour and will guide you to become accountable for your actions. Once you become accountable your road towards your goals is only forward.

About the Author
Hi there! Thank you for making it so far. My name is Andreea and I am the founder of ConfExcel and the author of Simply Master Excel series.
My dream…to change the way learning books for adults are made. We live in a new era but we learn as our ancestors did. Albert Einstein said: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results”, this motivated me to try something new, something that can change someone else’s life.
As you, when I first started in life, at school, at work and in business, I struggled with learning from all the boring books or from digging in the internet blogs to find one line of good information.
Now, after more than 15 years of experience, I got to a place when I’m eager to help others. This book started as a simple project but then I said to myself that this must be something new, this must be something innovative that others will enjoy holding in their hands or reading it. This must be something that does not look like a software learning book but more like a nice brochure that you read in your free time when you want to learn new things about your passion.
