Hey — quick story from teaching CAD.

I’ve taught hundreds of courses over the years, and there’s a pattern I see every single time.

About day two.
Roughly 8–10 hours in.

You’re past the fun intro stuff.
You know where the tools live.
You’ve sketched, extruded, and played with a few things.

And then it hits.

“I don’t think I’m good at this.”
“Everyone else probably gets it faster.”
“Maybe CAD just isn’t for me.”

People start missing sessions.
They stop opening the software.
They almost don’t come back.

Here’s the wild part…

This moment doesn’t happen because they’re bad at CAD.
It happens because they’re right on the edge of real progress.

So I always do the same thing next.

I pause.
We do a full review.
We rebuild parts from scratch.

And suddenly they realize:

• “Wait… I can sketch this.”
• “Oh — shelling actually makes sense now.”
• “I know how patterns work.”
• “I can revolve this without guessing.”

They’re faster.
They’re more confident.
They’re not copying — they’re building.

That exact arc is why I built Fusion Jumpstart.

Not just to show tools…
…but to walk you from zero → foundations → real parts → confidence — without getting stuck in that doubt spiral.

If you’re in that uncomfortable middle right now, you’re not failing.

You’re learning.

And Jumpstart is designed to get you through that phase — step by step, with exercises and projects that prove to you (over and over) that you can do this.

One important note:
