You’re lazy and overconfident.
You’ve been reading this blog for a while, and you’ve been telling yourself, “Yeah, I’m pretty good at this database thing. I’ve got years of experience under my belt. I know the fundamentals.”
You’ve told yourself, “Yeah, someday I’ll get to Brent’s How to Think Like the Engine class,” but…you’ve never actually done it. You’ve never watched the whole video start to finish, nor read the 16-part blog series start to finish. And you sure haven’t made your way up to my Fundamentals of Index Tuning class.
I feel you. I procrastinate a lot too.
You know what helps? A time deadline. Sometimes, I just can’t get up off my lazy rear to finish something unless a clock is ticking loudly in my ear.
Need a deadline? One week. $1.
This week only, you can buy one week’s access to Fundamentals of Index Tuning for $1.
Normally, you’d have to pay $89 to access the course for a year. However, I know how it goes: you buy the course, it sits in your account, and you don’t actually finish it because you don’t have the time. Well, not today, bucko: you can buy the course for $1, but you only have access to it for 7 days, so you better move it or lose it.
To follow along with the demos, you’ll need a SQL Server 2017 or 2019 instance and the 50GB Stack Overflow 2013 database. Any hardware capacity is fine – we’re not going to be pushing the server too hard during these demos. (My Mastering classes are another story.)
Buy it now for just $1, and skip the Netflixing for a week. Let’s get ‘er done and raise your skills. At the end of a week, you’ll still be lazy – but at least you’ll be a little less overconfident.
Update: the sale is over, and 777 of y’all joined in. Let’s see how y’all do on completing the course!

That’s brilliant. In addition to being one of my Tech Heroes you are now a case study in marketing. 😉
Hahaha, thanks!
An excellent deal! I’ve followed that class already but I’ve shared it with my team and on my linkedIn
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Thank you so much. I will be looking forward for these kinds of deals in the near future too.
Thanks Brent! Another lap around a course is always good thing.
Interesting
This is awesome, thank you for this opportunity Brent. I’m a consultant with 20 years of experience and I’m always learning from you and also always send my clients your way sir so that they can learn from you as well.
Hi Brent,
Thanks for the sessions, Does Fundamentals of index tuning include column store indexes?
You’re welcome! No, I have a separate Fundamentals of Columnstore class: https://training.brentozar.com/p/fundamentals-of-columnstore-indexes
You hijacked my brain this time. Let’s see if I can finish the course.
Hello Brent,
Thanks for the course, my team is very interested.
Is it 1 week from from the purchase date or 1 week from when I start the course?
Given that this whole thing is about stopping you from procrastinating, what do you suppose the answer is?
Sweet! I’ve taken the course already, but that was a few years ago. So I think a refresher would be a good idea.
Careful kids, the first hit is always free.
Hi Brent , unable to buy this course for 1$ as payment option is greyer out, please advise
Hi Brent , unable to buy this course for 1$ as payment option is greyed out for both payment options. please advise
Sorry, I can’t troubleshoot your browser from here. Working okay for hundreds of other folks.
Iceland can teach you marketing and revenue modeling? Niche!
Btw, people, this isn’t a well that you’re falling into.. It’s a portal to the next level in your career. Good stuff, don’t miss. Thanks Brent!
How long is a piece of string question but.. how much time per day would it take to study the course in one week?
Approximately six tons, three degrees, or fourteen candela, depending on your time zone.
I just read the article now, after the sale is over 🙁
Well, that’s a lesson in procrastination itself, eh? 😉
Maybe. I actually wasn’t procrastinating this time.
But I’ll set at least a weekly study goal.
So, yes, it’s a lesson! ?
PS: pls let me know when you do some other huge discount!
Gerardo – see the blog post up above?
That’s me letting you know.
Cheers!
Great work Brent. Thanks for another deal a week later 🙂
