Mindset

Managing Your Mindset Beyond Mid-life

By actively working your way through this thought-provoking short course, you will have the opportunity to challenge commonly held concepts and beliefs about ageing and take a fresh look at the possibilities for the future.

30-Day Restore Yoga

Welcome to your 30 day Yin Yoga Series. Yin Yoga is a very restorative style that delivers many health benefits. The focus on slowing and lengthening your breath tones and balances your nervous system which will reduce anxiety, help with depression, aid a better sleep and help with feelings of positivity and contentedness.

Finance

The Easiest System Ever for Managing Your Money

One of the most important skills to have in life is the ability to spend less than you earn during your
working life, and to live within a sustainable income when you are retired. This skill is what enables
you to stay out of debt and, if you are still working, to increase your wealth. Yet while we all know it’s a good idea, it is
very hard to put into practice.
This course offers an extremely easy system – in fact, the easiest system ever – for managing your
money automatically and without having to keep track of every dollar you spend. It can be used at
every stage of life with great success.

Buckets of Money for Retirement

Standing at the gateway to retirement, a new world stretches out before you, full of
unknowns but potentially the most rewarding years of your life. These days, retirees can
expect to live up to thirty or so years in retirement. It’s up to you whether they are the
best or the worst years of your life.
The aim of this course is to equip you with knowledge and tools to deal with the uncertainties and live your retirement to the max!
