About this course
If you're in the fourth Transforming stage of our 5 Steps To A Magnificent Midlife Roadmap hopefully you're really beginning to see a shift in your life path. You're building a solid platform for the life you want and seeing really change in all aspects of your life. You'll be diving into how to make big shifts in areas you may still not have completely as you want them, like financial freedom, developing your creativity and optimizing your relationships. But it's also time to look back on everything you've achieved to get you to here.
Action Step: Review progress so far and decide what still needs to change for maximum impact.
Think you’re not creative? Creativity’s just for artists or writers or musicians? Think again!
We’re all creative, we just sometimes forget how to tap into our innate creativity. You didn’t have a problem with that as a child right?!
And creativity can show up anywhere; in the way you plan your home, the clothes you wear, the food you prepare.
We’ve worked with coach, entrepreneur and general big ideas woman Cindy Ball on this super relevant and easy to implement workshop to help you tap into your own creativity. So you can exploit it to help you build upon or even discover your passion.

Whenever we do a survey about the top issues members struggle with, financial security is always first or second on the list. When we reach midlife, many of us become aware we don’t have sufficient provision for a comfortable later life. And an element of panic, often mixed in with a good dose of inertia, can lead to us not taking control and action. We’ve worked with Catherine Morgan, a Chartered Accountant turned investment broker, to produce this jargon-free, no-nonsense workshop on how we can all achieve a greater degree of financial freedom, both now and into retirement.
In this workshop we cover the following:
Each individual section is longer than usual and almost a full workshop in itself. This is because there is a lot to cover and also because Catherine gives us so much wonderful detail on each area. So please don’t try and do all of this in one go! Take it slowly and approach each section as a workshop in its own right!
Please note! Lessons one and two of this workshop, while including specifics on the UK situation, will still be relevant to members outside the UK. There is lots of general advice and some great tips to follow. Lesson 3 of the workshop, because it focuses on tax, which is different in every country, will necessarily be of more relevance to our UK members. We are working on creating similar content for our non-UK members.
