How to Build a Strong Community
Community is about bringing people together for a shared goal or purpose. Non-profit communities, or community-led organisations, can be powerful things.
Building a community is achieved through recruiting members, inspiring, involving and empowering those members, and working with them to take action.
There are some fundamental principles that permeate through different models of community organising such as defining a clear vision or cause, and the importance of relationships based on trust and mutual interest.
We'll cover those principles, as well as investigating what a community really means, looking at why and how you would actually build a community, explaining how to transfer what you've built online, and examining some existing and successful non-profit communities.

Embracing Change Successfully
Change is a natural part of life, especially in the manic, non-stop world that we inhabit today. Not only does everything around you change, but you tend to change as well. Problems arise because we, more often than not, resist and reject it.
And when you try to resist change, you rob yourself of the experiences that can transform your life on both a professional and personal level.
But it doesn't have to be this way at all.
Through this course, you'll learn that change is inescapable, but that opportunities inevitably emerge from the process. You'll learn why we're so afraid of change and how to get over those fears, and that accepting change requires a serious, long-term commitment.
Career Development
The sooner you can start embracing and seeking change, the sooner you can begin to enjoy the natural process of life.
There are a plethora of opportunities out there waiting for you to discover. You can't alter the fact that change exists, but you can adjust your view and approach to live a happier and more fulfilled life.
Stagnancy leads nowhere. Change is what keeps you alive. We're either moving up or moving down.
By embracing change, we make the conscious choice to keep moving forwards and continue growing and improving.
Course Review
If you follow and adhere to the key points of the first three modules such as accepting that change is inevitable, overcoming fear of failure, quashing restrictive beliefs and focusing on positive outcomes then success will be well within your grasp, and you'll be able to fully enjoy the benefits and opportunities.

Spending and Saving – Making Positive Trade-Offs
It's sometimes difficult to get the right balance between spending and saving. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we don't.
There are several factors involved in our financial dealings.
Often we need to make trade-offs.
What trade-offs are.
A trade-off is recognising what you are willing to give up in order to get something else. We make many trade-offs in our personal lives, both financial and non-financial trade-offs.

How to Make the Right Decisions
We make hundreds of decisions every day, sometimes without even realising that we are deciding. For example, one or two lumps of sugar, or none at all, in our tea or coffee.
But there are other important decisions we have to make and these may have a great effect on what happens in the future to ourselves and perhaps to our families. These decisions may affect major parts of our life or lives considerably.
