Do you feel really fulfilled by your career? Very few people can answer yes to both questions. Some of us can say yes to one or the other. But the majority of people would actually say no to both.     So what is it that is stopping you achieving your full financial \u0026amp; career potential?    Is it possible that taking steps to be fulfilled can actually be the same steps you need to take to get control of your financial situation (and vice versa). It runs completely contrary to what we've been led to believe -  you can have lots of cash or a fulfilling job, but you can't have both. Unless you are one of those annoyingly rare people who turn their hobby into their job (and we've all read enough about those).    Make Money, Be Happy shows that a career is just one income stream, and that many others exist. It offers the reader a different life perspective, one that integrates career ambition with greater personal financial control. It blasts financial fear and stupidity and attempts to replace it with knowledge and the desire for personal financial action (in order to do the things you love).    The book provides lots of examples and basic finance tools and techniques to help you, the reader figure out            Why you earn what you earn   What you might really want to do with your life   What your career choices will mean, financially   What is the business case for you, right now, where you are   The concept of day rate versus salary   What is good to understand about investments   Self destructive spending habits   Ways to make a low income work harder   Ways to make a high income feel like one        This book explains simple concepts buried underneath the jargon of financial management. The author digs so the reader doesn't have to.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49509574050065,"sku":"GOR001468933","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0273675605.jpg?v=1750812709"},{"product_id":"change-activist-make-big-things-happen-fast-book-carmel-mcconnell-9781292350868","title":"Change Activist: Make Big Things Happen Fast","description":"This book is for anyone wanting to make change happen in their life, in their workplace or community and possibly for a better world. It shows how social activists ask better questions, take baby steps to move to the next level. From green campaigns to building profitable, trusted teams, to Government policy, Carmel offers practical tools and strategies in your personal and professional life. Rather than tune out or hope someone else will create the best options, Change Activists use passion, purpose and a compelling plan to move forward. Change activists ask better questions - what am I passionate about, what change do I want to see in the world, how can I make big things happen fast in my life? If you are interested in values led change for yourself, and across any kind of organization this will help; there is power in being true to yourself, in doing the right thing. And it is your life, so don’t be plastic about it.    The book describes how to navigate the ups and downs of making change happen; from start up to scale up, to winning backers and allies. Through interviews with global change leaders including Big Issue co Founder Lord John Bird, Kenyan education leader Qabale Duba and Indian vaccination activist Varsha Vanugobal, Carmel unpacks the elements of successful change activists, suggests we are all capable of more, if we take action. This is a practical guide - Carmel wants everyone to find and play their part in a better future.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49527479370001,"sku":"GOR012951557","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49737780166929,"sku":"NGR9781292350868","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50378437689617,"sku":"CIN1292350865G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1292350865.jpg?v=1781865649"},{"product_id":"happiness-plan-book-carmel-mcconnell-9780273711780","title":"The Happiness Plan","description":"The pursuit of happiness is the biggest goal of all, but finding happiness isn't easy and life often gets in the way.
