Questions before you begin.

What is included?

Thirteen connected modules. Each one has a module explanation, a video lesson, a pre-assessment and knowledge check, and a working worksheet that saves to your account. You finish with a Personal Operating System you can keep using.

Is the Full Life Plan free?

Yes. Enrolling and completing every module is free. You can choose to support Be The Difference Foundation, but it is never required.

Why do I need an account?

Your account saves your progress, knowledge-check results and worksheet answers across all 13 modules, so you can stop and pick up again on any device.

Is the course self-paced?

Yes. There are no deadlines or live sessions. Work through the modules in order or return to any one when you need it.

Is it accredited?

No. The Full Life Plan is a practical personal-development programme, not an accredited qualification, and it isn't therapy. It gives you structured tools for clarity, decisions and execution.

How is it different from the free resource library?

The Full Life Plan is a guided programme that builds your plan step by step. The library is a set of free downloadable guides — leadership, finance, operations and more — for building the specific skills your plan reveals.

Are invitations and donations optional?

Completely. After enrolling you can invite up to three friends or make a donation, and you can skip both in one click. Neither affects your course access.
