Ever wondered how someone achieves success in the stock market? Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Heloise Greeff, the first Female Elite Pro and one of the most popular copied investors on eToro, the world’s leading social trading platform. In this episode, she shares with us her approach to investing and the winning strategies that have made her the powerhouse investor she is today. Heloise’s journey to becoming an investment superstar begins with the pocket money budgeting her mother taught her at a young age, as well as some playful exercises in investing. Growing up playing with cars with her older brother, she found herself drawn to study engineering after school and became trained as a mechatronics engineer. This led to her obtaining both an MBA and PHD in machine learning, and has made her the data-obsessed engineer she is today! With this impressive background, Heloise spends time not only researching and publishing novel machine learning algorithms, but consulting some of the world’s largest tech companies and exciting startups. So, how does all of this tie in with investing? Heloise applies her skills in data analysis to navigate the stock market and lead her in her decision-making. The results speak for themselves, with her average return being almost 30%. For context, the S&P 500 clocks in at around 10% on average, making Heloise’s success more than a little impressive! Heloise talks about the concerns she faced around her future pension, which led her to take her first steps into the world of investing. While she’s now at the top of her game, it wasn’t immediately smooth sailing, and she talks about the regrets she has on certain decisions she made in the early days. This serves as a reminder to those of us starting out that it's a learning curve for everyone, and mistakes are bound to happen. We discuss the six pillar strategy Heloise has adopted, with an emphasis on the three main ones she calls ‘the basics’. While she focuses strongly on risk management, Heloise also believes in making investment choices based on what makes you ‘uniquely you’. In what areas are your strengths? What gets you excited? Finding out where your passions lie is one secret to developing a strong portfolio. When it comes to successful investing, there’s no magic wand. Heloise emphasises the value of patience and discipline, and shares her tips on how to get started on what can be an exciting, long term journey in the stock market. So, grab your notepad and pen and get ready to take your investment game up a notch with Heloise's incredible words of wisdom!

Today we have the pleasure of chatting with Marina, a pioneering feminist who challenged societal norms by investing whilst running a business. She embarked on this journey at a time when it was uncommon for women to do so and in this episode, we hear all about Marina's investing history, tips and experiences that have shaped her journey towards financial freedom. Marina's financial story begins with her decision to study dentistry after school, a field that appealed to her as a challenge given it was largely male-dominated at the time. At a time when many women were encouraged to stay home and have babies, she had rather different goals for her life. Marina talks about her longtime desire to become self-employed and the master of her own destiny, leading her to eventually start her own business and take the leap into investing. Though she admits she didn’t know a lot about making investments at the time, Marina talks about the inherent self-confidence and determination she possessed from an early age. We hear about how this drove her to make her first property purchase in her twenties, and the challenges she faced entering the share market in a time before the internet or online brokers. Calling herself a conservative investor, Marina warns us not to become tied up in fear and greed, two things that we know drive the markets. Instead, she encourages us to start simple, build slowly and be in it for the long game. While investing in the share market can feel daunting for those starting out, Marina reminds us that with today’s platforms, it’s possible to start out with small amounts and is certainly never too late to begin. Marina's journey is a great reminder that investing isn't merely about accumulating wealth; it's about taking control of your life and future. She talks about the comfort and financial freedom she’s gained, and how her financial independence has afforded her the life she truly desires. So tune in for some amazing insights on how to level up your knowledge on investing, take charge of your finances and begin to create the life of your dreams!

On today’s episode, I am joined by Dr. Grace Sha, a compelling speaker, author, and the innovative founder of the Mental Wealth Institute. Grace is a high achiever and successful dentist but years ago found herself burning out. Questions of what she was doing and where she was going overwhelmed her and a rocky relationship added to the struggle. She refused to let these challenges define her and began a journey of self-discovery. When Grace reached the other side of burnout, she decided to use her experience to help others suffering like she had and wrote the book "Mental Wealth, How to Journey From Burnout to Abundance." In this book, she details her experiences and offers practical advice on identifying burnout and achieving work-life balance. In this conversation, we discuss some of Grace's experiences working with patients with mental health challenges, volunteering in mental institutes, and being in a psych ward. She notes the value of conversations with psychologists and psychiatrists in understanding the reasons behind her actions and the impact they have on her life. We also talk about Grace’s journey investing in property. The value of investing this way was instilled in her as a child and she started as soon as she could. Now she’s not only a property investor but a property developer. Not wanting other women to be scared of entering the property market, she shares the top lessons she has learned to help you stay confident and informed. Grace also shares how her perspective on wealth has changed over the years. While many people associate wealth solely with money, Grace highlights that true abundance involves being free to choose the life you live. She stresses that financial freedom is a good first step to living comfortably and fulfilling one's basic needs.

She’s won awards like Telstra National Young Business Woman of the Year Award and Australian Business Champion for her work. We start off by talking about her first business, which she started at only 20 years old, a tutoring centre and educational toy store. Her drive and business savvy allowed her to expand the business to 35 centres with 120 staff! Eventually, she sold the company to focus on her newly discovered passion - helping other women build and scale their businesses. Tina talks about her experience visiting a financial planner for the first time last year. Something she had believed was only for the super-rich but now regrets not doing much sooner. Her financial planner taught Tina about financial products and avenues for investment that she had no idea existed! Tina also shares how she came to understand the value of investing, especially for women. Investing is an avenue to build your financial stability - something critical to feeling free and empowered in uncertain times. I know you’ll absolutely love this episode, so sit back and enjoy!

Welcome to today’s snackable finance episode! One of the most common questions we get from women learning about ETFs is: How do we choose the right ones? Josh from eToro joins us to give a quick rundown on the best way to decide which exchange traded funds are right for you. Josh explains that not all ETFs are the same, and in terms of buying in Australia, international companies may be included in the options. He also explains how understanding what sectors, countries or themes you want to invest in is the best place to start. There are thousands of ETFs out there, so how do we narrow down our choices? Josh advises us to pay attention to the size of the fund, who is running it and what stocks it owns. This will give you an understanding of their performance, as well as the fees involved. In order to avoid over-exposure to certain stocks, Josh talks about looking at the specific weighting within each ETF and how this will help ensure your portfolio is diversified. He gives us tips on using tools such as an ETF screener, which will help you search for specific criteria such as type of industry, company and fees. So, tune in to this bite-sized conversation for some amazing tips on getting started on your ETF journey!

Today I’m joined by powerhouse entrepreneur Ruby Lee, who transitioned from working as a corporate accountant to building a successful multi-seven figure coaching business. With a background in finance and a passion for helping others, Ruby has built a global community of coaches and entrepreneurs, teaching them how to build and scale successful businesses with ease and flow. Ruby’s journey from leaving the corporate world to turn her side-hustle into a million dollar business all started with a creative itch. We hear about her desire to feel more fulfilled in her work, and how she overcame her initial self-doubt to pursue her entrepreneurial dreams. She speaks about navigating motherhood while in the midst of growing her business, and the unconventional route she and her husband took to ensure she had every chance of reaching success. While she was trained as an accountant, Ruby admits that her relationship with money had not always been healthy. She speaks about the internal trauma around money in her family and how this affected her ability to control her own finances. It was only once she began her spiritual quest to seek growth and healing did she unlock the mindset that transformed her completely. We hear about Ruby’s coaching philosophy, being the concept of operating in flow state. She describes it as energetics mastery and understanding how your body wants to work in order to be in flow. Ruby believes that once you become unapologetic about the energetics of your own body, the ability to create boundaries and know when to say yes or no will come naturally. Ruby takes us through the issue of money blocks, an obstacle she sees her clients often struggle with. She talks about her own history with avoiding her own numbers in the past, and how crucial it is that entrepreneurs develop a deep understanding of their finances. Not only does it provide the clarity needed to grow, but empowers us to take control and know our own worth. Looking ahead, Ruby sees a future where more business owners embrace the power of flow state and prioritise their well-being. She believes that by aligning their work with their natural rhythms and focusing on self-care, entrepreneurs can build sustainable and fulfilling businesses. Ruby’s story is an incredible example of how embracing mindset shifts and developing a healthy relationship with money can unlock entrepreneurs’ full potential and create the business and life of their dreams. I know this conversation will encourage you to find freedom from your own limiting beliefs around money, and I encourage you to tune in and get inspired by Ruby’s wisdom on and passion for financial health and expansion.

Welcome to another bite-sized finance episode! Today, Josh Gilbert from eToro gives us the rundown on what the S&P is - and no, it doesn’t have anything to do with condiments!

We learn about what it takes for a company to make it onto the S&P index, and Josh gives us an example of a prominent company that was only included in recent years. You’ll be surprised!

I have the pleasure of speaking with Amanda McEwen today, who, out of a desire to spend more time with her three children, transitioned out of her corporate job to become a small scale property developer. In less than 8 years, she has created over $33 million dollars worth of property, built over 66 homes and generated a six figure profit each year. Now she teaches other Aussies the art of small scale property development. Amanda’s story serves as an incredible inspiration for anyone seeking to take control of their financial future and create a life of freedom and abundance through property development. In this episode, Amanda shares her journey into property development, realising that the traditional property investment strategy wasn’t actually enabling more freedom, but rather creating more debt and tying her to her job. This realisation is what prompted her to seek alternative solutions and explore the world of property development. We talk about Amanda's first small scale development project and how this experience taught her the importance of keeping an open mind and having multiple exit strategies for each project. As a female property developer, Amanda acknowledges that the industry can sometimes be perceived as a boys' club. But, she doesn’t let that slow her down. We talk about the importance of building a strong network and how she has surrounded herself with a team of knowledgeable professionals, including a finance broker to secure funding and real estate agent to understand market demands and facilitate sales. With property development having such a profound impact on her life, Amanda also mentors others to help them achieve financial freedom through property development. She shares an inspiring story of one of her students who had no prior experience in the industry and paid off her mortgage with Amanda’s guidance. This is just one of many examples of people paving their own way into financial freedom. I love Amanda’s passion for empowering other women and men to pursue their dreams of property development.

My guest today is Julie Crocket, CEO of Australian Property Investment Solutions. But she didn’t start out there and I know her story is going to be such an inspiration. In this episode, Julie shares her journey from raising two kids on her own on a teaching wage to becoming a thriving property investor. Julie's journey into property investment began when she received a superannuation statement that revealed she had less than $30,000 in her account. As a single mum, she knew she needed to take action to secure her financial future and provide for her two daughters. Driven by her determination not to end up in poverty, Julie sought the help of an accountant and her gal pal to explore property investment as a way to build wealth. Since then, Julie has built an impressive investment portfolio and, inspired by her passion for empowering others, launched Australian Property Investment Solutions. Through her business, she helps even more people secure financial strength and independence through property investment. In this episode, Julie shares her story and offers valuable insights for anyone looking to build wealth through property. One common mistake Julie sees among investors is stopping at one property. She emphasises the importance of having a strategy and a long-term plan, sharing her own experience of buying multiple properties over the years and how each acquisition contributed to her overall wealth. Affordability challenges are real, especially in desirable locations like Bondi. Julie introduces the concept of ‘rent vesting’, which involves buying an investment property in a more affordable area while renting in the desired location. We also talk about the importance of challenging our limiting beliefs when it comes to money and taking control of our financial future, not just for ourselves but for generations to come. Julie's story is such an inspiration and if you’re thinking about property investment as a way to build wealth, you don’t want to miss this episode. As more women embrace property investment, the future holds the promise of greater financial security and prosperity for all.

We’re back for another snack size episode with Josh Gilbert from eToro. Today we’re diving into questions surrounding the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) which is the main stock exchange in Australia. Josh explains what the ASX is, and the different names for it that you might have heard get thrown around. In simple terms, the ASX is like a marketplace where you can buy and sell shares of publicly traded companies. It’s important to note that while the ASX lists some of the biggest and most successful companies we know in Australia, not all are Australian. We talk about the different ways we can invest in the ASX and why we need to go through a broker to facilitate buying and selling shares. Enjoy!

Fiona Morris is my inspirational guest today and we’re talking about how she turned her life around, going from bankrupt at 40 to running a 7-Figure business at 41. Fiona is the founder of Start My Cleaning Biz, Australia’s leading online learning platform for cleaning businesses, teaching aspiring business owners to start and build their own successful cleaning businesses.
