How to build an empire: Tina Tower

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the powerhouse that is Tina Tower. She’s a business coach & strategist with a whole heap of experience building her empire and inspiring others to do the same. 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!    This episode is brought to you by eToro, Australia's leading social investing platform with over 30M users worldwide allowing you to explore local & global markets, diversify your investments and copy popular investors strategies!

Financial Snacks: How do we choose ETFs?

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!   CONNECT WITH JOSH GILBERT LinkedIn: Josh Gilbert | LinkedIn   CONNECT WITH LADIES FINANCE CLUB Join our free Facebook group - Ladies Finance Club Money Chat Website: https://www.ladiesfinanceclub.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ladiesfinanceclub/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ladies-finance-club/  Throw some coins in our tip jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/ladiesfcSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From corporate to million dollar business - how to bring flow to your life with Ruby Lee

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.   This episode is brought to you by eToro, Australia's leading social investing platform with over 30M users worldwide allowing you to explore local & global markets, diversify your investments and copy popular investors strategies!

Financial Snacks: What is the S&P?

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 look at exactly what the S&P, or Standard & Poor’s, is and how it offers a snapshot of the US equity market. 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!   We then talk about whether companies can list their shares on more than one exchange, and what that means for people wanting to buy stocks in Australia and in the US as well.    So, tune in for a short and sweet explanation of the S&P, how it gauges large-cap US stocks and its ability to provide a clearer picture of the marketplace.    Enjoy!   CONNECT WITH JOSH GILBERT LinkedIn: Josh Gilbert | LinkedIn   CONNECT WITH LADIES FINANCE CLUB Join our free facebook group - Ladies Finance Club Money Chat   Website: https://www.ladiesfinanceclub.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ladiesfinanceclub/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ladies-finance-club/Throw some coins in our tip jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/ladiesfcSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Corporate life to property developer

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.
