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.

From teacher to property investor

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.   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 ASX?

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.
