Just sold everything. It took me about six years to
actually to sell it. I was too scared after
That I had to work hard and save it because I wasn't worthy of

vibrant ready to go the next day and you're also in the
studio together too so definitely thank you for making the time oh thanks for
having me and i'm glad you enjoyed last night and i'm glad we made it here yes
the studio so um right now the
topic of discussion is gonna be mostly about you, okay? Like
99% of it. And I'll interject when I need to, to ask you some more questions to find more about
you. Part of what we wanna do today is I want to learn about your story with money.
And we're gonna go back to the remembering room before
we started working together. And then we're gonna move through your story and impart some
cool lessons for the audience, okay? So
my first question is, If you can take us back
a couple of years ago even, where were you at with
finances and with money and what
Well, I've always been a bit of a saver and
so I would just squirrel money away all the
time and then I would only spend it on stuff that I really
wanted, which was, you know, few
and far between. But like you said before, so I'm a
chartered accountant, so I did my training and had
a few investment journeys along the way,
but I always like
wasn't in control so I had no idea what I was doing and so like
I bought a couple of investment properties with my husband and
it was like we got a cold call and we went we
got flown to Brisbane and we bought this house like there and then and
I'm like I know all about negative gearing and I thought I
can do this. What are they talking about this? And so
it all sounded really amazing. And so we
bought our first property. A year later, we bought another one. And
then it just never really made a
any money and so but I was determined to
hang on to them I was like this is a long-term investment
so I'm like it's it's gonna be fine it'll grow you know and
and then I also trusted the financial planners in
the office and I said right I want to invest my money I remember saying
to our financial planner in the boardroom one day I'm like I want to
retire when I'm 30 and And he's
like, and how are you going to do that? And I'm like, I don't know, that's what
you're here for, right? And he's like, right, we're going to have to borrow all this money.
And anyway, nothing ever happened with that. But he
then, I said, right, well, I want to invest in something. And I
did manage funds. But what I didn't realize was,
because he said, right, let's get a margin loan and
we'll capitalize the interest. And so I
thought, okay, well, this is capitalizing usually
to me meant it was an asset. So I'm like, this is growing. And
then what I realized later was
it was actually just borrowing the interest. And
so, cause I said, well, should I be paying interest on this
loan? Like, well, I'm not giving any money. And it turns out my
loan was just growing. And then the GFC happened.
So not only, you know, did that just go down the
toilet, but I also then had this loan. And so I
was like, one of my other, the partners
at the firm said, you need to get out. So I basically, I
just sold everything. It took me about six years to
actually get out of it, to sell it. And
so I was a bit disappointed because I was like, I'm
trusting these people. Like I thought I knew stuff, but
turns out like I know how to count money, but not make money. So,
yeah. So, you know, I put half into this margin loan investment and
I put the other half into buying my first house. And so, you
know, use it as a deposit. So, but yeah. And
then it was just like, I never really, I was too scared. after
that to invest. So I'm hanging on to these other houses, but
Yeah. Yeah. Well, it would have been a very tricky, like, how
did it feel when you were like in that cap? So for
the audience, when you capitalize interest, the interest that you
should be paying on the margin loan is added on top of each other, and they stack
it and compound it up. And you still have to pay it, but not until later. And
the idea of that would have been to see where the portfolio would have risen beyond
the interest payments. And unfortunately, if it doesn't, And
he goes the other way, very bad. Right. And that's what happened
Reverse compounding. How did it, how do you feel? You just felt, did you feel what?
When I had it. Yeah. When it happened, like when it, when you realized what it was.
Oh, it was gut wrenching. Cause I thought, why, how
could I be so stupid to think that this was
a good thing? Like, why didn't I do my due diligence? Like,
why didn't I look into this a bit more, you know, that
A hundred percent, yeah. And lost trust.
Okay. So you've had some, that gnarly experience, which
would have inflicted some wounds and, you know, made you
apprehensive. Yeah, definitely. So how, what happened after that?
So where did, how did we come into connection? Like what was the, how
did that happen and unfold? The book. Which
Arrived on my Facebook and I was like,
what is this? And it kept popping up and I thought, all right, I've
read lots of books, I've done courses and I thought, I'm at
a point in my life. So I just moved actually. So
I uprooted my family and we moved north. And
I came across your book, and I thought, oh, I'll read it. So
I thought, oh, I'll get it. Didn't read it. And
then I was sitting in the doctor's surgery one day, and I'm like,
oh, I'll just start reading it in the waiting room. And
I'm scrolling through, and I'm like, oh, this is actually pretty good. It
provides some really simple advice And
I'm like, oh, okay. So I went home and I actually printed it.
And so I think I read the whole thing that day. Wow.
So yeah, so I'd put it off and put it off. And then of course, um,
I get all the emails cause I'm like going, who is this joker? Like
he's. Why would I go? I'm like, it's
good advice, but yeah, you know, I'm probably not going to do anything else.
And, um, and then I get the email about the coaching session
and I thought, ah, nah, it's just a scam. Like, why,
why would I do that? And I'm like, uh, he's just trying to try and sell
me something. So I put it off and put it off. And then I was
like, oh, I just stuff it. I just need to
do it. Like it's a free coaching session. What, what's the worst that
Well, when I moved interstate,
I actually cut my income in half. And so we'd
bought a business and I wasn't making as
much money and we were actually going backwards. And so
on a month to month basis, I'm like going, right, we're living off
savings. And so I was like, we need to do something.
And so that's when I thought, look, maybe this coaching might be, just
give me something that I can move towards and be able to help
us move forward. And, you
know, give us some tips on how to get out of the hole that we dug for ourselves.
Good, well that makes sense. That's kind of what prompted you, like maybe this
is something a little bit different. So you obviously, well,
We booked the call and then Melissa got
me to do the audit. And I'd been tracking my
expenses for years. As an accountant, I'm like, oh,
I can do this, but I never looked at it. I just recorded
it. But then, yeah, got to do it and actually, blinding
lights with, you know, this negative at the bottom and I'm like, oh,
this is not good. So we went on to the next call and she
explained the course and I dragged
my husband along and I was like, do
you want to do this? Like, if we do this, we do this together. And
he's like, yep, look, we got to do something. And That's
Yeah, we jumped on a call Yes, we went through some stuff together as
you and Dan sitting there. I remember that cool. Yeah, I remember it I do Yeah, it
was uh It was a really it was nice It's always
nice to see couples like if you like what you said you if you're gonna do it together
you're doing it together Yeah, so when you see a couple and they're both invested together,
you know that everything's gonna be good because you're on joint mission
and And they're not hiding anything from each other. They're like, they're both in it together. And
that speaks volumes about your character too, that you, you know, you asked it
like, hey, you doing this with me? So we're doing it, we're doing it together. That
was a great start to everything, of course. So you now,
you read the book. You're like, I'm ready to implement stuff. I hope
this is going to be good. And then what transpired
over that time? Like what things started to happen for you? What did you implement and
do? Um, so we pretty much, well, let me
just say before you do that, when you sit on the, on the audit,
when you did the audit, you said a little negative, what was on
the audit that you talked to each other about? And then
It was costing us money every month. And
even after we did the tax adjustments, the
whole negative gearing thing, it's supposed to save you enough tax to then effectively
be cash positive. It was still negative and,
you know, my husband's not liked the idea of the properties for
a while. And when we moved I had
to sell one in order to buy a new house. But
when I was talking to the property manager, we couldn't actually sell the
second one. She was like, no one's buying. And so I
was a bit worried but We hung on to it. We managed
to, you know, buy a new house, move, but
it was still obviously negative geared. And so, I mean, we had a
tenant actually said to us, because
we wanted to increase it by $10 a week. And
he said, look, I've been such a good tenant. How about you reduce it by
Oh, me neither. Anyway, he said no. We kicked him out and increased it
by 50 for the next one. But yeah,
that was the glaringly obvious thing. And so the first thing we actually
did when we talked to you was to sell the
property. So the market had changed by
that stage. So in 12 months it had increased I think we increased
by about 100k on that house. And
so, yeah, we implemented all of your steps
Well, you didn't actually do, you didn't, that's not what happened. You
didn't implement my advice. You knew what you wanted to do already. I
I really am just coaching you and facilitating what you already
know. Because I remember when we spoke about it, you knew in your heart
What you wanted to do. You're a chartered accountant. I didn't need to talk to you
about two plus two is four. You knew. Because when
you do this exercise, this snapshot of
where things are at, and what you said is blindingly obvious on
the, I know where the gaps are here that we need to
fill, and I need to, or the holes Yes, we need to
plug these bucket holes, the bucket holes, right? And so
where's the hole in the ship, because a small hole can sink a big ship. And
your hole was this property that you guys had secured. And you know, and
property over time, particularly in Australia at this present time has grown, right?
So assets do grow, and they do produce income. But
what you were objectively
trying to achieve with it, was to have some level of cash
flow from it potentially. But as you found out, when
you borrow the money to buy it, and the interest rate is higher than the
Yes, and we were on an interest only loan, so... No principle. So,
Right. So, it was all banking on capital growth. Now,
this is a very common model in a growing real
estate market of any country, yes? We're banking on the capital growth. A
little bit like what happened to that margin line that you did many years ago. It's like, oh, capital,
similar thing. So, it's all banking on growth. What happens if growth doesn't come, right?
And so, you
understood what had to happen. Why
didn't you ever If you knew already, why
didn't you change it? What was going on in your head? You're like, what
Just the value of the house. We would not be able to pay off
the loan before that time. And
I was just going, right, we'll just wait it out until the
end of like until D-Day when the
interest only loan period was going to end.
Oh, we considered selling it probably a year before. But
yeah, like I said, we couldn't sell it. Like the property manager said,
they're just not selling. And we got an offer
that I wasn't happy with and she like lowballed me.
And so I was like, nah, I'm just going to hang on to it. So my
husband has been wanting to sell it forever, but I was reluctant because
I hadn't had that capital growth. Sure. So, yes, I knew I
had to sell it but then I was just too afraid of
not making it back and having a loan and so... Okay.
But at the time, you said you'd moved, your income had
fallen, you had a small business and
you were losing money on this property. What, even
though you had the assets, what was happening in
Right. And so you're living off some savings and
the money, the delta, like the money coming
in and the money going out was out of balance. Yes. Right.
So your objective was to get it into balance. We
start making more, like more money coming in than going out, which is like one
of the most foundational principles of money. I mean, it
is the most important. Right. And so you discovered that.
So from that discovery, what
We found a property manager, a real estate agent.
Right. And you needed some encouragement. Yes. And you did
the numbers. You knew what you knew. Yes. But you needed
A bit of like, it's going to be okay. Yeah. Like, what do you want?
Do you want financial peace or you want to keep flattering and having financial stress
for it? Like, what do you, which one? It's like on those, you know, the notebook, bro, what
do you want? And he closes the door. She can't answer the question. Like, what
I wanted financial freedom. I wanted relief, like
just to, Live
Got it. Yeah. Yes. You hadn't got that because you
Like I, I probably didn't
look at the numbers simply because I'm like, I knew if I
looked at it, it would be bad. So I didn't want to,
I didn't want to even. Yeah,
I just leave it alone and just we would, we'd be
fine. I kept saying myself, but deep down
Sure. Okay. Avoidance. It's a
personal development journey when you look at your bank statements. Yes. Okay. So
the actions you took, let's go to it. Got a real estate agent agency
And then we, so I actually went back to the original people
we bought the house from. And they
put me in touch with the real estate agent. I'd had people ringing
me all the time. Anyway, so I got
a few quotes going, right, how much is it gonna cost me? Went with
the cheapest marketing budget, essentially, because I'm
like, this is just a rental property, there's no sentimental value
in it. Like it's not a million dollar property, so I don't need a million dollar marketing
campaign. Um, yeah, put it on the
market. Didn't even go to open house. Like we
got an offer day one and they
didn't want to, they weren't available for the open house. And so
they put in an offer and we were like, okay, let's, let's do
this. And I'm like, Lloyd, is this, what do we do? Should
I take it or do I wait? And, um, Thankfully,
we just went, look, it's in the ballpark. And
a real estate agent then talked
him up, negotiated a bit more. So we were able to get
a little bit more for it. So that was really good. And yeah,
Sold. And it's been amazing, because now I've
got this settlement happened. And
the cash flows come in. And so now, because we also have a business loan, that's
now sitting in the offset account. And so we're saving so
You're offsetting your business line, right? Interest. Yes. So you moved
one allocation of some equity from an asset producing negative cash flow,
moved the capital over to an offset to create some positive cash flow from the interest savings.
Yes. So you allocated capital differently. Yes. And
as a result, what's it like day to day now with
Oh, it's karma. So
yes, so the money coming in, so
we still do our monthly audit and where
we go through our expenses and Like,
I was never one to buy subscriptions and stuff like that,
but they've crept in. But we've
cut down our going out for dinner, you
know, to once a month with the kids. And so that's, you
know, helped with cash flow as well. So now we've got the
offset and I also now have free cash flow to invest. Yes!
So that redistributing of the capital monies is not only
offsetting the business loan but I also now have monthly,
I now put it into my investment so that I
Wonderful. How good. And you've learnt about investing as well, you've improved
your education? Definitely. Just quickly, if you're ready to take control
of your finances, but feel stuck on where to start, I have a
solution. My book Money Bias Happiness simplifies investing
and wealth building with practical steps to help you achieve financial peace.
Get your copy via the link in the show notes and let's get your money working for
No, not at all. So after my little debacle with
the margin loan, I was so scared of
the stock market and I'd never, I never
really understood it. So like that was really my
Yeah. I understood like, The concept of
shares being your purchasing a part of a business and I understood dividends and
things like that. But, uh, yeah, never really knew what
to buy, how to buy it or like the actual mechanism
of doing it. I'm like, do I need to call a broker? I don't know any brokers. And
So misunderstanding of it and then subsequently education and
you educated yourself through it, right? So now you understand all those things and
you understand it implicitly to do it yourself. You don't rely on anyone else.
You understand exactly what you're doing and why, and you're controlling it all
yourself, which is wonderful. And
Oh, it's exciting. I didn't even realize I'd got paid a dividend and
then I checked my account and I was like, woohoo. It was probably
only a couple of bucks, but I was like, hey, look, this is where
Yes. Every journey starts with a single step and every big tree
Little seed on a little small tree. Yeah, it's wonderful. How
does it feel to be, when you said free cash flow, this
is a wonderful word that people don't understand a lot because they don't have any. There's
cash flow, that's the money come in, money go out, but
there's free cash flow. So you're using the
free cash flow to build assets. And what are
some of the other things that you've now been able to do together, like
Oh, well, we're doing a few things to the house, which
is exciting because, you know, for the business, we need
to make some improvements. You know, we're
planning on a holiday with the kids because, you know, we just haven't
been on holiday for so long. So
we've been able to, you know, duck away for a weekend and, you know, hopefully
we'll go on a big holiday at some point. Small business
But yeah, so it's just things
like that and just being able to give back
to the kids, you know, not have to worry about scrimping
for school stuff, like they can go on their
school camps and stuff like that. And we've always been
able to do that, but you know, since moving it, like,
really through us and so it's nice
to be able to get back to just that ability and
confidence to put the
Yes. It doesn't have legs and get up and walk away and go where it wants. You send
So you've calibrated where your capital is. Yep. You've
calibrated what your loans are. You've calibrated where
that free cash flow now goes and you send it there. So you're now
Yeah. And it's really exciting to have
that control back instead of it
just like you're closing your eyes and you're hoping that it
all just works out and that you've saved enough money to
Not really. It's a strategy, isn't it?
I didn't do anything. You didn't live your life because you're
so busy saving, hoping that, you know,
I'll just, I'll have enough money for this that you think I've just got to keep building
this asset or, you know, this bank balance. Um,
but it's not like for the future, but
then you don't live your life. So, you know, I spent all
And so I want to ask you this, when
I think it was September, maybe October last
So not even a year. No. What do you mean, seven months? Yeah. Look
at how far you've come in seven months. I always think it's longer. Seven
months, so you've recalibrated all your finances. Now, I want to ask you this because you
came through our core Five Steps Mentorship Program, which is our money
program. Then you've showcased, because you have
a business, you've showcased some elite qualities of showing
up and doing the work, which is what I love. just while you're in the studio,
but also you're now an elite student in our elite program, which is a 12-month program,
where we really cultivate some other things, which is some
areas of your behavior and leadership, self-confidence, communication,
and also business, cultivating business skills, and
making more money, and these cool things. So after
getting your finances under control, which you've done, and you're planting your money tree, you're
getting your finances under control, you're doing your audit, Yeah, you're good, right? Mindset
is good. Mindset is good. And now, you've gone to another level now because
I'm like, well, how do we get Aaron to the next? What's the next step, right?
And coming into the elite, you've done some work there. Now, I want to know from you, what
are some of the things that you've experienced or done that
you never anticipated that you would do or experience? What are
some of the benefits or wins you've achieved that you never
thought were even remotely associated with money?
Social media is a big one. I
never realised how important it is for
growing a business and being present. And
so showing up on lives and reels
and posts, I'm still getting used to that. But
yeah, that's been probably the biggest thing for me is
the importance of connecting with people and
utilizing social media as a way to actually
connect with other people. Like it's not
just, you know, friends showing off or, you know, showing
what they had for breakfast. It's a
way to communicate and really share and add
value and being able to get the message out
And what else? Because you've gone through our Mind and Money event as well, which
you recently just did. Yes. And so what are some of the personal breakthroughs
I think just the confidence to speak.
I recently did the speaker training and
I was like I don't have a message to share or
I didn't have the confidence like from
my story way back when I was a kid and on stage and
I couldn't scream when the big bad
wolf was chasing me as Little Red Riding Hood and it's
haunted me ever since. And so just that
confidence to be on stage and I'm like I could do this because
I really love mentoring people and
you know in my job I'm supporting a
whole bunch of franchisees and so just
the the ability to help pass on the knowledge
and so it's really just been a growth of understanding
and education and that confidence to share that that
message and yes social media has probably been my biggest challenge and
yet biggest breakthrough in terms of getting
And because you've learned other cool skills too like selling and marketing
Yeah, the strategies and the frameworks that
you put in place, and you make it
so simple. Like, who'd have thought that selling was
like six steps? And that's it, you know?
My money-making algorithm. Yes, you're a banana bread. I liken it to banana bread. Yes.
I love that. that really
worked for me because it was like, okay, right. So it's all
the same. And no matter which business
you're in, it's, it's the same process
that you need to go through. Just follow the recipe and,
um, and you'll get the results and
just keep doing the boring things because
it works. And then what's that saying that you have, you
know, divorced the outcome and
fall in love with the process. So I do
love that. And so, you know, instead of being focused
on, oh, I've got to think big picture, just Keep
it simple. And that's certainly one of the things I've
learned is breaking it down into little
steps, because I get overwhelmed a lot. And I'm thinking, oh, I've got
to do this and this and this. And we've got to
make our business grow massively. But it's like just
to get a lead. Just keep
it simple. Get back to basics. Get the
leads, record the leads, find out where they're coming from
and then take the next step. And so just
that taking the next step, following the process is what
Yes. And yeah, marry the process which
you're doing and divorce the outcome which you're doing. Wonderful.
Okay, so here's what I want to ask you now. What's the old money story you
that I had to work hard and
save it because I wasn't
worthy of it because other
people were better than me. So I was very much, I
didn't Self-confidence was
a big thing for me. And so it was always like, oh, that's, I
will never be rich because I'm not worthy of
I don't know. My parents worked hard,
you know, and so they worked hard and, you know, we didn't have a bad
life at all. Like we grew up, I thought, fairly well. We
weren't rich, but, you know, we had a pretty
good life and we went on holidays and things like that. And so
my thinking was that you had to work hard to get your
money and that was it. I never really had
any experience
or connections of people with businesses and so I didn't really know
the other, I lived in a bubble, like there was this whole world
out there that I didn't really understand and so I thought, oh well I'm
not, I'm not in the group and so
therefore that can't be me, like I
always felt there was something more but
I was like, oh well maybe it's, maybe it's
So the old money story is that and what would you say now for the last seven
months? What's your new one? What's the new money story you're
I can do anything. Keep it simple, follow
the process and set
yourself a target and you know, believe
in what you're doing and give
value because money
is just, money is just a vehicle. Like it's
not, It's not about making the money. It's
about exchange of value and
the money will come. And so that I
think really changed my mindset. Cause it's like, ah,
so here I am so focused on the money side of things and I want more
money, but it was like, I just need
to focus on the giving value and
What a great lesson. That is so well
articulated. Thanks. You communicate so well. I
couldn't have said it better myself. So you've learned how to conjure money out of
You're a money magician. You've learnt the art
of giving is how you get, yes? You give value
and help people solve problems, you make money. They pay you in return for
Yes, and I love solving problems, love puzzles and things like
that, so it's like, this is all working in
It's a game, and you're good at the game now. You know the rules
You know how to play the game now? Yes. Now you've just got to get better at the game as
And I've heard many years ago how you play games is
how you play life. So, now I know the rules of this game.
Yes. You know the rules of the money game. Excellent. So
I want to ask you this question to finish up. Of the
experiences you've had with shifting your
capital, making it work better for you, so becoming a better capital allocator,
right? And having encouragement and the support to
make those capital allocation decisions yourself that you knew you had to make already.
And having free cash flow and learning to put it to work to get some passive
income. and deploying some of those new skills, the money-making
recipe onto your business now, which I know you're doing to increase
the income and value of that, and your own personal
growth, too, with the breakthroughs you've had in how you're showing up
as a person, your personal confidence, how you're showing confidence here
today on the show. Out of all that, in the last seven
months, which has been amazing, what would say would
be your very best advice to our audience? What's
show up and take action. Cause even though it's hard, like
just being present learning.
Well, if you're on a call, commit and show up. So
do what you say you're going to do and show
up for yourself as well. So, uh, if
you want to do something, you have to, show
up to do, yeah, do
what you say you're going to do and set
time aside for yourself to do
those things. So yeah, show up to
the calls, show up for other people, you know, be present.
Be on there. Don't do it half-assed. Yeah. Excellent. So
show up, commit, and Outside
Be okay with being scared. Like, it's
going to be scary to do some of the things, but you've got to get outside your
comfort zone to grow. So just
do it. Like the reels and the social media stuff,
you just have to have the courage to
do the hard things and just, it only takes, you
know, a moment or whatever it is, you know, you only need
courage for a few minutes or a few seconds to
Yeah, take messy action, which you've been so good at. Is
this the first podcast episode you've ever done? Yes. And look at you go.
I know. Taking action, not even messy. Scared
as hell. You're scared now? Yeah. You don't look scared. So
you had a little bit of courage, growing yourself. Your money's in
Amazing. Yeah, I'm excited to grow our
business, that I can teach
other people like mentor other
people and grow our business and give them opportunities and

as well. So like I, the
future looks like inspiring others is what I would
Lovely. I love it. You've invested in yourself. Now you get to help others. And
so do you feel like mentoring has been an effective approach for
Because you can connect with them and they
help you take messy action and put
you on a path that you may not
want to go down, but in your heart of hearts, you know, that's the right
Then you just have to do it. Whether you like it or not. Just
give it a go. Because if you don't give it a go, you'll never
know. And I don't want to live in regret going,
oh, well, what if I did this? So, yeah, it's been
good to connect with the right person. And
you've been a great mentor because you keep it real. So
there's no ifs, buts or maybes. It's like right down to
earth, no beating around the bush. So right.
And you're like, I just need to kick up the pants sometimes. Someone
who can do that and have a bit of fun along the way. Yeah.

prep. Living the dream. You are. It's funny. It's
like you've never driven so much in your life because you come down for events all the time and
Well, I was saying, I think it was meant to be that I moved because,
you know, if I was still down South, like this
would be a 16 hour drive every day. And I feel like I
should buy a house at the Gold Coast or at least rent a room.
I feel like I'm here every weekend. Actually, a lot of them have moved here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I should probably get a tax for a revenue share
for the city, bringing people here. Look, it's really interesting that
you mentioned that because it's in the book too, Pet Proximity. And you've
moved and you've had some proximity and you're here and you've got more proximity. And
proximity is power. You're learning because mentor once
taught me, he said, Lloyd, success is
sometimes something you've got to catch. like
a virus, you've got to be around it to catch it. And so that's what
I feel like you've been able to do a lot of lately as well. You're catching it, you
