It’s funny how we find the motivation to chase our goals, isn’t it?
For me, it was rejection.
I’d finally turned around my reckless spending habits, saved what I believed was a solid house deposit, and proudly booked an appointment with my bank. I was ready to become a proper adult—with responsibilities, not just a fabulous handbag and watch collection and a passport full of stamps.
Then came the rejection.
The bank wouldn’t lend to me. I wasn’t considered a “good risk”.
Deflated, I retreated straight back to spending and travelling while I licked my wounds.
Five years later (and five years of lost capital growth), I discovered mortgage brokers—and for the first time, someone who could actually find a lender and a loan structure that worked for me and my goals.
Fast forward to today.
I’m a mortgage broker, owner of two successful Mortgage Choice franchises, supported by an incredible team. I own our family home and have built a diversified property portfolio.
None of it happened by accident.
It came from determination, hard work, buying property, and learning how to leverage what I already had.
If you’d like to hear the full story, I share it in my conversation with Kristina Katsanevas from Transforming the Game.
