Australian Finance Podcast · 3 ways to save $10k ASAP, side hustles & taking back control feat. Mel Browne · 12 Dec 2022 podcast

let's stop this accidental nature and let's actually figure out what you want to do.

And what I realized is I loved business.

You know, I geeked out on Jim Collins and I really, I started an MBA and really started to geek out on business.

And I realized that my accounting gave me insight into the figures of so many business owners and into their wealth creation or lack thereof.

And I was able to really transform their lives through that process.

And that excited me.

So I built that business.

I started writing during that time because I love creativity and I love writing particularly.

So I started a blog around fashion and business and that became my first book, More Money for Shoes.

And as a result of writing that book, the then editor of the Sydney Morning Herald rang me and said, so I'm surrounded by men in suits and you really seem like a chick.

So would you come and write for us?

I'm like, I'm not sure what that means or whether to defend it or not.

But sure, I'm happy to start writing.

So I wrote for Fairfax at a money column fortnightly for seven years.

I've written for everyone from Vogue to Cosmo to CEO Magazine and more.

And I continue to write books, including the global bestseller on F, I won't say the word, You Finances.

And it was only pre... And I started a financial advice firm as well during that time because...

you know, for accountants to talk about self-managed super fund, we had to get licensed and I knew the industry was broken.

I had, I really struggled finding financial advisors we could give clients to and feel comfortable and not feel like they were just peddling product and not giving strategy.

So we decided to play in that space and not take commissions and just be full fee for service.
