Steph Talks about building wealth in Property. As we dig deep into this episode, we will find out:

It all started when She earned her first 50 cents of pocket money from her mum. To her, that fifty cents was not just a shiny piece of silver, it was a ‘million dollars’ or at least that’s how she felt holding it in her hand. Later that day She went to the grocery store with her mum to buy a chocolate bar, “why don’t you use your 50 cents” the mom said to her, she looked at her blankly, then at the chocolate bar and then back at the 50 cents. It was that moment that went on to define her. It was that moment that made her realise that if she could make another 50 cents she would have options.

You often hear successful people talk about finding your “why”, your passion in life, the reasons you get up of a morning, or the career you live to be doing. She didn’t know what her ‘why’ was for a very long time and in an effort to find it she have worked a total of 24 different jobs in her short 25 years of life and she have probably interviewed for 50 or 60 across different industries. Everything from cleaning houses, to taxi driving, to modelling, to engineering, to government, to retirement, to pet cremation and those are just some of the jobs she’s done, not to mention the ones she’d interviewed for like account management in TV advertising or becoming a trainee dental assistant.

It wasn’t until 2011 when she started her first business, in small business consulting, that I would find my ‘why’ and what it would eventually mean to me. Seeing the portfolio’s her client would build and the returns property could bring in both capital growth and rental return inspired me to want to know more and saw her pursue a career in real estate.

Shortly after she started investing and in 2012 on her 22nd birthday she purchased her first property on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and in just under 3 years she went on to become the owner of seven investment properties worth $2.7million dollars.

In 2014, She started her second business Step Wealth which enabled others to create wealth through property. After significant media attention on her own investing story she become known for being Australia’s youngest property tycoon and expert at the age of 24. She featured in leading media outlets across Australia including The Australian, Sydney Morning Herald and The Courier Mail. She appeared on Channel 7, Channel 9 and 2UE radio and also featured in US and UK media, appeared as a guest speaker at national events, and co-authored 3 books. During this time her business grew exponentially before selling the company assets in the second quarter of 2016.

As a serial entrepreneur and avid investor,She’s seen all kinds of ups and downs and experienced many moments of self doubt but throughout this my vision to build wealth and help others do the same has always remained clear.
