I felt like a fraud

For years after my first business collapsed and my partner was laid off, I struggled to stay out of debt and build a secure financial foundation. I built a new business which was doing really well. But despite this our personal finances would temporarily recover; hit a crisis, then send us right back into debt again. How could I be so good at making money; but be such a mess personally? I felt such a fraud.

My obsession opened the door to the answers I needed

Then one night, I watched a tv show with celebrity financial adviser Alvin Hall. He went into people’s homes, analysed their financial problems and told them what to do next. It was as if an explosion went off in my head. Making money was great, but the key was how you managed and allocated it. My accounting training never taught me that part. I became obsessed with coming up with a system that I could master and stick to.

It changed my life!

Within months....

Our debts were down and savings crept up. We managed to switch back from an interest only to a repayment mortgage. I started investing again. I could focus on business. I loved my man once more. And my stress levels plummeted. I felt a sense of freedom for the first time in years.
