It was just over a month ago now when we sat down with the Judo Boys who initially introduced to us the concept of the migrant mindset… And this week’s Winter Series guest is a living testament to the power of this mindset.  

Meet Mila Holmes, an amazingly disciplined and driven Winter Series guest who, together with her partner, owns a property portfolio worth nearly $2M.  

But growing up….?  

There was one morning when she and her family woke up…

With their entire life savings WIPED. 😱 

Mila shares what it was like to experience this, from growing up living with 10 other people (yep…housing in USSR is VERY different to Australia) and rampant debt levels to how she made the brave, life-changing decision to move to Australia – by herself. 

 We’ll cover TONS of gold from her winning “Scientific Approach” to investing to how she became MoneySMART including aligning partner money personalities and getting a property plan.  

And if this wasn’t enough, we’ll cover how she’s flourished in the last 14 months of rate rises AND has come to own an absolute 70s gem in Surfers Paradise.
