• Why saving for a large deposit can be counterproductive as property prices rise faster than savings
• The effectiveness of off-the-plan property investment requiring only a 10% deposit initially

From the tennis court to financial freedom, Elia Hill's journey is a masterclass in transitioning passion into purpose. The former Tennis Queensland acting CEO and our Mastering teams share how the mindset of elite athletes—unwavering commitment, natural hunger, and relentless drive—shaped her approach to wealth creation and helping others achieve financial independence.

"Every day, you decide that you're going to lay one brick," Magnus explains, revealing the power of small, consistent actions that compound over time. This philosophy underpins Elia's current role as Chief Growth Officer at Neustar, where she guides clients through property investment strategies most never learned in school.

The conversation tackles the seemingly insurmountable challenge young people face with average house prices hitting $1 million. Rather than traditional saving methods that can't keep pace with rising property values, the team outlines alternative approaches like off-the-plan investments where a 10% deposit can grow substantially during construction.

What stands out is the stark contrast between financial education and real-world wealth creation. "You don't learn about recycling debt. You don't learn about tax efficiencies," she points out, highlighting why many high-income earners still struggle financially while those with moderate incomes but smarter strategies pull ahead.

This episode bridges sports psychology and financial strategy, demonstrating how elite athletes' discipline, curiosity, and strategic thinking create a foundation for success in any field. Whether you're at the starting line of your financial journey or looking to accelerate your wealth creation, Elia's insights will transform how you view the building blocks of financial freedom.
