Business mentor Simone Milasas reveals how she turned around her fortunes after realising she wasn't doing well with money.

Business mentor Simone Milasas reveals how she turned around her fortunes after realising she wasn't doing well with money.

Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it’s how one woman went from deeply in debt, to being rich enough to buy into a castle in Italy. Hosted by Frances Cook.

Sometimes you need a shock in order to make a change and today’s guest certainly had one of those in the past.

She’d known she wasn’t doing well with money but when she decided to face it head-on and add up how much she owed, she realised with horror that it was $187,000.

Not only did she manage to pay that off, but she’s since gone on to create her own business and become pretty wealthy.
