A mum has shared how she became a self-made millionaire by 40 - by making use of other people's money, being 'brave' and not getting caught up in others' opinions. Maureen Pound, 54, shared the five things she did to become rich and says to make money you need to 'take action'.
The mum-of-two shared how she would set a strategy and stick to it and made the decision not to live in her biggest asset, a three-bedroom $199k (£116k) property in Australia - instead renting it out for $1,400 (£813) per month. Another nugget of her advice was to 'get really great people around you' to help do the things you aren't good at.
Maureen started out as a secondary teacher aged 27 before entering the corporate world - writing IT training for companies like Tesco and the United States Air Force. She saved as much money as possible from her pay packet to purchase properties - which she then decided to rent out.
