Women in Finance: Changing Lives Beyond the Numbers

What does football have to do with financial freedom? Everything, according to our latest conversation with Khounch about recent industry conferences that left us inspired and motivated to make real change in our communities.

The excitement begins with Mike Pirro's new sponsorship of A-League football teams - a move that demonstrates their commitment to supporting communities and helping people realize their homeownership dreams. As Khounch passionately explains, this resonates deeply with our mission to show first-generation potential homeowners from underserved neighborhoods that property ownership is within reach. "If I can do it, I want to show everyone can do it," Khounch shares, reflecting on his journey from being a child who couldn't speak English to becoming a successful financial advisor.

Sir Graham Henry's appearance at the conference brought surprising insights about the softer side of the renowned coach and valuable lessons about team culture that translate perfectly to financial advisory work. The key takeaway? "You make your own luck" - whether on the football field or in your financial journey. This mindset shift is precisely what many clients need to overcome the paralysis created by negative financial news cycles.

The Financial Advice New Zealand Roadshow delivered sobering retirement planning statistics that surprised even us. A retired couple needs approximately $1,200 weekly for a comfortable lifestyle with "frills" - and that's assuming they own their home outright. With insurance costs and rates continuously rising, proper financial planning becomes essential, not optional. The stark reality for those still renting during retirement paints an even more challenging picture.

Perhaps most telling was the observation about gender representation in our industry. With only two women among nine advisors in breakout sessions, we're reminded why our mission to bring more women into financial advice matters so deeply. Many clients, particularly single mothers, simply feel more comfortable working with female advisors who understand their unique challenges. This is why we approach each client as a person with a name and story, not as a number toward monthly targets.

Ready to work with advisors who genuinely care about changing your life rather than just meeting quotas? Reach out today and experience the difference that authentic, person-centered financial advice can make in your journey toward homeownership and financial security.
