Amy Harris: The power of saying yes

In this episode of Money Stories, we chat with Amy Harris, our usual co-host of the Money Stories podcast, a property investor, and a key part of the family behind the business In Financial Services. At just 29, Amy has achieved incredible property success—but it all started as a university student with no real savings and big dreams.

Amy shares how embracing the power of saying yes to opportunities and accepting help from others opened the door to her property investment journey. With a little nudge from her mum (Janine Harris—Ep. 2) and the support of government grants, Amy was able to purchase her first property during the pandemic. From there, she discovered the rewards of taking calculated risks and saying yes to opportunities, turning her parents' initial support into over $700,000 in wealth in just three years.

Throughout this episode, Amy reflects on the mindset shifts that helped her succeed, the lessons she learned from buying, renovating, and investing, and why reaching out for help can make all the difference. She also talks about the importance of focusing on your own goals—ignoring the noise of what others might think—and just doing what you need to do to move forward. Most importantly, she reminds us all to have fun along the way and not take things too seriously, because enjoying the process is just as important as achieving the outcome.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking for inspiration, Amy’s story is proof that property investing is more achievable than it seems when you’re willing to learn, take risks, and say yes to the possibilities ahead.
