Fiona Lewis – Super Savvy Business
Fiona Lewis, author, speaker and online business coach, launched her career as an internet marketer in 2008 and has been highly successful in running an online marketing consulting business, servicing small to medium-size businesses and various savvy entrepreneurs across Australia and the world in their online marketing.
Three years later in 2011, Fiona established Mumpreneurs Online as a way to pass over her knowledge to mums who are wanting to start an online business from home.
The same year saw the publishing of her first book, Mumpreneurs Online: EXPOSED, and the launching of a training membership site, Mentoring Mums Online. The website is an addition to Mumpreneurs Online, being brainstormed as a monthly membership aimed at the work-from-home mums. Fiona has since been published as an expert author in It’s That Easy: Online Marketing 3.0 in 2013.
In 2012, Fiona felt a need for a new company which would encompass all her activity and now she has finally succeeded in giving life to Super Savvy Business – an umbrella of all her businesses. And with the establishment of this business, Fiona also launched the Savvy Mastermind coaching program, which offers a higher level of internet marketing coaching to business owners who are seeking top level guidance and direction to grow their business through the internet.
Ben Levi – RentingSmart
Ben Levi – 30 years old, licensed real estate agent, landlord, and the founder of RentingSmart … and that guy from the Angry Birds proposal.
In 2010 Ben did some number-crunching on his investment property and realised that if he put the 6% property management fee into his mortgage each month (as an additional amount) instead of into the pockets of real estate agents, he would SAVE over $75,000 over his 25-year mortgage!! With that realisation Ben fired his property manager…. and his next thought was… “what now?â€
Over the next year Ben raised funding, and together with tech co-founder, Joe, launched RentingSmart.com – online property management software creating successful Australian landlords!
RentingSmart provides profesional tools to private landlords – improves organisation, helps you get paid on time, minimise vacancies and simplifies tax-time.
Also known as “That Guy From The Angry Birds Proposalâ€
