Kirsty Dunphey grew up immersed in an entrepreneurial wonderland: parents who had their own businesses and rental properties, who escaped the rat race and retired in their 30’s and who enveloped her in that culture working in their businesses from a young age. It was perfect, until as the story always goes, it wasn’t.
The valuable life lessons she lived through in her teens started the journey that lead her to starting her first two businesses coupled with two part time jobs under her belt at the age of 15, to her own award winning real estate agency at 21 and continuing on that path to being a self made millionaire at 23, self made multi millionaire by 25 and with the ability to completely retire for life at the age of 27.
