pdf Dec07-MFAA Cover Story.pdf
Six years ago, shortly after taking a redundancy from banking giant Citibank, Melinda Young turned up to her first function in a new guise as a mortgage broker. “They had a door prize that I won and it was a laptop. I am just a lucky person,” she says. “It was amazing because three months later I started up and I had the laptop ready to go. It was meant to be.

Young concentrated on sales while her partner handled the administration duties and business strategies.
