People I’ve walked alongside

In their own words, unedited. Most of these photographs were taken along the way — which is rather the point.

I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside Jill McIntyre for over nineteen years as my coach, my mentor and quite simply, someone who has shaped the way I lead my life, my business, and my family. In all that time, I have never met anyone with a gift like hers… An uncanny ability to see straight past what we present to the world, find the quiet ache underneath and help us turn it into growth we didn’t know we were capable of.

I’ve watched Jill’s magic change people in front of me more times than I can count and I’ve felt it change my own life too.

Matt wrote these words as the foreword to Fitting Many Lives Into One. The rest of it — where he writes about the book itself — appears at the front of the book.

I started mindset coaching with Jill in 2019, just prior to COVID, at a time when I was struggling to secure property deals and projects. Through Jill's guidance, support, and unique way of shifting my mindset, I was able to see new opportunities and multiple possibilities, within my area of focus, that I'd previously overlooked.

Working together helped me move beyond the limiting thinking that had been holding me back, both personally and professionally. The growth in my confidence, clarity, and direction has had a lasting impact on my life and business journey.

Today, I have built a strong portfolio of projects and co-own a construction company in partnership with a builder. I am incredibly grateful to Jill for the support, coaching, and guidance she has provided over the years, and for the role she's played in helping me move forward with greater purpose and belief in what's possible.

I was coasting through life in my early 20s with very little confidence or knowledge as to the direction I was heading in life. The trigger that made me understand I needed help was when I was coming home from my job, so depressed that I would just lay straight on the couch and watch tv until it was bedtime and wake up, forcing myself out of bed to then go to work and do the same thing over and over and again.

Jill has a gift of being able to tell if you are trying to avoid being uncomfortable, or if you try to make an excuse for why you didn't do something, she had the ability to really home in on the deeper reason as to why you're avoiding something.

Jill is an amazing human being, she is very attuned with her clients, and I always felt like I'm heard when talking to her. My life would not be where it is today without my ongoing sessions with Jill, I am grateful and proud to call her a friend.

One of the first things Jill showed me was this: when confronted with a major problem in life, give yourself 24 hours to process it and deal with it. Then let it go — otherwise you are being drained of emotional energy.

Jill gave me the ability to analyse and deal with many problems. To recognise that I am not to be used as a sounding board for others to vent — and in doing so, to stop taking on their negative energy.

One of the biggest pluses was learning to say 'no.' For most of my life I'd been a 'Yes' person — not realising I had the right to say no, if something wasn't a good fit for me.

I clearly remember Valentine's Day 2020 as a significant turning point in my life — the day I was introduced to Jill McIntyre. From that moment, I began to see myself, my beliefs, and the world around me in a new and more meaningful way.

That day marked the beginning of a renewed focus on my property journey — and a coaching relationship that would change everything. Jill's belief in me gave me the confidence to step away from full-time employment, commit fully to my passion for property, and begin honestly exploring the limiting beliefs that had been holding me back. I began to understand that the barriers I faced weren't out there in the market — they were ones I had created in my own mind.

With Jill's guidance, I was able to acknowledge where those beliefs came from, release what no longer served me, and move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and self-belief. The shift in my thinking opened doors I hadn't known were there — and what once felt impossible began to feel not only possible, but within reach.

At times the process was challenging and confronting — but it was also deeply empowering. Jill's feedback and advice are always practical, actionable, and grounded. She equipped me with powerful tools, helped me discover my own, and supported my growth every step of the way — both personally and professionally.

Jill has a unique ability to connect deeply and quickly through her profiling — communicating in a way that truly resonates and inspires. Her story continues to move me every day, and is proof that when we shift our thinking, all things truly are possible.

I first came across Jill at a networking event, where she spoke about the recurring habits and blind spots we use to hold ourselves back — the excuses we convince ourselves are real reasons we can't achieve our dreams. It's not the right time. I don't have enough money. I can't leave my job — I have bills to pay. But the real reason, of course, is fear.

I'd been telling myself the same story for some time. It felt as though Jill was speaking directly to me — and I knew instinctively that I needed to work with her.

Since working together, we've tackled many challenges with practical, grounded solutions that have kept me moving forward. We keep exploring options until we find what works — and that process alone has given me enormous confidence that no problem is unsolvable. I believe that one hundred percent.

One of the biggest turning points came when I was let go from my stable job and simply couldn't face returning to the 8am to 8pm grind. Jill gave me the confidence to back myself and set up my own business — with just $1,300 in my bank account and the need to make money fast.

Together we mapped it out: drive Uber three nights a week to cover the bills and use the remaining time to build a buyer's agent business. In my first year, my income surpassed what I'd earned in my old job. By my second year, I'd doubled it — and I've maintained a consistent six-figure income ever since, working far fewer hours than before.

I am truly grateful.

Jill brought a wealth of systems and processes that gave me a clear and methodical way to move forward. Drawing on her experience, she offered a range of options — allowing me to choose the ones I knew I could work with and commit to.

Her ability to brainstorm and identify practical solutions kept the momentum building — backed by accountability sessions that were consistent, focused and results-driven.

Procrastination to action. I was constantly being stretched beyond my comfort zone — and whenever I stalled, Jill had a way of helping me identify exactly what was needed to pick myself up and get going again.

Jill's perspective and experience allowed me to see opportunities that I would have overlooked. Sometimes we get stuck in one frame of mind and think that is the easiest way to achieve a goal. Ultimately it may not be the best way to move forward. She provides different strategies that allows you to explore and think outside of the square. One example was when I was looking to find a property myself and trying to do a development with limited knowledge. The risks were high. She suggested I team up with an experienced developer and work together to develop a property. By doing so, we would share our knowhow and reduce the risk of losing money in a development.

Mindset growth and accountability have been the key for me. And to achieve the goals I set myself on this journey. I have pivoted many times but still stay on the property development path. But with a slightly different perspective, that ultimately makes money to support the dreams and lifestyle I choose.

I've had a huge transformation from the time I started with Jill, to where I am now. When I started, I had a limited mindset thinking. It was hard to attract money, and I was worried that if I found a deal I wouldn't be able to fund it. That flowed onto my fears, that people may not trust me later if I couldn't fund deals. This mindset shift has changed dramatically, as I've gone from a person who thought getting money to fund a deal was extremely hard, to someone who is now funding millions of dollars in deals each year. I have a pool of investors waiting to jump onto new deals that I share with them. It's so true — when a deal is very attractive and profitable, the money will follow. You just have to know your investors and provide the information they are asking.

Every successful person I've ever come across has had someone in their corner — a mentor who genuinely cares enough to call you out when you need it, and to help you push through the things holding you back. Jill is that person for me.

She has this incredible network — the right people, in the right places — and whenever I need a connection, she just pulls it straight out of her rolodex. Someone to work with, learn from, grow alongside. I ask, and she delivers.

Over the time I've been working with Jill, I've grown in ways I didn't expect — both personally and professionally. On starting with Jill, my building a property portfolio was just a dream I'd think about. Now two and a half years later it's what I do every day — and I still have to pinch myself!

My residential building design business is stronger than it's ever been, and a lot of that comes down to the clarity I've found through our sessions together. Jill has a way of opening your mind to what's actually possible — and once she does that, everything else just starts to fall into place.

Hands down, working with Jill has been the best investment I've ever made — for myself personally and my business and dreams. I've made a lot of investments over the years, so I know the difference when I see it. Thanks, Jill, for everything you have done and continue to do.

While I had read posts and heard Jill speak online in various property and mindset related content over the years, we did not cross paths until late 2022 at a dynamic event run for property developers. In hindsight, it's clear that the timing and coming together with Jill were at exactly the right moment — as there were several challenges I was facing in my business journey which required some personal learning, gentle direction, and a genuine shift in the way I was thinking.

What I didn't fully appreciate at the start was how much my old thinking patterns were holding me back. Over many conversations and with Jill's guidance over the last few years, I've progressively replaced those patterns with a new way of seeing — one that continues to produce many rewarding and fulfilling moments, far beyond what I could have imagined.

Jill provides a powerful balance of practical tools and mindset learning that creates real and lasting forward momentum. For me, that shift in thinking has been the single most important aspect of my success — and it's one I continue to build upon every day.

Working with Jill since February 2019 has been a deeply transformative experience. Over the past seven years of growth, expansion, and fulfilment, Jill has been an invaluable sounding board and guide as I navigated life as a business owner.

When my vision for LiveComfy first started, I knew where I wanted to go, but Jill truly helped me map out how to get there. Her emphasis on the vital role of open, clear communication has become a cornerstone of our company culture. With her guidance along the way, LiveComfy has grown from an initial concept into a thriving business with 14 staff and bases in 5 major locations across Australia.

Jill doesn't just help you build a business; she helps you grow as a leader. I am incredibly grateful for her ongoing support and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone ready to take their vision to the next level.

I've known Jill for nine years now, and over that time she has become one of the most important people in my life. We've talked through everything — business, property, investing, the hard stuff and the good stuff. Life. Mindset, especially, because that's where the real work happens.

Jill has loads of experience, but what sets her apart is the gift of reading people. She knows you within five minutes. She has the knack of telling you what you need to hear, exactly when you need to hear it. And she can sense it from a distance — more times than I can count, the phone has rung at the exact moment I needed her, before I even knew I did.

She has been a huge part of my growth, and she has become a dear friend. I'm extremely proud of what she has achieved and excited for her on this new journey.

Working with Jill over the past two years has been incredible for both of us. In the beginning, she helped us break through limiting beliefs and build the confidence we needed to grow in our property development journey.

Now, two years later, we have completed projects behind us, with more exciting projects underway — something we genuinely don't think we would have achieved without her guidance and support.

Jill has been instrumental in helping us grow, always providing guidance, reassurance, and clarity when needed, while also giving us the space and confidence to truly step into our own as developers, and as individuals. She has supported us through every step of the journey, especially during any “wobbles,” and we're incredibly grateful for everything she has helped us achieve. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to grow in property development and mindset.
