Gennavieve LyonsGENNAVIEVE LYONS


Despite being quite the traveller and adrenaline junkie, Gennavieve’s main passion has always been property and investing. She however, like many of you, was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Rewinding to a time before living life on her terms, Gennavieve studied like her life depended on it, and now holds several qualifications, including Certificates in Business, Management, Life Coaching and a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, which she put to good use as a News Reader with several Queensland radio stations before moving to Perth.

It is Gennavieve’s thirst for learning and watching others achieve that ‘light bulb’ moment that lead her to this point and the creation of Lyons Property Mentoring. With clients and subscribers coming from all walks of life, with amazing stories, knowledge and experience.

By personally owning real estate in several countries, Gennavieve can safely say that if you live in Australia and getting ahead financially is something that interests you, this country presents you with the best and safest property opportunities on the planet. She has always been very active (or ‘fierce’ as we call it at LPM) with wealth building strategies and because of that, over the years, she was able to acquire wealth through a diverse property portfolio in her early 20’s, while developing a reputation as an educator around all things property and lifestyle creation.

For those who are looking to gain something extra from their lives, Gennavieve is always more than happy to share her journey with you in the hope of bringing some inspiration (or humour, there’s been a lot of mistakes!) to your day, but more importantly to help you progress towards your own ‘Why’. Don’t be shy, we would love to hear from you! You can contact Gennnaviere through this email info@lyonspropertymentoring.com.au.
