Folks, welcome to the very first episode of The Property Couch’s next chapter. 🎉 

We’re kicking things off with one of the most important yet misunderstood drivers of financial success, personal growth, and long-term wealth:   

Goal setting, and more importantly, consistency. 🎯 

And what better way to kick it off than with two guns when it comes to mindset, performance, and sustainable success?!  

Joining us on the couch is Brett “Birdman” Burton: Adelaide Crows legend (177 games across 12 AFL seasons), now a Leadership & Wellbeing Facilitator, alongside Kirsty “KD” Dunphey, who is officially part of the Property Couch Crew. You can catch her first episode as a special summer series guest here.  

In this episode, we break down: 

  • Why motivation alone is never enough to sustain success 
  • The hidden role emotion plays in driving financial and behavioural decisions 
  • Why starting small builds momentum faster than going all-in 
  • The power of purpose-driven goals (and why “why” matters more than “what”) 
  • Practical ways to build habits that actually stick 
  • The 5 Pillars of Consistency for sustained success 

If you’re serious about kicking goals this year, financially, personally, or professionally, this is where you start.
