275 | 7 Grades of Financial Wellbeing – Which one are you?

Where do you sit on the ladder of financial success?

In this episode, we’re unpacking a brand-new framework that outlines the seven grades of financial wellbeing… so you can self-assess your financial health in a way you’ve never been able to do before!

Here’s the deal, folks… this is new, fresh content. There’s actually nothing out there like this. ‘Cos what we’re about to discuss is the overarching framework of ALL the frameworks we’ve ever gone through over the last five years… and, truth be told, it probably took us from then ‘til now to get really clear on what we’re about to teach today! And to say we’re super excited to share this with you is probably the understatement of the year!

So, it goes something like this…

There’s a GRADING SYSTEM where you can work out exactly where you are on the ladder of financial success… and each grade – or level – has ACTION STEPS, including a “milestone move”, that will move you either up or down this ladder. Obviously, the idea is to move UP a grade and you do this through incremental habits and mindset shifts that will lift you up through each grade… all the way to the “wow” Pinnacle! (This, by the way, is NOT Financial Peace – it’s up there, but it’s actually not the highest tip of the mountain!)

Need an image to grasp this concept? Think of the Karate belts – you start at a white belt and the “best of the best” is the black belt, right? But from white to black there’s a whole bunch of colours in between that show what grade you’re in. And so, just like these karate belts, financial success has a very similar way to reveal where you’re REALLY at. White, Yellow, Orange, Green, etc, etc… Pretty cool, right?

So, essentially, this epic framework is the Yellow Brick Road that paves the way to get to Oz. Or climb out of its opposite if you happen to be stuck in the undesirable grades.

In EACH grade (remember, there’s seven) we’re walking you through…

  • The Headline – the one liner that sums up this grade
  • The Backstory – what gets you to this grade
  • The Big Picture – the main signs of this grade
  • Action Steps – what to do to move up from this grade (and what’ll make you fall down one!)
  • The Feelings – what you’re most likely to feel when you’re here
  • The Milestone Move – the ONE THING that’ll move you up a notch 😉

So… where do you reckon’ you sit? What colour’s your karate belt on financial wellbeing?

Let’s find, out shall we?

274 | Coronavirus Special: Keep calm and carry on!

With the Coronavirus outbreak spreading across the globe and impacting the economy, it begs the question… Is buying property right now still a good idea?

Well, without giving away today’s episode, the message we want to put out there is this… Keep Calm and Carry On.

Because when wide-spread contagions like the Coronavirus break out, they snowball into something else that’s also highly contagious… irrational human behaviour. So, our intention with this special episode is to separate facts from fiction so we stay informed about what’s really going on here without exasperating the issue until we have a crisis of confidence on our hands.

While we’re 100% NOT health experts, we’ve taken some very useful snippets from a recent ABC’s 7.30pm program, so you can hear from those who are experts on infectious diseases. They will give you a clear look at the Coronavirus, explaining in detail how it’s spread, who’s most at risk, what you can do to protect yourself and – perhaps most importantly – give you a realistic look at the numbers.

We have a few tidbits to add on the property side, incl. the Coronavirus’s potential impact on property prices and who should be mindful of taking out a home loan during this time.

Basically, for the majority of folk, it will be this… go full steam ahead. Don’t stop what you’re doing. Don’t be irrational. Just keep calm and carry on…

(And for goodness sake, don’t hoard the toilet paper… it only exasperates the issue! 🧻🧻🧻 )

Psst… in case you’re wondering, we’re talking about our epic New Framework NEXT WEEK!!! (Today’s episode just couldn’t wait 😉)

273 | Calling out the Bad Guys – How we Found our Voice & Our Top 5 Frameworks to Defend Against Bad Advice

The property industry is unregulated. What this means is that there are more than a few Bad Guys – and not just the sharks in white shoes – out there who slither under the radar and sell dodgy advice that, quite frankly, moves their wealth position and not yours.

This is what keeps us up at night. This is what keeps us showing up every Thursday. This is what started this podcast in the first place. And if you’ve been with us for a while, you’ll already know that The Property Couch is “the people’s podcast” – we’re on a crusade to even the playing field between sly property spruikers and everyday folks who simply want to move the dial on their financial position and create a better life for themselves.

So today – to mark our FIFTH BIRTHDAY! – we’re going out on a limb and doing something a bit different…

Here’s the deal… there’s no doubt that there IS bad advice out there. We wish it wasn’t that way, but it is. There’s no use running from reality.

So in this episode we’re actually diving deep on some experiences we’ve never spoken about before. We’re going to give you a look into what life was like for us BEFORE we started The Property Couch and what pushed us over the edge to start educating folks about how this industry really operates. You’ll get the backstory into how we found our voice, what we did to make sure people heard us and why we care so much about all this property, finance and money management stuff in the first place!

And because our folks have kindly given us the airtime and a reason to show up for the last five years — a quick shout out to ALL of you and a HUGE thank you for your titan-strength support over the years – we’re going to unpack what we’ve learnt from doing the podcast itself… and how all this affects the guests we handpick, the topics we cover and, most importantly, the FRAMEWORKS we share with you! We’re leaving no stone unturned…  and – word of warning! – we’re ripping through this one as we are covering A LOT in this bowel-over ep!! (Ben actually reckoned this one would go for 2 hours if we didn’t get a wriggle on!)

 

Our Five-Year Birthday Episode ALSO includes…

  • Our Top 5 Frameworks to Defend Against Bad Advice
  • Our Top 5 Favourite Episodes… Of All Time!!
  • Our Top 5 Favourite Guests… (Tricky, but we did it!)

270 | How To Recover When You’ve Lost Everything – Chat with NRL Star Matt Srama and Jaemin Frazer

“The aim of the game is to learn how to fill your own cup… to do the adult work.”Jaemin Frazer

Matt Srama lost everything. But then he did something that would turn this loss into a profound learning experience. And his life has dramatically changed as a result.

The question for you is… have you ever wanted to change something in your life, but found yourself getting in your own way? Maybe you keep repeating the same bad habits that are interfering with the result you really want. Or maybe you’re shackled to the same story that’s been running your life for a very long time, keeping you stuck, perhaps without you even realising what’s happening!!

Well folks, today’s exclusive episode is all about how to become the hero in your own story and finally do the “adult work” you need in order to live the life you truly imagined for yourself & recover from ANY set back. And we have not one, but TWO very special guests in with a very candid interview to reveal the framework folks need to create LASTING positive change… and ditch any self-fulfilling prophecies, insecurities or setbacks that could be standing in the way of real success!

Joining us today are two “repeat offenders” on the Couch and names you might already recognise…. retired professional NRL rugby league player for the Gold Coast Titans, Matt Srama (Episode 254) AND one of Australia’s leading Life Coaches and Founder of The Insecurity Project  — and Bryce’s own personal development coach — Jaemin Frazer (Episode 179).

Here’s the deal… Matt’s ridden the cycle of being a professional athlete – the excitement of being drafted, the excitement of earning good money, the excitement of having a huge crowd cheering for him and his teammates… and then felt the complete reverse of this … the shattering disappointment of a promising career cut short due to injury. And so, ‘cos we’re a big fan of the frameworks Jaemin teaches about getting through insecurity, Bryce saw an opportunity to chat to them both today and get a unique perspective that we don’t hear about too often…
