Hiring a real estate coach

There are lots of reasons to be missing your target, but do you know why you are? I’ve had two coaches in my life and sometimes they see things differently about my career than I do. That is why I hired them, they look at my business to see what I can do better, looking from the outside in. Like my daughter her, she didn’t realize that she was closing her eyes and it has made the difference between a strike and a huge hit! So, here is to that huge hit and to my real estate coaches who have opened my eyes.

All the best actors, athletes, and business moguls have coaches. Why would we not need a coach?

Todd, we always need someone to critique us...a coach in real estate is a must...does she hit curve balls?

I've had some awesome coaches in my industry.....they do have the perspective that we who are too close to the action seem to be missing!

Hi Doug, cute pic of your daughter, agree with you on the coaches, now if coaches would work on future commissions, that would help a lot of agents trying to get started in real estate or existing ones as well.

Excellent advice for a coach. I bet your daughter didn't know she was closing her eyes? Maybe afraid of the ball? She has to 'belt it for all it's worth' everytime she's up to bat. Not only good advice for baseball but life too.

Todd,

Realty is a matter of prospective. An objective second opinion can be very helpful! All most people get is criticism for it's own sake from people that know no more and often less than they do.

My concern with coaches and coaching is that many act like some attorneys and other montobankos who feel they have to criticize and make changes not to help, but rather to justify their fee! A good coach builds on what you've got. A great coach speaks just as frankly about what you're doing right as he does about mistakes.

Todd, 

Love this analogy!  We were just talking about doing even more targeting at lunch today.  Critical to keep your eyers WIDE OPEN when up to bat in real estate or any other field. 

All the best, Michelle

Todd.  That is so cute.  I wonder if she thought the ball was going to hit her in the face.  I don't blame her if she did.

Great analogy Todd. Keeping our eyes open, learning from others and finding ways to improve our business are very important.

Oh, no.  Not the old holding my eyes shut tight while being up to bat trick!

Reminds me of some buyers and sellers I know.

And not a few agents.
