Coaching for Real Estate Agents

Coaching for Real Estate Agents

What is coaching?

Every coach runs their coaching practice according to their beliefs about what is the best way to help facilitate their client.

Coaching is helping another to reach your goals through accountability. There are many different types of coaching available:


  • Career Coaching
  • Corporate Coaching
  • Business Coaching
  • Personal Coaching
  • Life Coaching
  • Relationship Coaching
  • Transitions Coaching
  • Spiritual Coaching
  • Abundance Coaching
  • Health Coaching

This is just a partial list of the different specializations that are out there.

It is said that every successful person has had a coach. You would not go out and play tennis in a competitive environment without a coach. All great athletes are coached. All great speakers are coached. All great successful business executives have been coached.

If an athlete getting ready for the Olympics believes that it is important to have a coach so should every person getting ready to reach the next level of their business success, the next big spiritual journey, the next big change in a career or personal life.

We can not all make the shift on our own. Most people do better when they hold themselves accountable to someone else. This someone else should not be your significant other, a sibling or parent as they can not hold you totally accountable without bias.

Sometimes the people closest to us are the ones who try to protect us and as a result become naysayers and dreamslayers. Most loved ones do not do this intentionally, nevertheless, it is quite damaging to your dreams and visions. When self doubt starts creeping in it is hard to persevere.

Friends and co workers are definitely not in your corner in supporting your dreams and goals because “ birds of a feather flock together” . They want you to stay where they are at!

It is a proven fact that in 5 years from today you will stay the same as you are except for the books you read and the people you meet. Over an average of 5 years your income will rise in direct proportion to those friends you are hanging out with. So if all your friends are making $30,000 a year, chances are, so will you!

In order to fly with the eagles you must change course and change the birds you are hanging out with. This is not to say to abandon all your friends if they are all making less than what your goal is to make. You will see that as you grow, your friends will change.

So it comes down to the best way to move to the next level of whatever part of your life you are wanting to change or improve is to hire a coach to help in that process. A coach will never laugh at your dreams, will never scoff at your goals, and never be afraid of losing a friend because you are their client.

I heard a Big BAM!

Coaching For Real Estate Agents

And then our power went out! Yesterday at 12 noon the power on our street went out here in South Florida. There was no storm, no hurricane, no winds that could give us a power outage. I heard the transformer blow out with a loud BAM. And if made me wonder, “ WOW! Is Florida Power and Light really ready for the next big storm?”

I spent the next 30 minutes shutting down our computers and electronics in our office. I was thankful that we have battery back up power surges. That gives me a good 20 minutes to run around and shut down our systems.

For all you Real Estate agents; I would strongly suggest that if you do not have battery back up systems that you go out and invest in them today. No matter where you live a power outage can happen and you need time to shut down your computer safely so you do no lose your data.

It makes you think about getting ready for hurricane season which is coming upon us again. It is better to be prepared in advance before the problem happens. If you live in a hurricane area now is the time to prepare and get your supplies in order. Real Estate agents can send out a postcard to their database reminding their contacts to get prepared and add some tips to the mailer.

We went out to eat last night since we had no power. We did not want to go through the headache and hassle of setting up the generator. When we got back we started looking for our flashlights. Of course during the year since last hurricane season the kids played with the flashlights. We went to get the flashlights and most of them were not where they were supposed to be. Well, that makes you think some more about being prepared. So guess what is on my list to do in May? Get the batteries, flashlights, first aid kits, and food supplies all in order! What is on your list to get ready and be prepared?

We did not get our power back until 9:30 p.m. last night. So I was not able to post in my blog yesterday. I usually write my posts and upload them around 2 p.m. daily during the week. I don’t usually write in my blog on weekends because that is family time for us.

We are very blessed to live such a great life! A Real Estate agent’s life does not have to be chaotic and stressful. You can learn the skills needed to reduce your stress levels and organize your real estate career in such a way that you control your business and therefore your business does not control you.
