Either being a real estate agent or a mom can be a challenge in its own right. Yet being both requires someone special.
The need to be all things to all people is demanding and draining. It can often distract your focus from the things that really matter. It can be overwhelming, finding the time for all the demands in your life. Which can lead to a lack of focus and motivation.
Having a coach on side, helps you think through and prioritise what is really important to you. Sometimes you may already know your big picture. However as a mom in real estate is can be the day to day where the real challenges lie.
Just figuring out the right routines that will work for you. Planning for unexpected eventualities that come from being in real estate and being a mother.
Whether you are fresh from getting your license. Looking how to kick off your real estate success in the right way. Have been in the industry for a while yet are not seeing the level of success you had hoped for. Or have been rocking real estate a while but have hit a plateau. Having a coach who can help you maximise your full potential is essential.
Look to any and all of the big time players in real estate. You’ll see the common denominator is they all have coaches.
Coaching has a whole host of benefits as you will see below. However two that resonate most with the real estate moms I have coached are; the fact that you are actually accountable to someone else for your actions. Followed by the level of motivation that coaching has provided them with. Keeping the on track to reaching and even succeeding their goals.
What’s more. Working with an industry veteran who is still active, can really help lead you to success in the current market.
Benefits of coaching
Helps you set stretch goals and achieve them
Coaching helps you to get crystal clear on your big picture. The goals you need to achieve to reach them. It will push you outside of your comfort zone. But in a pleasant yet challenging way that is whole-heartedly aligned to who you are.
Give your a new perspective
Whether you’re stuck or just looking at things the wrong way. Having a coach will provide you with a whole new perspective on so many things. This shift will see you create what we like to call “aha” moments. Where suddenly the clouds will part and it will all become clear.
Increased engagement in your business
Though engaging with a coach, you are stepping up to becoming more engaged with your business. You are dedicating time to focus on what matters and why. This alignment will not only impact your business, but your life. Leading you to achieve what it is you truly desire.
Deep level of learning
Learning is essential in real estate, especially when license renewals come around. Yet the level of learning experienced with coaching is far deeper, reflective and focused on you.
Self awareness
With this new level of learning you will begin creating awareness for yourself. Not only in your sessions with your coach, but in your day to day. This self awareness is what will propel your business to the next level.
Support to improve specific skills
If it’s skills you need, having an experienced and industry specific coach is even more beneficial. Whilst the premisses of coaching requires you do the work. A knowledgable coach will be able to help support and guide you. In building additional skills that are perfectly connect with real estate and your business.
Challenged to think hard
Coaching, isn’t about someone telling you how to do something, or teaching you the newest trend. It requires you do the hard work, but there is good reason for that. Because by challenging you to think harder. Your coach is providing you with the tools and skills to continue to grow within your business. Independent of any third party source.
More accountability
Just knowing your coach is going to ask you the difficult questions around whether you did something or why you have put it off. In itself is enough to help most people stick to what they set. However if not, coaching will get to the heart of the matter and uncover what’s really at play.
Increased confidence
Knowing you are your best self will bolster most people’s confidence. Yet having the support of a coach behind you to work through the doubt, questioning and self belief we all have in our businesses. Will help build stead fast confidence that will guide you in all areas.
Help you evolve in your business
If you are looking for success on your terms then coaching is what will get you there. It can help increase our productivity, improve your bottom line. Overcome plateaus, and keep a flow of energy, ideas and strategies running as the life blood of your business.
