To thrive in the competitive real estate industry, personal and professional growth are essential. Many successful agents attribute their achievements to being coached. But before you dive into the world of coaching, ask yourself a crucial question: “Am I truly coachable?”

Here are three fundamental questions to reflect on before committing to coaching:

1. Am I open to feedback and new perspectives?

Real estate professionals often pride themselves on their knowledge and experience. However, embracing growth means being open to feedback that challenges your existing beliefs. Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone and try new approaches that may feel unfamiliar?

1. Am I ready for change?

Coaching is all about transformation. Are you prepared to adjust your mindset and embrace new ways of thinking? Being coachable entails being open to change, even when it challenges your current beliefs.

1. Am I goal-oriented?

Having clear goals is crucial for a successful coaching experience. A coach can help you identify, prioritize, and achieve your objectives by providing guidance and support. Are you willing to work with your coach to refine your goals and develop a plan to reach them?

In addition to these questions, consider the following:

• Are you willing to take action and implement changes based on your coach’s recommendations?
• Are you committed to the coaching process, even when it becomes challenging?
• Are you prepared to invest time, energy, and resources into your growth?

Being honest with yourself about your readiness for coaching is the first step towards a successful coaching journey. By being open to feedback, ready for change, goal-oriented, and committed to the process, you’ll set yourself up for transformation in both your business and personal life.
