Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why would I need a Coach ?
A good coach will shorten the runway to achieving your goals by providing you with perspective,
insight, knowledge, and support. By removing blind spots and injecting new
information (because you don’t know what you don’t know!), a coach will help you to overcome
limiting beliefs and will provide you with guidance so that you can take massive action to
achieve your goals.
2. Is coaching expensive?
It can be. However, investing without a plan can be a lot more expensive! Coaching is an
investment in yourself and your education. No one can take that away from you, some programs
are very expensive while others are a lot more affordable. You must balance the investment in
yourself against the cost. What opportunities might you fail to maximize – or miss out on
altogether – because you didn’t have all the knowledge you needed to make a good decision in a
few short weeks?
3. How do I choose the right coach for me?
There are a lot of people offering different coaching services. You need to do your own due
diligence just like you would on a particular property or business deal, to find the right person to
help you achieve your goals. Here are a few considerations to keep in mind:
Experience: What kind of relevant experience does the prospective coach have? A
couple of deals over a few years might not provide adequate experience to help
you with long-range planning and execution. Most investors make money when
the markets are rising, but it takes a skilled and educated investor to continue to
thrive in a market downturn. Ensure the coach you choose has a proven history of
completing deals using the strategy you want to implement in all kinds of
markets.
Reputation: Ask others in your network about their experiences dealing with a
prospective coach. Is the coach known for being honest and ethical? Is their
program known for helping people to take action and achieve their goals?
Communication: Connect with former clients to get a sense of a coach’s
educational approach, communication style and approach. Then book a call
discovery to determine if their coaching and communication style resonates with
you.
