Real Producers


Oct 31, 2024

Many agents enter the industry thinking it’s all about selling. But, over time, some discover a higher calling—coaching. While selling helps individuals, coaching impacts entire communities, creating bigger opportunities for everyone involved. It’s a shift that takes your real estate career to a new level, allowing you to make a lasting difference in people’s lives.

The pivot from selling to coaching isn’t just about you, it’s about expanding your reach. As a coach, you help others in your world achieve more than they ever thought possible.

The transition from selling to coaching may seem daunting, but it can be the game-changer you need. Coaching allows you to unlock your potential in a way that traditional selling can’t (and unlock potential in others). Imagine the satisfaction of empowering others while creating bigger opportunities for yourself and those in your network.

How could helping others succeed redefine your own success? How do we recognize when it's time to pivot from simply selling to becoming a catalyst for change?

In this episode, Operating Principal at Keller Williams Realty, Inc Tara Smith joins me to talk about coaching as a pathway to greater fulfillment and impact, what the pivot form selling to coaching looks like and her journey to being a 4x franchise owner. We also talk about the importance of mindset when it comes to success and how to get rid of our own limiting beliefs.

 

90% of success is mindset related. -Tara Smith
