When you hit the wall, it's somewhat like being in quicksand. Try as you might, you can't pull yourself out.

• Last but not least, there is the issue of support. As a real estate agent, think of how many people you support on a daily basis. You are the support for all of your clients, all of your former clients, all of your prospects, and if you have kids, you are their support as well.

Who supports you? Who can you count on to lean on for yourself? This is where coaching fills a big need. When you have a coach, you have a committed ally, someone who is in your corner from week to week and is rooting for your success. How supportive do you think that feels? In addition, the coach can help you to see your "blind spots" and move past them.

Why do some people "resist" receiving coaching?

A reason that people often give is "I can't afford it." This actually turns out to be bogus, for the simple reason that coaching pays for itself. I ask my clients to think of how many transactions they need to close to pay for coaching. The answer is always the same. "The coaching pays for itself. "Why? Because one transaction will cover the cost of coaching many times over.

So if money is not the real reason, then why do people resist something that would help them?

In my 10 years of coaching, plus my 20 years before that of being a psychologist, I have noticed that the real reasons people resist coaching are issues that they are unaware of. Here's what I have discovered:

• Most people have a hidden belief that goes like this, "I have to do it alone." The idea of having someone help them does not fit in with their mindset. They think it means that they are not as good as they should be. I always remind these people that even Tiger Woods has a coach. Why? Because he has blind spots and we all have blind spots.

• Many people unknowingly have a block about "receiving." Have you noticed that some people cannot even receive a compliment? These same people pride themselves in being givers. There's nothing wrong with being a giver, but unless you can also receive, you are not in balance. Stephen Covey advises us, "Make sure that every interaction is a win/win." In other words, you should be giving and receiving and being open to receiving guidance.

If your business is growing steadily, year after year, you probably don"t need a business Coach, unless you feel unbalanced between your personal and professional life.

On the other hand, if you've been struggling with getting more clients, getting more listings, and having a balanced lifestyle, then i's time to let go of the belief that you can do it alone. It's time to receive help from a coach or a mentor.

Be sure that whoever you choose, has plenty of experience, and specializes in the particular issues that are currently a challenge for you.
