I learn teaching from teachers. I learn golf from golfers. I learn winning from coaches. – Harvey Penick.

Leaders aren’t born, they are made. They are made just like anything else, through hard work. That’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal. – Vince Lombardi

Happy Monday! I hope you made the weekend count!

It is late Sunday night and I am sitting in a hotel room in Dallas. I came to Dallas for a seminar with a couple hundred of the top real estate agents in the country that coach with the same guys I do.  That’s right coaches.  Yeah, I know I am not a professional athlete, so why do I need a coach?  The answer is simple,  I realized early in my career you don’t know what you don’t know and coaches and mentors are a critical component of success.

When I decided to get serious about my business a few years ago, the first thing I did was hire a coach. I hired the best in the country I could afford. It was one of the absolute best decisions I have made (besides marrying my wife!).  I don’t think I am overstating the facts when I say coaches have changed the outcome of my life.
