It helps in building necessary skills, navigating challenges, and achieving business goals.  The guests emphasize that the real estate industry is becoming more challenging, and having a coach can provide the necessary edge to succeed.   Personal Experiences:  Marianne shares her own journey of hiring multiple coaches to achieve her Ironman World Championship, underscoring the power of having expert guidance.  David highlights the importance of continuous learning and being accountable, not just to a coach but also to oneself.   Final Thoughts  Both guests stress the importance of finding a coach who is passionate, experienced, and truly invested in the client's success.
