The ceiling moves. So should the person coaching you.
Going independent can give you freedom, flexibility and the chance to build your own business.
But buying your own brand does not automatically buy you a coach.
And without someone experienced enough to challenge your thinking, businesses can stall at the level that once felt like success.
At each stage, the coaching requirement changes:
đ Doing the work: building relationships, winning instructions and delivering for clients.
đ Leading the work: creating standards, developing others and making better decisions.
đ Owning the business: building systems, protecting your time and thinking beyond yourself.
The coaching that helped you reach one level may not be the coaching that takes you to the next.
That is why honest external challenge matters more as you become more senior.
I have 21 years in estate agency, coaching and leadership, and I lead the Orion constellation at iad UK: one of the UK's fastest growing personal estate agency models.
Whether you are building in Scotland or across Northern England, from Newcastle and Middlesbrough to Leeds and Carlisle, the right network can change the quality of your decisions.
Your network REALLY is your NET worth.
At iad UK, an agent who introduces someone to iad retains 7% of the commission generated by that mentee.
If you are an experienced business owner, an established agent or considering a career in estate agency, start with an informed, no-obligation conversation:
