What was I thinking not hiring a coach sooner?

For regular listeners, you know I’m a big fan of self development, learning, reading, and one of my favourite hacks is having coaches.

I have Crossfit coaches, a Realtor coach, two Stock Hacking coaches, a new real estate investing coach and a pretty new golf coach.

My golf coach’s name is Chris and he’s a lot better than I at golf.  He’s an associate golf pro at a pretty nice public golf course in Oakville, Ontario. He’s a tall, thin, 150 pound scratch golfer and drives the ball 300 yards.  Scratch golf means he’s in the top 1.6% of golfers who report their scores.

Warm sunny day for golf!! Great times with great friends. Made some great shots, hit a couple trees on the same hole 🤣. . Game is improving thanks largely to getting coaching. Can’t wait to keep grinding 🏌️

As with anything in life, business, health, investing, I view it all as an experiment. 

When the pandemic hit, the first thing we were allowed to do was golf so I took up the sport.  2020 is the first year I’ve played more than twice in a season so I think that qualifies me as a beginner.

This past Friday I had just my fourth golf lesson with Chris and finally made some massive improvements, the most improvement I’ve made all season.

Right after my lesson, we played nine holes and I proceeded to have my best 9 holes of the season highlighted by landing my ball 12 feet from the hole on a 193 par 3 with my 5 iron. That’s about 30 yards farther than I normally hit my 5 iron and I made the putt for my first birdie of the season. 

The next day, I was golfing with Cherry and ten other friends and I had one of my better rounds of the season include 3 pars and a birdie on the front 9.

What is the point of all this?

After the round was over I couldn’t help but kick myself how if I could do it all again, I would have invested more heavily into coaching near the beginning of the season as much of the practice I did this season was kinda wasted.

This was yet another experiment that proved to me the value of coaching. 

Practice and youtube and reading articles online as much as I did… those tens of hours did not compare to the 4 hours of coaching I’ve received. 

Going forward I will be taking weekly lessons as it is one of my Stock Hacking goals to afford me a nice golf membership.

In my experience, I pay tens of thousands each year for coaching and the investment has returned. 

My question to the listener is where can you fast track your success by hiring a coach? I’ve wasted a lot of time in all areas by not having a coach.

Please don’t make the same mistakes I did.

This week’s guest, 26-year-old Joe Costanza was smart and worked with Coach Tammy Ditomaso from my IWIN Real Estate team to begin his real estate journey.

Age 26, Making $300,000 in 20 Months On Cash Flowing Duplexes and 70 Hour Weeks With Joe Costanza

I first met Joe Costanza 20 months ago when he was a starry-eyed 24-year-old who had been hustling since a teenager, working several jobs, living at home to save up down payments for real estate. 

An architect by trade and having tried several side hustles less than successfully, Joe settled on real estate without much support from his parents.

Fast forward to today, Joe owns three properties, two he’s already duplexed and the third to be duplexed house with a joint venture partner. 

This is Joe’s story.  For those who like numbers, we’re pretty heavy with the numbers in this episode so have your pens ready.

I give you Joe Costanza.
