As a former professional polo player, I know what it’s like to be a woman in a man’s world. I had to be twice as good! The payoff? I did it and well! Now, I’m using those same skills I learned to succeed in the polo world, as a top producer in real estate (11 years now). I still play, but just to train young horses for fun.
Women need encouragement. If coaching works, do it! I know that a coach for my polo team always helped. I know that my Broker (my coach) also helps in Real Estate. Why not? We all need some championing!!
