Surprisingly…. It’s not lack of knowledge, lack of resources or even lack of money that’s holding a lot of Recruitment and Search Firm owners back…

Sure, a lot of people do have those challenges…

But more often that not, the biggest thing holding people back is fear!

… Fear of getting it wrong!

…Fear of looking stupid in front of your friends, colleagues and family members!

And Fear of failing!

Fear can of course be useful in some situations… stops most of us doing stupid things like jumping out of a moving vehicle for a start!

But fear of failure can be the very thing that’s stops you reaching your full potential… In life and in business….

You see, the fear of failure can be so strong that it stops us even trying to achieve what we really want to achieve… And so instead, we end up doing nothing and stay as we are…

The good news is though... It’s a relatively simple problem to solve!

… All it takes is a shift in mind-set!

Failure can be VERY good for business…

Now I’m not saying failure is the goal… Of course it’s not!

Success is the goal, but in order to achieve success failure is almost inevitable…

In this weeks episode of the 'Renegade Recruiter Unleashed' podcast we interview Kelly Braendli and we talk about the importance of facing your fears head on. For show notes, podcast updates and additional resources go to: http://therenegaderecruiter.com/

Speak to you soon,

Until then...

Take care, take action and be relentless...

When working with Recruitment or Search Firm owners one on one or even when looking for people to join one of my group coaching programs one things I’m very wary of is ‘desperation’…

We all show signs of it in times of need… And although I would love to help as many people as possible… Experience tells me that when someone is desperate and on his or her last leg they’re almost impossible to help…

They just don’t seem to see things clearly…

I’ve been there myself a few times… Stuck with what seems like an almost impossible problem to overcome and you feel like you’re clinging on for dear life…

Thing is… When you’re desperate, you panic…

When you panic, you make the wrong decisions…

And when you make the wrong decisions, you miss things that would otherwise be obvious and you end up in an even deeper mess…

Put it this way…

Who do you think see’s the game more clearly, the spectator or the player that’s desperate to win?

The spectator of course…

It’s easy to spot the mistakes someone else is making or going to make from the outside looking in… But when you’re actually living the problem you can’t see the wood through the trees!

In this weeks episode of the 'Renegade Recruiter Unleashed' podcast we look at "Why Your Desperation Is Killing Your Recruitment or Search Business Profits" and what to do to about it.

In this weeks episode of the 'Renegade Recruiter Unleashed' podcast I'll be interviewing an old Friend on mine, John O'Sullivan...

Me and John actually worked for the same Recruitment company (Computer People) many years ago, when we were both very young...

He's an entrepreneur with a leadership background in staffing and recruitment. Having worked as a director for several of the top global staffing companies, he founded Best International Group which he took to £130million turnover in 18 months...

He went on to sell that company to 'Spring Group' in 2003 and is now Non Executive Director and strategic adviser to several carefully selected companies in the recruitment sector...

This an interview I recorded several years back so apologies for the poor sound quality at parts. Technology wasn't as reliable as it is today back then...

Either way, it's worth a listen.... John is a very smart guy and knows his stuff!

Sep 10, 2015

In this weeks episode of the 'Renegade Recruiter Unleashed' podcast. Craig Watson gives his views on the industry...

In Craigs words...

" I ‘fell’ into recruitment in 1994, when I was in the UK (gap year as a backpacking teacher, but that’s another story…). Years in recruitment roughly equates to equivalent dog years, so I am a veteran – whether I like it or not.  Over the journey I have recruited & managed across various sectors, and three continents – Australia, Europe and Asia.  Most of my professional networks include Recruitment Consultants, Managers and Owners, so it made perfect sense to take the leap of faith firstly into Rec2Rec – and now as a Consultant and Trainer to the industry… and I love it!"

In this weeks episode of the 'Renegade Recruiter Unleashed' Podcast we look at the worst number in your Recruitment Business...

 

A while, one of my clients contacted me in some distress... 

 

You see… he had just lost his biggest client... And with it, a VERY large chunk of his projected profits for the year...Ouch! 

 

Losing a client like that can be a big hit!.. 

 

And one that I've seen even some of the more established Recruitment and Search Business Owners struggle to get up from. 

 

But as always, there is a very important lesson to learn here.... 

 

It's a lesson I had to re-learn for myself more than once... Quite recently in fact!

 

... But sometimes business life throws these things up again and again, and you have to re-learn it! 

 

The thing is... No matter how good you are at what you do... You will lose clients from time to time... And it's outside of your control, so there's often not much you can do about it... 

 

The only solution is to protect yourself so when it does happen, it's not such a big hit...     

 

The worst number in your business is ONE! That’s one key member of staff, one route to market, or in this case one key client… 

 

Any time you see the number one in your business, you are at risk! 

 

I would consider myself an optimistic person, but despite that, in business, you have to be wary of what might happen. There are always going to be risks in business, they’re unavoidable. But the smart Recruitment and Search Business owners protect themselves against them! 

 

The worst number in your business is one! Eliminate it wherever you can… 

 

Speak to you soon, 

 

Until then… Take care, take action and be relentless… 

 

Terry Edwards

I shared this with you before not long ago...

But one of the most powerful things I ever learned came from the late, great Earl Nightingale. 

He said:

"If you’re in a situation and you don’t have any clear way forward and want for clear advice, look around and see what everyone else is doing and do the opposite"

We often paraphrase this as "the majority is always wrong"...

And I've found this to be 100% true, especially in this industry....

Think about this... If you do what the average Recruitment or Search Business Owner does....

If you market your business in the same way....

If you price your services based on the way the rest of the industry price their services...

If you're going after the same sort of clients....

If you offer your services in the same way....

You're going to end up with average results...

And the average Recruitment and Search Business owners spend the whole of their business life struggling for clients...

Is that what you want?

If not, you should check out this weeks podcast.... 

It's all about how and why you should be violating the industry norms if you want to achieve anything other than mediocre results....
