Coco pops or toast?
So my youngest son, Myles (8 years old), was at the kitchen table making his breakfast, Nothing too complicated. Just your classic bowl of coco pops with some milk.

Double Whammy
Over the years, I’ve spoken to countless Recruitment and Search Business Owners thinking about increasing their fees… Thinking about recruiting at a higher level… Thinking about doing something….

More urgency required
I had an interesting conversation with Drew about behaviour earlier today… You see… We often meet and speak to recruitment and Search business owners who say they want to grow their business, say they want more clients, say they want higher fees… But their behaviour says otherwise… We’re all the same, even me… Most…
Best known > Best service
One of the things I’ve noticed about a lot of Recruitment and Search Business Owners is that they’re not afraid to talk about how good they are… They’ll plaster how much experience they’ve had in the industry all over their website… They scream and shout about the results they’re able to get for candidates…

It’s already set up to fail
I saw a quote on Facebook a while back that read; “If your business relies on a random encounter or a sudden big break rather than consistent hard work, it’s already set up to fail.” … it’s something I agree with, at least partly… I’ve said before that leaving the growth of your Recruitment or…
Almost every time I go, he’s there!
I got talking to a guy in the gym yesterday… I don’t know his name, but I feel like we’ve known each other for ages… I go to the gym most mornings… Usually around 5 or 6 times per week… It’s just part of my routine… And me and this guy must be on the…
