Fighting clients off with a stick

I was speaking to my business mentor and friend Jon McColloch on Tuesday, and doing so reminded me of a story he shared a while back. He’s happily married now, but when he was young, from 14 to late 20s, he found it almost impossible to get a girlfriend. And… The more desperately he wanted…

What Bruce Lee can teach Recruiters

Bruce Lee was once quoted as saying: “I fear not the man who has practised 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practised one kick 10,000 times.” He was making the point that mastering one skill to near perfection, almost always trumps mastering 10,000 skills to a mediocre level.

Glass Ceiling

ALMOST every Recruitment or Search Business owner will reach a point in their business where growth starts to stagnate or even stop completely… And most of the time, it has nothing to do with skill or what market they operate in! Think about it, No matter how big your market it is, you only have…
