I ended up watching one of the old Batman movies with my two youngest sons over the weekend…
“Batman Begins”
As strange as it may sound, I’m pretty much able to extract business lessons from almost anything (they’re always there if you look close enough) …
And I found myself learning from one of the villains in the movie…
The Scarecrow!
Scarecrow’s only weapon is a magic dust that creates graphic visions of each person’s worst and most horrific fears…
Sprayed into the eyes of any individual it instantly triggers that individuals worst secret nightmares…
All of a sudden their ‘world’ is filled with monsters and demons they will do anything to escape from, including killing others or themselves…
When you think about it… The Scarecrow has no ‘real’ power… His only power comes in the fear he can create in the minds of others…
But fear can be very powerful thing….
It can grab you with both hands and control you without you even realising it…
For many people… It stops them from starting a business in the first place…
But even for the Recruitment and Search Firm owners who have conquered that particular demon… fear still lurks within their businesses in different forms…
It stops them from charging the prices they truly deserve for fear of repelling potential clients…
It forces them to work with clients they don’t really like, who don’t value their services and who constantly make life difficult because they’re ‘scared’ that they won’t be able to find another client to replace them…
It stops them from thinking outside the box because they’re scared of being criticised by their peers and colleges…
It stops them from stepping outside their comfort zone because they fear failure or being laughed at…
It’s everywhere!
Slowly killing your chances of success…
Fear weakens and eventually destroys from the inside, and a lot of the time people don’t even realise it’s happening…
So… Is fear holding your Recruitment or Search Business back?
Are you scared of increasing your prices?
Are you reluctant to walk away from business?
Are you scared to let go of underperforming team members?
Are you scared to scale quickly?
Are you scared to put yourself out there and market your business?
If you’ve wanted to increase your business revenue and profits for some length of time, but you haven’t yet managed to do it as quickly as you like, I can pretty much guarantee fear is holding you back somewhere…
