Something I’ve often recited to my clients, and one I try to live with myself is this:
“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.”
It’s something Bruce Lee was once quoted as saying…
I have no idea whether he actually said it or not… I didn’t hear him myself and the internet has a habit of making things like this up…
But in either case… It’s something that resonates with me and I agree with it 100%
He was making the point that mastering 1 skill to near perfection, almost always trumps mastering 10,000 skills to a mediocre level…
I don’t necessarily believe this to be the case in all circumstances… But when it comes to running a Recruitment or Search business, it rings true almost every time…
On a personal level, I notice a significant difference in my performance when I’m trying to focus on too many projects at once, rather than putting all my time and attention into one…
I might not notice at the time…
But the results I achieve (or don’t achieve) will soon reveal the truth…
I always get far better results when I focus on fewer things and put all my time and energy into mastering those few…
And in my experience, most people are the same…
It’s a mistake I see Recruitment and Search Firm Owners make time and time again…
They come into the industry with all these big ideas about what they want to achieve and how…
But they lack focus, and so get sucked into activities that are quite frankly below their pay grade…
They spread themselves too thin and end up falling well below their potential.
If you want to get results in your business, it’s vital you choose the right areas to focus on and master… And either drop, delegate or automate everything else.
