“Most people go through life making decisions by default, choosing only from narrow options dictated by others or by evolving circumstances….

These two men saved my business
A few years back, my business was struggling…. I wasn’t generating as much money as I wanted, I was working long hours with little reward, I had a serious lack of clients… and the few clients that I did have treated me like shit and didn’t appreciate what I do… In truth, I very nearly…
Why One night stands are bad for business
I enjoy talking about sex as much as the next guy. I enjoy having it even more. But the ‘one night stands’ I’m talking about have nothing to do with getting your leg over, I’m really talking about a certain type of client. We’ve all had them at one point or another I’m sure. And…

The truth about my ugly mate
Not long ago I wrote an email about “How my ugly mate got laid”. I was basically telling the story about how in my group of friends while growing up. One of my mates had better luck with the ladies than the rest of us (even though he wasn’t particularly good looking). I put it…
You can do better
I speak to a lot of Recruitment and Search Firm Owners almost daily. From various sectors and achieving various levels of success. But something they all have in common is….

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.

A question you need to answer first
Recruitment and Search Firm Owners often come to me with questions relating to “HOW” they attract new clients into their business.

Just close your eyes, hold your breath and swallow
When I was growing up, I remember my mum forcing me to take spoonfuls of cod-liver oil, And this was before the “easy to swallow” tablets they’ve made recently. It was back when you had no choice but to take the oil straight from the bottle. I hated the stuff! Just the thought of that…

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…
This might make you sad
You might find this disheartening to hear, But most Recruitment and Search Firm Owners will NEVER create the business the set out to build. And in fact, will end up with nothing more than a ‘job’ (but with all the other extra headaches that come with running a business.) They’ll spend most of their days…
