A phrase I heard very early in my business life is this,
“Walk towards the barking dog” …
I’m not entirely sure where I heard it first, and in truth, I didn’t actually understand it at the time,
But now, I think it’s some of the best business advice I’ve ever had…
Here’s what it means…
Most people will choose to cross the road, or walk a different path to avoid the barking dog…
There are no real consequences if this happens in real life, but in business, it can be very costly…
In your Recruitment or Search Business right now, you’ll have things that need doing, decisions you need to make, actions you need to follow through on, that are scary, uncomfortable, difficult, things you’d rather avoid, things you’d rather delay on…
Kind of like that big bad barking dog…
It could be the decision to manage out an underperforming team member who you feel emotionally connected to,
It could be managing out a bad client,
It could be increasing your fees,
It could be investing in a particular area of your business,
It could be a difficult conversation with your business partners,
It could be asking for help,
Anything you’re trying to avoid right now that deep down you know will eventually need to be done…
But you’re avoiding it because you’re scared of what might happen…
Big bad barking dogs feed on fear….
They sense it…
They smell it from a mile away…
And it makes them stronger…
The truth is… once we dial up our courage and walk towards the barking dog, unafraid, confident, and secure, it will back down and retreat.
And often the big bad barking dog in your business is guarding the path to your future business profits…
Walk towards the barking dog!
And if you want a proven plan for attracting more of the right clients, who are happy to pay your fee, use you exclusively and refer you like crazy… click the link below and book a ‘Make More Placements’ strategy session…
Yes, Terry! I want to make more placements…
We’ll set aside 15-minutes or so to go over all your current business performance and help you improve your results. It’s a pretty simple process. You tell us what you’re hoping to accomplish, we take a look at what you’re doing, find out the best ways to make everything work better, and then share our ideas with you.
And we do it for free…
Here’s why… Some (but not all) of the Recruitment and Search Business Owners we do this for end up asking us to help them put the ideas we share into practice…
So our hope is that we help you so much that you ask us about becoming a client.
Pretty straightforward.
But – just to be clear – this really is a complete audit of your current business and an in-depth consultation on how to make it better.
But just so you know… The price to join any one of my programs is increasing at the end of this year… So you’ll need to book your ‘Make More Placements’ strategy session by 20th December if you want to lock it in at it’s current rate –
