There's a famous quote by Henry Ford: "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." This quote resonates with so many people eager to start their own recruitment agency yet hoping it will somehow materialise without taking any positive action to make their dream a reality… Often, the biggest roadblock isn't wanting to be their own boss… …but the discomfort of old beliefs about how difficult it potentially is to start a business... The stage you're at now reflects the decisions and actions you've taken so far… But if your actions stay the same, your results will too... Consider the example of going to the gym… When you first lift weights, you may feel discomfort and strain, but over time, your muscles grow, and the weight becomes manageable—even easy... Eventually, though, if you don't increase the weight or vary your exercises, you stop growing; your muscles simply maintain their size... Your desire to start a business is the same... Sticking with familiar routines won't lead to growth—only to maintaining where you're at... And there's nothing wrong with that—if that's what you truly want... Maybe you've picked a name for your recruitment agency... Registered the company... Even, found a business partner who's equally enthusiastic... But if your goal is to have a business that makes you money, it takes more than words... It requires real action that moves the dial… You might need to increase the "weight" of your efforts or even switch up your approach entirely... Many aspiring entrepreneurs get stuck here... They love the planning and envisioning stage but hesitate to take the next concrete step... Ironically, the very strategies and beliefs that have brought them thus far starts to hold them back... "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." In the coming weeks, where do you want to take your dream of starting a home-based, money-generating recruitment agency? What specific actions will help you break through to the next level? I'll leave you to ponder that thought. |
