I remember the day I was fired from my job as though yesterday.

Some years ago, I was recruited by, let's say, a well-known high street recruitment agency whose sales were seriously declining when I joined.

Anyway, within three years, I had helped turn the business around, and they were raking a ton of money. 

You see, I was able to win several large temporary contracts.

And set up a business development programme for the ten branches I was director for, and within no time at all, I had put the branches I was in charge of on an even keel, and they were now making a real good income.

To cut a long story short, one Sunday, the company's owner invited me to his house to meet his family for a meal. 

The reason for this was to personally thank me for putting his business back into profit. 

Who does that in this day and age? 

I was somewhat taken aback, but it was a nice gesture.

On the Monday morning the following day, he invited me to head office, which was rather unusual.

We talked for a bit. I thanked him again, and then he said Joe, I have some good news and some bad news; which would you like first.

I said the good news. 

He said the good news is that I have sold the company, I said great, well done. 

We kept talking for a bit, but you know when you think there is something not quite right with this picture. 

So I said so what's the bad news then. He said Oh, oh yes, I almost forgot, the bad news is you are no longer working for the company.

So in my 'igorance', I chuckled, 'no longer working with the company really…

…but he was deadly serious, I was so shocked you could have knocked me over with a feather. 

I found out a few weeks later that they had to take my salary out of the equation to make the company look more profitable. 

Even though I was the one responsible for turning the business around, of course, the buyers were not aware this was the case.

At this point, he could see I was getting someone agitated. 

The truth of the matter was to say I was a little peeved, which was an understatement.

He then went on to say Joe, what's the problem it won't take you long to find a job…

And you shouldn't take it so personally it is just….. business.

Now I must admit, at the time I felt used, abused, confused and a little embarrassed by the whole episode.

I stood there with tears running down my face, a 40-year-old man trying not to cry, not a pretty site!

Unbeknownst to me, my reward for helping to turn this man's company around was a meal with his family.

And what's worse, I had spent three years of my life building his business…

…his machine to generate profits. 

…his company to sell at whim. 

…his pension fund. 

Despite my efforts, I was now surplus to requirements. 

I'd had to walk away, and everything I had built would be of no lasting benefit to me.

But you know, I thought never again, never again. 

In many respects, he was right. 

He employed me to do a job and paid me a good salary with bonuses.

I did the job. My contract stated he just had to give me a month's notice, which he did. 

Nevertheless, I worked extremely hard for that man's business, but do you what, he just couldn't care less. 

The lesson I learned from this experience is that it is foolish to rely on anyone to provide happiness in the form of financial security.

He did me a favour as I started my own recruitment business, which I later sold for a tidy sum and quickly started another recruitment business that I still manage today. 

However, in my previous role as a Recruitment Director I was responsible for setting up dozens of new specialist niche recruitment branches. 

And then it hit me, it was like a bolt out of the blue, one of those light bulb moments.

I realised that I could start a recruitment agency revolution, by giving ordinary people from all walks of life the opportunity to start their own home based recruitment agency and have a slice of this 31 billion industry.

Not only was it easy for me to help a complete newbie to set up their own recruitment agency.

But having people operate their agency from home would enable them to provide a far more cost-effective service and undercut high street recruitment agencies.

And with their high overheads it would be impossible for them to compete. 

And I would like to help you to get started today, here's how….
