Thinking Of Starting Your Own Recruitment Business? You’re Almost A Quarter Of The Way There!
Am I? How do you calculate that?
Well, if you were thinking of starting your business this year, come the end of March, that’s this month, you’re a quarter of the way through the year.
You’re right. It’s end of quarter one!
Yes, it’s in perspective for you now isn’t it? Because let’s face it, even if you put aside your dreams for a moment, you’ve suddenly realised that you need to be making sure you’re on track for hitting the target for ‘end of quarter one’.
That’s the truth!
You’re used to it though, aren’t you? You usually do hit the numbers. You deliver.
I do! And that’s what started me thinking about starting up on my own.
We’ve come across similar views before. Many times actually. You’re running a desk, got people reporting to you, and you’ve built not only a track record but a reputation, especially in one or more sectors. And still, you’re chasing somebody else’s targets. So why not put all that effort into something that will give you better rewards, personal satisfaction and the chance to plan your own future.
A bit spooky! Have you been listening in on my ‘phone, or are you mind readers?
Neither. But we’re very experienced in helping people start up their own recruitment businesses, and we know just how strong that entrepreneurial spirit is out there among recruitment professionals.
Ok. I see where you’re coming from. But this – and ok it’s quite clever – ‘quarter of the way there’ thing. That’s not quite true, is it?
It could be. It depends on how much thinking and planning you’ve put in so far. Or was it just a New Year resolution ‘thing’. How’s is that gym membership going by the way?
Moving on. I have given this a lot of thought actually. Seems to me that even if I’ve got a quarter of the way there, that remaining three-quarters is a lot of stuff to get sorted.
Indeed! Let’s look at this way. You’ve gained the experience, got the knowledge and you’ve worked out that running your own show is something you really want to do. That self-starter entrepreneur within you has kicked in. We’ll say that’s about a quarter of the way to starting.
See my point?
Wait. Let’s say the other three-quarters is made up of finding financial backing, getting your branding and website sorted, finding premises, arranging for all the necessary furniture and hardware – and then organising software and systems. You can’t operate without the right systems being in place from day one.
Exactly. That’s the one heck of a 25% and 75% split, would you not agree?
We do.
And there’s another thing. That list – and frankly it’s scary – is not complete is it?
How so?
It doesn’t include the need for a regular income for me from the start. I need to maintain my lifestyle, meet my commitments.. my mortgage, bills…so I can get on with running, and grow, my new business.
You are so right. Is that what’s been holding you back?
Possibly…….

Really?
Yes…
So what you’re saying is that even if a quarter of the year has gone, there’s no time like the present.
Couldn’t have put it better ourselves. You’ll need to sort those first quarter figures of course, but meantime, email us at info@recruitventures.com or fill in our form.
