When It Comes To Starting Your Own Recruitment Business, Consider This
Mark Twain quote
“The Secret Of Getting Ahead Is Getting Started”
A phrase that could have been written specifically for the recruitment professional thinking of starting up their own business. In fact it was coined by Mark Twain. But even though he didn’t have recruitment start ups in mind, what he said makes a lot of sense.
If you’re less than happy with what you’re doing right now, which is probably working as a consultant for a recruitment company, you’ve doubtless considered starting your own business. It’s not uncommon in the recruitment business. You’re running a busy desk, or managing a team, and no matter how often you hit the targets, and make the numbers, the rewards never seem to grow. What’s more, given your experience you’ve probably formed your own ideas on how to run a business. Deliver a better service; do things sharper.
The problem is – getting started. It may not be growing quickly but that salary is regular. As regular as your mortgage and bills. Leaving it behind is scary enough but, and you know this because you’ve thought it through, there are a lot of costs involved in starting up. Premises, equipment, phone lines, a car – all the things you need to operate. And that’s without the software and systems you need to deliver that new level of service you see as your point of difference.
So, you need a bank loan, or help from a finance company, and you’ve worked out that that’s expensive, and somehow all the grand plans start to slide away, and suddenly you’re back doing what you always do.
But, as the man said, “The secret of getting ahead is getting started”. And there is a way.

That thing about “The secret of getting ahead is getting started” isn’t the full quote.
What Mark Twain went on to say was this
“The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and starting on the first one.”
