In the words of Walt Disney, it’s time to quit talking about what if… and begin doing … Start-Up
“The Way To Get Started Is To Quit Talking And Begin Doing.”
Walt Disney, Co-Founder Of The Walt Disney Company.
And never a truer word was spoken when it comes to starting up your own recruitment business. You probably talk a lot to your colleagues, and family, about how one day you’ll start up on your own. How, as an experienced recruitment consultant, you’re running a busy desk or team, and piling in the hours, and results, all for someone else.
You’re not only beginning to wonder if that’s worth it, but you’ve also got ideas of your own. Ideas about how to deliver a better service, a service that’s got your style stamped on it.
The problem of course is that you’re still drawing that regular salary, and taking the leap into running your own show is, when it comes down to it, quite daunting.
Of course it is. You’ll need financial backing. You’ll have to have systems, and support. You’ll need all of that from people who will at the same time allow you to do it your way.
IT and systems aside you’ll need to be hard wired into a business relationship that continues to provide the support you’ll need to grow. Not being tied down by an over zealous investor is one thing; but having to find your own accountancy, legal, branding and development advice is going to take a lot of your time if you’re left on your own. They’re all things that will take you away from what you set out to do – which is run your business, find new clients, and grow.
In the words of Walt then, ‘quit talking’ – at least to your family and colleagues about what you’d like to do – and start talking, to me.
