Terry Edwards of Drew Coaching has written a really nice little eBook entitled "7 Reasons Why Most Small Independent Recruitment Businesses Fail And What To Do About It".
Some research they did showed that only 1.5% of recruitment business owners have been taught how to run a recruitment business. I'm not sure what the "national average" amongst business owners in other sectors is but nevertheless that means 98.5% of recruitment business owners have never been taught how to run a successful business.
So the eBook looks at 7 key areas in which recruitment business owners go wrong and tells you how to succeed instead of fail.
I have to say (as with most of these things) it's lots of common sense. However, I would strongly recommend you take the time to read it. Yes, we all know you should set goals (chapter one) but as Terry points out "despite all the information available about this subject, I’ve found over the years that in fact most recruitment business owners have not set goals for their business".
So pop over to his site, download the book and READ IT!
