There are 2 categories which most of us fit into, let's call them the ‘show me the money group' and the ‘Go the extra mile' group. Which group do you fit into and which one is best suited to become a recruitment entrepreneur  

The ‘show me the money' group are normally the employed recruitment consultant that can't live with the thought of not having a steady salary and commission paid into their accounts every month. (don't we all?), And  the go the extra mile type are the recruiters that have ultimate confidence in the service they offer after years  proving the fact by producing large amounts of profits for their employer with only a fraction of the profits paid in return.

There are arguments for both types however If you fall into the ‘extra mile' group it's time to start building blocks towards your empire!

The first stage is to understand a few very important points. Many business fail quick due to money being drawn for wages. Forgoing earnings is essential; to go without income for probably 3- 6 months is where you need to be thinking before you start receiving enough profit from your clients to live

 in order to give yourself the best possible chance to succeed you also need a well drawn out comprehensive business plan and game plan, this will get the support you need from back office type services and any financial companies that may be required for funding.

After going through the personal route of forgoing wages for many months and seeing a few companies come and go, I have seen firsthand that by following a well drafted business plan it enables you to look long term rather than here today gone tomorrow.

If you can /want to commit years rather than months to your recruitment project then read on.

For any budding recruitment entrepreneur out there the message is quite simply this , Are you the perfect employee FOR YOU. What do I mean by that, well quite simply are you prepared to supply and prove what's special about you and your brand before trying to expect serious financial returns for your efforts. I must quote Napoleon Hill at this point that ‘The most successful people in any business follow the habit of rendering more service than that for which they are paid'.

The major difference between a recruitment entrepreneur and an employed consultant is the risks they are prepared to take to prove to themselves what they say on a regular basis that ‘I Can do better'. I'm not talking about sacrificing all of your possessions, (that would be silly) but making serious calculated sacrifices is the difference between successfully running your own business or remaining an employee.

If you have the conscious desire backed up by absolute faith, it then becomes part of your subconscious thoughts and once this happens there in no known record of this kind of desire having ever been without fulfilment.

There is more support for recruitment entrepreneurs than ever before, with back office services now tried and tested and most will help with business plans which  requires time and detailed thought and they will also assist with banking set up.  And with online advertising resources now available from state of the art sites such as recruitersite which offers tools only available to recruitment consultants (You can quote me on this) ‘There has never been a better time to start a recruitment business or become an independent recruiter'
