MARS: Why small companies find it hard so hard to change

The Mike Ames Recruitment Show

Whether you want to change to scale up, become more profitable, win more new clients or attract better employees there are four obstacles you ALWAYS have to overcome.

We see it all the time. The owner of a recruitment company is keen to develop their firm but it just doesn’t happen.

Or it does for a bit, then it peters out and they go back to solely working “in” their business.

If you only overcome 3 out of these four obstacles your chances of success are still very remote.

Beat them all and it’s harder to fail than succeed.

So here they are: -

1. Focus: no clear idea of what you want the business to look like and no plan to achieve it
2. Knowledge: lacking the detailed know-how of what to change and how to change it
3. Time: lack the time to work “on” your business to make the necessary changes
4. Discipline: little or no accountability so discipline wains over time

We explore these in detail and how you can beat them all.

Having a change framework means you’ll build a “habit of change” so the results you want will eventually come.

Remember, the more you work “on” your business today, the less you need to work “in” your business tomorrow.
