Muhammad Ali once said,
I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit!’  Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.
I have met very few high-performing recruiters and hiring managers who…
Loved picking up the phone and making uncomfortable calls.
Loved getting rejected by a recruiting prospect who’s marginally successful.
Loved being stood-up on a recruiting appointment.
Loved initiating a meaningful recruiting dialog and later getting ghosted.
Loved setting and protecting a recruiting time block in their schedule.
Loved doing the tedious work of updating their recruiting database and building a prospect list.
Loved doing all the other proactive tasks that lead to recruiting success.
Instead, high performers focus on the long-term results and personal wins they seek.
This could be increasing your personal income, defeating a competitor, experiencing the accomplishment of growing a successful office, or seeing the light in an agent’s eyes whom you’ve helped reach remarkable success.
Everyone wants to be a champion, but few are willing to make the sacrifices to become one.
Are you up for the challenge?
