In this episode I dive into one of my favorite topics—time management—and how to invest your time wisely, whether you're a recruiter or a "recruiterpreneur" building your own business. We’ve all got a lot on our plates, so today I’m sharing some practical strategies I use to stay on top of it all. You’ll learn about the key difference between spending time and investing it, and how tools like delegation, deletion, and action can make a real impact in both your professional and personal life.

I’ll also share a story about how a recent event with my son reminded me of the importance of managing time well, and how even the busiest people make it all work. If you’re feeling like there aren’t enough hours in the day, this episode will give you actionable steps to identify what’s worth your time, what’s holding you back, and how to focus on what truly matters. Let’s make the most of every minute!

Welcome to the second episode of All Things Recruiting! In today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic that I know a lot of you are thinking about—starting your own recruiting business. I’ve been there myself, and I remember how overwhelming it can feel. So today, I’m going to share three key questions that you have to ask yourself before you make the leap.

I’ll talk about my own journey—how my “why” was the driving force that kept me going, even when things got tough. We’ll cover the different business models you can choose from and why it’s so important to get clear on your vision before you jump in. And of course, we’ll talk about the financial side of things—how to plan and budget so you can avoid unnecessary stress.

If you’ve been in recruiting for a few years and are wondering if now’s the time to go out on your own, this episode is for you. I’m excited to share what I’ve learned and help you start building the recruiting business you’ve always dreamed of!
