On today’s show, how failed actor Andrew Banks came to starting two of the

world’s largest recruitment companies, then found his way back to the small screen

as one of the original sharks on the hit series Shark Tank .

Andrew Banks started two of Australia's largest companies in the recruitment and

HR industry. He took recruitment company Morgan & Banks just shy of one billion

dollars in sales, and Talent 2, a business-process outsourcing business which he

grew to four hundred million dollars in sales.

These days Andrew is the Resident Entrepreneur at Sydney’s Tank Stream Labs ,

part of the largest start-up hub in Australia, plus he’s an active investor in over

twenty start-ups including a non-alcoholic range of spirits, and an online learning

tool for kids.

There’s a lot to love about Andrew Banks. His heart-felt passion for helping

business owners (just like you) succeed across all aspects of your business quickly

becomes evident during this very generous chat, as he shares his tips and insights

on how to build an empire, to creating a culture that attracts and retains great

people, to growth hacks that you can implement immediately, as well as his

thoughts on the (often difficult to attain) work / life balance.

“Money is not the goal of a good business. Money is the outcome. Don’t go into

business just to make money, because that’s just not good enough. You’ve got to

have a good purpose, a good business model, satisfy needs ... and the money will

come.” - Andrew Banks
