Ep 300 - Your Energy Is Limited

About this episode

Brett discusses the importance of managing limited time and energy in recruitment and shares a real story about a challenging deal.

You don’t have unlimited time and energy… so where you spend it will either make you money or quietly cost you. In today’s ep, I dive into a real story. A signed candidate, a pulled offer, a scramble to recover, and then a fee dispute that could’ve gone all the way to court. The question we had to ask was simple. Is this worth our time and energy? Because every day, whether you realise it or not, you’re making that call. What you focus on. What you chase. What you let go. Tune in for: 👉 A breakdown of a messy deal and what happened next 👉 Why not every battle is worth winning 👉 The hidden cost of where you put your time and energy 👉 How top recruiters prioritise what actually moves the needle 👉 A simple way to reset your daily focus for better results If you’re feeling busy but not productive, this one’s a must.
