- We’ve made mistakes along the way... >
We’ve made mistakes along the way. I guess one of the biggest was in recruitment. I’d been really lucky that those two staff came with me, and also lucky in the third person we got. I thought, this is easy. All I have to do is explain what we do, and our passion will simply be regenerated in our employees. I quickly discovered that that’s not always the case. People have different wants and needs. You can’t just be passionate about something and expect everyone else to be the same. I didn’t take the time to understand what people wanted out of a particular job they were going in to. I have to ask myself, how can I meet those needs?
But mistakes are what you learn from; they’re how you build a business. You’ve got to make mistakes to approve what you do in the future.
