Crossing the finish line with a successful business is not a one-person race; it's a team relay. When I decided to take control of my future and start a business, I realized the journey was filled with hurdles. There were moments when I questioned my decision, but then I found Goodwin Recruiting. This was my game-changing handoff in the relay. Goodwin not only handed me the baton, they trained me, coached me, and ran beside me. My #mentors provided the resources, support, and tools necessary to navigate through the complex course of business ownership. Starting any business is daunting, but with Goodwin, I was never alone. With a 25-year proven track record in the recruiting world reaffirmed that I was heading in the right direction. Today, I am proud to have crossed the finish line with a successful, thriving recruiting business. To all future business owners out there, remember: It's a team relay, not a solo race.
