Business
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 Support the show.
