How Ashley Woods Built a $10M Recruiting Desk While Traveling to 45 Countries: Vision, Systems, and the Digital Nomad Life

Hey Elite Recruiters!

Ready for a heavy dose of inspiration? Our latest episode features Ashley Woods—partner at Teama Solutions Group, founder of The Time Rich Recruiter, and the ultimate digital nomad. Ashley has not just built a $10 million recruiting desk… she’s done it while traveling to 45 (yes, forty-five!) countries. This is an episode you do NOT want to miss!

Highlights From the Episode 🚀

Vision + Systems = Freedom Ashley credits her success (and globe-trotting lifestyle) to building a clear vision and robust systems. Her advice? Get laser-focused on the “why” behind your journey. A strong vision will pull you through the distractions—whether that’s Bali beaches or the latest Netflix drop.

Streamlining with Systems Systems are about predictable outcomes and efficiency. Ashley recommends writing down every task you do for a few days, then ruthlessly outsourcing or automating everything that doesn’t need your unique touch. Her strategy: if it’s not critical, delegate!

Niche Down & Scale Up Early in her career, Ashley was everywhere—private, public, enterprise clients… you name it. The game changer? Focusing on a niche (government tech staffing in Canada), becoming an expert, and turning her knowledge into consistent value for her clients.

Outsourcing & Delegation Worried about losing control if you outsource BD or admin work? Ashley’s tip: don’t just plug-and-play—invest time to train and coach your team or outsourced partners so they “speak your language.”

Building a Team and Sustainable Wealth From hiring fellow “Tech Systems” alumni to focusing on intrinsic values, Ashley built a powerhouse team. She didn’t just chase revenue; she prioritized “time-rich” wealth—investing earnings with a financial advisor to set up early retirement (in just six years!).

Digital Nomad Logistics 🚀 Ashley dropped practical travel hacks for remote recruiters:

• Scope internet and backup connections before booking.

• Seek out co-living/coworking hubs for accountability and community.

• Remember: discipline and clear goals travel with you—don’t lose your KPIs because you changed location.

Ashley’s Top Takeaways for Recruiters:

• Write down your goals before you travel or make a big change.

• Outsource everything you can. (Ask, “Does this REALLY need ME?”)

• Never stop learning. Get a coach for business, health, and finance.

• Niche down and measure what moves the needle.

• Community matters. (And yes, your dog can be your digital nomad co-pilot 🐶)

Rich Rosen’s $300K Month: The Step-by-Step Breakdown to Winning Big in Any Recruiting Market

Ready to uplevel your recruiting game? In our latest episode, “Rich Rosen’s $300K Month: The Step-by-Step Breakdown to Winning Big in Any Recruiting Market,” we sat down with industry legend Rich Rosen for a brutally honest, strategy-packed conversation you won’t want to miss.

Here’s your podcast cheat sheet (and motivation dose):

🔥 The Mindset Shift: Stop letting the news cycle control your perspective. 2025 doesn’t have to be “more of the same”—if you put in the work and embrace change, your best month ever is within reach.

☎️ The Truth About Phone Time: Rich is clear—AI is amazing, but if you’re not spending 4+ hours a day on the phone, you’re leaving money on the table. The best recruiters are blending tech AND classic calls to win big.

💡 Toolbox Secrets:

• AI is your friend, not your replacement. Rich uses multiple AI tools to write emails, research candidates, and create client battle cards—but the follow-through happens on the phone.

• LinkedIn Posting = Inbound Gold. Consistent, polarizing posts (not just job ads) pulled in new and old clients and led directly to placements. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind and show your expertise.

• Modern BD, Classic Hustle. Whether it’s cold calls, emails, or clever use of MPCs, there’s no single “easy button.” Rich does it all, but never relies on any one channel.

Work Ethic Wins: Even after 30 years and 1,200+ placements, Rich is STILL putting in 11/10 effort—while spending plenty of time with family and taking months off each year. Balancing productivity and personal life isn’t a myth.

Who You Surround Yourself With Matters: Want to level up? Hang around top billers—Rich credits much of his momentum and success to his peers in Pinnacle Society and surrounding himself with success-focused recruiters.

Final Takeaway: There’s no easy way out in recruiting. You have to show up, keep learning, and outwork the competition. But the payoff? Life-changing income, flexibility, and—if you keep at it—record months, even in tough markets.

🎧 Listen to the full episode for more tactical tips, stories, and insight from Rich—you’ll leave fired up to crush your next goal.
