Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

05:25 – Now, did she ever get the chance to work remote until these crazy 2020 changes? Or no? No? Oh, so this is her first opportunity experiencing what you and I know.

10:00 – We transitioned from remote to the office, which was actually like a huge culture drain for people, we can slowly tell that people started to hate it more and more as they drove to the office. Some people moved to Florida and they missed their family. There’s a lot of elements going on there. I think personally, I mean, I never had a corporate job after college. I’m much more productive remote, where I can work in shorts and a T shirt and wake up and I usually do the most important thing every day and kind of have my own schedule.

22:40 – Absolutely, but they’re doing a great job with live streaming. I’m a workout junkie, I do intense workout every day and their live streams are awesome. They have a bunch of people together. It’s fun. It’s high energy and it’s all I’ve been doing as a workout since COVID started. So it’s kind of the the force pivot that they had to do, but very smart.

30:13 – We sold pre op in November of last year. We launched Outsourcing School in March of 2020. So once we got through the holidays and celebrated, we hit the ground running with our school.

41:55 – We are cracking the code, we go through interviewing, onboarding, training and managing. A lot of the reducing turnover stuff comes down into the management part, although there’s parts of it and interviewing and onboarding. In terms of marketing, we have lead generation, we have influencers out there, and we have podcasts.

49:40 – It’s a real role in your company. It’s something very important, like customer service or sales. The default should always be full time. Now, I always say that with hesitation because if you’re someone listening and you can’t afford someone full time, you should absolutely hire someone part time and eventually make them full scale, hire another person.

54:20 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

To me, life’s too short to do stuff that you don’t want to do. I’m all about flexibility, freedom, doing whatever you want, whenever you want, within reason. If you don’t have that flexibility and you’re an entrepreneur, chances are it comes down to your systems, your processes, your teams, and if everything we talked about sounds a little bit overwhelming. Start off with just getting five hours a week back you’ll be amazed at just hiring a five hour week virtual assistant what it’ll do for your personal life, your relationships, your business life, your focus by the stuff like that can be game changers like guy that’s gonna cost you 1300 bucks a year. You’re gonna get six and a half weeks back a year just by hiring a VA for five hours a week. It’s gonna get addicting. And my goal is to get as many people as possible into that flexibility, freedom lifestyle that I’m in, and I’m very grateful for.

Final Words:

Every decision I make in my business is based on who’s going to do the work. Is it me? Or is it someone else? If it’s me that has to do the work then I don’t want to do this, I don’t want to pursue this project. That’s the way you make decisions towards getting your way down from 50 hours a week to 38 to 27 to 17. Who’s going to do the work is it me or is it someone else? It’s got to be someone else or we can’t pursue and that’s lifestyle balance.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”11:00″] I know India has different dialects. The Philippines does too. One of the great things about the Philippines is that English is the first language there. They’ll teach Math and English in elementary school.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] You can have this person do anything you’re willing to teach them to do. Now, obviously, in the beginning, I taught this guy a marketing process. You shouldn’t hire a programmer to write this content. Don’t hire an audio editor and say, hey, also do my SEO. In the beginning, I hired a general VA.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] If you’re telling me that you’re the ultimate hustler, and you’re putting in 60 to 80 hours a week, that’s a concern. What you’re showing me is that you haven’t figured it out. You don’t have a continuation game plan. That’s my concern, you didn’t build a business, you built a job.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] I’ve seen lots of people go through this. I couldn’t hire someone to do what I needed. It wasn’t cost effective here, however, it was cost-effective in the Philippines. My business grew where my business would have failed. I then reached a point where I could afford to hire someone here in the USA. I love Filipinos because they have created jobs in the US too.
• [spp-timestamp time=”52:00″] The ending advice that I always give is, you have to try it. You have to try this and see if it works for you. If you don’t try it, you’ll never know. If you tried it and it doesn’t work, at least you know. It only costs you a couple of hundred bucks. If it does work, the upside is so high. The risk here is so out of proportion of the reward. You just have to try and see what happens, that’s what I went through.
