My OFS, Julia, is in the process of getting her driver’s license. She’s in her forties, so I was surprised to learn that she’s only started learning how to drive. <img src="https://mcusercontent.com/4bdbf922212cd053de282f27f/images/21557765-9a91-be42-b825-0af97e615860.jpg" width="480" height="312" data-file-id="474712"... |
In 2022, many Philippine holidays fell on the weekend. But in 2023, you may have noticed that many of those holidays now land on a Monday or Friday. If your OFS doesn’t work on the weekends, they can expect around 9 “long weekends” if we count regular and special holidays. If your business is affected by this, make su... |

"John - How do I know if I can trust them?" It's one of the first questions people ask me. Humans are hardwired to be suspicious of things we don’t know or understand. That’s how we protect ourselves. So I understand why you’d be reluctant to trust a stranger halfway across the world to help with your business. What... |
Here's a VA I know who is available to hire. <img src="https://mcusercontent.com/4bdbf922212cd053de282f27f/images/09a34b2f-3459-b3da-801d-b586be2fb5b0.png" width="250" height="250" data-file-id="474840" /> Notice I didn't call him an OFS.

Last week I told you about my son in the Philippines and how he had a friend there who needed a job. My son had vetted Marc for me. Marc was trustworthy and hard working, just not super skilled.

It may be winter where you live (it certainly is where I live), but most Filipinos are preparing for the summer heat. If you sent your OFS 13th-month pay, some of them probably spent that money to buy new fans and air conditioners or upgrade the ones they already have. Some employers are aware of this and have even gi... |

I’ve mentioned a few times that “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” is one of those books that shaped the course of my life. It kept me out of debt. It taught me to take appropriate risks. It taught me to buy assets before liabilities. There’s a line in that book that, I think, perfectly illustrates the potential of hiring an OFS: ... |
People always tell me "How can I trust this person?" Their minds immediately go to “What if my OFS steals from me?” With a local hire, you know you can go to the police. But what if your OFS steals your financial information or client list or destroys your website, database, or cloud? What can you do? The good th... |

I talk a lot about earning your OFS (Online Filipino Specialist) trust and giving them training and benefits. Why? Why be so nice to Filipino workers? They work for you!

I have a neighbor who sells shoes on eBay. He has like 3,000-5,000 Pairs of shoes...in his basement! He's always wearing some cool new pair of unique shoes.

Job titles aren’t that important to me. But in the Philippines, it’s a big deal. An impressive job title is a source of pride. A nice-sounding job title announces to their family and friends how good they are at their job or how much money they’re making without openly bragging about it. This cultural thing is what ... |
Every day I get emails from people saying "Do you have X type of worker?" Yes, yes we do. I usually reply with a search result from OnlineJobs.ph.

I’ve talked before that setting up shop in the Philippines is really hard, and that’s still the case today.

But if you want t... |

So often I see people say "I want to hire someone to do X, Y, Z, 1, 2, and 3. They have to have all those qualifications!"

In my opinion, you'll have a better experience if you hire someone to do 1 task for you. ... |

The Philippines is VERY different than India. You don't need to micro-manage people. You don't need to look at every single thing they're doing. Let them do their work and don't worry about it.
