  • 7 Reasons the Philippines Is the World’s Business Process Outsourcing Giant
    2025/04/23

    Ever wonder why the whole world’s outsourcing to the Philippines now? There’s a reason. Actually... there are seven solid reasons—and one more that might matter a lot more than you think.

    Outsourcing used to mean India. Not anymore. In 2010, everything changed—and the Philippines quietly became the global leader in business process outsourcing.

    I’ve hired over 50 full-time Filipino workers. I’ve seen firsthand why they outperform, outlast, and flat-out care more than anything I ever got from freelancers or agencies.

    So what makes the Philippines the best-kept secret in global hiring—and how did it become the world’s outsourcing giant?

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the 7 core reasons businesses are shifting their outsourcing to the Philippines—and the bonus reason that might be even more important for your team:

    👉 The cost savings when you hire directly—without agency markups

    👉 Why English is everywhere in the Philippines—from signs to science class

    👉 How their education system produces thinkers, not just task followers

    👉 A culture that’s wired to work hard, please the boss, and keep their job

    👉 How Western media shaped a workforce that gets your culture

    👉 The internet and power upgrades that made remote work reliable

    👉 A government that’s actively investing in outsourcing success

    👉 A workforce that works great with any boss—male, female, or LGBTQ

    You want to scale faster with less stress? Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

    🎯 What actually makes Filipino workers different—and why it matters

    🎯 How to skip the agency markup and get better talent for $6/hr

    🎯 The industries Filipinos dominate—from tech to HR to accounting

    ▶️ Hit play and find out what makes the Philippines the most powerful outsourcing country in the world.

  • How I Started Living the 4-Hour Work Week
    2025/04/21


    You think living the 4-hour work week is just a dream? I used to think that too—until life forced me to figure it out fast.

    Back in 2007, my wife got a life-threatening diagnosis late in her pregnancy. I had two toddlers, a growing business, and zero margin for error. I couldn’t work. At all. And yet… the business kept going. Actually, it grew. That was the moment everything changed.

    I didn’t just try the 4-hour work week. I got thrown into it. And the reason it worked? Two Filipino VAs I had trained from the ground up. Not tools. Not some automation hack. Just real people I trusted.

    So how did I go from grinding 50+ hour weeks… to stepping away cold turkey—while my business didn’t just survive, but got stronger?

    In this episode, I break it all down:

    👉 Why hiring Filipino VAs was the only reason my business didn’t collapse

    👉 The mistake I made early on that almost kept me trapped in 60-hour weeks

    👉 How two quiet, “task-level” VAs turned out to be strategic thinkers (and lifesavers)

    I’ll also show you what happened after I realized I wasn’t going back—because once I saw what they could do, I started making different choices about how I built my business.

    By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

    🎯 How to stop treating VAs like assistants—and start training them like partners

    🎯 The mindset shift that made my business grow while I worked less

    🎯 Why lifestyle freedom is a choice you make before the business explodes

    ▶️ Think your VAs can’t run your business? You might be the one holding them back. Hit play.

  • Outsourcing: India Vs. Philippines | How Philippines Outsourcing Is Different From India
    2025/04/18

    If you’re still stuck thinking “India = outsourcing,” you’re living in 2005. The world’s moved on—and there’s a reason.

    You ever call support, get someone you just can’t understand, hang up, and call back hoping for a miracle? Yeah—I did that once.

    📞 First call: India. Couldn’t understand him, he couldn’t understand me. Hung up.

    📞 Second call: the Philippines. Clear English. Super helpful. Solved my problem in two minutes. That was it for me—my aha moment.

    Outsourcing to India used to be the gold standard. But not anymore. In this episode, I break down why the world’s shifting to the Philippines—and why your business should too.

    I’ve been hiring overseas since 2005. I’ve seen both sides up close. Built a 7-figure business working just 17 hours a week. And I’m here to tell you… it’s not even close anymore.

    So what actually makes the Philippines better? Let’s get into it:

    👉 The real reason Filipinos are way easier to communicate with

    👉 The massive cultural difference that kills productivity in India

    👉 How Filipino VAs actually solve problems instead of waiting for instructions

    Think this is just about accents? Not even close. Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

    🎯 How Filipino culture makes your team more reliable, loyal, and secure

    🎯 Why Indian freelancers tend to jump ship—and Filipinos stick for years

    🎯 The hidden risk of hiring entrepreneurial workers (especially if you’re sharing your IP)

    🎯 Why Filipino VAs brag about working for Americans—and how that boosts morale

    ▶️ It’s not about accents—it’s about loyalty, clarity, and who actually solves your problems. Hit play.

    🔔 Still know someone hiring in India because “that’s what everyone does”? Send them this episode.
