Screw The Nine To Five Podcast Interview

Contractors Will Never Work If You Want To Grow Your Business. Here’s Why. This is one of the best interviews I had this year. Josh and I had an awesome conversation that uncovered a lot of the things that most people didn’t know about outsourcing. For most people, outsourcing is about hiring contract workers. You give the freelancer a specific job with specific instructions. Once you get what you want, you’re on your own. But it’s not a liberating experience. It doesn’t support the growth mindset you need for your business.  When you hire contract workers:

• You’re assured of 100% turnover
• You’ll never get 100% of the commitment
• And at the end of the day, you’ll still stuck with 100% of the work.

When you outsource to the Philippines, things are different. The culture of Filipino virtual assistants encourages the growth mindset because:

• You don’t have to worry about turnover (Filipinos are fiercely loyal)
• Filipinos are talented, skilled, and want challenging work, and
• Most Filipinos are motivated to succeed because they’re not just doing this for the money.

There are thousands of entrepreneurs who have used this model successfully like Adam for his Amazon Ecommerce Business and Kevin for his Dropshipping Business.
