If you're here, you've probably heard of other online business owners who work with Filipino virtual assistants.

You're likely wondering things like:

"Is it ethical to hire a virtual assistant from the Phillipines if I live in a western country?"

"Can I trust a VA that I hire from a different country?"

"How can I work with a virtual assistant from a different time zone?"

"What would be a living wage for a virtual assistant from the Phillipines?

If you've been wondering any of these questions, or similar questions related to hiring a VA, then you're really going to get a ton out of this episode.

I interviewed John Jonas - the founder of the OnlineJobs.ph website, to share more about the culture of the Phillipines, and what to keep in mind when hiring a Filipino VA.

I believe in transparency, and in empowering YOU as the business owner to make values-based decisions for yourself.

So, give this episode a listen, decide what you think for yourself, then create a policy aligned to your values.
