I say NO to a lot of things.

That's how I live the 17-hour work week.
I do say YES to some things. Want to know what they are? That's what I'll be talking about in this episode.

Sometimes, I can be a bad retail customer. I buy and return a bunch of stuff. 
Because of that, I've seen these companies' different types of customer service. The really good ones really clicked with me. It inspired me and gave me ideas on improving our customer service at Onlinejobs.ph.

Almost everybody I know who hired an Online Filipino Specialist (OFS) wishes they had done it sooner.
If they had hired sooner, they could have grown their business faster. They would have saved more time instead of wasting it on low-value tasks.

Cathy sent me an email a while back asking how she can hire an OFS for her brick-and-mortar accounting firm. She sent me a bunch of questions.

Evaluating business opportunities is one of the foundations of living the 4-hour work week. That's how I've been able to maintain my 17-hour work week lifestyle.

In this episode, I want to talk about Marcjem. He's one of the people my son has befriended on his mission in Marinduque. He's a college-educated, experienced graphic designer, and he's unemployed.
