Every year, I audit the tasks my OFS team is doing. I look at what's effective and what works. We get rid of the things that don't work.
Doing this audit isn't just about making my OFS more effective. Going through these things actually helps me also to evaluate the things that I do. Are there tasks that I should focus more of my time on? Are there things not worth my time that I can outsource to an OFS?
Let me talk you through my process in this episode.

The Philippines experiences a lot of natural disasters. Typhoons, volcanoes, and earthquakes happen to them every year.
But the great thing about Filipinos is that they recover quickly. They're so used to natural disasters they adapt and find ways.  This is what makes them resourceful and reliable workers.
Let's talk about that in this episode.

I've noticed over the years that my OFS "don't like" going on vacations.
They do go on vacations. They have unlimited vacation time. But they rarely ask for it. They even work on days they should be on vacation.
I think the best way to explain this would be to tell Julia's story and how she spent her non-vacation in this episode.

Depending on when you hear this, this episode might be too late, too early, or just in time.
Regardless, the 13th month is a big deal in the Philippines. We don't have it here, so I understand why people have so many questions about it. Like when you should pay it, how much or should you even pay it?
I'll try to answer all of those questions in this episode.

I get a bunch of questions about giving raises, like:
- how much of a raise should you give?
- how often should you give?
- does it affect benefits?
I'll try to answer all of them and more in this episode.

I created Onlinejobs.ph to solve the problems I have encountered when hiring a VA from an agency. The difference is just astounding.
When you hire directly, you have access to more talent, you have more freedom, you save money and your Online Filipino Specialist makes more money.
There are a bunch more pros to hiring directly through Onlinejobs.ph. Let's talk about that in this episode.

When I was starting out, I hired from a VA agency because I didn't know what to do. I didn't know there were other options.

I know I'm biased because I own Onlinejobs.ph but I've hired enough people from agencies before to know they're not always the best option. Let's talk about that in this episode.

There's no such thing as perfection. But if you have a good hiring process (like the one I teach at OneVAAway.com) and find a great Online Filipino Specialist, it can feel like you found the perfect person for your business.
In this episode, let's listen to Laurie about her experience hiring at OFS from Onlinejobs.ph and how it has transformed her business.

I'm gonna make some people uncomfortable here and will likely offend more with this episode.
Yes, UpWork is good, but I don't think it's good for business or the workers involved.
If it's great for workers and business, Onlinejobs.ph shouldn't exist.
Let's talk about it.

I remember being called "Sir" by my OFS for the first time. It was uncomfortable. But over the years, I have realized it's cultural. It's a sign of respect for them.
Now, some of my OFS team call me by my name, but most still call me "Sir."
