“If you deprive yourself of outsourcing and your competitors do not, you’re putting yourself out of business.” Lee Kuan Yew
No, you don’t have to do it all alone. Outsourcing has been increasingly popular. But what are the main things to consider when looking to find talent outside of your office? John enthusiastically shares his journey on The Entrepreneurial You podcast.
As a Programmer, John started a few online businesses, some of which didn’t last very long.
John discovered how working with talent from the Philippines has positively impacted his very successful business. It worked so well, persons from his mastermind group began to ask how they might get to do the same.
Hiring someone full time from the Philippines has been super liberating for John.
Outsource to the Philippines
He shares that Filipinos have the characteristics that make them good hire. They are honest; they don’t want to steal your business ideas as they are not entrepreneurial. They are very loyal, almost to a fault. They won’t jump ship the minute they get a better deal from someone else. They are hardworking and pleasing by nature. Communication issues will not exist because they speak very good English.
In outsourcing effectively, have a clear vision of what you want to offload and find someone to do that.
