I actually hire family members of my OFS team.
I don't always do it. They go through my hiring steps like anybody else. If they're not good enough, I don't hire them.
Also, your OFS won't want to recommend a family member who might be bad for the business. They know they'll lose face if that person doesn't do well.
Let's talk more about it in this episode.

There's a reason why I often remind people NOT to pre-pay for work.
You should pay for a test task, but once you hire someone, don't pre-pay for the work they'll do.
If they ask you to pre-pay for work, that's usually a red flag.
Instead, you should pay them every week, at least at the beginning. This allows you to build trust without having to pay them in advance.
Let's talk more about this in this episode.

Should you pay your OFS in Philippine peso or your currency?
It depends.
No matter what happens, your OFS will receive their salary in pesos.
We actually had an interesting conversation with our team about that. It turns out the amount they receive will fluctuate when we send them their salary in USD.
How much is this going to affect your OFS? Let's talk about that.

This video is going to be intesresting and different.
Well, maybe not that different because we all know about the amazing things an Online Filipino Specialist can do for your business.
What's interesting about this OFS is she works for a talent agency in Hollywood. She talked about the work she does from them and it's pretty cool.

Recently, I received lousy work from one of my Online Filipino Specialists.
It was not my best moment. I got frustrated. I scolded that person.
Despite that, he didn't disappear.
This wasn't the first time I had to deal with bad work. I have scolded my team before. But we have reached this level of trust where I don't have to worry about them disappearing whenever that happens.
I know this is different for some of you. Some of you had their OFS disappear.
It doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, I'll share how to deal with lousy work so our OFS doesn't disappear.

Everybody wants someone great to work for them, but not everybody wants to do the work. To some, referrals are the only way to get someone great.
In this episode, I will advise you on how to find somebody great. Plus, some tips on how to screen and find the best candidates from Onlinejobs.ph.

Should you buy your VA a computer?
If your VA is a new hire, has worked less than a year, or you don't trust them yet, you shouldn't.
If they ask for a computer too soon, that's a red flag.
If your VA has been working for you for a long time and you trust them, you should get them a computer. If an upgrade will make them more productive, it will also help your business.
BUT getting your VA a computer is a bit more complicated. In this episode, I share how we do it (which is the easiest way in my experience).

I know I'd make more money if I worked on social media more, or mentorships, or phone calls, but I don't do it.
I don't believe in trading time for money. It doesn't scale well for me, and I'd miss out on many things.
I don't like anything that sucks my time. My time is better spent with my family and my business. So, I hired someone to do the work for me.
What in your life can you cut out to get more time back? What can you delegate and have someone else do? Let me know.
