Can I find a great worker, a highly talented worker in the Philippines? Hey, my name is John Jonas, and I have spent this last week with a couple friends of mine who are doctors. They got married in college, and then they went to med school together, and they raised residency together, and then there he's a radiation oncologist, and she's an ER doctor. Really highly functioning couple. And he asked me about virtual assistants in the Philippines, and he was like, oh, so what? Like, what could they really do for me in my business? He's super skeptical, and he's a super skeptical guy, but he was very skeptical about it. And I was like, well, is there anything you do that isn't like treating a patient with radiation? He was like, yeah. I mean, there's all kinds of stuff that I do. Like, after I treat a patient, I have to write notes. So I'll spend two hours with someone or talking with someone. Then I have to go spend 45 minutes writing a note about it so the other doctors can read the note and so that I have the notes later. And that's so tedious. And if I could cut that time down, then great, but I just don't think so. And I was like, dude, that's like the easiest thing ever. You can hire a nurse in the Philippines or someone, maybe even a doctor in the Philippines who understands the language already and who can write your note for you, do most of the work for you, so that you spend five minutes reading the note and doing some editing, and then you just cut your time down from 45 minutes to five minutes. And if you do that five, six, seven, eight times a week, Dang, that's a lot of time. You just got back, and he was skeptical, and we talked through it, and I gave him some examples of people that I've hired that like, really, really talented people, right? And he finally. He was like, I gotta do it. I got to hire a virtual assistant in the Philippines. So can you find good work in the Philippines? Well, let me give you a couple examples. So, number one, onlinejobs, pH, which is my website, which is where you're gonna go to hire people, has a Facebook page with hundreds of thousands of likes on. I don't even know how many likes it has because I've never made a single post there. I didn't create the page. I didn't. I've never been involved in it. One day I found the page, someone pointed it out to me, and I was like, hey, did any of you workers create that? Not any of you workers. I Sent an email to my workers. I said, did any of you create this page? And one of them said, yeah, I just thought it'd be good for us to have a presence on Facebook. So I created it. I hope that's okay with you. And it had like a thousand likes or something at the time. I was like, okay, sweet. And then my. Another VA of mine was like, hey, we need to be making posts. Hey, we need to be making posts. And I kept saying no, because I hate Facebook so much. And finally I was like, sure, show me what posts you'll make. And she sent me a bunch of stuff. And I was like, okay, yeah, like, this is really great. And I've never made a single post. This has been going on for years and years and they've done literally all the work for it. I have a friend who, he runs an investment bank and he hired an investment banking analyst for the Philippines. He said, he told me, john, this is amazing. This guy is super talented.

I have another friend, he's a lawyer and he hired a lawyer to write content for him and to do research for him. Like, she's super talented. He was blown away by what she knows and what she can do for her. I have a video editor who I hired as a graphic designer and he was good with graphic design. And then he was like, hey, I can also do video work. And he made a video that he sent to me and was like, holy cow. Like, this is amazing. He had a drone that he shot himself. And he shot himself walking around. He saw himself talking and it was so dang good. I have people that do transcription or content writing. They write my personal blog.
