When most people hire their first virtual assistant, they have a really liberating first week. You're doing everything yourself and then you hire this person and all of a sudden you have a teammate whose full time job is to do anything you ask them to do for around 400 to $600 a month for full time work. I started with one virtual assistant and got a little bit off of my plate and got some time back. And that's what I want you to do. My name is John Jonas. For the last 10 years, I've worked about 17 hours a week. I golf, I ride my mountain bike a lot. I spend a lot of time with my wife and with my. My goal with this is to help you do the same thing by getting the right help in your business so you can get some time back. Yeah, okay. You're not going to get to 17 hours a week today or probably even this year. It took me five years to get to this point. But if you start with something small and get a little bit of time back, you get better at running your business and then it snowballs from there. You just have to start with something. Fifteen years ago, I hired my first virtual worker in the Philippines. I had no idea how competent, loyal, skilled or honest they would be. I didn't know that they would be capable of doing everything that I was doing in my business for me, including writing content and programming and design social media, running Facebook ads and Google Ads, customer support, lead generation. The list goes on and on of what they do. Obviously these aren't the same person. It took me time to get all this done. But here's what I want you to do. Start by downloading my how to Hire a Rockstar Filipino Virtual Worker guide. It's free. In fact, everything I teach is free. Then go browse some of the resumes over at onlinejobs PH and see what kind of talent you could find and how much money they make and see if this looks like a good fit for you. When I started hiring workers for my business in the Philippines, I had no idea that hundreds of thousands of people would come to me and ask me to teach them how to hire workers. I had no idea that I would create hundreds of thousands of jobs in the Philippines or that thousands and thousands of businesses would succeed. Succeed because they're getting the right kind of help that they need in their business. Now it's your turn. See if this works for you and if you can buy some time by hiring a talented virtual assistant at around $3 an hour for a really talented person, you have very little to lose.
