Outsourcing Made Work EXCITING Again

Welcome to the Secret Sauce of Outsourcing podcast that's dedicated to making you better at outsourcing. This is episode 396, a delight to work with. So have you ever had the feeling that you're looking forward to going to work? I get these things from employers where they're like, oh, my gosh, I'm so excited to open up my email in the morning because they're going to get an email from someone in the Philippines and it's going to. It's going to make their day, right? They're going to find out how much work got done last night. And that's super awesome for me. I mean, that's like every day, right? So for me, when I get excited to go to work, it's usually because we launched a new product and I'm excited to see what happened overnight, like, did we bring in sales or how are things going? Are there problems or what's going on? Or when sales are ramping up. Like, you launched a new product and now you just launched an advertising campaign and we're seeing what happened from the advertising campaign and I'm super excited to find out what's going on or like, like, if I just gave a whole bunch of new instructions yesterday and I want to see how this was received and what went on and how are things going, then, yeah, I'm super excited to come to work and see what's going on or if I hired someone new. And again, I guess this is similar to the previous one where I've just given a bunch of instructions and maybe they're taking something off of my plate and today I don't have to do that thing. And that's really exciting, even if it means, no, no, today I'm going to spend more time because I'm going to explain this again. That's super exciting to me because that means tomorrow I'm going to spend less time and someone else is going to be doing that thing. So those are things where it's really exciting for me to come to work. Now, for you, my guess is if you're, I mean, if you're listening to this, you like coming up with new ideas, you like solving problems. You are. You're a driver of things. You like figuring things out and coming up with solutions and you just don't like doing the actual work of it, which is a lot of how I am. I don't love doing the actual work. I don't want to write content. I don't want to create this thing. I don't want to look at Google, AdWords or Facebook ads? I don't want to. I want to create solutions for how those things should work and then have other people do the work. Right. And so if that's like you, you're going to love assigning things to ofs. So here's what Mike experiences with his team. Mike sent me this email recently. Hey John, I just want to say that onlinejobs PH has literally changed my life. I'm not a literally kind of person, but in this case, literally. Literally is the correct word. He continues. My team are all based out of the Philippines. They're loyal, hardworking, polite and friendly. Literally a delight to work with. Thanks again. Love onlinejobs PH and my team from Mike. So yeah, a delight to work with. And that's really what so many people from the Philippines are. And this is a cultural thing where they want to make you happy there. It's a very pleasing culture. They want. They want to do good for you. And that's the kind of thing that can make work fun and can make it a delight to come to work because you have really good people working with you. So in the last episode I told you about ofsguide.com and I would still suggest ofsguide.com if you're ready to hire someone.
