I built an eight-figure business working 15 hours a week—and the reason is simple: Filipino Virtual Assistants.

Most business owners think hiring a VA is risky, complicated, or only good for small tasks. 

But here’s the truth: a VA can do almost anything you can do on a computer or phone—admin, customer support, bookkeeping, marketing, design, coding, even running six-figure ad campaigns. 

In this episode, I walk through everything I’ve learned since hiring my first VA back in 2005 (who still works with me today). Where to hire, what to look for, what tools to use, how to train, and how to build trust—and why the leap you’re scared to take is the one that gives you back your time, your freedom, and your best chance at real growth.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:

✅ What a VA really is (and isn’t)—not just “cheap help,” but long-term teammates

💸 Why the Philippines wins—lower cost plus a huge pool of motivated talent

🧩 The two hiring goals that never change: get work done + buy back your time

🗂️ Tasks you can delegate right now—email, support, bookkeeping, content, design, SEO, paid ads, even sales

🕵️ Where to hire and why it matters—skip agencies & platforms, go direct on OnlineJobs.ph

🧠 Hire for hunger, train the skills—loyalty and communication beat “expert” every time

🧰 My tool stack that just works—Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Basecamp, Loom, Canva, Asana

🤝 Trust goes both ways—pay on time, give feedback, be a good employer

🌙 The overnight execution loop—train once, sleep, wake up to finished work

📈 Proof it compounds—I trained a VA from social to ads; now she manages $100k/month

🏆 Longevity is the secret—my first VA from 2005 still works with me

At the end of the day, outsourcing is about creating a system where good people do great work for a long time. When you hire for fit, train simply, and treat people well, your hours shrink while results compound.
