🎙 Steve is joined by Georges Verdis and his operations manager, Grace, based in the Philippines. Georges shares his experience of transitioning from a purely UK-based team to incorporating remote workers from the Philippines. With the help of Steve, Georges successfully systemized his team and hired Grace as his replacement office manager. The episode explores the reasons behind the success of working with overseas workers, including the high quality of work and the cultural values of loyalty and dedication.



KEY TAKEAWAYS
💡 The decision to hire remote team members from the Philippines was not solely based on cost savings but rather on the high quality of work and dedication they bring to the team.
💡 The cultural values of Filipinos, such as loyalty, discipline, and a "yes can do" attitude, contribute to their success in remote work.
💡 The initial affordability of hiring team members from the Philippines allowed for the growth of the team and the ability to reward them with fair wages relative to their cost of living.
💡 Meeting remote team members in person can strengthen the bond and connection between team members, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose.
💡 Visiting the Philippines provided valuable insights into the local culture, living conditions, and the impact of remote work on individuals and their families.



BEST MOMENTS
11:10 - 💬‘I think the biggest insight was the fact that the second time around, I didn't do the hiring. Yes, Grace did the hiring, and not only did she do the hiring, but Grace actually gave me positive constructive feedback of where I didn't do things right, which was very insightful for me, because that also shows our strengths and weaknesses.’ - Georges
13:40 - 💬‘I think it's important when you hear me, I say five of us, I don't say five of them. It's five of us in the Philippines, four of us here currently looking to actually hire somebody else as well in the UK at this moment. And it's a variety of roles and very important roles.’ - Georges
38:26 - 💬‘I think the biggest jump or insight is I always say yes to things, and then I'm like, I'll work it out along the way. As I was on the plane, I was thinking to myself, you know, it's all well and good that we all work together, but we work virtually. What if we don't get on with each other? What if after this trip, some people will say, I'm out.’ - Georges
45:20 - 💬‘The kids were happy. They were playing. But coming back, so there is one aspect. On my first day, we drove through the slums. And one of the deals that I had done with my wife is like, I'm not going to talk about work. So all the questions, we were not going to talk about work.’ - Georges

ABOUT THE HOST
Steve used to be a slave to his business, but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change how he worked. He switched to running his businesses remotely. After totally nailing this concept, he spent his time helping other small business owners do the same. Steve’s been investing in property since 2002, has a degree in Computing, and worked as a doctor in the NHS before quitting to focus full-time on sharing his systems and outsourcing Methodology with the world. He now lives in Sweden and runs his UK-based businesses remotely with the help of his team of Filipino and UK-based Virtual Assistants.
