Everything changed for me when I started outsourcing to the Philippines. I started with just ONE person. Based on that one person I have been able to build a high 6 figure business over the last couple of year whilst travelling the world and living the freedom lifestyle.

What I suggest to all clients is to start with that ONE person that I call a General Virtual Assistant or GVA. The first question you need to ask yourself is; What tasks am I currently doing that are repetitive and what tasks are project based? Repetitive tasks are the ones that your business typically does, daily, weekly or monthly. Once you identify what these are you need to train your GVA on how to do these. You will need to go through a phase of show, train, measure, but in a short space of time you will start getting results!

The next task for a GVA is to start recruiting your virtual team that should consist of; web designer, graphic designer, SEO expert, audio/video editor, content writer and any other person you think you may need to drive your business forwards. (see picture below) Another question you should ask yourself consistently is “how can I NOT do this”!
