John Jonas is the reason why this episode is even possible and has been produced in a collective effort by our team sourced from onlinejobs.ph. John Jonas is the founder of onlinejobs.ph – the job board for virtual workers in the Philippines. He discusses his journey into growing his businesses by outsourcing tasks and leveraging other people's time to build his business. What it’s like to outsource business processes and the process to finding the help that you need to grow your business by leveraging the right platform and setting the right expectations when onboarding a virtual assistant who John prefers to call an Online Filipino Specialist (OFS).After having built rapport with a few VAs, John was forced to step away from his business for a family emergency for several weeks forced to give the keys (figuratively) to his VAs to run his business remotely. Upon his return, the business had operated as usual without him running, it is then that John truly realized the power that this could have for entrepreneurs globally.
