Great stuff, John. I'm looking at hiring my second one now 6 months later. The beach looks killer. I can't make it to this big meetup you have coming up but I'd love to see the place within the next 12 months!

I had some personal experience with Filipinos that we worked with day in and day out in Iraq. I know what you mean but never actually thought about it until today. That is very true about self esteem.
My outsourcer almost quit because she felt she wasn't doing a good enough job for me..luckily I was able to convince her how happy I was with her output and saved….I wouldn't get anything done without her!
My friend has signed up to outsource force in which I missed out on the opportunity, luckily I found out about you. I definitely need to outsource but i'm a little scared to employ that first one I've identified where my weaknesses are but I don't know what is holding me back
