I see business owners make the same mistake over and over—they chase “cheap outsourcing” and end up paying way more than they should. 💸

Here’s the truth: outsourcing done right isn’t about cutting corners or hiring the cheapest option.

It’s about building something sustainable—a team that actually helps your business grow instead of creating more problems to manage.

When I first started outsourcing, I thought I was saving time by letting an agency handle it all.

Big mistake.

They marked up costs, added bad management, and I lost one of the best programmers I ever had because of “office politics” I couldn’t control.

Once I started hiring directly from the Philippines, everything changed.

I got better people, more loyalty, lower risk, and the kind of long-term ROI you just don’t get from freelancers or BPOs.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

💰 The real cost of outsourcing—salary, benefits, time, and hidden fees🏢 Why agencies and BPOs charge more while giving you less control⚙️ How hiring direct in the Philippines saves money and builds loyalty📉 The hidden time and risk costs most owners overlook🧠 Why a few hours up front save you years later🤝 How Filipino loyalty turns short-term hires into lifetime teammates📈 The math behind 100x–1000x ROI from people who stay and grow with you

I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and here’s what I know: the cheaper, faster, easier route isn’t cheaper, faster, or easier in the long run.

The real win is bringing great people into your company and letting them grow with you.

That’s where the magic happens.
