John Jonas is the author of the book How I Replace Myself by Outsourcing to the Philippines. Tim Ferriss’ 4 Hour Workweek changed his life, and John figured out how to achieve that lifestyle, but he saw the 17-hour week as a more practical method to avoid boredom and make the approach more practical.

“Anytime you can gain by focusing on your business is a win.”

“There’s a different culture in the Philippines that provides a higher likelihood of success.”

• Task you should outsource FIRST
• How to find Filipino workers that can be part of your team
• How to make sure you’re finding effective low-cost employees
• Strategies for managing a growing team
