Listen "Is the Philippines a Third-World Country"
Episode Synopsis
Ever wonder why so many business owners hire in the Philippines—even when they’ve never been there? 🤔 Most people think “third world country” and picture instability, low skills, and chaos. But that’s not what I’ve seen over the last 18+ years of working with Filipinos. The truth is, the Philippines is nothing like what most outsiders assume.It’s an emerging economy with millions of educated, talented workers who want stable, long-term jobs. The government is backing outsourcing, the middle class is growing fast, and for entrepreneurs like you, it’s one of the easiest ways to build a real team without breaking the bank.Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:📊 Why “third world” doesn’t describe the Philippines anymore — and what the country actually looks like today.🎓 How their school system builds serious talent (most workers you’ll meet have degrees).💵 The real numbers behind Filipino wages — and why those rates work for everyone.🌴 How outsourcing supports entire families who’d otherwise have to leave home just to find work.📈 Why all of this makes hiring here one of the easiest ways to grow your business fast.The Philippines isn’t just “cheap help.” It’s a country where you can find loyal, educated, long-term team members who make your business (and your life) way easier. If you’ve been holding back because of old stereotypes, you might be holding your business back, too.▶️ Hit play and see why the Philippines might be the best hiring decision you’ll ever make. 💬 What’s the biggest thing holding you back from hiring overseas?
