    The Leap of Faith in Remote Hiring

    Hiring your first remote team member can feel like stepping off a cliff. But what if that leap of faith is the key to time freedom and sustainable growth for your Pilates studio?    In the final episode of the Remote Teams for Pilates Studio series, host David Gunther speaks with John Jonas, founder of OnlineJobs.ph, about the realities of hiring and managing remote staff.   Together, they explore why trust, retention, and open conversations are more valuable than “quick fixes,” and how small businesses can create loyal teams that free owners to focus on growth. If you’re hesitating to outsource, this conversation will help you see what’s possible when you take the leap.     What You’ll Learn  ✔️ Why hiring remotely always starts with a leap of faith—and why it’s worth it  ✔️ The truth about “hire slow, fire fast” (and why it doesn’t work for small studios)  ✔️ How open conversations can rescue underperforming staff and build loyalty  ✔️ Why retention is more profitable than constant rehiring  ✔️ How remote teams create genuine time freedom for Pilates studio owners    👤 Guest Bio  John Jonas is the founder of OnlineJobs.ph, the largest marketplace for hiring full-time Filipino virtual assistants.
