- How To
Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
When you start working with a VA, don't expect them to come ready made for your business. There's talent, humility and hard work, but actually, you need to invest time while they learn what you want and actually how you work and how you like to work
Delegation and systemization makes your business and your brand resilient.
You need to create openness so that you can have a really strong and productive relationship between you - allow your team to manage you and not always expecting to come to you for the answers.
Filipino VAs are amazing to work with because their English is phenomenal, they are humble, polite, sweet, hardworking, professional,

ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Filipino VAs are exploding in popularity with many Entrepreneurs/Small Business Owners becoming increasingly curious about whether this really is a great affordable solution for them.
There can be a lot of fear around the decision of outsourcing local operations to an overseas Filipino VA/team of VAs – will they speak English? Is it secure? Are you ‘paying peanuts to get monkeys’ and so on…
Imogen Cook ‘The Queen of Delegation’ has been living and breathing a company culture at The Freedom Geek of working remotely yet closely with Filipino VAs since 2017. She’s helped hundreds of Small Business Owners find and work with high quality Filipino VAs who have transformed their businesses. Her entire business is run by her own (unbelievably fabulous) Filipino remote team. Imogen is happy to share what she's learned in over 8 years of streamlining and systemizing her own business through optimizing the talents of Filipino VAs.
