Recorded live for the 10x Solo community, this workshop breaks down how I built a lean remote team from the Philippines, starting for less than $200 a month. I walk through where I found each team member, what I pay and why, and the exact tasks I delegate, from LinkedIn outreach and newsletter production to podcast editing and inbox triage. You'll also get my biggest delegation mistakes, how to vet candidates, how to pay international contractors, and why your assistant should be using AI. If you've been on the fence about hiring a VA, this is your roadmap.
