Alright, you're here watching this video,
you're interested in figuring out if you
can make a time machine. There's a way
that you can do it. This is real. This is
John Jonas. He is the man and he's going,
to he's the one that taught me how to
make a time machine.
Okay so you want a time machine. My
experience is that you can actually
create a time machine. It's just slightly
different than what you think I'm not
gonna let you travel to the future or
travel back in time. But, why do you want
a time machine? You want a time machine
so that you can fix things. So that you
can get more time back in your life ,so
that you can make more money, right? if
you had a time machine what would you do?
you would travel into the past and
figure out who wins the World Series and
you make a huge bet on them so you could
make more money. Or you go and change
things in your life so you could have
more time today. So, what I want to tell
you is how to have more time in your
life today and how to make more money
doing it. And that is through outsourcing.
So what most people don't know is that
there's so many things to do in their
life and especially in a business or in
your job even. The only fixed asset that
we have is time. There's more money in
the world, there's, there are more people,
there's more relationships. The only
fixed asset is time. So you get more time,
you get other people to do things for
you that you're currently doing and then
you can go and spend your time on
something else.
So let me tell you a little bit of my
lifestyle and why I'm teaching you this
because this is real. So yesterday, I got
up in the morning, I got my kids off to
school, which that my last group leaves
at 9 o'clock.
I dropped my other kid, my youngest two
kids off with a friend to play in till
they go to school at 12:30. And then my
wife and I went skiing. We skied from
10:30 to 2:30. Came home, picked up our
youngest kids from there, from the
preschool, then my other kids started
coming home. I did an hour of work from 9
to 10 before we drop the kids off, and
then I did an hour of work from like
3:30 to 4:30. Then I stopped because my
kids were home. And then, I, I spent
the rest of the night with my kids in my
wife. And that's every day for me. Some
days I workout less or I workout more,
some days I play golf, some days I
do other things. But I work about 17 hours a
week because I have other people doing
my work for me. So with that, I have a
crazy amount of free time to do whatever
I want and that's my time machine, is
being able to do what I want with my
time. Along with that, I also own a
business and I have other people doing
the work in the business and so that
business is succeeding really well.
So your time machine would let you go back
and and make a bunch of money and create
more time in your life, that's what my
time machine does. It does for me every
day. It makes me a bunch of money and it
gives me the free time in my life that I
want. So let me tell you my story of how
I got into this so you can understand
how you can do this and how this can
work. So years ago, I had someone tell me
to go and hire a full-time person in the
Philippines. And I was like, "okay, whatever"
you know, like, that, that, it just was it
was whatever to me. And I thought about
it for a couple months. I knew there's
not enough time in the day to get
everything done that I need to get done.
I knew I'm super busy and I'm frustrated
with it. I knew there's more things to do
that I can't do that I just can't even
put onto my plate because there's
already so much there. That after a
couple months, I finally took the leap
and I hired someone. I hired someone
full-time in the Philippines and their
full-time work cost me about $700 a
month at the time. And, and it's what I
didn't know was I was way, way, way, over
paying. So I hired this guy and I
immediately started teaching him how to
do something that I was currently doing.
And, it, after a week and the first week
was pretty painful where it was, it was
like, I have to teach you everything and
then you do it wrong and I have to teach
it again and you do it wrong and I have
to teach it again and now we're getting
it right. And after like three weeks, I
had this guy I had taught him all kind
of stuff and I realized he's now doing
all of these things that I had
previously been doing and I've replaced
myself. Like I'm not doing these things
anymore, he is now doing. He is doing it
how I want them to be done, he's costing
me $700 a month for full-time work, and
there's two of me. Because now I'm
working on making sales in my
business, instead of working on these
many little details and I have I
replaced myself, and it was amazing.
And so a couple months later after I had
done that, I realized, hey I have this
other work in my business and this guy's
already fully busy let's hire someone
else and see if I can do this again. So I
hired this, this programmer I was doing
some programming work at the time, and I
showed him what I was doing and it
turned out he was a better programmer
that I was and he completely took it
over and I had replaced myself again I
had stepped back for my business and
then I had two people that were doing
things that I had previously been doing
and I just found I had all this free
time all of a sudden. And all of my work
is getting done. So that was kind of my
experience in replacing myself. Now for
me to build this time machine, I had to
take a leap and I had to hire someone
and see like, does this work? and just so
you know today, that full-time person,
well, so when I hired that guy for $700 a
month what I didn't know at the time was
the company I hired him through, was
paying him 250 dollars a month and they
were marking him up and charging me $700
a month.
So he was making 250 a month which today
you're not going to hire them for 250.
It's going to be about 400 or 450 for
that same person. Maybe 350 but $400 a
month for a full-time person who you can
teach to do all kinds of stuff and their
English is good you'll never have
communication problems. The only thing is,
you just have to teach them. You have to
teach them how to do what you're
currently doing in order to get time
back. You can hire them to do things that
you don't know how to do but that
doesn't gain, gain,you time. Which is the
fixed asset that we all lose. You
can never get back. You can only just
create more of it for yourself by giving
up your current work. So, let me give you
a couple things with this because it has
to be done a certain way. I've seen too
many people try this all kind of
different ways and it only works under
certain conditions.
so condition number one this has to be
done in the Philippines. This won't work
with other cultures. You can't say, "hey I
know someone in Mexico or in Brazil or
in Thailand or Vietnam or whatever. Hey
I'll go hire them." This will work in the
Philippines only because of a certain
of cultural things that exist in the
Philippines that make this really
functional. Now that's not a hundred
percent true but I would say in 98% of
situations, the only way you're going to
make this work is by hiring some from the
Philippines. Second condition you've got
to hire them full time. And I know most
of you listening or you say, "oh man I
can't have someone full-time. I don't
have enough work for them, I can't keep
them busy and enough that I can't afford
it." you can never get this back get your
time back unless you hire someone
full-time and start teaching them how to
do everything you can think of in your
business. So condition number one in the
Philippines, condition number two hirer
then full-time. Condition number three is
you can't hire a contract worker or a
freelancer.
If you hire someone who's, who isn't
full-time with you who they're working
for other jobs, they're doing a small
task for you, you will never be able to
step away from what you're doing and
have them take it over for you. So it
cannot be a contract worker or a
freelancer if you're going to get your
time back it has to be a full-time
long-term worker in the Philippines.
Condition number four, you have to be
patient with this. I had a guy recently
who came to me said, "hey I want to hire
someone in the Philippines. I want him
full-time. I need time back in my life"
and I said. "great" here's this guy, this
never happens to me
because when someone finds someone full
time in the Philippines that's amazing.
They keep him, they keep him permanently
full-time working for themselves. And I
just happen to have someone whose
business was changing enough that he had
this guy who was amazing working for him
and he said, "hey John I can't use this
guy right now can you find him another
job". So. which this doesn't happen to me.
At the same time I had this guy come to
me who said, "hey, I am ready to do this" So
I hooked the two of them together and it
lasted one day. And the guy came back and
said ah this isn't going to work because
this guy can't do everything it is not
perfect and and it took him too long. And
I was like, number one, I know this guy
is good, because I know his previous
employer and who's worked for him for
years, and I know he's good at stuff.
Number two, you didn't even give it a
chance. Like, you gave him one task and it
took him longer than you thought and
maybe your instruction sucked and so it
you just gave it, gave up.
If you're going to make this work and get your time back
it's going to require patience.
It's going to require you working with
someone in the Philippines and teaching
them how to do what you want and being
patient with them when they do it wrong,
and, and giving them positive feedback
and building a relationship with that
person because it's a long-term thing if
you really want to get your time back,
this long-term thing. So for me, the first
person I hired was 11 years ago. He still
works for me today and he's amazing
today. He can do anything I want but I've
been through all kinds of stuff with him.
I've taught him how to do things, I've
been patient with him when he's had
problems in his life. It's going to
require patience and it's going to
require you teaching them how to do
things that you know how to do or
teaching them how to do things that you
want done. It's going to require you
being patient when things don't get done
right and you providing feedback. So if
you're the kind of person is like, "oh
this just doesn't work"
this isn't going to work for you. If you
need perfection the first time, this
isn't going to work for you. But if
you're willing to work with someone and
realize, "hey this is a human being who is
working for me on my business at super,
super affordable rates",
this can work.
Alright if you made it to
the end of this video, you've got it.
you understand the real value in this.
That this is, I've been outsourcing for
over seven years now. John, you said eleven.
Yeah. So, my life is so drastically
different
it is literally as if I had gone in a
time machine and gone back. You gotta try
this. So remember to live on purpose, make
a difference, and be the hero.
