Thanks for the comment. Indeed, the Philippines is certainly my personal destination of outsourcing choice, thats for sure.

Nice to hear from someone else in Cebu, too.

All the best,
Chris

Thank you!

Florante

Look forward to meeting you in Manila in the future.

Congratulations again.

Chris

My HR rep copied somebody else from her department who specializes in that part of the process. The specialist said the same thing you did – they will process the work permit after I actually start work. According to the current plan we’ll be flying to MNL on 8/25.

Thanks, mate – appreciate it.

And everyone, I have a guest post on Matt’s blog tomorrow, so swing over and check it out…!

Cheers,
Chris

I really admire what you’re trying to do here which is very similar to my own goals.

I’m looking forward to hitting it. I have visions of shooting a video or something of my packing up my office into cardboard boxes!!!

Hey, hang on – sounds like an idea for a great post!

Hope all is good in blighty.

Chris

As long as the permit application has been submitted and all fees paid in full, you can actually be here and start working. I’ve done it myself many moons ago. Speak with them, its not a ‘well known’ fact, to be honest.

I think with all the tools at our disposal into internet driven society there is no reason for anyone to be location dependant if they don’t want to be. You’re a testament to how to do it Chris and can’t wait to see you nail this goal in the new year!

I always enjoy dropping by. Hopefully I’ll be dropping by in person one of these days The final details for my Manila (well actually Fort Bonifacio Global City) expat gig are getting worked out. I should be starting sometime within the next couple months depending on how long the work permit process takes.

Its all FAKE, buddy! I’m not that relaxed, trust me!!!!!!!!!! Lol.

Chilling, I dont have a problem with – look forward to hearing what you have to say on the next two videos. The next one goes public in around 8 hours, I believe.

Cheers, buddy.

Chris

Yes, this is the thing – test and test again. So far, so good.

I hear you on the sunburn side of things. I am the same – gotta wear a cap or plenty of sunscreen. Especially on the forehead! Jet-Skiing is awesome fun. Thoroughly love it.

Thanks for dropping by, buddy.

Chris

Glad to hear your plans are moving forward my friend – long live The Anywhere Office and the Virtual Business Lifestyle. Love watching your videos of you working from such exotic locations – you are the most relaxed looking CEO I know!

Looking forward to the other videos in the series – and I haven’t forgotten about that other blog post I owe you!

Keep chilling . . .
Phil

And for those who haven’t been there, if you’re considering a visit to the Philippines, I highly recommend it. The resort that I visited in Cebu was very nice indeed. Too bad I got a wicked sunburn while scaring my nieces and nephews to death on a jetski Note to self: don’t forget sunscreen next time.

The ‘story’ (seems weird saying that!) is going to continue until the end of the year I assure you, it is a plan in progress.

Motivation is the one thing I’ve never really had issues with – nor is passion or the ability to execute. The one issue now is TIME. Too many plans, not enough time… It will come though, and when it does… Boy oh boy, I’m off to the races, I tell ya!

Thanks for the nice comment, I appreciate it.

Chris

I hear ya man, really, I do.

But, the bottom line is that I simple cannot get to launching my other projects and expanding my business empire (there’s a hint on the second video which goes live tomorrow!) if I am stationed in an office everyday.

I’m glad that the post has made you ‘see the light’ a little.

Stay tuned, my man – more to come!

Chris

I’m also looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the next couple of clips, too.

This one has got some nice attention, so hopefully it will follow suit.

Thanks for the comment and for dropping by.

All the best,
Chris

Lovely name, my daughters name, in fact!

Yes, the Philippines has some great beaches and the scuba / snorkeling is awesome! You should visit sometime soon.

Plenty of VAs here, we’ll help you find one, dont worry.

Best,
Chris

Virtual Teacher – so doable, buddy. People learn things online all the time, everyday.

Go looking for the answers, I’m very positive you’ll find them.

Thanks for the comment.

Chris

Nice to hear from you! And thanks for sticking around on my goal, too.

Yep – there’s nothing better than being able to stick your laptop in your bag and work from anywhere!

All the best,
Chris

Thanks a lot Man!
