Most offshore hires don't fail because of the person you hired — they fail because the business wasn't actually ready to hire offshore. After 10+ years helping hundreds of business owners build offshore teams, I'm sharing the biggest mistakes I see over and over again, and exactly what to do differently so your next hire actually works.

In this episode, I break down the EVS Client Success System — the framework we use to help our clients achieve a 92% client success rate — plus a real client story from Lauren Murray on how it worked for her business.

Chapters:

• 0:00 – Intro: Why offshore hires really fail
• 0:47 – Meet Francesca Moi
• 3:13 – Segment 1: Why offshore relationships fail before they begin
• 7:33 – Segment 2: Why great people sometimes don't work out
• 9:55 – Client story: Lauren Murray's experience
• 12:57 – Segment 3: Why businesses feel lost after hiring
• 14:31 – Segment 4: Why long-term success needs more than recruitment
• 16:14 – The one lesson to remember

If this episode gave you even one idea to help you build a business that thrives with or without you, I've done my job. Go implement one thing you heard today.

In this episode, we sit down with Fiona Cullen — former elite athlete turned founder of Performistry — to talk about building a leadership training business, the mindset shifts required to lead well, and what it actually looks like to hire and work with offshore support.

Fiona shares her journey from competing internationally as a sprinter and bobsledder to building a leadership consultancy that's trained over 2,000 people, why confidence (not skill) is the #1 thing leaders struggle with, and the real story of onboarding her virtual assistant — including the mistakes, the mindset shifts, and the results.

If you're a business owner thinking about hiring offshore support, or a leader wanting to build real confidence in your team, this conversation is packed with practical insight.
