🌍 The "Local Is Better" Myth Is Choking Your Growth
Ok, so today I want to go over one of the biggest myths I see business owners fall for. The belief that a local hire is automatically better than someone working overseas.
I'm writing this because I run into it constantly. A founder is convinced that a worker sitting in an office down the road is somehow more capable than someone working halfway across the world. And that belief, more than anything, is quietly choking their business.
Usually it comes from a story they heard. A buddy hired some freelancer overseas, the work was bad, the person disappeared, and now the whole hemisphere is written off. One bad experience and the door slams shut.
But let's be real for a second. Have you ever hired a bad local employee? Have you ever been ghosted by a local contractor? Have you ever paid top dollar for someone down the street who handed you mediocre work? Of course you have. We all have. Bad hires exist in every zip code on the planet.
Blaming an entire region for one bad experience is not a talent problem. It's a hiring problem. And most of the time, it's a leadership problem too.
Here's the truth I've landed on after years of doing this. Talent is talent, and talent is borderless. When you only hire within 20 miles of your office, you're fishing out of a tiny puddle when there's a whole ocean sitting right there. So let me walk you through how I actually think about this.
