Joseph grew up in the Bronx with more ambition than sense. For years, he jumped from one business idea to the next, working 80 hour weeks and doing everything himself. He was drowning.
He knew he needed help, but hiring locally was too expensive. His attempts to outsource on Upwork and Facebook usually ended the same way: wasted money, missed deadlines, and him doing the work anyway.
But Joseph didn’t quit. Through trial and error (and a lot of frustration), he figured out a system that actually worked. He found VAs who showed up, cared about the work, and stuck around.
That's when everything changed. With reliable help handling the busy work, Joseph could finally focus on growing. He built a team of 13 agents at Compass and personally closed $240,000 in GCI, even during one of the toughest real estate markets in recent memory.
Now, he runs GoHireRetire, helping entrepreneurs hire skilled VAs for $5–$7/hour so they can take back their time and scale without burning out.
