@JoanMuschamp(Fagnani) I think the basic rule of thumb here is time management and skills.  You delegate what is taking the most of your time (whether you like to do it or not) and you delegate that which you have little skills and expertise at.  Since I am a VA, I find clients who have identified what is holding them back timewise and those skills they either have to take the time to learn or delegate to those who already have that expertise.  If you take a week and document what you are doing and how much time you are spending on each task, you can clearly see where you are losing time and delegate.

@joanmuschampfagnani I too am in the same position as you Joan. I have done some research and have concluded to be successful we need to provide a system of processes for the workers. Education is key perhaps setting up a wiki or use basecamp as base to house your training videos, A good tool to use here is screensteps.com to record the steps in the process to ensure these repetitive steps are followed. 
I found this wonderful resource that really got me thinking about the methodology. I find that I have always gone back here to refresh what I have learnt.

I agree with @dcoville001 about tracking your activities and time spent on them for one-two weeks.

Also, this formula may help you: How much is one hour of your time worth/your hourly rate? Then, can the task you are thinking about outsourcing be completed by someone else for less?

Letting go of the details so you can concentrate on revenue generating work is essential to your success, but sometimes it is easier said than done. Building trust in any relationship takes time, so I suggest listening to your gut. Look at several virtual assistants’/administrative consultants’ websites, social media profiles, blog content, LinkedIn profile and recommendations. If you like what you see and think the two of you may be an ideal fit, schedule a consultation. 

I also recommend two directories to help with your search: Administrative Consultants Association and IVAA.

@joanmuschampfagnani  That’s exactly right care must be exercised. Just jumping into this is a recipe for disaster. Creating a well thought out approach is tantamount to success. The things that are rinse and repeat chores that consume time should be out-sourced such as forum posts. Have the team source out likely posts that need your expertise. Send these to you then you could do audio responding to all these posts then they can transcribe and post them.

Or blog posting have them add the posts to your calendar then you could do the final edit before posting or just do the managing and have someone do the final edit and posting.

The thing these repeat jobs that rob you of your time are big productivity wasters.  I can’t remember who said this and I’ll try to phrase it correctly but if you don’t have an assistant then you are one.
