Delegation could help, but even CEO wouldn't delegate everything, he still need to do what he is required to do. @Jim: Don't worry, it is just the part of the effect from reading the book The Four-Hour Workweek. ;-) I have read the book as well and interviewed the author Tim Ferriss - some of his ideas are pretty provoking.

So good to see people talking about their VAs and how life has been made easier for them. I have been operating for over 13 years now and my main client base consists of business coaches, public speakers and trainers, all of whom know and enjoy the benefits of having virtual assistant support and they also let others know about us too. Good thing for me I have a back up VA team of my own - there's no way I could provide the same service to everyone I come in contact with! Re Michael Gerber - he has some really great information for all entrepreneurs and I was very fortunate to meet him many years ago when he was in Australia just as the internet was raising its head here for business so it must have been around 1995/96. I spent the day with him whilst we worked on the filming for a TV show that was really before its time - about people who work at home. Hey Ryan, here’s your coffee:
