		<description>Great links Peter &amp; Suzie.

When using a virtual team, it helps to have a weekly phone call, especially when you are just building the relationship.

Because you and your VA don&#039;t work in the same office, it is hard to hear your frustrations.

Weekly phone calls allow you to review:
- tasks
- travel schedule
- progress on business plan
- barriers/constraints  for meeting goals
- general stress points and frustrations

A VA can use these meetings to learn how you do things and suggest tasks that can be delegated.

If you have multiple team members, see if you can schedule a meeting with everyone at the same time.</description>

		<description>Peter,

Excellent article - thank you. While learning to outsource or delegate tasks may seem time consuming in the beginning as there may be a learning curve or the just time it takes to send off an instructional email, it does become second nature after creating a strong foundation and streamlined process.   You will definitely gain more time in your day once you begin outsourcing on a consistent basis. Any task that does not generate income or focus on your &quot;core genius,&quot; is a prime target for delegation.
