After spending time with bus loads of investors the last few years, and I do mean bus loads, I found that most investors have very similar questions regarding their business.

The first of course is "How to get more leads?" There are several great training courses and boot camps that teach lead generation strategies and I'll leave them to answer that question. The very next question out of their mouths is "How do I find the time to take my business to the next level?"

I frequently hear complaints like, "My investment business is not to the point where I can quite my day job and it's nearly impossible to balance work, an investing career, along with family time. Which, spending more time with my family is the exact reason I got into investing in the first place!"

Amazingly, this is one of the most common problems and actually has one of the easiest solutions. Get a virtual assistant! Why? Because you can hire out the mundane or most time consuming task that will cost you a lot of valuable time and NOT a lot of money. A virtual assistant can free up time and let you stay focused on your businesses' core task of finding more deals and look for additional investment strategies to expand into.

We use a virtual assistant and use a very simple question to decide what we do and do not hire out:

"Could I have made more money doing other things with the same amount of time than I would have invested in performing that task?"

If you answer yes, hire it out! This keeps it very simple and to the point. You may find in the beginning it's hard to let go of some of the task you have been performing over the years, but once you see the results pay off, you'll quickly find yourself a more willing participant.

Are you ready for a virtual assistant?

Here are 9 tell-tale signs that not having a virtual assistant is costing your money.

1. You're totally overwhelmed by your business and can't get to the next level
2. Important details are getting missed causing your business to suffer
3. You're not able to stay focused on your core competencies such as finding more deals or expanding into other markets to grow your business
4. You have already made the decision you need an assistant but you work out of your home or office, and simply don't have enough space for an in-house assistant
5. Your business has many "project" based task which can easily be delegated out with little to no instructions
6. You are not technically "savvy" and it makes more business since to hire those tasks out then to take the time to learn them yourself. We can't be an expert at everything
7. You don't have the necessary time to effectively market to find deals and your business has grown stagnate or even worse declined
8. You know you are missing things and you can't do anything about it
9. You understand the importance of delegating
