  Well, like I said, that sounds like a good idea-for some people. But, for what I spend so much of my time doing on the phone, I&#160;`m not sure a&#160;VA would be a savings to me. I am in such an obscure field that a VA, even with extensive train]]></description>

  Andrew,
  I`m trying to arrive at a dollar figure that represents what one hour of my time is worth. Let`s suppose it turns out to be $30.00/hr. With that in mind, if I&#160;am quoted a price to do&#160;some repair work on one of my ma]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Rich,
When you say 100% efficiency I believe you are saying `selling a service and being able to bill your customers 100% of the time`. Small (one or two individuals), yes or very close to 100% anyway. They have a contract, get paid by the hou]]></description>

  Andrew,
  I see you are in business management, have you ever actually seen a business that operates at 100% efficiency? Or, are you suggesting that with employees doing all the non-essential work, I could come close to that myself?]]></description>
