I don't know if he was saying this as a joke or what, but I definitely will refer these clients over. I only have six clients in the PT status and most are one-time projects once a month (data entry, calendar management, etc.) I really only have him and another client that I keep up with on a daily basis.
Can you do his work on a part time basis?
Most of his work will be managing or as @marlene stated "project managing." I think the majority of my work will be finding sub-contractors underneath me, inform them of work, and then making sure the job is completed. The remaining is managing his invoices, email, etc.
Lastly, has he given you an outline of what he expects, how much time each project will take, etc. And, is we willing to sign a contract in advance?
His outline are emails on a daily basis and then we have a call in which we discuss his emails. He has no idea how much time his project will take, but knows how much he is willing to pay a sub-contractor and what their skillsets should be. He has already signed a contract with me and doesn't mind signing another one in the future, if needed.
I'm sure other VAs will pipe in also. Please keep us all posted.

Hi Ladies!
Thanks for the insight, although I do welcome additional feedback on this. The reason I stated "forced" is I guess I started my VA business in August 2008 of last year and didn't expect the clientale to increase at this rate. I was thinking at least a year before anything EXCITING happens LOL
Although, this is good news - I probably just need to do my research and keep as a sole VA business and maybe be the "project manager" as @marlene stated. I never thought of it that way versus being multi-VA. I'll see what other research I can come up with.
You guys are the best!
