Now to look at my schedule and figure out what else to delegate. Sure I am doing to many $10 an hour activities and putting off $100 or even $1000 an hour activities. Still can't wrap my head around $10k, so will stick with $1000 as my near term target.

That's fine to stick to $1000, however the way you want to look at it is this; anything that saves you 100s of hours in one fell swoop, is a $10k task, like hiring a team of people to do something.
Or working on anything that could yield you a decent passive income. So let's say you have an idea for a book, or programming a computer game. Both those things might yield you tens or hundreds of thousands, maybe more.
Obviously I'm being a bit creative when I say $10k, however valuing your time like this is a good mindset to get into.
When you do, you make sure that you will never be one of those people who queue round the block for 3 hours just to get $10 off an item.
People do this sort of thing all the time, because they don't properly assess how much that 3 hours is worth to them. Just on a base level, there are examples of people who earn $20 per hour, who are prepared to do that 3 hour wait for a ten bucks saving.
Instead they should spend the tenner, and then go and do something more productive with that few hours.

I've been in the resale game for a long time and just recently...and I mean in the last few days started a new venture that is residual based and using the power of Amazon for my sales. Getting my feet wet now, but for sure will hire out the design side and other tasks that can be done by VA's once I figure out the systems that need to be in place. Hard to hire someone until you understand what you are doing first.
The people that drive all around town to save a few bucks vs buying everything at one store don't value their time or factor is the cost of maintaining a car or the gas spent. They think they saved money when in reality they probably lost money and worse they lost valuable time. Anyone can apply their spare time to tasks that will generate income.
These days even going to one store many times is counter productive vs just ordering online. While I hate to see the local store close their doors, it's hard economically to justify driving to a store hoping they will have what I want vs just ordering online and getting free shipping.
