Thanks. This question helped me decide on how many hours I would like to work and how many billable hours to strive for. This was good info.

I'm so accustomed to working an 80+ work week, that I feel guilty about working only 40or so. Of course, my DH thinks I am living the life. LOL

Planning on spending 15-20 hours a week on this at first and build it from there. I am sure I could put more hours to it but need to spend some time with my family also.

Currently, I downsized a bit during the summer and have been doing about 15-20 billable hours weekly. Once kids are back in school in August, I'll ramp up again and try to shoot for 30 billable hours average.

I just started my own business, so log about 2-5 billable hours per week. I am optimistic that it will pick up soon. I have already been sent two referrals!

I typically bill out approximately 20 hours per week right now. I'm thinking of looking for another client to hopefully get me to about 30 hours per week.

I can completely relate. The few clients I do have currently do not have steady hours, either. Keep chugging along, we will all get what we deserve shortly!

What Book are you talking about? If I may ask. I only have one client and a few inquiries. I know it takes time and patience - but how did you built your clientel?

I am just starting out with my VA business; however, I have been telecommuting for the last two years. I currently work 40 hours per week. My goal is to build up to 20 hours per week of billable hours with my VA business. Additionally, my plan is to convert my employer to a client within the next year.

Since I just started I work about 2-5 billable hours per week and then endless hours just setting up the business. I hope to increase the billable to 15-25 a week.
