It's nice to see how busy you all are. My goal is to get to about 20 hours billable per week in one year from now. I hope with time I'll spend less time on my own stuff and more working for others. I didn't realize how much time I would be spending on my own stuff. There is so much to read and research, I could do that 40hrs/week for sure!

I work FT outside the home so limit myself to 13 billable hours. I have young kids and sometimes it's a challange. I just work around them if I can.

I think when you have a business you're always working. I can say so for myself. It may not be direct but indirect is still work.

I work all of the time. I'm constantly doing research

Sometimes I have to pull myself away from the computer especially VA forums. There's so much useful information and resources available.

I generally work 5 days a week, 6-8 hours a day. So approximately 30-40 billable hours a week.

It's great to see that most everyone has a goal with regard to billable hours. By the end of the year, I want to build my business up to 10 billable hours a week.

Cheers

Glad to see I'm not the only workaholic I bill over 40 hours a week and I subcontract to other VA's as well and actually am going to find another one to add to my team soon - so technically working 40+ for my clients.

I bill anywhere between 15-20 clients a month

Busy but love it!

Warmly
Rachel

Ditto this!

My goal is 10-15 billable hours per week. Still working on it!

Since establishing my business last summer, my billable hours have been all over the place. Most of my clients are individual project based - not retainer...unfortunately. lol. I had one retainer client but had to part ways due to some payment issues.

I've decided 2010 is "the" year so I've really been concentrating on marketing and new ways to run my business. So I normally work at least 35 - 40 hours per week. Actually, it is probably more than that as I am a night owl and often find myself jumping on the computer around 1am. lol.

Much success to everyone!

I usually average 15 to 20 hours a week of which at least 10 are billable.

My goal is to have about 30 billable hours per week in addition to the time that I'm using to promote and market my business.
