I was just wondering how many hours a day do you spend on your biz?
I do a power hour, where all I'm doing is returning phone calls and doing follow up calls with my prospects and customers. I also use that hour to phone my new team members. Then I use 2 hrs to do adm work.
Lately however, I've been needing 4-5 hours just to get everything done...I'm not quite ready to go full time in my business yet, although that's my goal. Anyone else spending 4-5 hrs a day working on their biz?

Hi Kesha,
I spend an average of 10 hours a day and have been doing so for years.
Nothing succeeds like obsession.
However, task variety and a balance of choirs, errands, exercise, and other hobbies is critical to good health. I incorporate a bit of everything into each day.

Hi Kesha, I spend anywhere from 4-8 hours a day for my business. Just got a free trip all paid food and airfare to Mexico thanks to my company thanking my for my leadership so it'll give me some time to relax later this year.
Your friend in Truth & Light,
Ronnie Branch

All due respect, Newbie Shield, I disagree with your approach.
You are obviously very passionate about this IM-thing and enjoy it a lot and, if you do, than it might be all right to spend 10 hours a day working the business.
I'm not sure, though, you could be classified as a "typical representative."
To my mind, a "typical representative" of an Internet marketer is somebody who has or is switching from 9 to 5 day job and one of the reasons they do so is because they don't appreciate too much having a productivity level of just one notch above individual self-sufficiency, having to work full time and not being able to do what they actually love.
It wouldn't make much sense to just replace one JOB with another, unless you 1) actually love your new JOB or 2) you have the ability to drastically increase your productivity, but in this case there shouldn't be any need in spending 10 hours a day working.
In my case - I'm honestly doing IM only for the ability to increase my efficiency to the level where I don't have to have any "full time" work to be able to have a lifestyle that I like.
I think, actually, any business model, whether it's a brick-and-mortar or on-line, has a main goal of becoming a self-propelling system, that you had spent time to set up and develop, but eventually it runs with only a minimal involvement from the owner.

I must say around 8 to 12 hours a day during the week give or take. I lose track of time in the forum but really enjoy what I do. One the weekends it is a little more difficult since my husband is home and all my friends are off work. On the weekends I would have to say 2 to 3 hours if I'm lucky.

Interesting discussion. I spend whatever I can squeeze in between teenagers, mom duties, part time job, church activities, and relaxation...some days I am happy to get two - three solid hours in and other days it is a couple 15 minute snatches... 
I am in the process of starting a new SBI site so I will be burning some midnight oil... Have been testing some things and finally have some direction on what I want to do so can't wait to get started...
