Sorry to get off topic, but this comment ties into a conversation I was having tonight with another new solo contactor. How many hours can one realistically bill in a week as a solo? Also, I've read the books, but prefer to see how others maximize their billable time and minimize the administration/marketing time. Any ideas? Thank you.

Your own business needs 8 to 15 hours of your time just to stay open. Add in a few more hours each week for personal growth time and you end up with no time left for family & beer.
