I work a 40 hour week in PAYE, I run two websites and I'm finishing off a part time degree at uni. I need the day to be extended beyond 24 hours right now  :D

I dont really. I'm procrastinating right now as I can't be bothered doing the coursework I'm meant to be doing  :)

I work self employed as a driver delivering parcels during the day and have 3 websites running currently all selling wholesale not dropship.

I've not yet found my way forward into dropshipping as last year i closed my bricks and mortar shop and took my 3 business's internet based however doing this has increased my competition 100 fold if not more.

I've currently got a load of stock and a website for sale on ebay with the idea of someone being able to give it more time than i can currently commit to and really make a go of it but i'm not sure how many people have got the money around at the moment to buy a large amount of stock plus website, supplier list plus logo's, paperwork letterheads etc.

Gotta keep looking forward however time is such a valuable thing, the kids were off school this week and i spent 55 hours just doing the parcel job let alone the websites and my other work so i could do with releasing one of them to give me more of a chance with the others.

I currently do 13 hours a week shelf stacking at tescos - this money goes straight into the business to help build it further.
I do 25 - 50 hours a week bookkeeping self-employed (the hours depend on the week/month) - This money pays for the mortgage etc and any spare goes into my online business.
My site takes up between 2 - 8 hours a day at the moment depending on what time I have available.  Luckily I can live on little sleep as some days I need to spend extra time on my site even if all the hours in the day have been used up, but running your own business is so very addictive.

I am slowly cutting down my clients and should soon be in a normal PAYE job which will give me more time for my site, they are fully aware of my site and appreciate that as my business grows I will be dropping my hours with them.

Hi there,

I work 9:00am to 5:00pm at my proper job!! and then I do a couple of hours a night on the computer. My emails get delivered to my BlackBerry so I guess I am always on the job.

I work a full time job doing 12 hour night shifts. Usually get around 5/6 hours sleep then up and sorting various household chores whilst n the pc. I also run 3 sites at present although dropping to 2 shortly. As for days off they are getting less and less :(
I am fortunate that my job permits me to use my laptop during the shift so can do most work then.

Hours in a day .... need more ...... hours in a week ....... too many ........ hours in a month ........ you don't want to know  :D

I am currently working 7 days a week around 8am until 8pm gave up a part time job to work for myself and never worked so hard.

Like someone else said i find it addictive though, seeing the business's grow is great :-)

Running 3 business's is hard work but loving it

Currently I work 7 days a week on both my website and my other home based business that I do. I start work around 9am every morning, have an hour break to see my husband off to work around 10am them work right through until midnight doing both jobs.

My website will be live from the 1st March so have to make sure everything is as i want it to be. The only time I don't work even if like now I am full of flu is the one weekend a month that I am lucky enough to get my son home from his residential placement.

I put in a lot of hours but I never thought business would be easy..lol

I work nights the same as Bob, although not 12 hour shifts, but I do live half hour away from work so thats an hour round trip every night.

I also run 4 sites at present and spend the rest of the time looking after my 3 year old daughter, helping people of forums.
