2 jobs for me.... I work 40 hours/wk at Macys selling women's shoes and then the skating rink on friday and saturday nights as a skate guard. i deal with women every day of the week all day...... Saturday, i mow lawns on the side and paint with a friend. Roughly 60-70 hrs a week in total.

 

between 40-60hrs/week

 

My life and work are one. It all meshes into one. I never really quit thinking about the business. I get to the office around 8am and leave at 2am. Lately that includes weekends as the company continues to grow. But I'm in and out all day as well.

Some days I work straight through, other days I shop and do random daily tasks. But the business is always involved at some point and time. I enjoy what I do, so it never really seems like work, and it's hard to define what's life and what's work.

Owning the business allows me to also take off when I want or need. As for a family and a wife, I'm really not worried about it. I focus on putting myself and my future in a solid financial situation for early retirement. Plus, I'm just having too much fun to even consider it.

I figure I'll settle down around 40 when I find a woman who is in her early 30's. She's done with the bar scenes and bullshit, she's been through some ups and downs, and knows what's important in life and what's not.

PS, I'm 29.

 

If you didnt have work and had a good income,what would you do to keep yourself busy?

 

hanging in hookah lounges, dealerships, trying a new restruant all the time, visiting family I don't normally see, go to the mountain house more often, go to the beach more....

 

I work when it is necessary; If I were to equate it to hours, I suppose it would be maybe 25-35 hours?

 

Depends. Around Christmas I'm at 40 hours or so. During construction season Feb thru November it's more like 50-70 per week.

 

40

 

me too. I'm an hourly contractor, and they don't want to pay me time and a half. It'd be quite a nice hourly rate if they did, but I work 9-5 and don't have to take a lunch like the exempt people. I am literally only obligated to be here for 40 hrs.

 

60-70 hours a week depending on season.

 

^^ It has its moments. They pay me a higher hourly rate than the regular employees would average, but I have just a few paid days off and holidays are unpaid - fortunately, there aren't that many holidays this company observes.

I also don't have a Lambo or an NSX or motorcycles owned by famous people, so there's that.

 

You have to negotiate that when you do your contract or come on board with the consulting firm. I am a consultant and negotiated my salary plus any hours over 40 I get paid my bill rate. I get 3 weeks paid vaca, 5 sick days, all the holidays the client has and benies paid 100%. It works out for both me and the consulting firm because I love to work and if I get paid I will work the 40+ hours and they have a happy client, happy worker and they are happy because they are still billing me out prob a crazy rate.

 

I work 40hrs a week, only because they don't like overtime. I wouldn't mind working 80+ for the money though

 

About 1 1/2 hours a day

 

I go to bed @ 2 am and wake up at 7 am and work straight everyday...

you have to love what you do.... that"s 5 hours sleep 19 hours a day.

old rule you work triple for yourself so you don't have to work 9-5 for someone else...

but with technology... one can play and get away... but me i take it with me... so even if I don't step foot into my office I'm still working...

My wife, friends and business colleagues think I work very little and make way too much. That may be true to SOME extent NOW, but it took a lot of hard work (and a good measure of luck now and then) to get to this point.

 

Working for someone else you will never have true balance...you will either be broke on time or broke on money. 80-100 hr per week executives have good bank accounts but no life and teachers have nice off time and no money. #justsayin Only way to get in balance is to get out of balance to start with and put in the time to get where you want to go. One of my mentors taught me that when starting a new business or job don't change a thing....no moves,no new cars, no new house notes, no kids, stay simple and frugal til you get to where you want to be. It takes a lot of prior planning to get thw balance that you are wanting.

 

50-80 given what comes around with the detailing business, and about 10-20 at a night job to help with taxes and bills.

I also have another venture in the first stage of planning right now with a few other people, so thats about to start taking up even more time that I dont have already. I feel that a few sleepless nights are coming in order to get things to take off. Plus trying to buy a house right now, and keep the detailing business booming with emails and promotional work (the business side instead of the technical side), then the express detailing business start up....I figure the next 6 months are going to be hell for me, but its all for the future is what I keep telling myself!

Good thing I forced myself to book a 9 day costa rica trip at the end of the month for a little R&R!!!!

 

as of tomorrow our first set of ad's go out, so i will have my fulltime work, then as soon as i get home ill be working on my new business. im expecting 12-14 hour days.

 

84 hours a week, 168 bi weekly = 88 hr overtime each PP..

 

40 hours per week..good thing is i don't work fri,sat, and sunday

 

40-50 hours usually, 60-70 around the major holidays and I always take the last sunday off every month just to get some relax time in.

 

The key to building wealth is leverage...I only focus about 15-20 hours a week but everyone shares in each other's efforts, so if 10 people are doing 20 hours a week, I'm getting paid for 200 hours worth of work, you can't do that on your own.

I'm by no means claiming to be wealthy, I'm not there yet, but working on it.

 

Who taught you math? Unless you have 20 slaves you are not making 20 x to your one.

Also how is it the key to wealth if you don't have it? Your key is definitely wrong.

 

About 60. Car sales.

 

You show me a position where I get 100% credit for 10 other peoples work (i.e.; my team) and I'll send you my CV. I want to work there.

Again, 9 women can't have a baby in 1 month.

If a "team" of people work 1000 hours, and you personally work 5 hours as head of the team, your net/net of "how many hours a week do you work" is not 1005 hours. That's gorilla math that doesn't add up.

 

I'm not here to solicit, if you want information I'd be happy to send it to you via email. The math is patented & trademarked, over 200 companies have tried to copy it, and failed. There are elements that make it possible within the structure of the system. It doesn't add up in traditional business and how we are taught, of course I agree with that.

But this is not traditional business.

 

OK, whatever. Have it your way.

 

Been working so far lol...all of my friends who I graduated college with are struggling to find jobs, and I didn't even look for one, but they didn't want to listen. I have automatic respect for anyone on this forum and I'm sure you're successful, probably moreso than I am. But part of being successful is accepting the possibility for new things that may not have crossed your path yet, and being open minded enough to give them a chance. Just my opinion.
