Michael - I would say at least 8 hrs a day, probably more, and pretty much 7 days a week. However, I do take time off for certain events, personal things I have scheduled, and family things.

I start between 7 and 730am every day and work to 830 to 9pm every night. Prospecting is most often done in between answering the phone, returning emails, showing homes and working on pending sales.
