Maximum Client Hours

Friday was a 6 hour day, and that means 6 billable hours which I spent working with clients. When you're just starting out and don't have too many voice- and e-mails to answer, you might be able to handle 6 hour days. Remember that a 6-billable-hours-day really turns into an 8 hour day when you include travel time to and from clients. And then you still have office work to do. A more reasonable schedule for consultants includes an average of 4 billable hours per day. That turns into a 5 hour day including travel time and you still have time to do office work.
