If you're running a "hands on" service business then don't expect to be able to play golf every second day, or have an afternoon siesta between 1 and 4.

If you charged a flat rate of say $40 per hour then you would need to work 125 hours per month to make $5k. That ends up being about a quarter of your waking hours, or about 4 hours every day (including weekends). If you exclude weekends then you're up to nearly 6 hours every weekday, which is not really that far off a standard 9-5 job.

You're sitting in front of the computer, you appear to have at least basic internet skills, and you're posting to a webmaster board. Why don't you start acting like a webmaster, and build some sites that will make you some money while you sleep.
