What could you possibly be doing for 60 hours a week in Real Estate?  I've never worked hours like that and never ever intend to.  Like Joe Pryor said, I would need to reevaluate my systems and results.  But, every market is different as is every business.  With it being dark at 4pm these days and working around snow and ice, it becomes a bit trickier.

A little shorter because many people are busy with holiday related activities, and it's hard to show some properties ( especialy land) in the dark since many people don't get home until after 5:00 which is when it's almost dark around here this time of year.
