Probably no more than 3/4 hours. After that, I find that the quality of code goes down significantly. Of course, this would be different if this 3/4 is spreadout throughout the day with other "filler" jobs in between.

It took us about year and a half, as a side project to breakeven at http://startuplift.com - That being said, we did pivot a couple of times and keep changing the product, offer and pricing. We started at the beginning of 2011 and it's not almost middle of 2014. I recently quit my job and investing myself full-time, and now I feel we are finally getting closer to our 'sweet spot'. Should've have quit a long time ago, when I started seeing some intitial interest.

Jason brings up a very good point. Especially the first part (where people tend to dislike tough criticisms) resonated very well with me because - my startup, StartUpLift.com - specializes in providing crowdsourced feedback to startups. One of the features that we offer to startups is that they can reject any feedback / feedback provider at no cost to them. It's interesting to note that more than 65% of the rejection happens when when they get some sort of negative feedback, which in fact is a disguised constructive criticism.
