I was at 3 hours + when I first started tuning for money, but I got results 
I could live with. The time went down to 2.25 hours within the first year, 
and stayed there a lot longer than that, unless I had reasons to hurry.

Can you produce a decent tuning, which you and the customer both can 
approve? And can you deal with common small repairs and/or have technical 
backup for when you find yourself in beyond your depth?

Tuning stability may not be the greatest when you first set out. I know of 
no shortcuts for learning how to provide a rock-solid tuning.

YMMV
