I own my business and work 40 hours per week. Most entrepreneurs I know keep a similar schedule. It's entirely dependent on your workload, your industry, your staff, your efficiency, and a bunch of other stuff.
I know I worked way more hours when I worked in Marketing for a publicly traded company. Suppers at the office. Weekend requirements. 24/7 on call. Certain seasons where I'd by at the office 14 hours per day. Half the reason I went out on my own was to get away from the hours.

Was it only 40 hours a week when you started out? I know I was definitely putting in 70+ hours in the early years. I'm down to about 25-30 hours a week now, but it took 20+ years to get to that. Different businesses will be different of course, but in the early stages of most businesses you'll have a lot on your plate.
