More hours and lower prices would be a hobby not a business, and not that good of a hobby.
Don't forget to ask all your suppliers to also lower prices, material, insurance, phone, and all your overhead expenses.I don't think you will have much luck getting prices reduced. So why would you want to lower yours. As for hours worked, with all your time invested to learn the trade and stay current, your hours have value.
