Great responses! I rise at 4 am daily. 5:30 am is sleeping late. There is much to be done, and not enough time to do it, especially if you have family obligations and a day job other than RE. 

@Devin Mann, do you journal? Pray? Meditate? If nothing else, use that quiet time in the morning to THINK - not just about today, but next week, next month, strategize/plan your next move...and the next one after that. 15-30 minutes every day will go a long way towards putting you head and shoulders above your competition no matter your industry. Get after it!

I'm not sure I can add much to what's already been said, other than to echo the thoughts of @Travis Thornton and @Kevin Harrison. As an attorney myself, I have had numerous clients tell me they'd like for me to prepare a document (form, contract, etc) that they can modify for later use, which is fine, as long as you know I may not be able to pick up the pieces after the storm. Just note that there is a reason you pay a professional to manage an issue/handle a matter on your behalf. He/she will be tuned in and looking for stuff that you may miss. At some point, this document may become outdated, or some loophole may pop up warranting a change to the form that you won't know about it. I believe in you personally doing the thing that you do best or an expert at, and surrounding yourself with a team to handle the rest. If you are happy with his work and service, you may be better served negotiating a lower rate, or some sort of sliding scale than trying to do this on your own and mucking something up. 

Dave, count me in!
