I was watching the movie St. Vincent. In it, Bill Murray, plays an old burnout. I happened to notice the Carleton Sheets "Quick Start" in his stack of old tapes in his TV stand.

It's a pretty entertaining flick. It also stars Melissa McCarthy. It's on Netflix now if you want to check it out.

This is not a real estate-related flick, other than this tape sighting.

@Scott Trench Thanks for sharing. Valuable analysis.

@Linda Weygant Thanks for sharing

I admit it, I'm a lazy guy at heart and have to work hard to overcome this inclination regularly kicking myself in the pants. 

I thought I would share this Reddit thread I came across. Those who struggle like I do might find some of these tips for getting off your rump helpful.

Thanks for the welcome @Mike W. One thing I could offer a mentor is my experience as a web application developer. I'm sure this can be a value for those engaged in online marketing.

I am a still relatively new investor in Denver. I'm still learning a lot and building my network. I'm very interested in multi-family and commercial real estate. 

I'd love to connect with a mentor.

I was looking at this app Shake (http://www.shakelaw.com/) for handing e-contracts. Has anyone used Shake? Are there other contract apps out there that are really loved?

One thing that has always made me generally distrustful of gurus is the question of what motivates anyone to become a guru in the first place. If the methods and techniques taught are are so great, why waste time teaching? Why not just spend the time doing more deals?

Now, it's obvious that selling courses and mentorships at thousands and thousands a pop is very lucrative. At these rates, it's clear that a guru's motivation is not some altruistic pie-in-the-sky desire to pass on wisdom (not to disparage the pursuit of profits, after all this is why we are all here). There is just this seemingly BS-y aspect to guruism in general. Why not sell a course on how to become a guru?
