    I am 61 years old and was Retired by my job 2 weeks ago. As a result I am going to start my Notary business and am so glad I found your video. You made some excellent points that I am taking to heart. Thank you so much for your transparency and honesty. Please wish me luck in this new endeavor.

      I advise look at the need in your area with local offices I've had so much trouble starting in Southern Mass. The text blasts are not accepting my "yes." I am in an attorney state and did not absorb what that meant. Go to horse's mouth before you study & spend on anything.

      @@lindaherard6249 I am also 55. Just starting to learn about the business. I am ready to soak up ALL the knowledge I can. INCLUDING social media! It can be intimidating I know that, however, we are absoluty able to learn new things.
      Just breath and take it one step at a time.
      Keep watching videos on You Tube about things you don't understand yet. It works.
      Best of luck to you, although I KNOW you've GOT THIS!

    I have been in the banking industry for 10 years and was a public notary for many early years in my career. I can’t believe I never thought about doing this as a business… I already have all the knowledge for loan signing and a lot the knowledge for apostle work. Your videos are great, I appreciate the transparent and factual information.
    I am curious to see the breakdown of your expenses vs your income and what those margins actually look like. Also, you’ve mentioned in some of your videos E & O insurance, can you do a segment on this and breakdown why it’s needed?

    Thank you for the great advice. I'm just getting started and want to know how you put together your business plan. I retired after 25 years in a career. Prior to that, I had 7 years experience in escrow with two terms as a notary for the escrow companies. So, I lack small business experience. I'm willing to learn and work hard because I am a single mom with two teenagers still at home. Thank you in advance for any additional advice.
