Set The Scene

I am in San Jose, California, at an intense training to help me deliver more value through my business. My buddy Zion, founder of The Triple Threat Artist, joined me as well, and we’ve been having power lunches to digest and process the information we’ve learned.

Not having a car, we’ve relied on Lyft to taxi us around to our lunchtime adventures. We found this kind of cool place, called Rok, about a 7 minute car ride from our hotel.

Resources: The 5 Key Steps to Starting & Building a Mobile Notary and Loan Signing Business

 

We went over a lot on Saturday, and we promised some resources. We aim to deliver those in this email/blog post.

We broke down the resources by step, so they are easy for you to find. Please know that this is not a definitive plan. There are many routes and resources available to you. Just because we don't mention a particular one, doesn't mean they wouldn't be a good resource for you. That said, please be wary of any organization that promises business in exchange for a fee.

Most people start a business on a shoestring budget, so where you spend your money matters. There are some really great companies out there that can help you, and, unfortunately, there are some companies that over-promise and under-deliver. Our webinar today can help guide you through that and then these resources will help get you started without spending unnecessary dollars.
