Notary Coach

Hey, I know how it is when you're starting up a new business. Money is tight! And, you don't want to, or can't, spend unnecessary dollars.

Some of you are just trying to see if this thing will work out before you lay down some cash for a website. I get it. And, you set yourself up for failure by waiting too long. It's a viscious cycle because if you wont' build a website until you know this business is real,  then your customers can't find you, so your business fails, so you don't build a website...

At some point, you'll have to have a website. Even though you don't have to have a professional website from day one, you will need a digital presence, like a Facebook page.  Just some way a customer can find you online. 

Here are three alternatives to paying for a professional website:

For all three options, you will need a domain name, or web address for your business. These can be easily purchased through any domain registrar, like Go Daddy.

Signing Schedule

So grateful for an amazing team that is covering my siginings for the rest of the week. I'll be traveling to San Jose, California tomorrow for a very intense training, and I have peace of mind knowing that my clients are in good hands. Thank you to the students of Sign & Thrive who have helped make that happen! We are approaching the end of the month, and purchase-money signings are through the roof!

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. Rok is unique in that it serves your steak on a 700 degree volcanic rock, and it literally cooks in front of you, giving you total control of your taste experience. We enjoyed it so much, we actually had lunch here two days in a row.

Meet Our Two Drivers

On each day, we had two different Lyft drivers, both drove a Prius. So we are all clear, these are two people who drive for the same company, in the same city, in the same style of car. Lots of similarities, and some pretty glaring differences. Check this out.

 Flexible Schedule

One of the best things about this business is the flexible schedule. You can work around your kid's sporting events, your day job, or your passion hobby of ice bowling. You get to decide which jobs to take, or not take. That said, there are soem considerations you should be aware of.

As a loan signing agent, many mortgage loan closings occur during regular business hours, 8-5 Monday through Friday. There are still plenty that occur in the evenings and weekends, but knowing this can help you structure your business model. There are essentially three main business models to choose from.

Business Models

Two, you can hustle for business directly from Escrow Officers/Closing Agents.  This cuts out...
