Everyone always asks me how did i get started with my notary business / what made me decide to get into this field. So I thought, why not put it here & share with you all. Well, It all began when I started working at a private law firm as a personal assistant doing some paralegal work. I soon became a bonded notary, at the request of my employer because of the high need of documents notarized. With most of our clients being elderly or working normal 9-5 hours, I began meeting with clients outside of work hours for notary work. I even traveled to meet some clients, who then gave me a tip for traveling out. My employer at the time was perfectly aware and supportive of my small venture, & after family found out I was a notary word of mouth truly began to take off. I quickly created a unique name for my business, got cards made & was passing out business cards everywhere I went. The rest is history. I’m always learning new things about the industry, & I try to stay organized & follow the plan. Thanks for reading... hope this inspires someone to get started with their ideas. Feel free to let me know your comments/questions or how you made it official in business!
