My why for this mentorship and for me establishing my notary business is to create more income for myself on the side and maybe full time income in the future and have a skill on the side that is recession/sickness/AI proof because in these days in times you need to have skills that cannot be easily replicated by technology as with being a notary you have to be a human. I have been a licensed notary for the past 3 years in the state of Pennslyvania but was not gaining a lot of traction in gaining business and I even used thumbtack but I was paying more fees for clients then receiving more return on investment as some of the clients would back out due to not wanting to pay my fees or not being sure about whelther or not they wanted to hire me even though I had great reviews of my services but my reviews were still very few. But besides that I have been able to make a little bit of money on the side from doing this business and doing field inspections but not as much as I would like. So now I am in the process of starting over in the state of Ohio after deciding to move back home to Cleveland to be closer to my family after 3 years of living in Pittsburgh PA due to a failed relationship. A few years ago I was referred to get into this industry by another business teacher who told me about their path about being a notary on the side while working their other job as a financial consultant and I have been on this journey ever since which also helped me to get into this. So I am greatful to Ms. Locke for having this program so I can learn how to be a better notary and businesswoman especially when it comes to marketing for my business and doing the notarial acts better.
