So I was definitely not passionate about becoming a notary public. In fact I did it. Because I was, again, it was at a down and out moment in my life. And a friend of the family said, Hey, why don't you become a notary? And I'll throw you some deals of being alone, signing agent.
I had no idea what I was doing. And I really thought this was a cool little inside thing that nobody else was doing. I thought we were inventing something but little did I know there's this entire entity? I didn't learn that until several years into it. And I always had one foot out the door in this space.
I treated it like an ATM machine and the money was good. I get in, I'd make, if I needed 2,500 bucks, I made 2,500. If I needed a thousand, I made a thousand, whatever it was. And then I go and pump that money into my other big ideas. And then once those started petering out several years into my notary business, I said, Why not?
A friend of mine actually said it over a beer. She's oh my gosh, you have gone through all of this. Why don't you focus your energies on this business? And when I started to do that's when things really started to change for me.
Yeah. We always focus on all the things that are sexy, but may not make any money and, If you're focused, if you're making money, without hardly even trying on the notary business. And I don't mean to take that away from you, but that's a no brainer.
Yeah.
it's something I took for granted. I didn't, know, I did a lot of damage to relationships in there and now I'm so glad that I've had that. Because this business has introduced me to some of the most incredible people I have ever met. I consider them friends, not just clients or students. And we really have something beautiful going.
I still pinch myself. I'm still, I'm like, is it legal to make this much money doing something that is now so easy for me in the beginning? It certainly wasn't. And then. Just feel so good about stuff and just keep spreading the word and knowing that there's this abundance that we can help other people, we can help each other do this work.
And it really is it's and that's why I have those three tenants for this that you mentioned in the beginning, it offers you a flexible schedule, unlimited income, and it's a legit business. It's old-fashioned too. And I think that's why I like it. There's no BS. It's you work and you get paid, you don't have to recruit people.
You don't have to sell product that people don't want. You don't need an inventory. It's just a good old fashioned business it's been around for. Depending on who you ask, thousands of years,
