I am always amazed by the fact that when I tell people I am a traveling notary they suddenly want to do the same thing. They are surprised I am a mobile notary full-time and tend to believe that since I make a successful living they can do the same.
I wonder if other professionals face the same issue? On one hand it is flattering but on the other it is annoying because you know how much time, effort and expense you have put into building a successful business.
It has taken me almost 5 years to establish myself enough to make a full-time living as a notary. I am constantly thinking of new ways to reinvent myself and of new services I can offer. You never need a notary till you need a notary so it can be a very up and down business.
Just because you become a notary it does not mean that people are going to be suddenly chasing you down for your services. To be successful it takes creativity, planning and a lot of trial and error so research all of your options before you decide to become a notary.
