The past few years have been one twist and turn after another for Notaries and Loan Signing Agents hasn’t it? It seems like one minute we were all trucking along on a steady course of business and the next we were having appointments thrown at us left and right to the point we were begging for a day off. And now, we are hearing all sorts of stories around the US. Some are saying that they are still very busy despite higher interest rates. Others are saying they’ve seen a huge decline in their Notary work. And, then of course there are going to be those who are saying that they have to get a part-time or full-time job again because it’s not working out for them. Before you check that last box, let us assure that we are ALL still safe and there is still plenty of work to go around. We have done our very best to keep up-to-date with the most important industry topics over the past year. And, through what may seem for some of you to be the biggest twist (higher interest rates slowing down signings), we have still worked hard to bring you some of the most uplifting Notary business guidance we can help you “weather the storms.” We appreciate how so many of you have written to us in thanking us for what we’ve been able to contribute this year. That is why we are taking the entire month of November to take a pause with any more information and remind you that it’s okay to Catch Up To Get Ahead (Hence, The Title). Next month marks a time for goal setting for all business owners for the first quarter of the year, not just for Notary Loan Signing Agents, and you will really want to take the next 30 days to ponder where you are in your Notary career and where you would like to go. If you feel like you are about to check that box for part-time or full-time work again then it’s time to take action. So, if you think you are anywhere close to being on the fence about staying in this industry. Take a deep breath, take a good look around, and know that you are not the only one who might be wanting more business and a little worried about our industry. And that’s okay.
