Start Your New Year The Right Way By Developing RON Routines
If you're like most notaries, the start of a new year is a time to reflect on the past and set resolutions for the future. But if you want to be a Remote Online Notary (RON) superstar, it's also a great time to develop routines that will help you be more productive and successful in your work. Here are some tips to get you started.
Set daily, weekly, and monthly goals to help you stay on track
Goal setting is an important skill for success in life. When it comes to staying on track with your business, creating daily, weekly and monthly goals can be a great help. For instance, you might.
Set yourself a goal to send out a certain number of emails every day.
Reach out to new business contacts twice per week.
Make at least three new posts a week on social media.
Attend a Business-Related social event once a month (They don't have to be industry related, just get out there and make new contacts).
Set a goal to take one new class a week on Notary Stars.
Read one new self-help book per quarter.
You don't have to take all these steps listed above, but by consistently setting and implementing daily, weekly, and monthly goals that are appropriate to the task of growing your business, you will be able to stay organized and focused on achieving your long-term aspirations. Taking regular steps forward towards your goals can give you both motivation and reassurance that you are headed in the right direction.
Find a method of organization that works for you and stick to it
Trying to keep yourself organized? Good choice! Everyone leads a busy life and organizing your tasks, projects and goals can be the difference between success and stress. However, it's not easy, so don't let that put you off - it takes time to find a method of organization that works for you.
If you are not already doing so, get yourself an online calendar that you can access from ANYWHERE. Put all of your appointments in there, whether big or small, personal or business.
Consider a calendar scheduling app like Calendly (or any number of others) that seamlessly ties into your new online calendar. Share your scheduling link with your clients, in your email signature or on your website.
If your invoicing and financing is "messy," consider a Notary Accounting Software that lets you keep track of your finances, invoices, expenses, etc.
If remembering who you met, sent emails to or spoke with on the phone, maybe give a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) tool a go? If you focus on building relationships with customers or leads, then your business will grow in return.
Whichever route you decide to go down, make sure once you do find something that works for you - stick with it!
Schedule time for breaks so you don't burn yourself out
One of the greatest joys of being an Online Notary is working from home! Working from home can be a productivity paradise, but it also carries the risk of working yourself into a burnout. To prevent this fate from befalling you, it's important to.
Set specific days off and office hours for working.
Take time to wake up in the morning. Jumping right out of bed and onto the computer doesn't give you time to collect your thoughts and assess the day ahead.
Take time for breaks throughout the day. Yes, even taking a nap for 20 minutes a day is acceptable and can easily be calendared in your new online calendar you just started using.
Feeling "lazy" taking naptime during the day? Try taking a five-minute breather for some tea or stretching, run some short errands that are nearby and give your eyes a rest from the computer, watch a YouTube recipe channel, have a puzzle setup in the office that you can go work on for a few minutes, just STOP working for a little while.
Trust me – your body and mind will thank you for setting aside scheduled blocks of time for refreshment. Life is messy enough as is; scheduling breaks helps ensure that at least one part of your life isn't! Set aside time each week to review your progress and set new goals Setting aside time each week to review your own progress can make a world of difference in how effective and meaningful your work and accomplishments are. Whether it's setting new goals or celebrating little victories, engaging in frequent self-reflection helps to keep you motivated and inspired. Maybe you didn't make your social media posting quotient? That's ok, but you need to acknowledge that and take action. Maybe you tried a new advertising email campaign that had great success? Maybe you found that working with a certain customer/client base makes you feel anxious or edgy? You won't know what worked and what didn't, unless you take time to review your progress. Consider it a fun and playful way of exploring what worked well and what could be improved upon the next round. It may feel silly at first, but chances are you will soon find yourself doing this on a regular basis! Celebrate your accomplishments, big and small, and take time to thank your supporters Achieving success isn’t easy, and it’s not something we can do alone. Whether it’s landing a new client, a successful marketing campaign you've developed, or even something small like mastering a new RON Platform, it takes effort – and help – to get to the finish line. That’s why it’s important to celebrate our accomplishments and thank those who cheered us on along the way. So go ahead and let yourself feel accomplished; give yourself a pat on the back for all that you manage to accomplish. Don’t be shy about giving yourself credit for all the hard work you put in! And don’t forget to say “Thanks!” to your supporters – because without them we would all be lonesome achievers. Bring it on 2023! You've got this! By setting daily, weekly, and monthly goals, you can make sure you're staying on track to hit your big-picture targets. And once you find a system of organization that works for you, stick with it! It's also important to schedule time for breaks so you don't burn yourself out. Finally, set aside some time each day or week to review your progress and give yourself a pat on the back for all your accomplishments—big and small.
