Here are 5 of the biggest mistakes Notaries can make:
1. Not investing in ongoing training and education.
Staying up to date on Notary laws in your state will help you avoid errors.
2. Not having a business plan.
As a business owner, you should develop a plan to help you identify obstacles and set goals for growth.
3. Failing to look for a mentor.
whether you are a novice or seasoned Notary you can find benefits from a mentor.
4. A lack of business etiquette.
How you behave on social media is just as important and could be viewed by potential clients.
5. Failing to network with other Notaries.
Networking with your peers can expand your marketing options with little to no cost.
Avoiding these mistakes will increase your chances to have a productive and profitable mobile Notary business.

Thanks so much

Are there tips for finding a mentor in your area? I have a friend who was a notary but she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's recently and so a conversation on this sometimes complex topic will likely be a challenge. I can see there are a lot of notaries in the area but many of them work at banks and such. Any tips for finding a good and willing mentor? Or is it really a matter of just calling them all up and hoping one agrees to take you on?
