Real talk, the people who hit their goals aren't superhuman. They just don't quit on themselves. You're probably dealing with the same stuff as everyone else. Life's messy. Progress is slow sometimes. You doubt yourself. Whatever. That's all normal. What matters is that you keep moving. Even when it doesn't feel like much. Even when you can't see the finish line yet. Some of you are killing it right now. Some are starting over. Some have no idea what's next. I get it. But you're all here doing the work, and that's what counts. For those just starting: You need to be seen. Send those emails. Make those calls. Earn the "preferred" title. I know it's not easy, but it's the only way to actually start. The invisible work doesn't move the needle, visibility does. So this week, do something that gets you closer. One thing. Then come back and tell us what it was. What's your one move this week? Drop it below, let's keep each other honest.

Hey NBG family 👋 I wanted to share something with you before anyone else. After months of work, I just launched the new website for my signing service: www.theclosingsigningservice.com I'm sharing it because I know many of you are building your own notary businesses and I get how it feels to sit down and think "how do I want the world to see me?" If you visit it, I'd love to hear your thoughts. What you liked, what caught your eye, what you'd do differently. And if any of you are stuck on your own website or branding, drop a comment below and let's figure it out together.

We had a signing where the title company requested a change in location We understand, that can be frustrating. But here’s what happened: ❌ The notary replied directly to the client ❌ The tone was not professional ❌ And we weren’t given the chance to step in and handle it The reality is: 👉 We were already working on a solution 👉 We would have adjusted compensation due to the change But the response was immediate, and it escalated the situation Important reminder: If something changes or doesn’t feel right, always go through the signing service first 👉 We’re the ones who communicate with title 👉 We’re here to support you 👉 And we help protect those relationships And just as important, how we communicate matters 👉 How would you have handled this situation? 👀

Language Capacity Declaration Sometimes we receive it like this: 👉 Signed ✔️ 👉 But the text is NOT handwritten ❌ Even though it’s signed, that’s not enough If no translator is needed, the signer must: 👉Handwrite the full statement (yes, word by word) 👉 Then sign. Both steps matter 👉 Have you come across this one before? 👀

You have a signing scheduled… Everything is confirmed… And then: ❌ The notary backs out 15 minutes before the appointment No explanation… Now you’re scrambling to fix it 😅 Let’s be real, things happen. Emergencies are part of life, and if a notary communicates and can explain the situation, that’s completely understandable. But canceling last minute with no reason or communication? That’s a different story… This kind of situation can impact: 👉 The signer’s experience 👉 The client 👉 Future opportunities 👉 What do you consider a valid last-minute cancellation? 👀 Let’s talk 👇
