A notary called us because the signer was having a hard time signing due to an illness. The signer said, “I have a stamp with my name… can I just use that?” We explained that a name stamp cannot replace a signature. she still needed to sign, even if it wasn’t perfect. In the end, she signed the best she could. It wasn’t pretty, but it was her signature, and that’s what counts. These are the kind of moments that can catch you off guard if you haven’t seen them before 👉 Have you ever had a signer struggle to sign? What did you do? 👇

You get docs… What do you do first? 👉 Print right away? 👉 Or take a quick look before hitting print? 👀 Because let’s be real… we’ve all seen: ❌ Wrong names ❌ Missing critical documents ❌ Mixed files ❌ Wrong dates And once it’s printed… well 😅 there goes paper, toner, and time 👉 What’s YOUR move? Print first or check first? 👇

Client deletes docs and uploads a new set… ❌ Doesn’t notify anyone Notary downloads the original set, completes the signing… ❌ Never sees the updated documents Signing service also doesn’t catch the update… ❌ No one flags the change Now the question is: Who’s responsible here? 👀 👉 The client for not notifying? 👉 The notary for not double-checking before the appointment? 👉 The signing service for not catching the update? 👉 Or all of the above? This is one of those gray areas where communication (or lack of it) can cause real problems. Quick reminder: Before heading to a signing, it’s always a good habit to do a last-minute check for any updates or new documents. It can save you from a big headache later. 👉 What do YOU think? Who’s responsible in this situation? Let’s discuss 👇

We keep seeing the same issue come back: The document shows something like: “John Doe by Jane Doe, his attorney-in-fact” But then the signer either: 👉 Signs just their name 👉 Signs below the line 👉 Or doesn’t include the full format And that’s where the problem starts. The signature should actually look like: “John Doe by Jane’s signature, his attorney-in-fact” Not just Jane’s name… not under the line… but the full format as shown. It might seem like a small detail, but this is one of those things that can easily get documents rejected. Quick tip: Don’t assume the signer knows how to sign under POA, guide them through it every time. 👉 Have you ever had to correct a POA signature at the table? What did the signer do at first? 😅

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.
