I recently ran an impromptu survey of notaries asking them to estimate the size of their network, including every person they’ve come to know in their life.

The most popular answer?

Most said they knew less than 100 people.

Over their entire lifetime!

Now, I understand that can probably be possible…for toddlers and introverts that have taken the extra step to live my dream life in a cave…on an island…on another planet, but for the rest of us notary entrepreneurs, it’s highly unlikely that you only know 100 people or less.

To prove it to you, I want to help you build your contact list. A contact list is a consolidated collection of every single person you know or have known your entire life.

Don’t start analyzing already! I see you.

Just make the list and analyze later. Trust me.

First, recognize the sheer magnitude of your contact list.

Here’s how you build your contact list:

When I was younger, my dad delivered a powerful lesson about taking control of my decisions and behavior. 

I was struggling with some homework assignment, whining about how I was trying to do this or that to get a good grade. 

He pulled me aside and handed me a pen. 

"Try to drop that pen," he said. 

I dropped it. 

"No," he corrected, "You dropped the pen. I asked you to try to drop the pen." He picked it up and handed it to me. 

"Try and drop that pen again." 

"I can't try, all I can do is drop it or hold it," I whined. 

"Exactly," he proudly exclaimed.

"You either do it or you don't. It's your responsibility. There is no trying to do anything. Now, quit your whining and get your ass back to work."

I was perplexed and almost didn't get it...

But that lesson has served me well in life and business-leaders (leaders of self), commit and do. Victims (victims of self) only try. They don't commit and always...

If you're new to my teachings, the Fab 100 is the prospect list I advocate for use to grow your business. It's a central hub for all your potential client data and your notes about how your marketing efforts are going. 

This helps you know exactly  who you should be marketing to as you grow your business!

I made a template on Google Sheets that you can use for free and I'll share it below. But, I want you to know, I didn't stop with the simple Fab 100 list. 

I created multiple tabs to help you better manage other aspects of your business too. With this FREE template, you can track:

• Estate planning attorney prospects
• Escrow officer prospects
• Signing companies
• And even medical facilities!

Then, you can easily add tabs to capture and track your very own prospects for ANY specialty you are going for!

And this is free, my gift to you!

I'm on a mission to help you serve more clients, make more money, and build a business that thrives no matter...

My Grandpa Al was a great man.

Military veteran, GI Bill graduate, 30-year teacher in the same school district, and a side-hustling printer with his very own printing press. He was married for 55+ years, raised kids and grandkids—the whole nine yards.

But a visionary? Not so much.

He dreamed big and showed up to the meetings, but when it came to pulling the trigger? He hesitated. And because of that, the Soroka family missed out on not one but four life-changing opportunities.

Let me paint the picture for you:

• In the 1950s, Grandpa Al could have bought 1,000 acres of what is now prime real estate in Scottsdale, Arizona, for $1 an acre. But he thought, “No one will ever live that far from downtown Phoenix.”
• Around the same time, Ray Kroc came through Phoenix pitching McDonald’s franchises. Al passed, convinced fast food was just a “fad.” (Yet he faithfully ate the pancake platter there three times a week until he passed at 93.)
• In the 1960s, he...

I am thrilled to be able to share with you the exact morning routine and habits that literally changed my life and my business.

In fact, I shared it six years in my Morning Mastery course and I just watched it again as I build my goal-setting workshops and Sunday planning sessions for members of High Performance Notary (formerly the Notary Business Challenge community).

It amazes me how these fundamental practices STILL serve me and others today.

I use the same strategies I used to market to escrow officers back then to market to estate planning attorneys today.

It works.

This Morning Mastery course gives you access to the precise steps I took when I finally pulled my head out of my rear end and took this business seriously.

It's not rocket science. It's not a new invention.

It's an application of wisdom from the ages and sages from other industries into this business as a mobile notary and loan signing agent.

In my case, I was hungry and had to dig myself out of a huge hole after...

I'm flabbergasted and I need your help.

Six years ago (Even before my first book, Sign & Thrive, was published), I wrote the Morning Mastery course as a step-by-step roadmap to how mobile notaries could 20X their revenue.

I gave it away to over 5,000 notaries.

And just yesterday, I finally took a look at the progress stats (I've never been very good with analystics). I had assumed that a step-by-step plan of action to earn $20,000 a month would have been watched. I was wrong.

BARELY 3% of these notaries completed this course. MOST of them never even started it.

I know, I know, we get busy. I'm guilty of it too. The person inside of me that buys courses is not the same person that has to take them. I collect courses too. I've spent thousands of dollars on courses that just sit in my Kajabi library.

But, as a coach, that's heartbreaking. I see so many notaries give up on their business before they really give it a chance.

I KNOW this material works. In fact, I'm going to say this...

I am midflight, returning from a whirlwind trip to Philadelphia, celebrating notaries of the northeast at The Notary Hotel (You have to see it), as well as celebrating the release of my latest (6th) book, "Your Passport to Apostilles: 116 Tips to Build a Thriving Business as an Apostille Agent." 

Two years ago, I would never have believed you, if you envisioned for my future, that I'd have a bestelling book about international document authentication. But, as these ideas tend to do, it began with a breakfast conversation with my friend, and now co-author, Judi Lawrence, in Texas after an event we both spoke at. 

"What if...", I asked Judi...

What of we wrote a tip book that helped anyone start or grown an apostille agent business? What if...we write a book together that serves as the perfect complement to the book she wrote with Matt Miller, "The Apostille Agent's Survival Guide."

What if...

Two dangerously magical words that open the doors to...

Maybe you’ve heard of the Corporate Transparency Act. I had heard it, but I’ve been ignoring it because when I hear the word “corporate,” I think big business. 

I was wrong. 

As the government combats terrorism, money laundering, and other illegal activities, the Corporate Transparency Act is designed precisely to gain ownership information of small, mom & pop, or single person companies, or solo-preneurs. 

This is us, notaries! 

In many cases, notaries public who are doing business as an LLC, corporation, partnership, a fictitious name, or other registered entities will have to comply with the Corporate Transparency Act. 

If we don’t file the information on time, by January 1, 2025, we may be subject to fines of $500 per day (and maybe even jail time!). 

And if you’re thinking, “Oh well, what’s...

Picture it: Las Vegas 2022, the National Notary Association's annual conference, a group of notaries sitting around a casino bar dreaming of ways to bring more value to their communities. 

With the various “creative juices” one can find in a bar, we were brainstorming even more specialty work that a notary could focus on to not only help more people, but create more revenue for their business that was not reliant on the mortgage industry. 

One of the notaries sparked up the topic of marijuana, and that’s where things went crazy. Some of the notary cohorts in that bar conversation were already serving the cannabis industry by notarizing compliance documents on a regular basis. 

And, doing what I tend to do, I bought a domain or two. 

Right there, that minute, I bought 420Notary.com, just in case there might be a bigger opportunity for notaries here. 

Fast forward through two years of research, and there is a big opportunity in cannabis for...
