From one Newbie to another…
Although I have been a signing agent for a short time, it has been a very successful "short time" for me. Success does not come easy, however. Many, many hours (ask my husband and son!) have been invested in equipping myself with the knowledge to make my career work for me. One must have a passion for whatever one's career choice is. A passion will motivate you to seek every given opportunity to gather as much knowledge as possible to make you successful.
After pouring over many books, websites, blogs, etc, I have gained a wealth of knowledge that cannot be taken away from me. I have gleaned knowledge from those who have been in business much longer than I, and I appreciate and respect their knowledge and their willingness to share.
Following this website has taught me a very valuable lesson; “do not wait for someone to hand you a fish. LEARN to fish!”
And that, dear newbie, is the basis of true success. Knowledge builds confidence and confidence brings business. Business gives success and success is very rewarding.
Many thanks to the notaries who have and are willing to help us who are just beginning, but I warn you, my newbie friends, these notaries only help those who help themselves!
So…as I step down from my soapbox remember this. Your success will ultimately depend upon you. Be strong in your passion and your dedication, believe in yourself and enjoy what you do, and you will be fine.

I think you have been successful because you worked for it and did not expect it to be given to you...
congrats and GJ

Re: Someone who gets it! Yay! Kudos & best wishes to you!!
Good for you that you have figured this out on your own. You will gain so much more from doing so, not only in self knowledge but with self respect and pride from a good job well done. I have just responded to my usual monthly request from a newbie in my area that wants me to tell her everything I've learned in 4 years and take her on a couple closings with me. Some people just "don't get it" you however do. Best of luck to you.

Yes welcome. I am a Newbie here too. I can tell you this, it is the best place to find advice. They will be strict with you but it is worth it. Always say "thank you" to what ever they tell you, because you cant make enough money to buy what the people on Not Rot are willing teach you. They are my friends.
Best of luck

This message should be added to 33325.
Possibly the best message from a newer signing agent that I've ever read here.
