Cong'rats' and thanks...

to the very generous NSA that accepted the $45.00 signing in Madison yesterday. That's a 40 minute one way for me.
It afforded this company yet another chuckle at the desperation of our 'professional hobbyists' that don't care if they make a living or not in this industry, nor concern themselves with the people that do this for a living.
I could and 'we' could have gotten a reasonable fee if you would wake up and realize what you are doing to our livelihood. Utterly ridiculous!

Superb move.

They don't know and they don't care! They don't want to

be confused by facts. This business is rapidly going down the tubes becasue the cost of entry is so low and the base knowledge necessary is to. I am surprised that there is no balcklash. After all eveyone knows that Amway is not the key to riches (watch me get flamed by the Amway faithful)...Hmmm, I guess that Amway still recruits and gets associates. I guess that answers my question. Anyway everyone have a happy and safe independance day, I am so glad that I diversified years ago and don't depend on any particular segment of the industry.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket - how many times

did I hear that when growing up. So true. Good for your Charles! I have 2 other businesses I need to revive, or begin another. Been kicking ideas around - always looking for service vs. inventory. Oh--make up - yeah. Another light bulb goes off.
Have a safe 4th - Please, wear your seatbelts!

I very much would like to thank the notary/notaries who have popped up recently in my area and are obviously taking all the lowball offers. All my signings last week came from my regulars who pay my fee. The ones accepting lowball offers have to do 3-4 signings to my 1. I have already been paid for 4 of the 8 signings completed last week.

With these notaries working on the cheap, I don't have to fend off the $40 and $50 offers anymore...those companies have stopped calling so I'm not using up my cell minutes refusing them. The only $50-100 fees I've accepted lately were calls to go out and fix a couple of mistakes made by the notaries who are doing signings on the cheap.

So a big thank you!
