This sticking to my fees has given me a new life -

I've caught up on this board, annoyed my SOS office, caught up on Facebook, cleaned house, dropped off my tax stuff,
exercised and now I have time to fix dinner. Umm wonder how long I can do this and what I'll do with my free time tomorrow?

It may take a while to re-educate them, but IT WORKS!!!

I forgot that I ordered fed ex envelopes too and then got a

call that they will only send 50 at a time. Shoot, I have to reorder every month, but then at this rate, those 50 should last me a year or so. lol

February has been a very slow month in general. The lack of calls this month may have nothing to do with "sticking to your fees".
I agree with others that you are doing the right thing... What point is there in working if you're not making a profit??? You might as well enjoy doing nothing at all. Also, anyone in your area who is working at a "below profitability level" will soon be out of business.

Sticking to my fee and limiting my driving distance has really helped. But it helps when you have enough business to be a little picky.

It's been busy in the Inland Empire

I did 3 signings today and 1 general notary job. Received 7 calls for signings today.
Should be busy the rest of the month.

First half was a little slow but has really picked up the last couple of days.
