29:35   Work toward perfection but don't ever beat yourself up if you make a mistake. Know that you did your best, and be proud of it.
33:13   I don't look at anyone as competition. You are who you are, you do what you do. If you do it well, people will cling to you and hire you. 
38:45   At a certain point, I stopped focusing on other peoples businesses, and started putting everything that I did into mine. When I did that, it started taking off!

PS- Your journal is one of the most important components of your role as a Notary Public. When done properly, your journal serves as your memory, documenting relevant circumstances surrounding an appointment. This helps better protect you and your signers, and there are two new journals I recommend for your consideration.

In most states, including California, Jurat, Inc.’s new Notary eJournal is an exciting and more efficient way to journal. With a special add-on device, it even digitally captures fingerprints. I’ve negotiated an incredible deal for you if you’d like to try it out. Click here for details.
