Since the start of this Coronavirus Pandemic recommendations from health experts has been to stay away from the hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care and doctors offices. If you are in need of care these experts recommend to use a system called Telemedicine.
Telemedicine allows health care professionals to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients at a distance using telecommunication technology. The approach has been through a striking evolution in the last decade and it is becoming an increasingly important part of the American healthcare infrastructure.
Less interference with child or elder care responsibilities

Because patient data will be transmitted when telemedicine is used, it is subject to HIPPA regulations. Consumer video services like Skype and Facetime do not meet this standard. In order to maintain compliance, providers must choose technology solutions that uses data encryption to protect patient data.
Did you know that if you are on a traditional healthcare (meaning a plan given to you by your employer) that you are more likely not on a Telemedicine Plan(check your plans for details). This means if you receive a call from your doctors office that they are switching to a telemedicine format that you may not be covered and have to pay for the visit out of pocket.
Telemedicine plans can cost anywhere from $20 or more per month. To get an affordable plan that fits your budget click here
We are currently experiencing some very dramatic changes in notary laws across the country. Just a few years ago, for example, the Indiana Notary Guide produced by the Indiana Secretary of State's Office was just over 20 pages. Today it is over 70 pages. With new technology happening across the country in the notary industry it is a smart choice for the professional notary entrepreneur to have the proper legal protection against looming legal issues.
Here are 4 reasons that notary professionals should carry a legal service plans in their toolbox
1. Legal Service Plans can give you access to an entire law firm. Imagine if you, as a notary entrepreneur, had access to a Contract Attorney, Tax Attorney, or Estate Attorney. Imagine being able to talk with an attorney about how to help you lower legal risk of operating your notary business. Imagine even if in the process of going to each of your assignments you receive a traffic ticket and having an attorney represent you in court. Would that be a benefit to you?
2. Notary Laws are becoming more and more complicated. If you are not a lawyer it probably a mistake to try to interpret the laws on your own without the counsel of a trained and license attorney. Would it be a benefit to have an attorney to consult on business decisions?
3. Not having a legal service plan will cost you. As a notary entrepreneur you will be dealing with signing and title companies in a different states which means contracts that will be under the jurisdiction of that state. Sometime you will even be asked to notarize borrower's documents from a different country in a different language. If you are an notary employee you may be asked by your employer at times to notarize documents that you would consider questionable. If an unintentional mistake is made on documents by you, would you feel more confident in the outcome of a legal proceeding if you had an attorney to help you through the process?
4. Having a Legal Service Plan helps you operate an Efficient/Effective Notary Business. Using a Legal Service Plan effectively helps to keep you out of litigation and becoming a Defendant in a court case. Remember the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Could you benefit with consulting with an attorney about lower risk factors to your business?
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
Have you ever receive a traffic citation?
Have you ever signed a contract and wished you had an attorney to review it beforehand?
Have you had problems with collecting payment from out of state companies?

Cash flow is the net change in your notary business cash position from one period to the next. When you have more cash than you send out, you have a positive cash flow. You have a negative cash flow if you have more cash outflow than inflow. Having a positive monthly cash flow is a key indicator of your notary business financial health.
Having a positive cash flow is critical to running an efficient effective business. To establish a positive cash flow for your notary business there are a couple of key factors that you have to keep in mind. Below are just a few key factors to keep in mind and habits to develop as you continuously develop your business empire.
- Know what your bottom line is. This is absolutely key to your success. You have to know how much it cost you to produce your product or service. This includes maintaining your vehicle and the internet, paper, ink, gas, insurance (including business, life, disability, identity theft), etc.
- Make cash flow a priority. Track what you are currently spending your money on. For the next 30 days journal your spending. If you never tracked what your daily expenses are to this point then this will be an eye opening experience for you.
- Ask for direct deposit instead of having a checkmailed(which is usually mailed on average about 45 days after the assignment). If your existing clients are not doing this currently ask them to start for you. It is an extremely simple process and most businesses have picked up this practice.
- Develop a system to make deposits quicker. Most banks will allow their business customers to deposit checks through their banking apps that can be downloaded on your cell phone. When conducting mobile notary assignments and you are collecting a check as payment this download feature makes it almost as safe as collecting cash for the assignment. It also puts your cash in the bank faster.
- Diversify your notary business. Make sure you are not just conducting real estate assignments or just conducting mobile notary assignments. Doing a mixture of both will keep your business finances health.
- Properly vet your clients. Prior to accepting assignments from companies do your research on them. Ask questions about their methods of payments and when they pay after each assignment. As a business owner this is basic information you need to know to run your business more effectively.
- Be aware of daily inflation and adjust to it. For Notary Signing Agents, this is a critical point to keep in mind with negotiating your next contract. Inflation measured by consumer price index is defined as the change in the prices of a basket of goods and services that are typically purchased by specific groups of households. Daily Inflation Index includes the prices of foods, gas, paper, ink and other supplies that notaries needs.
The reason why this should be is so important to the Notary Signing Agents (NSA) is in this example. Let's say you accepted an closing assignment on June 1st for $100. Upon completing the assignment it pays you the NSA 45 days later on July 15th. Accounting for the Daily Inflation Index here is just one example on how this affects the $100 the NSA is to receive for the assignment.
June 1st price of a gallon of gas is $2.25 per gallon
because gas prices fluctuate daily by
July 15th the price of a gallon of gas is now $3.49 per gallon
In this example if the NSA car has a 15 gallon gas tank the NSA will lose $18.60 just on filling up their vehicle with gas. The $100 is now worth $81.60. This is just one product example of how the Daily Inflation Index can affect an NSA's business. Buying fresh product is another example of how this works because fresh produce prices can double or even triple overnight.
Developing a more efficient at developing positive cash flow habits doesn't happen overnight but it is possible. Believe in yourself and know that it can be done.
