Introducing Myself: A Journey of Resilience and Determination

Hello! For those who haven’t read about me before, I’m thrilled to share my story and the journey that has shaped me into who I am today. My name is DLAW (Donisha Law), and I wear many hats. I am a single mother of five wonderful children, a mobile notary, a loan signing agent, and the Vice President of Operations for Advisory Pro Financial. In addition to these roles, I also engage in various projects that fuel my passion for helping others.

My Path into the Industry

My journey into the world of notary and loan signing began out of necessity and ambition. As a single mother, I needed a business/ another stream of income that offered flexibility and the potential for growth. The mobile notary and loan signing business provided just that. I trained, got certified, and started building my business from the ground up. It wasn’t easy, but the freedom to manage my own schedule while providing essential services to my clients was worth every challenge.

Have you ever had to pivot?

I want to share a story about a significant pivot in my life and career that underscores the power of adaptability and resilience. It’s a tale of transformation that began with a simple YouTube video and evolved into a journey of continuous growth and learning.

The Beginning: A New Path

In 2019, while browsing YouTube, I stumbled upon a video about becoming a loan signing agent. Intrigued by the potential to add another stream of income, I delved into research, exploring what it would take to become a notary and loan signing agent. By the end of the year, I had earned my notary certification and was ready to embark on this new venture.

The Unexpected Turn: Adapting to Circumstances

Just as I was getting started, life threw a curveball. In March 2020, on my birthday, I was laid off from my job due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Faced with uncertainty, I made a pivotal decision the very next day. I placed an order for all the supplies I would need to jumpstart my notary business. By May 2020, I completed my first assignment for a home purchase, and the excitement of being part of a team that helped someone embark on their next journey was incredibly fulfilling.

Rapid Growth: Seizing Opportunities

Over the next few months, I became more active in the loan signing business, working with local and title companies on HELOCs, refinances, seller-side transactions, and various other loan documents. The drop in interest rates during the pandemic created a surge in demand for loan signing services, and I was able to help many customers during this critical time. Additionally, I expanded my services to include power of attorney, trusts, and other legal documents, making a tangible difference in my clients’ lives.

The Next Pivot: Adapting to Market Changes

As the pandemic progressed, the market began to shift. By 2022, rising interest rates led to a decreased demand for loan signing agents. Recognizing the need to pivot once again, I transitioned to providing general notary services with a mobile twist, ensuring convenience and flexibility for my clients. This change required me to return to my previous job while continuing to manage my notary business.

Balancing Act: Learning Time Management

Balancing a full-time job, raising five kids, and running a business demanded exceptional time management skills. I had to meticulously plan my days, prioritizing tasks to ensure that I met my professional and personal responsibilities effectively. This period was challenging, but it taught me invaluable lessons in resilience and adaptability.

Expanding Skills: Embracing Continuous Learning

Throughout these last couple years, I seized every opportunity to expand my skill set. I gained expertise in AI web design, obtained a CNA license, and working towards becoming a Trained Medication Aide (TMA). I also became a Certified Medical Courier and a tax preparer, diversifying my abilities to better serve my community and enhance my professional growth.
