Eventually, he grew tired of the long hours, the OK pay, and having little autonomy; he became disheartened by the constant changes, the cuts, and the increasing pressure on his earnings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He needed a change.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And&nbsp;so,&nbsp;he began to take courses on how to become a mobile notary, inspired by Mark Wills\u2014a highly successful notary.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once he finished his courses, he officially became his own boss and started his notary business. Soon after, the pandemic hit.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While&nbsp;his business was initially impacted, that impact did not last long, and Jamar now says business is
