Meet LaShonda Cameron

We were lucky to catch up with LaShonda Cameron recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi LaShonda, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?

Resilience is a cornerstone of my journey with LC Precision Notary. It stems from a combination of personal experiences and professional dedication. Growing up, I witnessed the power of perseverance through my family’s unwavering commitment to overcoming challenges. This instilled in me a deep-seated belief that resilience is not just about bouncing back, but about continuously moving forward with purpose.

In my professional life, every interaction and transaction has reinforced the importance of resilience. The notary business often involves navigating complex situations and ensuring accuracy under pressure. Each challenge has been an opportunity to strengthen my resolve and refine my skills. Additionally, the trust and satisfaction of my clients fuel my determination to provide exceptional service, no matter the obstacles.

Ultimately, resilience for me is about maintaining a positive outlook, learning from every experience, and staying committed to excellence. It’s this blend of personal values and professional experiences that drives my resilience and enables LC Precision Notary to thrive.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

With over 25 years of experience in the field of education, I’ve always been passionate about serving others and making a positive impact in their lives. Now, I’m excited to embark on a new journey by starting my own mobile notary business—a venture born out of my desire to continue helping others in a convenient and accessible way.

At LC Precision Notary, we specialize in providing meticulous and reliable notary services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our commitment to precision and excellence is what sets us apart. Whether it’s handling critical legal documents, facilitating real estate transactions, or offering mobile notary services, we ensure every detail is handled with the utmost care and professionalism.

What excites me most about this work is the opportunity to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. Notarizing documents might seem like a small task, but it plays a crucial role in ensuring the legality and authenticity of important agreements. Knowing that our services help individuals and businesses navigate complex processes with confidence is incredibly rewarding.

My journey into the notary business was inspired by a desire to provide a service that combines accuracy, trust, and convenience. Over the years, I’ve built LC Precision Notary on these principles, and it’s been amazing to see the positive impact we’ve had on our community.

Currently, we’re expanding our services to include more comprehensive mobile notary options, making it easier for clients to access our expertise wherever they are.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Reflecting on my journey with LC Precision Notary, three key qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge stand out as particularly impactful:

Attention to Detail: Precision is paramount in notary work. Ensuring every document is accurately completed and every signature is correctly placed requires meticulous attention to detail. This skill not only prevents errors but also builds trust with clients. For those starting out, I recommend practicing thoroughness in every task, no matter how small. Double-checking your work and developing a systematic approach to document handling can significantly enhance your accuracy.

Effective Communication: Clear and concise communication is essential in notary services. Whether it’s explaining the notarization process to clients or coordinating with other professionals, effective communication ensures smooth transactions and client satisfaction. To improve this skill, focus on active listening and clarity in your verbal and written interactions. Role-playing scenarios and seeking feedback can also help refine your communication abilities.

Legal Knowledge: A solid understanding of notary laws and regulations is crucial. This knowledge not only ensures compliance but also empowers you to handle complex situations confidently. For newcomers, I advise investing time in studying relevant laws and staying updated on any changes. Attending workshops, webinars, and seeking mentorship from experienced notaries can provide valuable insights and deepen your legal expertise.

Advice for Early Journey Notaries:

Practice Diligence: Cultivate a habit of thoroughness and precision in all your tasks. This will become second nature over time and significantly reduce the risk of errors.

Enhance Communication Skills: Engage in activities that improve your communication, such as public speaking, writing exercises, and active listening practices. Effective communication is a cornerstone of client relations.

Stay Informed: Continuously educate yourself about notary laws and best practices. Join professional associations, attend training sessions, and seek mentorship to stay ahead in your field.
By focusing on these areas, you can build a strong foundation for a successful career in notary services.

What has been your biggest area of growth or improvement in the past 12 months?

Over the past 12 months, my biggest area of growth has been overcoming my fears of being an entrepreneur. Initially, the idea of starting and running my own business was daunting. The uncertainties and risks associated with entrepreneurship often felt overwhelming. However, through perseverance and a commitment to personal development, I have made significant strides in this area.

One of the key steps in overcoming my fears was embracing a mindset shift. I began to view challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. This change in perspective allowed me to approach problems with a solution-oriented attitude, which has been incredibly empowering.

Additionally, I invested time in learning and acquiring new skills that are essential for entrepreneurship. This included understanding business management, marketing strategies, and financial planning. By equipping myself with knowledge, I felt more confident in my ability to make informed decisions and navigate the complexities of running a business.

Another crucial aspect of my growth was seeking support and mentorship. Connecting with experienced entrepreneurs provided me with valuable insights and guidance. Their encouragement and advice helped me build resilience and develop a stronger belief in my capabilities.
