Good advice. However, I would go even further and recommend that you do the research before you invest any more time or money in classes to make sure that this is a good business plan for you in the current market and that it will help you meet your goals. The pablum that the NNA and some other organizations put out there about there being an "urgent need" for NSAs is sadly just a marketing come-on to sell their classes (imho).
Do your homework and prepare a business plan, and as JanK/ca said, learn your notary stuff inside out first. And by the way, with business as slow as it is, don't put your hopes on your competition showing you the ropes... It's just not a realistic expectation. There are some, however, who will - for a fee (as it should be) - offer mentorship.
