The business idea was birthed when it was noticed how another person was being treated by a notary in the location where the current owner of Good News Notary Solutions LLC happened to be at the time.  She knew that everyone ought to be treated with respect and dignity, and that she could certainly make that happen for the people in her State.  She recalled the "Golden Rule" and chooses to base her company off of that principal.
