Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Thank you, ladies.
Congratulations.
I'm never speechless, and I'm literally speechless. I guess why I'm speechless is because, like, I'm gonna start crying. I feel myself getting all emotional. It's because it's voted on by the community. And so that is literally the best prize I can ever win. And so, you know, for the past eight years, my mission has been to help 1 million notaries. I'm not even close to that, Mark, but I'm not going to stop. And so I'm going to help as many notaries who need the help because I believe everyone is worthy of greatness and deserving of success. And so it's just been a really cool moment right now. I'm like, literally speechless. So just thank you to nna. Thank you to everybody. Thank you to my wife. My ability to help humans would not be as available for my wife to support what I do and helping others. And so I'm on vacation, emailing, texting with students, and, you know, I'm at dinner and I get from my phone, my wife's like, no, she understands. And so my wife and my baby boy. But wow, crazy. So thank you.
Just so you know, we had over 10,000 votes submitted. Okay. With this award, the NNA is going to be making a $500 donation in the name of the charity of your choice. And I have a feeling you already have a charity of mind.
I'm, like, overwhelmed with emot. Thank you. Yes. Promises to kids. And so in San Diego, it is a foster program that helps foster youth of San Diego specifically. So thank you. Wow. That makes me literally thank you to the NNA and to the entire team. You guys have the best team ever, by the way. But yes, I came excited to let Promises know that's coming from the nna. So thank you. Thank you.
And honestly, Mark, I watch what you do. We go to your conference, you come to our conference. I see the way that people look at you. I see the way that you've changed people's lives. And as someone, Susie and I taught for years on the road and have, like, a small inkling of that feeling. So to see it go, like, to mega status that you brought it to and what you do for the community, this is just so well deserved. So congratulations.
Thank you. And if I could just take a moment to like to all the people who in the coaching niche, like, Every. Every coach is amazing. I mean, from the two other finalists here to the many other that weren't nominated per se. But I know they're making massive impact. You know, I kind of know Laur, you know, Carol Ray, rest in peace, I think, is the OG of the influencer space. And, you know, she kind of gave me permission to do it. So I want to make sure that she gets her flowers as well in this moment. But I think every coach is amazing to her, right? I think every influencer brings their level of experience to their communities. And so, you know, I think this is really cool that NNA to recognize what, you know, that many notary coaches in this space are doing. And so thank you to NNA for recognizing not just my work, but the work of all of us, because I know there is. There's other coaches also text their community during vacations. And so I'm not the only one who lives and breathes trying to help others. And so, you know, I'd like to think that we're all callings in the notary coaching space. And so I wish everyone success and I wish that everybody, every notary here just picks a coach that they resonate with and they can relate to because the best thing you can invest in is somebody else's experience. The quickest way from point A to point B is buying someone else's experience. So my best advice to everyone, just pick amazing influencers. There's so many of us out there trying to change the world. And so thank you for recognizing an inaugural. That is super awesome. I'm super thankful. I want to thank LSS Nation. I mean, LSS Nation is a little biased. The best community of notaries out there. The fact that they allowed me to be a small part of the overall community is just a blessing and humbled and grateful for it. So to LSS Nation, I love you, my wife loves you, the entire team. So thank you because I know LSS Nation was a big reason that I won this. So to LSS Nation, just my heart's with you, and I'm never going to stop doing what I do. And so my goal is a million notaries. I teach my students to dream big, think big, have massive goals. So it's a million notaries and I'm not done. So thank you.
