LSA Course Guide: Blue Mastermind Loan Signing Agent Certification & Training
The Blue Mastermind program is BlueNotary’s 6-week intensive training for notaries who want to scale to full-time income ($150+/hour) through Remote Online Notarization (RON) and Loan Signing Agent (LSA) work.
If you’re considering enrolling, you probably want to know what you’re actually getting. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the course curriculum, what each week covers, and how the training progresses from getting started to landing paying clients.
Course Structure Overview
The Blue Mastermind program runs 6 weeks with a “Week 0” pre-work section. Each week focuses on specific skills and milestones:
- Week 0: Setting realistic expectations about notary income potential
- Week 1: Building habits and business momentum
- Week 2: Getting commissioned, setting up your business legally
- Week 3: Skills training for actual notarizations and loan signings
- Week 4: Marketing, networking, and winning clients
- Week 5: Landing your first paying clients and managing finances
- Week 6: Refining your process and scaling to 3-5 sessions per week
The program includes 64+ video lessons, step-by-step walkthroughs, templates, scripts, and access to a private community of notaries building their businesses.
Week 0: Setting Expectations with Reality
Before the official course starts, Week 0 establishes realistic expectations about notary income and what the course delivers.
Key topics:
- Katie’s personal success story building a full-time notary business
- Why earning $150/hour as a notary is realistic (with proof from working notaries)
- Understanding the financial potential and autonomy of notary work
- What this course WON’T deliver (important for managing expectations)
- Student testimonials from previous cohorts
- Practice pitching to friends and family
- Expert notary interviews
- Busting common myths about the notary business
Why this matters: Too many training programs overpromise and underdeliver. Week 0 sets honest expectations so you know what you’re committing to and what results are actually achievable.
Week 1: Building Winning Habits and Momentum
Week 1 focuses on mindset, establishing routines, and avoiding the distractions that kill most new businesses before they start.
Key topics:

- Important considerations when switching to self-employment
- Joining the notary Facebook community
- Powering through the “pit of despair” when motivation drops
- Using feedback effectively
- Accountability checklist with mastermind partners
Why this matters: Most people fail not because they lack skills but because they don’t build the daily habits needed to grow a business. Week 1 addresses the mindset and routine-building that separates successful notaries from those who quit after a month.
Week 2: Mindset + Commission + Business Setup
Week 2 gets into the practical requirements—getting your notary commission, setting up your business legally, and establishing your professional online presence.

- Are willing to put in work daily for 6 weeks
- Need step-by-step guidance on marketing and finding clients
- Want community support from other notaries building businesses
- Are coachable and ready to implement what you learn
Not a good fit if you:

- Aren’t willing to invest time in marketing and business development
- Expect instant results without consistent daily action
Is It Worth It?
The Blue Mastermind program costs $997 (often discounted from the claimed “$7,146 value”). Whether it’s worth it depends on your goals:
It’s worth it if you’re serious about building a full-time notary business and need structured training, proven marketing systems, and community support. The program addresses the biggest gap most notaries face: getting clients. If you can land even 2-3 loan signings per week at $100-150 each, you’ve paid for the course in a month.
It’s not worth it if you just want basic notary training. You can get commissioned and learn basic skills much cheaper elsewhere. This program is specifically for notaries who want to scale to full-time income, not hobbyists doing occasional signings.
LSA Guide Bottom Line:
The Blue Mastermind course curriculum is comprehensive, covering everything from getting commissioned to landing paying clients. The 6-week structure moves logically from mindset and setup (Weeks 0-2) through skills training (Week 3) to marketing and client acquisition (Weeks 4-5) to scaling and refinement (Week 6).
The real value isn’t just the video lessons—it’s the tools, templates, leads database, and private community that help you actually implement what you learn. If you’re committed to building a full-time notary business and need guidance on the business-building side (not just notarization skills), the curriculum delivers what you need.
The program is currently at capacity with a waitlist, which suggests it’s working for people. If you’re serious about notary work as a full-time income, the Blue Mastermind curriculum provides a clear roadmap to get there.
