Raising the Bar: Unveiling the Inspiration Behind Steve’s Mobile Office
​

Steve’s journey to revolutionizing his mobile workspace was sparked by Connor and Derek, both LSS students who initially shared their own mobile office setup.

Building upon this concept, Steve has since developed what he dubs the “Mobile Office 2.0."

Mobile Office 2.0: A Thorough Exploration

At a casual glance, Steve’s Hyundai trunk may appear quite bare.

Yet, upon closer inspection, a realm of innovation and thoughtful design unravels.

​Steve takes us on a detailed tour, illustrating how each individual component unites to forge a complete and operational mobile office.

Stabilizing the Power: Battery Setup

At the core of Steve’s mobile workspace is an intricate power system.

He has adeptly secured two high-output, deep cycle batteries directly to the vehicle’s frame, employing off-roading gear typically utilized for integrating secondary batteries into cars.

​This ensures unwavering stability of the power source, even during the most turbulent of drives.

Crafting the Network: Promoting Safety and Efficacy

To connect his power setup, Steve uses a variety of connectors commonly found in off-roading and high-powered audio systems, ensuring both safety and efficiency.

​He guides us through the setup process, highlighting that while the arrangement may appear complex at first, a wealth of resources exists to aid notaries in safely implementing their own systems.

Ensuring Durability: Cooling and Monitoring Systems

To maintain optimal performance and longevity of his setup, Steve has incorporated a cooling fan salvaged from a home entertainment system, paired with a thermometer and temperature gauge.

This setup guarantees that his equipment remains cool and fully functional, even when hidden beneath the car’s floor matting.

Front Seat Innovation: Crafting the Ideal Notary Workspace

However, the creativity doesn’t end in the trunk.

Steve has fully removed the front seat of his Hyundai, opting instead for a sliding desk and printer, maximizing space efficiency.

​This allows Steve to work effortlessly within his vehicle, with every necessary tool right at his fingertips.

Flawless Integration: From Power to Productivity

Steve’s front workspace is flawlessly integrated with the battery system in the trunk, allowing for constant monitoring of power levels and facilitating timely recharging.

​This design ensures minimal maintenance, requiring battery recharges merely once every two to three weeks.

The Rear of the Vehicle: A Goldmine of Notary Necessities

1. The Essentials Kit:

Steve’s vehicle houses a comprehensive essentials kit, stocked with all conceivable notary necessities—from ink for stamp refills to additional stamps.

​He’s also prepared for any unexpected situation, including spare fuses for his inverter to ensure his mobile office remains powered up at all times.

2. Snack Supply:

Recognizing the importance of sustaining energy levels, Steve maintains a ready supply of snacks, particularly vital during hectic days with little to no time for a proper meal.

​This foresight guarantees that he remains alert and focused for every appointment.

3. A Moment of Zen:

Acknowledging the occasionally overwhelming nature of mobile notary work, Steve carries a book for those moments of needed respite and mental decompression.

​This thoughtful addition underlines the importance of personal well-being amidst the demands of professional life.

4. Prepared for Every Challenge:

From unexpected printer paper shortages to specific document attachments, Steve is equipped for every scenario.

His file box transcends simple storage, it’s a comprehensive solution for potential roadblocks, contributing significantly to his standing as a six-figure notary public loan signing agent.
