This question comes up a lot! I’ve seen it in my Facebook group I don’t know how many times. But it’s a question I love to answer because sometimes I feel like the quest for certification before starting your business can become a bit of a crutch, you know? Like a procrastination tactic where you talk yourself into believing you have to get that one extra thing, that one missing piece before you’re ready to start gaining clients.
