The Big Question?!
ย ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด?
โ You donโt need more credentialsโyou need confidence in what you already know.
โ You donโt need permissionโyou need to position yourself as the ๐๐๐๐๐๐ you already are.
โ You donโt need to prove yourselfโyou need to ๐๐๐ your results and package your experience into a business that reflects your worth.
Your value isnโt up for debate.ย
