Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Peter Svenning titled "Ready to Launch?" The speaker argues that readiness comes from starting, not accumulating certifications. He illustrates with an anecdote about a master coach who had coached hundreds for free, realized his experience, then within 30 days signed two clients at $6,000 each.
You don't become ready by waiting. You don't need more certifications to charge more. You need this one realization. One of my master coaches kept telling me, peter, I'm not ready yet. He said this for three years, he kept taking more courses, earning more certifications, believing each one would finally make him ready. Then I asked him one simple question. How many people have you already helped for free? He went quiet. Then he laughed. Hundreds. I smiled, and I said, well, so you actually been coaching for years. You just haven't been charging. At that moment, the realization hit him hard. You don't become ready by waiting. You become ready by starting. Within just 30 days, he signed two clients, each at $6,000.
