The Power of a Professional License

The power of having a professional license is often overlooked, even by the people who hold the license. Having a professional license is one of the most important career moves you can make. You join a very small and elite group that has privileges and advantages that unlicensed people will never enjoy.

 Out of thousands of different jobs, very few of them require licenses . Retail, wait staff, office workers, laborers, and even executives have no license. This is the vast majority of the population.

Doctors, lawyers, nurses cosmetologists, massage therapists, and aestheticians all share the advantages of being licensed. Licensure makes it more difficult for other people to enter the profession. This automatically increases the value of what you do. It protects what you can earn and also increases your credibility in the eyes of your clients.

You have shown that you can do something that requires skill and understanding that goes beyond what the average person can do.

I can’t find data to back this up but if you notice, the majority of people who are laid off from work are mostly people who do not have licenses. Office staff, engineers, salespeople, management and laborers are the majority of the people who are downsized or their jobs are exported to other countries. Professionally licensed jobs can’t be sent overseas. Things may be slower at times, but by having a license you pretty much can create whatever future you want.

How does this fit into your future prosperity? The answer is simple. An important part of prosperity is having the ability to consistently earn income at a higher rate of pay. A professional license practically guarantees security and higher pay than unlicensed work.

What’s interesting is the number of people who are in the process of training to get their professional license in cosmetology, massage, or aesthetics who do not recognize the earning power and status the license gives them. To fully understand, the best thing to do is to talk to people who have a license and see how it changed their life. You will hear many amazing stories.

The most important thing you can do to secure your future earning power is to get your professional license and never let it go. Even if you take time out to raise children or deal with other life events, your professional license is the most powerful asset you own. Never forget this. Always keep it current and build on it over time. If you move to a new state, get your license ASAP based on reciprocity. But don’t let it lapse. It’s your ticket to creating the life you want.
