Starting a business

[Stangel5]

Awhile back a did online schooling for desktop publishing and now i'm in this course to mix the two together. I was curious can a person start a business in this field with only a certificate? Please let me know what you think?

what business specifically are you talking about , photography ? if so the answer is yes of course
remember photography is as much an art as anything else
so you don't need a license or certificate to succeed in it ,
what you need is passion for it , patience while you practice and learn , and a very strong desire to make it your life's work so you never give up , even if you have to make money doing other things along the way

all of which has nothing to do with a peice of paper
from a school or course , although the skills and practice acquired from taking courses or going to schools will definitely aid you in learning the craft
but practice is the key , and a natural talent helps
