Graduation Season Reminds Me: Business Growth Requires Preparation Too

There’s something about graduation season that makes me pause and reflect. I’ve been watching students walk across stages, celebrating the work it took to get there—and it reminded me just how much preparation shows up in every kind of success.
Whether it’s students earning diplomas or business owners reaching new revenue goals, the ones who win aren’t always the smartest or the most experienced. They’re the ones who were willing to prepare.

That’s exactly why I created GovCert Collective. It’s a space for businesses who are preparing for something bigger--government contracts, supplier diversity opportunities, and long-term growth.
If you’re:

• Certified, but don’t know what to do with it
• Preparing to get certified
• Or simply curious about where to begin

…you’ll find support, resources, and community inside GovCert Collective.
Because the truth is—just like graduation—you don’t land big contracts by accident.
You prepare. You apply. You connect.
🎉 Congrats to the Class of 2025—and to every business owner preparing to walk into their next big opportunity.
