I’ve been a sharepoint consultant for about 3 years now. My wife said I should go all the way and get my certification since I enjoy it so much. I took her advice and registered for their training classes and passed the exam. I’m now a member on Microsoft’s Sharepoint Certified Consultants list. I am now able not only to receive referrals from them but increase my fees because I have credential backing my ability. I seriously thinking about getting a brick and mortar location to really push my business. My wife has promised to be my receptionist until I can afford to hire one.
