What is your hesitation regarding the hypnotherapy/counseling route? Would it take a while to earn much?

I tried making a go of it as a Hypnotherapist off and on the past couple of years, and really struggled financially.

But there were also some mitigating circumstances involved in that struggle, and it's possible that I could make a go of it if I gave it another try. I'm definitely considering it.

One challenge was that I felt under-educated, and that left me feeling like I wasn't helping my clients as much as I'd prefer. Another was, even though I'm a big proponent of hypnosis, I sometimes struggled with the "new-agey" perception of it by the public in general.

In essence, even though I loved it, I was also a little embarrassed by it, if that makes any sense. Makes it tough to build a business if you're uncomfortable with the model you're using.

If I can figure out how to work through that, it might be the answer to this dilemma.
