What is the secret to success in business? A person came to me for some חיזוק (encouragement). He told me he was a Rebbe & was not having a lot of Hatzlacha with his students. He then asked me if i had any advice for him. I then told him don’t be a rebbe for the $40,000 paycheck, do it for the sake of Hashem (not for the sake of money)& then you are guaranteed to be successful by Hashem Himself. He got back to me a few weeks later & told me he was doing much better B”H based on that now he was doing his job from a complete different perspective. This can apply to ANY livelihood. (ex. 1) A contractor-if you build a house with the intention for a Jewish family to move in & raise a jewish family then you are guaranteed success from Hashem. 2)A plumber- before you came to your customers house there was a mess & a lot of screaming with Shalom Bayis problems. But now you fixed the bathroom & there’s peace in the house) Bottom line: When a person does his job for the sake of Hashem then he is guaranteed success & he still gets the same paycheck.
In your situation to becoming a professional psychologist or therapist don’t focus on the job and money for each patient but focus on helping people return back to a happy life from the current situation they are coming to you for help now and then you are guaranteed success directly from Hashem in your job.
I wish you lots of Hatzlacha in your future livelihood to support your family directly from Hashem as long as you remember that in truth and honesty all your livelihood is actually coming DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM and Hashem is just sending them as messengers middlemen to help support your family and pay your bills.
