Hey there,

I’m glad to be here and thank you @MJ DeMarco.

Now my introduction: As the title may indicate, I studied psychology (in germany) and will get my therapist-license in the next year. There is a long and expensive education after the Master and I recognized, even if I like the therapeutic work, there is no way to achieve my goals and live the life I want with beeing settled down as a psychotherapist.

That was dissappointing to see - but also the start of my journey in 2019 to another perspective. I started listening to podcasts on my way to underpaid work, reading books about financial things. I got educated a lot and growed my growth mindset ;-) I started first ideas on entrepreneurship and wondered if I could work online as a psychologist (first I didn’t dare to think much outside the box).

I read the Millionaire Fastlane in my vacation a few days ago and there is one thing, that really solved a dilemma for me: As trying business ideas, I always made sure, that my work in itself is purely ehtic and a „world-changer“, but I learned, that the Fastlane-Business itself doesn’t need to fit all the high standards (beeing also fun and take advantage of my talents), instead the Business is the way to give me the freedom, to do all the good things and start projects.

One of my challenges right now is to figure out, how I will continue the psychotherapy and I can imagine to do it like one day in a week and „not because of money“, more like a thing, I like to do and get the freedom to do it with my fastlane-business. Also I think the therapeutic work is better done, when the therapist ist not having 7 patients in a row… The ongoing business I have might not fit the CENTS-Rules… I had a new idea on the plane way home, will figure it out.

To end a bit philosophic: I think as a human beeing one part of our daily activities should include the consideration about our existence, how we can make the world a better place and I think there will be more time and calmness for it, when getting financial freedom and independency. And I don’t wanna wait till I am 80.

Greets, Alex

Cool, a psychologist in training! I'm curious to know what therapy styles are you aiming to practice and what kind of mental illness or lifestyle problems are you aiming to help with? I've done a psychology course in therapies and personality theory in my bachelors degree, and interested to know what kind of path you are on.

Hey :) It is a bit complicated, the therapy i get trained in is called "depthpsychologist oriented therapy", which understands the ongoing conflicts in the light of biography and unconscious things - so it is less oriented to working directly on symptoms. Therefore it is not fokused on special diagnoses or so.

I love this work. And that's a good reason to not do it full-time for living/surviving.

What kind of bachelor did you finish?

In New Zealand, its possible to finish two degrees at the same time.

I did bachelor of science and arts. The computer science major went to sci, and psychology went to arts.

I'm looking forward to Google Scholaring how depth-psychologist oriented therapy works.

if I could work online as a psychologist
There's a lot of opportunity in the mental health field online. There are people out there today making 6-figures per MONTH in related fields. But you've got to fall in love with a problem. For example, quitting porn - that's a problem that many men struggle with, and will be willing to pay to solve.

The problem with most psychologists is that they go to broad, and therefore cannot create a proven system to solve the problem, that works over and over again. Every one of their clients is just way too different.
