If money is your prime motivation forget homeopathy. It is a vocation and a labour of love. There are far easier professions. Still I can think of no reason why the proper practice of homeopathy should not provide a living.

Having said that I'm not there yet! Which is one reason why I would add patience to the list of qualities. Patience to see through the first lean years without compromosing the quality of care (not the most important reason though). Proper practice takes time.

Patience is needed to let the person say all they have to say without interuption. Then to persist until the case has been taken in full. Patience is also required to understand the case and avoid haste in selecting a remedy or repeating it too soon.
To leave alone when required as nature has it's own time.

Finally patience with ourselves, these are high ideals and it is no easy task. To follow priciples requires awareness, application and compassion.
