Ok totally agree with you on this, I'm not against a normal job all sort of because I have a normal job which I'm doing now and I'm also paid for it.
But my issue with Normal job is you tend to have less time for yourself, the job take almost all your time and give you less time to focus on other things which maybe productive to you.
However if I would quit my job today and take my trading life seriously I would be so happy because I would earn more though facing the market risk but it will give me diverse opportunity too and less stress to my health.
Thank you.
The key is to diversify while working for the man. Have a few gigs going and most importantly find what clicks inside you. If you have something others need then you are in business.
