Deni discusses what feelings he had around when he first made the move and decided he wanted to quit his job and go into doing day trading. Deni talks about how he familiarized himself with day trading and the timeline he followed when he quit his fulltime job. As we talk, Deni and I both share just how much work is actually required if you’re going to pursue something you love. It’s not about if you have a lucky circumstance, or come from a good family, or having the stars align that allows you to make a move and jump into something you want to do. You have to invest in yourself. You have to put in the time to learn, and keep learning, keep learning, keep learning—to get better and better and BETTER! It’s okay to be scared to make the transition and pursue your passion, but don’t let fear hold you back from doing what you love!

Powerful Quotes to Remember:

• When you decide to pursue your dream job, do the research and invest in yourself and make sure you’re knowledgeable and have the tools available.
• When you pursue something you’re passionate about, you don’t look at it as work. You view it as something that’s going to enhance you and learn more about what you love.
• Working from home or having your own business has nothing to do with luck. It’s about hard work. You have to be willing to put in the extra work.
• Knowing that you’re not just working for the weekend or for a vacation is a much better place to operate from.
• It’s okay to be in a place where all you know is that you want to do something on your own.
• When you truly are your own boss, you really get to pick the people you have in your life. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals and mentors will only propel your forward in your goals.
• It’s better to try and fail than to live a life of what-ifs.
• If you have no plan, and are not passionate about it, and look at quitting your job just as a way to escape a 9-5 job, it’s not going to work.
