Adrian Reid worked 12-14 hours a day in a corporate job while trading on the side. In less than 30 minutes a day, his trading earned more than his job. The stress and exhaustion finally made him quit.
The last 12 months that I was working in the corporate world, my job was just insane. It was so punishing. I worked probably 12 to 14 hours a day, at least six days a week, Huge stress, didn't sleep well. Deadlines from the office and from clients that were just unreasonable. But that year I was also trading. And I had been trading for a long time up until then. And that same year, in less than 30 minutes a day, I made more money in my trading. And so I had this well paying job that was literally killing me with stress. And I had my trading on the side and my trading made more money. And so I got to the end of the year, I don't need this anymore. It was time to go. For me, it was basically the work. The corporate job got to the point where it just wasn't tolerable anymore. And I was trying to hold off that point because the longer you stay in the job, the more money you can build in your trading account, the easier it is and that the more wealthy at the end of the day you become. But for me, that year was the final straw. So I just gave my notice and left and didn't look back.
