a choice.
a choice for freedom.
a choice to stop running from yourself and face your darkness, your fears but also your greatness.
a choice to stop lying to yourself.

and ultimately, a travel towards a better self. hope many of you will make it. I didn't yet, still did not stop preparing.

I voted part time job although it is a significant part of my income.

I trade to fund my retirement.

I wouldn’t call it a full time job because I spend too much time doing other things.
I wouldn’t call it a hobby because my hobbies usually cost me money.
I’d call it a Home Based Business.

Interesting the poll shows 52% are voting trading as a full time job or career. Significant numbers surely. That sentiment seemed to be far different than just even a few years ago.

What's the difference between professional career and full time job? I assume professional career is something you've been doing longer and take more seriously, perhaps in a firm with other traders?

I would assume that a "full time job" would be one where you are looking after yourself. A "professional career" would be one where you are advising others as well as looking after yourself and getting paid for that advice.
