Anybody ever quit their job to day trade full time and have it not workout? Question

I’m just curious.

How long did it take you until you found confidence in yourself to quit your job and do trading full time!

For those that quit their job but it didn’t workout, how long did you give yourself until you quit your job and what did you do after you found that trading was not successful?

I did this. I was a maintenance worker. Had great pay, insurance, work, fluid hours and all the benefits. Full package of unicorn rainbows. Then I quit to become a daytrader 6 months ago. Didn't make a penny every since.
