We had the good fortune of connecting with Jesse Acosta and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jesse, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
From a young age and i mean elementary school years I was always trying to figure out a way to make my own money and I used to make these geletain-type bugs in a toy oven called creepy crawlies and then sell them to my schoolmates on the bus in the morning. So, as I got older and had a part-time job in high school, it made sense how I would total my monthly expenses and then try to figure out what I could sell on eBay to make enough money to quit my job.
As I became a young adult I found it challenging to find my way and tried many different avenues from going to college to study to become a dietician and then going after a BA in Christian Ministry to even my stint in the police academy I did not find my way until a friend approached me and offered me a job as a sales contractor for his weight loss and hormone balancing clinic. This was a pivotal moment that helped shape my entrepreneur spirit which has now led me to have multiple businesses I run from consulting with weight loss clinics like www.quantumwellnesshrt.com to starting my own stock trading educational site www.thedaytraderchatroom.com where you can find my courses and live mentorship programs.
The thought process for me owning my own business has always been the simple fact that I do not want my future tied to someone else’s dream and I want my future to allow me the time and flexibility to be around my family and friends without having to ask a boss for time off or for a sick day. Freedom from the regular everyday rat race is what I have always wanted and I thank God he let me find it.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I have two main businesses that I currently run and have my full professional attention. The first one is a weight loss and age management clinic that I work with as a business management consultant. The main mission for us is to help people lose the weight they want to lose which can be a difficult task for most people in times when food is filled with so much junk that makes it nearly impossible to lose weight without proper education and guidance. The other part of this clinic is helping both male and female patients find a way to balance out their hormones and help with the aging process to keep health in check and allow them to age gracefully in a time of high stress and poor diets. The main goal of the doctor is to prevent health issues before they start by addressing each patient as an individual case they are with a concierge approach. At Quantum Wellness www.quantumwellnesshrt.com the main goal always is to help patients achieve their personal and health goals as easily and quickly as possible via a customized approach and not a cookie cutter approach like many places out there.
My second business is one that I have a huge passion for because I believe people tend to have trouble with money because the school system does not educate us about things like the stock market or living below one means. This business is called The Day Trader Chatroom www.thedaytraderchatroom.com and my main goal here is to teach my members how I approach the stock market and how I trade in the stock market as well as seminars I do on financial literacy. Jonal who I mentioned earlier is my business partner in this endeavor and we are having a great time running what we call The DTC. I get inspired when my members message me and tell me how well they are doing and how much they have learned since joining and going through my courses. We even promoted one of our members to an educational moderator after being with us for a year because of how much he has learned and gave another a watch after his first year as a prize for the effort he has put into his education and improvement in his trading process.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
So a week-long trip with my best friend? Since it is a week-long trip I would say it would be a family trip and the way it would play out is fairly easy for me to plan. The first thing is we will head down to the Florida keys where I have a property that we enjoy with my boat right don’t the dock! On day 1 we settle in and plan out the week which will include things like taking the entire family out for a boat ride and sand bar trip to enjoy some fun on the water, along with other days of fishing for dinner and trips to key west which is just 30min away where we can walk the shops and check out a great ice cream place that has been in key west for many years right on Duval. We would also do a day trip to the dry Tortugas on the catamaran that takes you there from key west. Basically a full week of fun in the sun and on the water with fresh fish for dinner, great restaurants near and more!
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I believe no one is self-made no matter if you went from $0 to $ billion! The reality is that somewhere along the way you either had someone hold a door open or someone pushed you through a door. This in my opinion does not take away from your success or mine. I believe I owe my success to many first, I thank God for allowing me to have the family and friends I have who have been a massive part of my success. My parents never once got in the way of me chasing after my dreams even when they did not understand or like them. My wife believes in me and pushes me to continue my work even when I doubt myself, my long-time friend Juan opened the door for my first sales contracting work and with whom I hope to do some business again. My current business partner Jonal he is the other half of our business www.thedaytraderchatroom.com
Having a team of people you work with and family that supports you is absolutely essential to the longevity of any entrepreneur because this journey is not a fun one alone and most definitely not an easy one alone.
