I’ll be closing a deal to start a semi-absentee model franchise in the next few months. I plan to keep my day job while getting the business off the ground. I’d love to quit my job and go all-in if I reach a point it can fully replace my current income.
Should I tell my boss I’ll be running my own business 15-20 hours per week? I worry it could impact my career if they think I’m going to jump ship in a couple years.
If you tell your boss
Best case nothing happens
Medium case your boss questions if your working hard enough
Worst case you get fired
All downside with no upside
