This post is in response to Natalie’s 10 Day Freedom Plan Blog Challenge Day 1 and this is my first ever blog!
I know how my perfect life looks. I have done for quite a while but even so, as with everything worth having, it comes with difficulties. Here are the 2 issues bothering me most right now..
- How do I start an on-line business without my employer knowing about it? The only social media I currently use is facebook and a lot of my friends are connected with work – this includes my boss. I really can’t afford for them to know I’m planning on leaving before I have my venture underway.
- What do I do first? I have a whole page of ideas but don’t want to appear flaky by swapping around from one to another. How do I work out which one is most likely to give me the life I want in the shortest time?
I’m hoping the next 10 days will help me to address these problems …watch this space.

The best way for your boss to not know is to not post anything about it directly to your social media until your notice is in. You can still set up a facebook page for your business and other social media accounts, but I would recommend only inviting people who aren’t connected to your work to “like” or “follow” you there.
If anything does happen to come up, I would say that it is just a hobby or part time job, because right now that’s what it is while you still have your other job. So without mentioning you want to go full time, there shouldn’t be a conflict unless your business will directly compete with your current job (you didn’t specify what you want to do in this post so I had to be vague).
Hope this helps!
