So, even though I have a natural cosmetics business that is profitable (not six figures, however), and I am working on monetizing a website that I've had for a few years, I decided to do something that made me sick to my stomach to do.
I took a job. Someone (one of my slowlane family members who is constantly trying to get me to change my way of thinking) sent me the job posting since the office was looking for someone with website development and internet marketing skills. I thought that if I took the job it might be a good opportunity to do some learning that I could apply to my own businesses.
I realized that it was a huge mistake on my part. I hate the job and everything about it. I simply couldn't continue to work here even if they tripled what they are paying me.
How do you gracefully (or does it matter) back out of a job that you just took? My boss is well-connected person, but we live in a very big city, so it might not matter that much. I feel like every flipping second that I spend here I am robbing myself.
