  • EP.191 Overcoming the Fear of Your Employer Discovering Your Side Business

    In today's episode we address the fear that new business owners or people with W2 jobs have about their employers finding out about their side businesses. I want to remind you that you have the right to pursueĀ your own interests outside of work and thatĀ your employers don't controlĀ your personal lives.Ā There are two waysĀ you canĀ handle this fear: confidently respond to any questions about the side business by emphasizing that it doesn't impact job performance, or proactively communicate with employers to provide clarity and avoid miscommunication. The main takeaway is that individuals should not let the fear of their employers' reaction hold them back from pursuing their entrepreneurial goals.
