When Do You Fire Your Boss
If you are thinking of quitting your day job and firing that irrational and irritating boss, you have to come up with a game plan. Don’t every quit before it is the right time because you will probably regret it. First you have to decide what you want to do for a business or work at home assignments. Evaluate what you are good at and then write everything down.
Don’t tell anyone of your coworkers what your intentions are. Someone may snitch on you and then the boss may fire you first. You don’t want to give him or her that pleasure. However, I must warn you, don’t burn your bridges behind you. You never know what the future may bring and it may occur that you have to call your boss up and asking him back for your job. Just kidding! Still don’t tell anyone off or be mean to anyone. You might need a reference from someone in the office. I learned that the hard way.
OK, so now you are going to construct a game plan. After you find out what you want to do, then try to start doing that part time. For example, if you are good at making crafts, why not go to the weekend flea markets and sell your ware. You will get a good feel of whether that item or items will sell full time or not.
You can also try selling your stuff on ebay. Study the auctions of others who are selling similar stuff and find out what headlines are attracting more bids, and copy the headline (not word for word), but something as creative as the one you see.
You could also try to solicit your family members and friends to see if they like what you are selling. Get help also from your family to have them advertise your business through word of mouth or flyers to their friends as well.
As soon as you see that the business is raking in a profit, write a letter to your boss and tell him or her that they are fired. I am kidding again!! Write a nice professional letter giving two weeks notice. You don’t have to explain that you are starting a home-based business. Do that only if you think it is necessary. Good luck!
