Boss wants to revolve the business around me because I’m good at what I do- but I want to start my own thing eventually.

I love my boss, job, and schedule. I was hired as a lead groomer but I get paid as much as my only coworker does. I was also the first and only employee. My boss wants me to eventually over see the vans they add on to the business but I never wanted to do any of this and didn’t know they would want to expand so much. I’m only making 3-4k a month right now.

I’m also feeling the pressure as times goes on, and ultimately I feel guilty because I’m applying for financing on a van as soon as my car is paid off later this year. My grievance is I don’t want to be a business owner without the title. My boss is well off and doesn’t know grooming- but they’re a very fair and kind person. I’m only bringing home 38% and I can’t live off of it. I know what I need to do, I just feel guilty for when I pull the rug. I hate being nervous about starting my own business on top of this. Heeeelllppppp.
