So my employer is mandating the job. I don’t want to take it and all the boosters forever. Seriously considering starting my own business. Any thoughts guidance? I do have a niche skill which is likely marketable to a broad market.

If you don't learn or outsource the business of business your craft will not feed you. That being said, don't spend hours and days and weeks trying to accomplish something that you can pay another entrepeneur whose specialty is that thing for a couple of hours of their time to do for you. ie - accounting, bookkeeping, webpage creation, even marketing and copywriting - assuming these are not your skills. You will also be networking and find clients who will support your business while you are supporting theirs.
And - people suck and will often take advantage of you. Take the high road and apply your time and effort to the next thing rather than focusing on what you think they or you deserve. You'll be more profitable and happier.
Thank you!
