You can't have a "job" as a plan B since you are still exchanging hours for pay at the direction of someone else. Your plan B has to be your own business.

Most businesses fail in the first year. A plan B is supposed to be a plan in case plan A doesn't work out. Side hustle as a plan B yes, but business? DEFINITELY NOT
