Internship and my Ecom business

Hi all. I just started my junior year in college and I will be interning next summer in NYC. Although I am grateful for the opportunity I am also a bit worried about an Amazon store that I have. It has been growing and has an ROI of 30% but I am looking to do the internship because I fear that if things go bad for me later on in life that my business wouldnt be enough to help me get a job that pays decently well. So I want to do the internship to have it on my resume as a safety net but I also dont want to ruin my business while I am in it as my goal would be to one day manage my business fulltime once it grows more.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What could I be advised?

Thank you
