Does anyone have experience in job searching while owning their own business (and planning to sell/close their business)? I've revamped my resume so that it reads as me being a high level employee of my company (it's accurate and the title is consistent with what I do) just trying to figure out if there's benefit to somewhat concealing the fact that I own it. I feel like having the ownership up front was causing employers to either treat it like a gap in employment or like I'm overqualified.

Hello small business owners! How many of you have an exit plan in place to harvest the wealth you’ve built and make sure your family is taken care of? Stats show that the vast majority of business owners have never thought to make a plan.

At my firm we always tell clients “Everyone leaves their business eventually. Whether you do it standing up or lying down is up to you!”

I'm working on a pitch deck, for an event that I'm planning next year for my wine brand called OBA, but I'm struggling to come up with sponsorship ideas.

I don't want to go the traditional route of creating tiers, because I feel like you should do most of the things in tiers regardless on how much they donated. Can anyone assist with coming up with some ideas?

Also, does anyone know how to create a virtual swag bag?

Thanks in advance.

For those who are established, what steps did you take to ensure consistent growth? One thing that has always deterred me is how often businesses fail. I'm looking for an exit opportunity and have been considering building my own thing for a while. Thanks!!
