If you frame it in a way that doesn't show it as a conflict of interest when working full time, then 100% a positive to include. Can talk about having an entrepreneurial mindset which is proven through starting your own business and achieving $2mm LTM rev (and can subsequently tie to other traits, like organizational skills, communication, etc.)
yes, im either selling it or ill shut it down i dont want to do this as a career
Yes definitely. You do see a lot of kids with "businesses" that are just then dropshipping a few items for $10k gross... $2M revenue is very impressive. Don't make it your only point but great to mention
its in a similar space lol but done 200k+ in after-tax profit and built it to scale
If your business is making $2mm why even bother with ib? Entrepreneurship can have much more upside potential than ib???
i learn nothing from it, its boring, and im not sure if i want to do this for the rest of my life. the max i can scale it to is 300k after tax income.
are you doing like ecommerce or some shit? depends what the business is
