soft factor of business owner
So I own an online business that does 60k+ in sales a year. I am listed as a co-president of the LLC, is this a soft that is worth noting in apps?

Re: soft factor of business owner
It's an interesting soft and might make for a good PS, but it won't get you in anywhere your numbers don't already give you a shot at. Just like almost every single other soft.itachiuchiha wrote:I meant: is it a good factor in helping someone in getting in?bee wrote:it is presumably already on your resume. what do you mean by noting it on your app? writing your PS about it?itachiuchiha wrote:So I own an online business that does 60k+ in sales a year.

Why don't you just stay with the company and expand? Firms fight for the table scraps of businesses. Why not build your own table instead?

OP, this is certainly something you can write about in your PS if you feel like that's your best option, but it isn't going to make you outperform your numbers.

I don't want to sound like a douche, but I agree w/ Aawaldrop and would not mention your company's revenue on your resume, PS, etc. Just keep it a mystery and hope they assumed $10000000+ (in which case you'd probably be an idiot to go to lawl school). It still takes a ton of courage to start and stick with a business, so I think it's a decent soft. Just won't help you actually get in, as others mentioned, unless maybe pitted against a numbers twin.

Re: soft factor of business owner
yup 60k in sales, and about 40k of which is net profit. I will not make mention of the sales on the PS. But this is part time. I go to college full timesuperdingle2000 wrote:Aawaldrop wrote: 60k in sales is not a lot
