Dirty little secret....many businesses unfortunately will not hire someone who has run their own business. Afraid that they are too independent, won’t take orders, and will stray off the reservation.
It’s B.S. but I’ve heard it too many times.
Yeah, but I was such a corporate robot before. You would think that would count for something. Ha ha.
The bigger issue is that my business (Sports Photography for Colleges) was so different than my other “professional” experience that people look at a VP application and say to themselves, “Why would I hire a photographer?”
It will happen. Probably through a networking thing with an old co-worker.
