Customer wants me to stay out of their space

My largest customer is threatening to terminate our contract because I am planning to attend a conference in "their" industry. They are saying if I market myself in the industry I am a competitor. If I do business with one of their competitors, I am a competitor, etc. They are 200+ times my size... Is it normal to restrict small vendors from your industry? I've worked in the industry before. I can certainly scale faster by marketing there, but losing this contract would be a huge setback. Should I let them go, or stay out of that industry?

I blew an interview, is there a chance to change their minds, or I'm doomed

Yesterday I had an interview which I blew it. I made a huge mistake by not checking their website; they asked me what would change, and I said to add more testimonials. I said this because I wasn't expecting that question; the thing is that they have a good chunk of testimonials on their webpage. Should I write them telling the truth, that I hadn't checked their website in great detail, but with an attachment of all the things that I think they should change/update? Or what should I do?

Before the pandemic, Americans would rather buy another car rather than pay for a $1,500 repair—now used cars are so unaffordable that drivers are shelling out $5,000 or more for even costlier repair bills https://t.co/O3feJfUNfb via @BW

Can you have one company car for three of you businesses?

I'm going to be purchasing a new vehicle over 6000 GVWR I have three businesses... I have a Travel/Tour operator S-Corp Boat charter business - LLC Photography Business - Soleprop I have a quickbooks for each of them and just wondering how to claim this on my taxes for the $25,000 tax break. I will use the car mainly for towing the boat to and from the launch ramp and for performing maintenance. For my photography business, any time I go on a photoshoot or go out collecting content to sell on my website (this will account for the majority of the trackable milage) For my Travel agency, it's just a commuter car to and from meetings. My S-corp travel company is my cash heavy business... It's an EV also and get's the $7500 tax credit. Is it better to lease it or buy it out? Retail on the truck is $72k if that makes a difference.

The rich, who got even richer in the pandemic era, are unceasingly deploying their wealth into luxury homes. More than $40 billion worth of residential real estate valued at $10 million or higher changed hands in 2021, according to a report from real estate brokerage Compass. That’s more than double the amount in 2020. In New York’s Long Island alone, five properties — not in the Hamptons — sold for $10 million or more last year, totaling $101 million.
