Thank you for great advice when I quit my job to run my own small business 5 months ago. In the last 29 days, I closed $188,206 worth of sales.
I quit my job and started (bought) my own small company 5 months ago. I struggled a bit initially to get things going. I almost thought of calling my old job back. I posted here about 3 months ago asking for advice and I got some great feedback and advice. It gave me confidence to keep trying. I am grateful that communities like this one exists. Thank you very much. I am still figuring out some things but it seems I may have found my sweet spot as far as sales is concerned. (I got lucky really) For instance, I closed $188,206 worth of sales in the last 29 days. That's 841% increase compared to 4 months ago. March 2022 Sales [https://imgur.com/a/u8mKgFW](https://imgur.com/a/u8mKgFW) I just thought I share and maybe that can inspire someone here to who might be just starting out or have been in the business for a while but feel discouraged. Again, thank you for your kind words and advice.

Looking for experienced wordpress user
Hey, I got some domains that have a good visiting amount (without any website behind it). No I thought it would be better to use that amount of traffic and create a site behind it but I have no clue about wordpress so I am looking for someone that would take care of that. At start I would like to create an online shop for one domain and distribute private labeled goods (of a special kind) about it. If anyone is interested feel free to contact me.

Where do I advertise a small business for sale?
I’m thinking about selling my business. It’s a Shopify online shop where I sell handmade skincare products (like bath bombs, face masks, etc). I want to sell the website, all of my stock, equipment, ingredients for making more, compliance and safety certificates for each product, plus my time to teach the buyer how to make the products. I will also provide an info pack with supplier details etc. It’s a very small business as it stands, but basically I want to sell it as a starter kit of kinds for someone. It would probably only work if it’s someone relatively local to me (I’m in Scotland) but I don’t know where to begin looking for a buyer and advertising. Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated!

Leasing a company vehicle for spouse..
Almost through my first year in business, and things are going great..I currently have 2 company vehicles, that are paid directly from the business, and one personal vehicle that my wife drives, that I pay from my personal expenses. My wife will soon start working part time for the business, doing some running around, social media content, etc.. My question is, am I able to lease a vehicle under the business, for her to drive, while doing some personal and some business related driving? How does this work, and is it worth it?
