In applying for a position, should I mention I also own my own my own business? The experience is directly related and important, but it could also be seen as a potential distraction. Thoughts?

Telling them that could either for in or against your favor. I'd tell them just so that they know, just reassure them that you won't let it affect the work you'll be doing for them.

I would be honest and let them know that it will not distract you from that job if it won't. If it can hurt that job then I would mention that too. Some companies will work with your schedule to help you out also. I wouldn't lie because when they do find out and I am sure they will then they will see you as a liar and either fire you or never trust you. I would go with the lesser of two evils and if they don't want to hire you then they probably realize that you would not be able to handle both jobs, therefore you should be looking for something that you can handle. Good luck
