Answer 1

Put together a resume like everyone else who is looking for a job.  Highlight the things you did as a business owner and the skills you learned.  Things like managing people, hiring/firing employees, purchasing, accounting, dispute resolution of customer conflicts, prospecting for new business, etc.  All of those are very valuable skills.

I would also strongly work in your english.  Sorry to say, but your grammar needs work, and any employer will look at that closely.  You may want to work with a resume consultant to get it just right to get you a better chance of getting an interview.  And don't mention you are only planning on working for 1-2 years.  A company wants someone who is in it for the long term, not a temporary fix to a problem.

Answer 2

When you ask a question like this there are only two basic kinds of answers you are going to get:

1.  Responses (like this one) telling you that you are going to get a bunch of spam about scams.

2.  Spam.  (Some of the spammers may post unkind remarks about this but that's OK with me.  They are still spam.)
