Entrepreneurship

Do you want to be your own boss?

Many career areas and positions offer lots of opportunity to be entrepreneurial, without the ultimate responsibility of business ownership. But, a large component of retailers own their own store(s). Single, independent, and privately owned retail businesses account for 95% of the retail industry.
