  Careers in Entrepreneurship
 Entrepreneurship consists of vast career options depending on the passion and field of interest of
the entrepreneur. The saying “When you love what you do, it’s as if you are not working” is very
much applicable to entrepreneurs who consider managing their business as enjoyment rather than
working exhaustively.

 No successful business started huge right away. A business starts with an idea. Once a business
is established, the business owner, the entrepreneur, can choose to expand and explore
franchising, intrapreneurship (managing a start-up business in an established business), and
acquisition (buying another similar business or a new business)

 Franchising is a business arrangement wherein the franchisor, who is the owner of the business,
acquires distribution centers through the franchisee or affiliated dealers.
