Describe a successful small business you know

1. After completing my graduation I had to choose my future career path.
2. I was presented with two options.
3. First was to join an accounting company and work for someone else, and second was to join my family business.
4. Since I had done my graduation in the field of commerce, I was well suited for the accounting job, but I also realized that I can utilize my knowledge to grow my family business which my father had established successfully with years of hard work.
