Usage Notes
"创业" is a formal term often used in business and economic contexts. It differs from "开店" (to open a shop) by emphasizing the entrepreneurial and innovative aspect rather than just opening a store. Avoid confusing it with "工作" (work) or "就业" (employment), as "创业" focuses on creating and running a new business rather than working for others.
