One is a medical doctor in the field of orthopedic surgery who has chalked up 10 years of successful practice. The other is a professional who served as operations manager in a logistics firm.

What he meant was that when the market share was calculated, the resulting number was so small and insignificant, something like 0.0000xxx%.

[Title] => Shaping the compensation structure
[Summary] => It is a widely held notion that entrepreneurs do not have a formal compensation structure. They do have one and, in fact, many enterprises can benefit from using an entrepreneurial compensation structure.
Compensation structure is entrepreneurial because the amount taken home is not a defined fixed amount that is expected to automatically increase every year. Rather, the amount changes and is directly dependent on what the individual does.
