When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

To answer your question: "cyclical business" is a rather broad term and to limit your answer based on a response substantiated by achieving tasks narrows the scope of what running a cyclical business actually could mean. Then there's the numbers: which option would you be inclined to choose? The one that pulls up six million hits, or the one with 106.000 hits? And lastly, I'm a native speaker and I just know this is the most appropriate answer.

: "werk aan de winkel hebben" does not not neccesarily correlate with having to achieve tasks
